Jeff Weiss of The Guardian favorably compared to DaBaby to Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Missy Elliott and Ludacris, noting the similarities in their musical styles which include "inventive rap stylists unafraid to make videos full of funny parodies and rubber-faced camera goofs".[8] According to Weiss, DaBaby "reflects an anachronistic approach to the rap game. If the charts are filled with opiated threnodies about addiction and sadness, he eschews singing in favour of raps that could take your head off". DaBaby has said "I can't sing, but I'll hit some notes here and there".[8]
