he was the original meme though. He was first. First always gets ridiculed.
Too bad he was actually good too though, where meme rappers now don't have any good content period. They're just the meme only
Jack Robinson
God's Father mixtape is unironically amazing
Elijah Howard
my *insert appropriate racial slur*
Chase Lee
Its called the Soulja Boi effect.
Alexander Barnes
mein nibba.
Elijah Hall
I always lowkey liked Crank Dat
Hunter Torres
Lil B actually had a personality. Those who followed however...
Jaxson Lopez
This track right here is basically an XXXTentacion song, and it was from 2009!

Gavin Campbell
and what the fuck is this! Who comes up with this stuff? Song and video

Christian Roberts
Lil B will be considered a legend in the future
Jose Thompson
too good to even bare comparison to xxxtentpoles
other than the somewhat distorted bass, this shit is way out of his league
Joshua Cooper
Lil B was genuine about it, because he was genuinely a fucking weird dude. The guy was calling himself a fag and a lesbian, he's wearing everything was tiny pink shirts to church hats and grandma earings, naming his album "I'm Gay", and asking for pics on girls' feet on Twitter under the assumption that it's "promoting positivity" and in accordance with the cryptic (pseudo?)philosophy he claims to be the sole person knowledgeable about. But he'll still drop lines like "Shout-out to the WNBA, you got some fine ass girls I wanna fuck in the mouth." And you'll hear a song like D.O.R or Age of Information and find out he can be witty with wordplay and speak on important topics too if he wants.
These new meme rappers are just in it for the irony and fun, they're not nearly weird enough to have any real impact.
Benjamin Scott
>asking for pics on girls' feet on Twitter
he is a hero just for that
Christopher Phillips
I concur, good sir.
Adrian Young
Lil B is truly a once in a lifetime phenomenon. I think he'll be studied in years to come.
Gabriel Harris
Reminder that this song came out in 2010 and is still relevant 7 years later: youtube.com
Zachary Cruz

Ryan Thompson
what the hell has he been up to recently? he used to drop a mixtape every week it seems and then just died off
Jaxson Williams
His new mixtape is called the black ken mixtape and he said its like 90% done I think
Noah Williams
Lil B is the Velvet Underground of Hip Hop.
Gavin Butler
This actually makes more the sense the more you think about it.
Oliver Johnson

Alexander Cooper

Jacob Butler
based af
Oliver Martin
all the meme ones
Levi Cox
you could argue asap rocky was the first big rapper to be influenced by him. but i'd say it started with bones. copying his massive quantity over quality way of releases.
Jacob Ortiz
>massive quantity over quality
Lil B was one of the first to take full advantage of the internet. It doesn't matter if you drop 90% shitters, as long as people have access to your 10% great tracks, you're a great musician.
Ethan Watson
we could also argue viper is proto lil b. but since we didn't discover him till later who knows
Jeremiah Russell
>in the future
he's already considered a legend by everybody
Carson Anderson
What is he doing now?
Josiah Evans
What happened to Lil B's rock album?
youtube.com
Grayson Johnson
well I mean viper is like 99.9% shitters and his 0.01% couldn't even form a single album. At least Lil B has a good amount of bangers.
Cooper Peterson
he realized rock was dead
Grayson Perry
Not a hip-hop fag, so I have no idea about any of this.
Was he a meme on purpose, or he did his best and people made him a meme by listening to him ironically?
Can someone give me a summary about him?
Just a basic gestalt. A quick rundown so to speak.
Tyler Brown
>Was he a meme on purpose
Yes. But he made his songs entertaining enough that they're actually fun to listen to, and h'd drop legit good songs every now and then. He managed to fully use the internet to his advantage and market himself very well.
Jaxon Howard
So he was doing some kind of rap comedy?
Gabriel Reed
youtube.com
This was the song that put him on the map, it's comedy
Christian Taylor
I'm having a hard time seeing how this is comedy when to me it looks/sounds so similar to what so many rappers do unironically.
What makes it comedy exactly?
Kevin Reyes
back in 2010 this was seen as a joke song. proves Lil B changed the game
Adam Howard
For the worse it seems to me.
Is it generally regarded as a good thing?
Isaiah Williams
no hes was in sincere in all of his songs. i don't think you understand what based means
Logan Thompson
bull shit give me it
Brandon Cox
daily reminder that soulja boy was there first and helped put lil b on the map
Christopher Gomez
THIS
RIGHT HERE
IS MY
SWAG
Dylan Diaz
The difference is that Soulja Boy was trying to be genuine
Lil B was genuine, but he also caught on to his own meme and capitalized on it
James Watson
>He managed to fully use the internet to his advantage and market himself very well.
Definitely, you can read 'based' on all sort of internet communities
Juan Gonzalez
Lifting curses
Kevin Smith
He was sincere in the sense that he is genuinely just a weird guy, but stuff more traditional releases like I'm Gay and Angel's Exodus indicates to me that he definitely knew his songs like Wonton Soup, Ellen Degeneres, I Cook, and so on were more absurd.
Matthew Evans
>its another "lil b was ahead of the game" thread
thanks captain obvious
Blake Phillips
Nah, that would be Kool Keith
Jose Cooper
How the hell is he following over a million people on twitter
Joshua Cox
and before finding lil b soulja boy was making poorly done pop rap. soulja boys whole weird internet experimental phase from like 2010-2014ish is because of lil b
Isaac Perez
three 6 mafia honestly
Ayden Wilson
remember when adoseofbuckley was good
Dominic Morris
I don't know who that is, I just used to make that joke with my cousins :c
Jose Adams
What does he do nowadays? mid teens me found his worst songs of 2010 video funny but in hindsight that shit was spergy to the core
Evan Butler
I heard Lil B's whole thing was that he was spreading positivity, but that was hard to believe for me since the first track I heard from him was "Fuck KD"
Aiden Mitchell
I'm God is the most influential hip hop song of the current decade
Adrian Richardson
this is true
Evan Reyes
I remember subbing to him for his worst songs videos that I thought were entertaining, and coming back I find that he really just shits on pop song lyrics.
Cameron Brooks
Fuck KD is a legitimately great track.
Andrew Sanders
hardest song he's made:
youtube.com
Daniel Thompson
The GOAT Lil B song.
Ayden Watson
>shout out to the WNBA
>you got some fine ass girls I want to fuck in the mouth
