When Lil B titled his last digital label released mixtape I'm Gay, he received several death threats. Although he is heterosexual, he says the title is a message of support to the LGBT community. Referring to the alternative definition of gay, he says he is gay because he is happy. Following the death threats, he added "I'm Happy" in parenthesis to the album's title. I'm Gay received positive reviews with many fans commenting on the album's wide variety of positive messages and noting the unique beats and lyrical styles not common to mainstream hip hop. He raps about many controversial issues including race relations, poverty, humanity, and the justice system. The album also, according to many fans, shows the "true" side of Lil B. It entered the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart at #56 and the Heatseekers Albums chart at #20 for the week of July 16, 2011. It is for sale on iTunes but Lil B also uploaded it to the Internet for free, posting a link to it on Twitter and Facebook saying, "for all my fans who don't have $10 to buy my album, here it is for free."
Lil B typically releases at least one mixtape every month; so far in 2012 he has released 13 mixtapes - 4 in July alone. One of those released in July was the massive 848-song, nearly 5GB collection of Based Freestyles, which is his largest release to date. In 2013, hip-hop listeners voted Lil B as the greatest rapper of all time.

Lil B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Choose up bitch
I know your bitch wanna ho for me
She like my dance, she like my moves
Bitch pay me like you pay Uncle Sam
And then we going down to Oakland
I know your bitch wanna ho for me
I want some pussy i want some bitches
I want the mansions i want them Benzes
I need that bad i need that dough
I need my bitch i need my ho
I know your bitch wanna ho for me
I know your bitch wanna go for me
I know your bitch wanna ho for me
In Lil B's song "4 Me," the lyrics reflect a brash and provocative attitude towards women and material possessions. The opening line, "I know your bitch wanna ho for me," implies that the singer believes women aspire to engage in promiscuous behavior for him. This line can be seen as objectifying and demeaning towards women.
The subsequent lines further emphasize the singer's desires for wealth, fame, and sexual gratification. The references to money, such as "Bitch pay me like you pay Uncle Sam" and "I need that dough," highlight the singer's materialistic desires. The mention of going "down to Oakland" suggests a lifestyle filled with parties, excess, and potential opportunities for the singer to satisfy his desires.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer believes women want to engage in sexual activities with him, reinforcing the objectification of women. The desire for "pussy" and multiple "bitches" one can assume showcases the singer's insatiable sexual appetite.
Overall, the lyrics of "4 Me" portray a self-centered and misogynistic perspective, with an emphasis on material wealth, objectification of women, and sexual gratification.
