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 Got Bitches
Lil B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody put your hands in the air
Iβ²m rolling through these?
I got bitches on my dick
These niggas fuck with me
Because I have respect
And cause I Based freestyle
They gotta cut me a check
And I just want some sex
I say "that's alright!
Baby youβ²re OK! My name's Lil Boss
Man my name's BasedGod
All these bitches on my dick
And I just want you to see
[Hook]
I got bitches, yeah!
Everybody put your hands in the air
My nameβ²s Lil B. Lil B for Lil Boss
She let me suck her
Let me do some things
She let me see her naked
She let me fuck her face
She lets me do what I please
I said I got bad bitches
She said "oh thatβ²s not me"
I say "you're my bitch!"
I say "youβ²re my bop!"
I say "I fuck you all day
And I will not stop"
I said "I'm here for life
Bitch you gotta love me
My nameβ²s Lil Boss
But they call me Lil B!"
West Berkeley representative
Coming straight from Basednam
And I don't know what to do
They ask me if I share
Iβ²m asking "who are you?"
My dude is Hugh Hefner and he fucks with me
"Hugh Hefner man, I got more bitches than you"
He said "that's not right!"
He said "you are a liar!"
"Hugh Hefner, you see my bitches tonight?"
And I'm young BasedGod and I dare you to see
And I gotta question who got more bitches than me!
The song "I Got Bitches" by Lil B is a braggadocious anthem about the rapper's sexual prowess and the number of women he has attracted. Lil B declares that he has a lot of women, who are all interested in him because of his respect and his Based freestyle. He wants to make it clear that he is not looking for a serious relationship but is only interested in sex. Lil B addresses a specific girl in the lyrics, talking about the things she lets him do to her and how he controls her. He then switches gears and talks about being from West Berkeley and how he is a representative from there. He also takes a shot at the famous playboy Hugh Hefner, asking him if he has more bitches than Lil B.
The song is a prime example of Lil B's signature style, which is characterized by his confidence, humor, and unfiltered lyrics. Lil B has described himself as a "futuristic motivational speaker" and has often used his music to spread positivity and encourage his listeners to be themselves. However, "I Got Bitches" is an exception as Lil B takes on a more provocative and controversial theme.
