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 ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ying yang shawty with that cash, I'm the mayor
Shooting five hoes, got bitches like Cupid
Young Based God got rich going stupid
Hands on my nuts, give a fuck what you thinking
Bitches wanna rape me
Ask me what I'm drinking
Sitting in my scraper
I don't give a fuck, ho
I'm pretty and I'm rich
Two iced chains got Based God a threesome
Looking this good I got stopped by policemen
No homo, bitch, I got hoes like a Jersey
Swagging with a bad bitch,
look like James Worthy
Hoes suck my dick cause I'm wet and they thirsty
Chimmy chang chang, brang dang and I'm swerving
Ho suck my dick cause I look like John Stockton
Hit 'em with the chopper
Luke I am your father
Loud pack, loud pack, yo bitch on my dick
Diving head first and I'm tatted like a bitch
Ho suck my nuts cause I'm deep in the game
Waterfront boy drive your bitches insane
Ho suck my dick when my day gets boring
Live every day of my life like I'm touring
Young Based God I'm polo like Ralph Lauren
Every day a girl on my dick like I'm Jesus
Young Based Lord got the K when I'm sleeping
Young Based God they suck my dick for no reason
Young Based God I leave a young ho sleeping
Bitch tried to rob me
Leave her like a swisher
Dump out the guts smoke a bitch cause it's pimpin
Bitch it's Waterfront and I put that on my Daddy
Seventh street ho with big keys in the caddy
Bitch talk me game and I brought the ho dollars
Lil B, my ho, I pimp that bitch white collar
Ho suck my dick cause I look like her father
Chimmy chang chang I'm coming straight with that lava
The lyrics of Lil B’s song “Insane” are a representation of the rapper’s unapologetic and unconcerned attitude towards his wealth, fame, and sexual appetites. The opening lines suggest that he has a diverse array of women in his life, as “Damn Based God got hoes in different flavors”. He then boasts of his ability to attract women with his wealth and status, saying “Ying yang shawty with that cash, I'm the mayor”. The following lines describe Lil B’s sexual prowess and success with women, claiming that he has “got rich going stupid” and often has “bitches like Cupid”. He expresses his blasé attitude towards what others may think of him, including his sexual practices and general appearance, stating that he doesn’t care “what you thinking” and that he looks “pretty and rich”.
The rest of the song follows in the same tone, with Lil B describing his material wealth, sexual prowess, and his tendency to attract and manipulate women through his position of power. He belittles others and boasts of his success, claiming that he is so desirable to women that they will “rape” him and that he has “hoes like a Jersey”. His use of derogatory language and explicit descriptions of sex demonstrate a disregard for societal conventions and a desire to challenge traditional expectations of masculinity in hip-hop. Overall, the song is a representation of Lil B’s unashamed and provocative persona, and his willingness to push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in rap music.

"Hit em with the chopper, Luke I am your father" He is saying after you are shot with the assault rifle, you'll be, in fact, "sonned" thus the Darth Vader reference. Brilliant.
