![]() ![]() ![]() The overwhelming impression on Too Hard is of fatigue. “ Only thing I know when we pulled up everybody hopped out firing/ I remember on the way back everybody in the car quiet.” The memory sprawls on for the entire verse, until finally he admits: “ I’m just glad the kid didn’t die.” Shootouts happen all the time in rap songs, but how often do we get a rapper remembering a specific one that happened some unspecified time in the past? “ Remember that shootout we had that one time we thought a kid died?” he reminisces, spieling to an unseen friend. There’s a moment on Lil Baby’s latest tape Too Hard, one of the most gobstopping on a rap album this year, where he suddenly and vividly remembers a shootout.
