1. Bryan "Baby" Williams. (born February 15, 1969) better known by his stage name Birdman, is an American record executive and rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana.
In 1991, Williams and his older brother Ronald "Slim" Williams founded the hip-hop label Cash Money Records. Earlier in his career, he used his first moniker B-32 (Baby With The 32 Golds) and released his only independent album I Need a Bag of Dope in 1993. Years later, under the moniker "Baby", Williams recorded a number of albums with producer Mannie Fresh as the Big Tymers and performed as one of his own label's solo acts. Williams' most recent record, 5 * Stunna, was released on December 11, 2007.
2. Baby was a southern rock band from Texas. The band was signed to Lone Starr Records in the mid 1970s. They got the attention of the executives at Mercury Records based on their regional album sales in Texas. The album was remixed and re-released in mid 1975 on Mercury. Baby had a legion of fans in the Midwest and South in 1975-76 and headlined venues like the famed Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa while generating regional radio airplay on the band’s first single, “(It’s Another) Saturday Night”.
The band made just two albums; the self-titled album, 'Baby' and the follow-up album called 'Where Did All The Money Go?'' released on Chelsea Records in 1976. The second album’s title, summed up the feelings for the band that seemed poised for success similar to what other southern rock artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Marshall Tucker Band were having in the mid-70s, but the success never came for them.
After low sales of Where Did All The Money Go? and a lawsuit with John Waite and The Babys over the rights of the name “Baby(s)”, the band quit.
Guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Johnny Lee Schell went on to play on the Grammy winning album Nick Of Time from Bonnie Raitt in 1989. He has played with some of the world’s biggest names and continues to produce, write and contribute to many blues-based artists as well as his own solo projects. Recently, Schell’s guitar work was with Barbara Blue and her latest blues album, Memphis 3rd And Beale.

3. Baby, A band rock brought up on emotive lyrics and melancholy rock riffs gave breath to a soothing throb. Baby bringing literary element to songwriting and shoulder dropping breaks between guitar and drum birthing hopes to remind us all what its like to feel again. There seems to be no end to Baby, though i see nothing child like anywhere. Nick Dillion being the singer/songwritter and main guitarist there is without a doubt a full life of auralsex to come.
4. Craig Wedren is the former lead singer of Shudder to Think and now the lead for the newer pop-mash project, "BABY". This not to be confused with the other Baby.

Say what you want about him, but he's an absolute musical legend, PERIOD.
Antonio Kastro Carlisle De Melendez Y Tenerife
I'm far from the biggest Birdman fan but there's no denying his stamp on the game and while i usually can't stand people talking about money and excess more than a little bit, Baby does such a good job at stuntin his music takes much longer to irritate me though i do wish he'd talk about more than just money. Like u said he is a hip hop legend
Der maskierte Maskenhaider
Mannie Fresh and Lil Wayne are responsible for the music part. Birdman is a business legend though... that's his talent.
Lisa Fan
@Der maskierte Maskenhaider Mannie was the mastermind as well as dj crack out. baby and slim were the overseers. birdman started under the name b-32 aka baby with the 32 golds. He released a bounce tape called I need a bag of dope and appeared on most of the other early cash money bounce tapes and beyond. He had plenty talent himself as well as an eye for talent. Lil Wayne was put on to cash money by another one of their artists lil slim a few years later and the rest is history.
Antonio Kastro Carlisle De Melendez Y Tenerife
@Der maskierte Maskenhaider yea but u leaving out B.G. and especially Juvie...if 400 DegreeZ didn't hit so hard Cash Money might've went under before 2002...Birdman to me is a legend as a businessman like u say but even though he don't write a majority of his stuff there's no denying he's also somewhat legendary as a rapper too..if for nothing else just his effortless excess in luxury...and i really hate when rappers talk about money(or really anything) so damn much but he's an exception...heh heh that Breakfast Club interview alone is enough to give him a star on the hip hop walk of fame
Der maskierte Maskenhaider
@Antonio Kastro Carlisle De Melendez Y Tenerife you are right, they definetly did that. Btw i really like some of Birdmans solo stuff. Haha, yeah that interview is legendary
