I’m almost a month late on this, but the video is hot. Not only is the song crazy but the video montage to the Cash Money empire is nostalgic. These guys really did a lot with a little.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have mad love for the big men in the game. When you here Pun or Biggie come on a track, they come with a level of confidence that surpasses that which you would expect from someone who isn’t exactly the prototype of “sexy” in the entertainment industry. A lot of rappers got their swag from their appeal to a female fan base. These guys got their swag from within. Fat Joe, Baby, and Rick Ross have continued the tradition.

Is there something about being an overweight rapper than infuses you with a sense of style? Since i’ve been a young blok i’ve seen the big guys in the industry kill the fashion game. I remember watching Biggie and his Versace shirts/shades wondering why his swag was always on a hundred billion. More recently, I’ve witnessed rappers like Fat Joe and Rick Ross completely shut down red carpets with their outfits…from the jewelry to the sneakers…murderous.

So consider this an ode to all the big men in the game. Hold it down!

Number Five: Baby

Name: Ronald “Baby” Williams

Nickname: Birdman

Occupation: CEO/Founder Cash Money Records & natural born hustlah

Weight: Unknown

Swag: Jewelry, Cash, Cars

Summary: Baby is the epitome of stuntin/ballin/blingin and it is safe to say his Cash Money Records label is synonymous with all three terms. Some of you are probably saying “Baby ain’t fat”. You’re right, but he was pretty chubby back in the day…and not much as changed in terms of his swag/style. #1 Stunna..yes he is.
