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.

I'm not a dummy
Young BasedGod got bitches acting funny
That bitch sucked my dick and
She started to act funny
Young BasedGod got bitches making money
That bitch kissed my ass when
Iβm talking about money
She ain't talking about nothing
All she do is gossip, I'ma tell you something
Young BasedGod still selling jerry
Young BasedGod got bitches getting naked
Your bitch sucked my dick and
She started to thank me
Young BasedGod still do the hanky panky
Young BasedGod got bitches selling
Young BasedGod got bitches in Alaska
Young BasedGod got bitches in Tampa
Young BasedGod is so fucking cool
Young BasedGod the coolest guy
In fucking school bitch
Shake your booty, ho shake your booty, ho
Shake your booty, ho shake your booty, ho
Shake your booty, ho shake your booty, ho
Shake your booty, ho shake your booty, ho
Shake your booty, ho shake your booty, ho
Shake your booty, ho shake your booty, ho
Shake your booty, ho shake your booty, ho
Shake your booty, ho shake your booty, ho
In these lyrics, Lil B is expressing his experiences and interactions with women, particularly in the context of sexuality and materialism.

He asserts his intelligence by stating that he is not naive or easily fooled by women. Lil B refers to himself as the "BasedGod," suggesting that he is revered and influential in certain circles, causing women to act strangely around him.
Lil B continues to describe encounters with a specific woman who performed oral sex on him, which led to her changing her behavior towards him. This change can be interpreted as her feeling a sense of entitlement or expectation due to the sexual act they engaged in. He goes on to mention how he has power over women, as they are willing to go to great lengths, such as kissing his ass, to receive money from him. Lil B expresses his frustration with a woman who engaged in sexual activities with him but doesn't bring any substance to their interactions, focusing only on gossip and trivial matters.
The following lines highlight Lil B's involvement in the jewelry and fashion industry, emphasizing his ability to make money. He implies that he can influence women to engage in sexually provocative behavior, leading to them getting naked. Lil B also mentions the city of Alaska and Tampa, suggesting that his influence with women extends to these locations as well. Through these lyrics, Lil B aims to establish himself as a nonchalant yet influential figure who is embraced by women and holds a position of coolness and power.
The repetition of "Shake your booty, ho" throughout the chorus can be seen as objectifying women, reducing them to their physical attributes and reinforcing a stereotype of hyper-sexuality. It is important to note that these lyrics reflect Lil B's specific narrative and may not align with a respectful or egalitarian approach towards women.
