DaBaby Makes the Funniest Videos in Rap

Exactly two months before the release of DaBaby’s Baby on Baby—his major label debut—the Charlotte-born rapper popped up with a video for a track called “Walker Texas Ranger.” The video is classic blaxploitation meets John Wayne remixed by Cole Bennett. It’s all fur coats and finger guns in the mountains. It’s easy to imagine the rapper born Jonathan Kirk hiding out in this dusty paradise like Humphrey Bogart in High Sierra, but instead of a climactic police shootout we get DaBaby bouncing with joy in the driver’s seat, looking at butts on his phone and using the blur function to suggest he’s packing…well, much more than a baby would.
