Unlike Charlie Parker’s CD of the same title, Baby’s “Birdman” is 22 tracks of ghetto fabulous laid over Dirrrty South crunk, funk and bounce beats. What’s the meaning behind the CD’s title? “Cause I’m fly,” assures the #1 stunna in his slow but sure style. With three tracks by CM collaborator Jazze Pha, one cut each from the Neptunes, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Jermaine Dupri, Leslie Brathwaite and the rest handled by fellow Big Tymer Mannie Fresh, Baby has broadened his CM base Guests include Toni Braxton, Cam’ron, P. Diddy, the Clipse, Keith Murray, Petey Pablo, 8ball and more, plus CM artists Lil Wayne, Boo & Gotti, etc. Then there’s the Ms. Birdman contestants from Buzzard Nut, Arkansas and Lizzard Spit, Louisiana. But that’s a whole ‘nother story! “Birdman” hits stores November 26, 2002.
