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.

Thank you!
For the kind applause, I'm grateful
'Cus alotta new rap has became distasteful
A place for everything where the
Greats will face you
A place for everything where the
Saints will thank you
Up on the cloud where the space is vacant
Only if you seen cuz the space is sacred
Only if you know that the gift is ancient
Had to gift wrap the box to
Make sure you'll take it
Cuz I'm not a thief but
I'm sure he'll take it
A place for everything where I
Know he'll make it you have a hot song
No need to break it
Just focus on the focus command and conquer
Playing minigames your
(yeah) life like Contra (like Contra)
The contract like the people offer
A place where the new is the best encouters
When he come clean
But never clean no counters
My mom said "B, you gotta work for hours"
So I don't think that I showered
And that's no lie
A place where your dreams is power
Where the man who don't live
Is pronounced a coward
A spot where if you don't laugh you're sour
Where time don't fly it's just walkin' hours
So i present my paper
And hope that you like my statement
A place where don't nobody care who changing
Where the women are walkin' naked
Like the drink
I drink from the fountain of Eden
One scratch so I moved to Sweden
And that's no lie got sick like Ecoli
My primetime game time like Teo time
Plus I'm in the rap game no Teo time
Time out if you wanna go to sleep on top
A place for everything is a gift off top
A place where everybody love to watch
A place for the plants and
The seeds off crops
Where the man's your best friend
Not the dogs on leashes
Where we don't compare our speeches
I said well we don't compare our speeches
Cus we all equal
Negative is the real time evil
But that's not in
Basedworld we a branch of people
A place for everything it's a place for you

Had to eat 10 times just to clean your bowl
