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.
Based Niggas
Lil B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, nigga, I got some real hate in my heart
Lil B rep that 7 block, my nigga
Bitch Mob in this muhfucka, tiny pants
Everything
Nigga, I'm strapped up with a thirty
Dick with the tiny pants, nigga
100, bitch
Bitch, I got swag i beg your pardon
Based God, tiny shirts and Aston Martins
Thirty clip on me shotgun on me
I'm high and I'm lonely
Nigga play, then I'm testin' him
Fifty bitches on my dick, ho come again
I can't hear you in the new Phantom
Hood niggas, bitch, I don't believe in Santa
Cause I'm comin' in your house myself
Merry Christmas, Lil B got a thirty round
Happy New Year, Lil B be bulletproof
Gung Hay Fat Choy, bitch, I will shoot
Niggas punch me on YouTube
Now I'm huntin' for a nigga like Blue's Clues
Now I'm huntin' for a nigga like a racist
Peekaboo, bitch, your car's spade of aces
They call me deala (DEALA)
They say we killas (KILLAS)
Who we be? (what?) based niggas
Hah, bruh, they say we dealas (DEALAS)
They call me killa (the killa) who we be?
Based niggas
First time I robbed a bitch I was fifteen
I'm a goon so these girls be scared of me
Got the gun in my tiny pants, I'm a faggot
Buy my girlfriend a bitch
Wouldn't let me have it
Probation ain't shit to me
What the fuck I did last year is history
Westside, I'm an old bitch
Bitch Mob, tiny pants with the thirty clips
This ain't a love song, no Ryan Leslie
I got AKs bitch, I'm Phill Collins
Got shotguns bitch, I'm George Clooney
Only nigga in the hood with a pink Uzi
Lied to the bitch i won't buy the pussy
And I'm rich and I still won't buy her Gucci
I rob a bitch trickin' cash
Bitch Mob, pretty bitch, you can kiss my ass
I'll leave you in the chair like Ethan Hawke
So many bitches on my dick, I can't even talk
And I'm still reppin' Waterfront
And I still got these gold fronts

He emphasizes his readiness for any confrontation, being armed with a thirty-round clip and a shotgun.
