"Baby" is a song by American rapper Fabolous featuring Mike Shorey. It is the second single from Fabolous' third studio album Real Talk. The song reached #17 in the Hot Rap Tracks chart and #22 in the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, although only managed #71 in the Billboard 100. The song failed to make a big impact on the UK Chart, where it missed out on the top 40 following its release. It contains a replay, not a sample of "I Can't Help It" by Michael Jackson, lyrics from "2 Bad" by Michael Jackson and of "Breakadawn" by De La Soul. (Replayed by J remy of Orange Factory Music) The chorus also samples "Big Poppa" by The Notorious B.I.G. Rev Run makes a cameo appearance at the end of the music video.
