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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The mixtape bitch that look like rico, often the east coast
Niggas know I got that real smoke, indoor for real though
Real joint the type of smoke that make your girl jump out the window
Her big boob bad, boom, can nobody seek in my lane
Driving myself off in the game
These city streets is many beef, but I stay player
Nothing major, gotta keep my game sharp, like it’s a razor
For the fact that he was choosing, chosen, of the game that fits me
And I was broken, of emotion, it’s xbox the game of life
And I control it,
You’re so cool, stay in school and stay focused
The bitches love me, I didn’t nodes
Going up legend, yeah, message, 32 exes
Say …coming grown, reck the man, into …
Bitch kiss my ass and my status, based god while you living average
I’m still in the hood, what’s good
A lot of niggas playing games and I don’t think you should
I raised the bar a little bit, fuck them dipshits ass benefits

Future coming, gotta rewind myself
I’m spitting, don’t miss it, I gotta stay laced up,
Lil b, Halloween h2o, welcome to the, you know
Nigga thug out mixtape, you know, keeping it based
