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.

510 ratchet
In Lil B's song "510 Ratchet," the repeated chorus of "I need all these hoes to get ratchet" sets the tone for the track's message. The term "ratchet" is often used in hip-hop to refer to a wild, uninhibited, or raucous behavior, especially in a party or club setting. In this context, Lil B is expressing a desire for the women around him to embrace this carefree and rebellious attitude. The repetition of the line emphasizes his longing for a particular type of energy and vibe from the women in his environment.
The following verses delve deeper into Lil B's interactions with these women. He talks about his desire to engage in sexual activities with young women and boasts about his material possessions like Bentleys and Maybachs. Lil B also mentions specific locations like different sides of a city, possibly referencing his presence in various communities. The line "I ain't no ancient nigga, I got a lot of bitches" portrays his confidence and appeal to women, highlighting his reputation as a desired figure in their eyes.
Lil B also mentions engaging in explicit activities with women, using provocative language to describe his encounters. The line "Put my dick in her mouth" is crude but further emphasizes his disregard for societal conventions and his focus on indulging in pleasure. His brash and unapologetic attitude towards sex and relationships is a central theme in these verses, reflecting his portrayal of hyper-masculinity and dominance over women.
The outro of the song shifts towards a call-and-response dynamic, encouraging the listeners to participate in the rambunctious and provocative atmosphere that Lil B is creating. The repeated chants of "Rachet Rachet Rachet" and the command to "twerk that ass on me" further solidify the song's focus on uninhibited behavior and sexual expression. Overall, "510 Ratchet" serves as a bold and explicit anthem celebrating a wild and carefree lifestyle, embracing elements of decadence, hedonism, and empowerment through sexual freedom.
