My Baby (Lil' Romeo song)
"My Baby" is the first single by American rapper Lil' Romeo from his debut studio album Lil' Romeo by No Limit Records. The song samples "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5. It topped the Billboard R&B chart and reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is, to date, Romeo's biggest hit. It was featured in the video game Thrillville: Off The Rails. Lil' Romeo established himself as the youngest person to achieve the #1 spot on the Billboard 200, breaking the record previously held by Michael Jackson.
In "My Baby", Lil' Romeo rapped, "After high school, I'm going straight to the pros." In 2004, the Orlando Sentinel referred to that lyric in an article about Romeo playing basketball at Beverly Hills High School.[1] Romeo accepted a full athletic scholarship to the University of Southern California in 2008.[2] Romeo played for two seasons with the USC Trojans men's basketball team.
One other major rap hit in 2001 sampled "I Want You Back": "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" by Jay-Z.
