For a guy born in 2000, BabyTron knows an astonishing amount of 1990s NBA trivia: “I’m ’90s Jordan, see the so-called MVP in the finals and keep scoring,” he spits on “90’s Bulls” (referring, of course, to Charles Barkley). The Michigan rapper was raised on basketball, cartoons, ’80s pop, and Detroit street rap, which goes a long way in explaining the BabyTron worldview. As a member of the scam rap trio ShittyBoyz, Tron broke through as a meme rapper, and though he’s still got a soft spot for all things sophomoric, his clever punchlines and esoteric references have earned him the right to be taken seriously. MegaTron 2 is the latest in a two-year stretch of projects that prove BabyTron could rap selections from the phone book and make it sound interesting. (Yes, he’s a zoomer, but anyone with that much intel on ’90s NBA lore surely can scrounge up a phone book.) It’s a 28-track speedrun of freestyled zingers over classic Detroit beats, like the icy “Murder Mitten,” or throwback samples like the inspired Degrees of Motion flip on “Trick or Treat?” The dinners are opulent, the smoke is potent, and the insults are eccentric as ever, including a track dedicated entirely to “yo momma” jokes. (“If you are what you eat, then yo momma’s a sloppy joe.”) And on “Ice Cream,” he rounds up a ragtag gang of merry pranksters (Certified Trapper, Soulja Boy Tell ’Em, Riff Raff, YN Jay) to join him in rapping about hitting deer with his car: real Midwestern hours.
