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.

Dear Lil B,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the profound impact you've had on my life. It's not often that one gets the opportunity to convey the immense gratitude they feel towards someone who has played a pivotal role in saving them from the depths of despair.
Your music has been a source of solace and strength for me during the darkest moments of my life. In times when I felt isolated and overwhelmed, your words became a beacon of light, guiding me through the storm. Your authenticity, vulnerability, and unapologetic approach to self-expression resonated with me on a level I never thought possible.
There were moments when I contemplated ending my own life, feeling like there was no way out of the darkness. It was during these times that your music served as a lifeline, offering a sense of understanding and companionship when I needed it the most. Your ability to address mental health, struggles, and the complexities of life with such raw honesty provided me with a sense of connection and hope.
I want you to know that your artistry has been a constant source of inspiration for me to keep pushing forward, to find strength in vulnerability, and to embrace the journey of self-discovery. Your courage to be yourself and speak your truth has empowered me to confront my own challenges head-on.
Thank you, Lil B, for being the voice that pulled me back from the brink, for being the artist whose work reminded me that I am not alone in my struggles. Your impact on my life is immeasurable, and I will forever be grateful for the positive influence you've had on my journey.
Wishing you continued success in your artistic endeavors and in life. May you find as much joy and fulfillment in your path as you've brought into the lives of others.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Tripp Coble
