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.

The lyrics to Lil B's song "Castles And Dragons" present a brash and boastful narrative about the artist's perceived success with women and material possessions. The opening lines, "Wow, look at me, I have cookies and I have bitches," immediately set the tone for the song's audacious and flamboyant nature. Lil B uses provocative language to assert his dominance, suggesting that he has multiple women and is capable of acquiring whatever he desires.
The line "Five bitches, I got ten bitches" indicates the artist's exaggerated claim of having an abundance of female partners. He playfully jabs at someone who allegedly stole his style, asserting his superiority by emphasizing even more conquests in the future. The references to castles and local towns may allude to Lil B's elevated status and his ability to attract attention wherever he goes.
Following this, the repeated phrase "Love and marriage" that is shouted out suggests a satirical commentary on the superficiality and fickleness of relationships. Lil B juxtaposes his lifestyle of casual encounters with the traditional values associated with love and marriage, demonstrating his rebellion against societal norms.
The lyrics further emphasize Lil B's bravado and nonchalant attitude towards women and materialism. He confidently claims to have the "swag," the "juice," and the ultimate pool - symbols of his social status and desirability. The repetition of "Love and marriage" throughout the song becomes almost ironic as it contrasts with Lil B's explicit descriptions of his interactions with women.
Towards the end of the lyrics, Lil B boasts about his ability to enjoy the finer things in life, such as buying expensive items, owning mansions, and even schools. The lyrics express a carefree and reckless attitude, suggesting a lifestyle of indulgence and disregard for consequences. The final lines reinforce this tone of audaciousness as Lil B mentions living life to the fullest, selling drugs, and engaging in criminal activities.
Overall, "Castles And Dragons" presents Lil B as a larger-than-life figure, boasting about his sexual conquests and material wealth while simultaneously challenging societal expectations around love and relationships. The lyrics highlight Lil B's disregard for traditional conventions and his desire to flaunt his success.
