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 ↴
Back to the '08 style, west Coast style
It's your boy Lil B, you feel me? Holla at me
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Shouts out to Too $hort
(Young bitch, Bout my dollaz, young bitch)
Yeah
I drop that Oscar Mayer
And twenty got this twenty to get
A bag of this weed
Bitch you ain't know I'm cellular
With a blunt in my mouth
Checking my bitch brain in her eye
What is you lying about?
From the west, Waterfront
But I fucks with the south
Berkeley boys up in this bitch
I'm finna put my dick in her mouth
Asking bout, options go, materialistic bitch
Trick this smile world
Take what you want I'mma deal with that shit
Deal with that D up on that scissor
Having them hoes calling me a wizard
Breaking that shit on down, all the way down
You must have some nizzerve
Stupid Bitch, playing with the super fly
Super fly, online all the time
With my bruh riding chocolate thangs
And I got a bad steller let her hair swang
Get her ho get up off my collar
Give a fuck if you a model
Young bitch I'm bout my dollaz
TELL A BITCH I'm BOUT MY DOLLAZ
Berkeley, Berkeley, Waterfront
Ask that bitch she was in the back seat
Driving up on this stick
B-A-N-G-K-A-D-A-N-G on that double-O G style
8 Mile, looking for that green mile
Come take your face out your ass for a minute
Come check me out man cuz
I'm really really spitting
This is knowledge for your
Pockets young bitch
I'm saving every penny cuz I gotta make sense
Paper, paper, is all I'm after
Having these hoes call me a pastor
Touched her forehead, amen
I saved that bitch like pastor
Man I need a forklift when it's time to work
Tell my bitch, man it's time to work
Tell this money that it's time to work
I done checked in, and now I'm late for work
And I ain't trippin if you holla
I'm looking at your wallet
Young bitch I'm bout my dollaz
Thankyoubasedgod

Lil B has more flows than almost any other rapper... This will probably be the first and last time we hear Lil B rap like this.
