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 ↴
Realest nigga doing it, you feel me
I'mma tell it like this:
When I get I tracks I choose
And it's very rare
If I get on your song you're lucky!
Nigga keep the lean right
Certified street nigga, bruh
You couldn't believe it
Quit fucking with me, you know I got the AK
Wait a second bitch, you know I got the 50
In New York I had a talk with 50
Real street nigga made a freak 360
Forever be a thug and I'll
Forever be 6th street
Forever be 7th, you niggas got me fucked up
Because I'm positive you niggas think
That I'm a sucker til I pull that 9 out and
Have you sleeping in the river
My old G said "B you better dump the bitch!
How you got a girlfriend and
You don't even love yourself?"
Now I understand: wisdom over knowledge
Bossed up nigga and I ain't
Even went to college
And I ain't dissin niggas mad at my opinion
Wishing I'mma fall
People hating from a distance
But they don't really know I
Got the forward simulation
Pull 211, make your whores stripping
Nigga look back, I never Scott Pippen
Michael Jordan king of the forest
And after this, Scottie Pippen rich
Don't compare me to them other little kids
I got more hustle than a girl selling houses
Dope up in the roof
Nigga skiing over mountains
Dope up in my nose and
I'm looking like a skeleton
Depressed in the hood
It's worse than it's ever been
Dear Lord, please protect me from the Devil
It’s these motherfuckas actin' like we
Friends but they hatin' me
Word to my mom, I won't let the game break me
Million Dollar Spot
I'll put the money where the breaks be
All up on the the block with my heart in
Thank God I stay free: angel's prayer

It's your boy Lil B
This song is performed by the artist Lil B.
Realest nigga doing it, you feel me
I am the most authentic and genuine artist in the game, do you understand?
I'mma tell it like this:
I will speak the truth in the following lines:
When I get I tracks I choose
I carefully select the beats I want to rap on
And it's very rare
It's quite uncommon
If I get on your song you're lucky!
Consider yourself fortunate if I collaborate with you on your track
Nigga keep the lean right
Make sure the mixture of codeine and soda is properly prepared
Up under the speakers
Keep it concealed near the audio equipment
Certified street nigga, bruh
I have gained recognition and respect in the urban community
You couldn't believe it
You would find it hard to accept
Quit fucking with me, you know I got the AK
Stop messing around with me, I possess an AK-47 firearm
Wait a second bitch, you know I got the 50
Wait a moment, dear woman, you are aware that I own a .50 caliber weapon
In New York I had a talk with 50
I had a conversation with the rapper 50 Cent in New York
Real street nigga made a freak 360
I, a genuine gangster, performed a complete turn and evolved into a unique individual
Forever be a thug and I'll
I will always remain a violent criminal and
Forever be 6th street
I will forever represent the street known as 6th
Forever be 7th, you niggas got me fucked up
I will always represent the street called 7th, and you gentlemen have misunderstood me
Because I'm positive you niggas think
Because I am certain that you individuals believe
That I'm a sucker til I pull that 9 out and
That I am a weak and easily deceived person until I draw a 9mm pistol and
Have you sleeping in the river
Cause you to rest eternally in the waters of a river
My old G said "B you better dump the bitch!
My older and wiser associate told me, 'B, it is in your best interest to end your relationship with that woman!
How you got a girlfriend and
How can you claim to have a romantic partner and
You don't even love yourself?"
Yet you don't even possess self-love?'
Now I understand: wisdom over knowledge
Now I comprehend the importance of wisdom surpassing mere knowledge
Bossed up nigga and I ain't
I have elevated my status as a confident individual and
Even went to college
I achieved this without pursuing higher education
And I ain't dissin niggas mad at my opinion
I am not disrespecting individuals who are angry at my point of view
Wishing I'mma fall
Hoping for my demise
People hating from a distance
Individuals expressing resentment without direct confrontation
But they don't really know I
Yet they lack true understanding of who I am
Got the forward simulation
I possess the ability to project myself forward in life
Pull 211, make your whores stripping
Engage in a robbery using a firearm, causing the prostitutes to undress
Nigga look back, I never Scott Pippen
Reflect on the past and realize that I have never relied on someone else's success, unlike Scottie Pippen
Michael Jordan king of the forest
I am the dominant figure, just like Michael Jordan ruled the basketball court
And after this, Scottie Pippen rich
Even after my success, Scottie Pippen will still be wealthy
Don't compare me to them other little kids
Do not judge me based on the actions of other young individuals
I got more hustle than a girl selling houses
I possess more drive and ambition than a woman who sells properties
Dope up in the roof
Illegal drugs concealed in the top of the building
Nigga skiing over mountains
I am effortlessly gliding over obstacles, just like a skier conquering mountains
Dope up in my nose and
I am using drugs by snorting them and
I'm looking like a skeleton
It has caused me to appear extremely thin and emaciated
Depressed in the hood
Feeling deep sadness and despair in the neighborhood
It's worse than it's ever been
The situation is more dire than it has ever been before
Dear Lord, please protect me from the Devil
Oh Lord, I beg for your divine protection against evil forces
It’s these motherfuckas actin' like we
These individuals are pretending as if we are
Friends but they hatin' me
Close companions when in reality they despise me
Word to my mom, I won't let the game break me
I swear on my mother's life that I will not allow the music industry to destroy me
Million Dollar Spot
A location where large sums of money are involved
I'll put the money where the breaks be
I will invest money in strategic places to safeguard its integrity
All up on the block with my heart in
Being fully engaged and committed while present in the neighborhood
Thank God I stay free: angel's prayer
I express gratitude to God that I am not incarcerated, symbolizing it as an angel's prayer
