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 keep my mouth closed like I'm off them things bro
I'm jaw locked up, I'm locked up no bail
Raising hell in the cell
m still the dealer
Mm. Everybody's dealer (BasedGod!)
Everybody buy dope from me because I'm iller
I'mma eat a pussy, and I have no remorse
Keep my eyes closed cuz I know who's a killer
Shut your mouth bitch!
Uh! BasedGod! BasedGod!
BasedGod it's Friday
BasedGod's you sell dope
BasedGod's a bitch because he sleeps in a mansion
30 guns, salute, I don't know what happened
All I know is this, I'mma rep the bitch
Bitch Mob, Bitch Mob, I fucks with the Bitch Mob
The music in my mansion, we all support the Bitch Mob
Everybody know that I'm down to pour liqs
I'm strapped to the chair, and I'm frying out that bitch
I'm in the cell repping where I'm from because I'm crazy (BasedGod)
I got pussy fed

Bitch breathe slow (x16)
AHHHHHH LET ME OUT OF THIS MOTHERFUCKING CAGE!
Har De Har
Bitches love the BasedGod
I'm SpongeBob SquarePants, I'm strapped with the heater

Bitch pull over! You know I got a license!
Bitch you look so good! Let your hair down
SpongeBob BasedGod! You're so funny!

If you think about it, 8 years later everyone copied Lil B. The way they rap, the way they dress, everything. Lil B deserves more credit

This is very true. Lil B, Asap Rocky, Chief Keef are the three kings on this new generation

I can't believe Lil B sampled Death Note. To think that he doesn't restrict his music range to certain genres or styles simply impresses me. Lil B is really one true soul.

God's Father is probably going to be my favorite mixtape from Lil B. I came home to find out he dropped this, another killer. I love you and your music beyond words, such an inspiration to me and many others. Keep doing your thing, Brandon. WE ARE A BASED FAMILY LIVING IN A BASED WORLD. Based heads love you. Thank you for this rare track.
