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.

A new neverland unfolding
Where we soar above the failure and tears
In life where everything is growing
It's a fascinating world here where we stand today knowing
It's a fresh beginning
Everything is bound to be upholding
And it's all for us
We can start new maybe a better one
She say she love me for maybe too long
But I think we're good together love
How wonderful that I'm beholding
A new neverland unfolding
Where we soar above the failure and tears
In life where everything is growing
It's a fascinating world here where we stand today knowing
It's a fresh beginning
Everything is bound to be upholding
It's a new world see it coming from afar
Flying on the clouds into unknown stars
Flying our way with Peter pan
Making our way to neverland
It's a new world
And it's all for us
We can start new maybe a better one
She say she love me for maybe too long
But I think we're good together love
It's a new world, a new world I see
A special world designed specifically for me
I hear your voice I can't get back
To the world I made counting racks so sorry but
I can't go back
It's a new world
And it's all for us
We can start new maybe a better one
She say she love me for maybe too long
But I think we're good together love
How wonderful that I'm beholding
A new neverland unfolding
Where we soar above the failure and tears
In life where everything is growing
It's a fascinating world here where we stand today knowing
It's a fresh beginning
Everything is bound to be upholding
It's a new world
And it's all for us
We can start new maybe a better one
Making our way to neverland
Flying our way with Peter pan
It's a new world see it coming from afar
Flying on the clouds into unknown stars
Flying our way with Peter pan

Yo my name is Icee-B
A special world designed just for you and not me
I hear your voice and I wanna go back
To the world I made counting stacks
But I know I won't so
Bye bye
