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.

Lil B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You know, I'm like, I believe
In what you believe, man!
You know, I'm down with the world, man
Whatever we are
Whatever we see to get by every day
But you know I respect the highest above
Everything, you know, I'm so grateful
I just wanna say that God is real
Angels is waking up, man, the days we feel
Blunt shots, man they're speaking the word
Gave me the message how can I understand it?
From a real person who lived up
Would he never knew that he
Would tell me this stuff
His partner over way still Kushing
Saying man, he an angel, I believe
What they speak is so real
Shit man, I really can't believe it!
Life got a little deeper meaning
Man, it's Heaven or Earth
You can't lose your joy, you lose your worth
Stress make it much worse
Kill reviving your soul, cause it's real!
Really, how I feel?
Either we're brain washed or coincidence
But angels is really shit!
I'm peeping like a person when Jesus spit
Every person got a gift for receiving it!
Everybody got a gift for receiving it
I seen an angel, I seen an angel!
Angels is real, I'm living a life of bliss
I just pray for this who you? pray to what?
Who may look like pray in your heart?
I keep in touch with my inner light
My inner light shines bright
All my intentions up front
Coming for respect i just thought of it
Now I popped up on the banner
My whole rap career is bananas
At 14 I predicted I would win
Predicted that I would get
Double-X L freshman
Predicted I would change the world
If I said I was an angel
Would you even believe it?
My knowledge oversees it
The blue print of my system Stay with them
You feel me? The light keep vision
Don't like to keep visions
I keep visions, see visions
Come from another place
See this, this is that real shit
I agree to that and I agree to this!
Let's spread love and see where we
And when we see that
What happens after that is
Something like magic! I believe in angels
I seen the angel
Yeah, I'm seeing angels in my mind!
