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.

The lyrics to Lil B's song "4 The Paper" speak about the commodification of sex and the pursuit of money. The repeated line "She fucking for the paper" highlights the idea of a woman engaging in sexual activities solely for financial gain. The line "Can't nobody save her" suggests that once one becomes entangled in this lifestyle, it becomes difficult to escape or find salvation.
The lyrics also touch on themes of materialism and the allure of wealth. The references to money, such as "bands," "cash," and "cheese," signify the desire for financial success and the willingness to engage in immoral activities to achieve it. The mention of the "game" implies a sense of power dynamics, where women manipulate men for financial gain, further blurring the lines between love, transactional relationships, and exploitation.
The repeated references to Lil B himself, including his role as a landlord and his ability to "make it rain," suggest his status as a successful figure who is not afraid to indulge in reckless behavior. He portrays himself as someone who is desired by many women but remains indifferent, prioritizing money and personal gains over emotional connections.
Overall, "4 The Paper" provides a critique of the obsession with money and the ways it can corrupt individuals. It sheds light on the objectification of women and the societal pressures that drive them to engage in questionable actions in pursuit of financial security.
