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.

This ain't funny
Bro I'm really funky
1045c lookin' critical
(Based God Based God)
Cool individual I ain't got no hitter cause I am the hitter!
Only famous bitch still thuggin' on the dealer
Tiny shirt, tiny pants bitch my killer
I'm still thuggin' to the end you fucking bitch(Based God)
Like I said bro... you know. With this number one bitch I see. I see that we gon' have some problems
Ok, that ain't nothing, it ain't nothing. You ain't ready for that bitch!
I'm steady funking, bro always funking X3
(Swag Based God!)
Damn I'm heavy funking... I think I kinda like it
I poured another duke
Ohh I'm so excited
I'm heavy east stocking
(Fuck with me)
I'm over 40L
(Ad libbing)
Based God struggling but everybody loves it
I'm so high I stay burnt in public
(Based God)
You say that you're thugging? Na, I'm heavy thuggin'
(Grunting)
Pretty bitch back in the thumps I does it
Everybody does it, but hey bitches love it
Got that chopper chopping like Dora the Explorer
You act like a whore (Swag) Im'ma take you lower
I think I'm Bruce Willis Cause I'm living in a movie its a rated R movie
I'm still in the Jacuzzi
Hoes suck my dick then the beat turn up
Raise hell in the cell bitch and rep where you're from
A hundred thousand dollars I rep where I'm from
Fuck em!
