How the Fuck do people actually like lil B? Am I missing something entirely? He sounds like a fucking joke. What am I missing? If there's anyone who actually listens to him, please explain the appeal.

>How the Fuck do people actually like lil B?
I'm fairly convinced the hype around him is a giant joke I'm not in on. And if it's not irony, then his fanbase is one of the worst in modern hip hop.
Brody Martinez
is lil b still "big"? he basically revolutionized rap but i didnt know people will still followed him
Joseph Bennett
>doesn't rap on beat
>sounds like shit
>instrumentals sound like they were made on Mario paint
People legitimately like him. So what the Fuck am I missing
Angel Adams
You have to have good taste to enjoy lil b, frankly.
Samuel Powell
They are fucking with you. He's the Jake Paul of rap music.
Julian Brooks
Adam Allen
okay I'll do my best to explain it.
He's fucking with people like you. People that take music and especially hip hop too seriously. He uses a stream of consciousness technique for his "based freestyles", where he just records whatever comes out of his mouth after he comes up with a hook. His music is a conduit for his philosophy, which is basically new agey hippy dip for the modern age. He promotes positivity, self love, and harmony with nature. His persona is just as important as his music.
Long story short he's just having fun. His fans have fun listening to him. And people that dislike him gain nothing.
he still has his fans on twitter and he's really active there
Logan Mitchell
maybe you just haven't heard the good stuff
he doesn't only make cookin tracks
I mostly like his emotional stuff. Even tho the style is tongue you can hear form his voice that its really comin from the heart (he has really perfected his delivery) and he manages to be really touching even tho some of the lines are goofy as fuck...
I mean I really cry to this shit

It's definitely partly because of his status as an icon but there really isn't any alternative to Lil B as an artist that I could listen to and feel the same way I do when listening to Lil b.
Joseph Wilson
thanks
Jordan Taylor
Muh memes. That's why.
Easton Morris
I am pretty sure the majority of his music is tongue in cheek. People think it's funny but they overplay the joke.
Ryan Watson
this is true but no way is it just about havin fun
shits truly emotional
Kevin Fisher
Great deconstruction of hip hop. Absurd lyrics and music videos that go so well together
Robert Martin
So essentially it's purposely bad because that was the intention?
Mason Foster
It's beyond good/bad dichotmy. I look at it like a great form of expresion and vision since it really influenced the hip hop scene.
Asher Stewart
oh not at all, I definitely didn't mean to imply that. But those are both sides to Lil B. He's like a hindu god - multiple faces and sounds for different aspects of his personality.
no. it's purposefully based
Owen Myers
I'd say overall he's just a very likable figure. His twitter got him a lot of fans.
Xavier Sanders
black ken is legitimately pretty good
Adam Roberts
It's not purposefully bad. It's purposefully strange and odd because it's supposed to be a deconstruction of hip-hop. Of course, the longer the Lil B project has gone on, the more surreal and weird it gets. Early stuff is him just taking stupid slang, tinny repetitive beats and weird boasts to the Nth degree. Last couple of years he's kinda lost his mind. He's just a really interesting figure and some of his songs are hilarious. Plus he's been a really big unseen influence on the direction of hip-hop.
