The two projects have drawn comparison from Hip Hop critics, and it appears Westside Gunn’s ‘Pray For Paris’ has garnered much more positive reviews than DaBaby’s. ‘Blame It On Baby’ was heavily criticized on twitter after the release as fans seem to be disappointed with the body of work.

Although DaBaby’s album was able to pull 25 million streams on Spotify in the first half hour of its release, ‘Blame It On Baby’ proved underwhelming for many Hip Hop fans.

Westside Gunn took to social media on Saturday to share a meme made at Baby’s expense that positions ‘Pray For Paris’ as greater than ‘Blame It On Baby’, asking fans to “change my mind.”

“Good Morning #PrayforParis,” Gunn tweeted, along with some laughing emojis. The Dreamville rapper also shared the same meme on his Instagram story. DaBaby is yet to respond to the comparison.
