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.

Shouts out to everbody that's riding

Roaming in the streets cause I'm lonely

Getting money I'm hungry
Bitch I eat a nigga face
See the blood now I'm running

Niggas see my grill, reverse fangs
Blue diamonds got game, pull diamonds
Nothing less than a dimepiece
Plus I got a quarter piece
In my pocket for sale
Well, shh, I got on bail

Taking over your block coming over your spot

Man you know I ain't listen
Man them niggas will shine
And go harder than your glisten
And I advise you bitch niggas to listen
Got a problem with piston

Going through the skin, muscles, and joints
Gotta hustle for coins
Ain't never free gang, man

Mischievious thoughts abouts snitches
I have dubious intentions and thoughts regarding informants

Going through the skin, muscles, and joints
Penetrating through the body, affecting the skin, muscles, and bones
Gotta hustle for coins
I must work hard and engage in illegal activities to earn money
Ain't never free gang, man
There's always a cost associated with belonging to this gang, man
I gotta buss 'em 4 points
I must take aggressive action and attack four different targets
