I have actual skeletons in my closet
I tried to explain Lil B as a new version of Ol' Dirty Bastard. He just speaks from the heart and has his own voice that people have latched on to. People know the real thing when they hear it and he is an original.

I think if he is independent and has Koch as a distributor (think I heard that) he makes a larger share per album sold than other people. I used to know stuff like this, so help me if I'm wrong. But he stands to make roughly $5-10 per record whereas the average artist makes $1 or less per record from a major. Cam'ron and Jim Jones talked about this back when him and 50 were beefing. A Koch artist might sell 50,000 records but make more than an artist selling a gold as long as they front their own money in production. I'm probably undershooting his numbers. Plus, just from listening to strippers and comedians, if he is touring 40 weeks/year, he is easily making 6 figures. Which is huge considering he is a solo act and is supporting himself plus travel arrangements with no huge stage show to support. I wish I had saved all the stuff I read back in 2009 about this.

fwiw he apparently hasn't made his first million yet cuz he's still rocking those same vans in his latest video so lil b ain't quite a lowkey millionaire or anything

edit: explanation cuz i realized that probably doesn't make any sense unless you're a huge weirdo lil b fan -- he has said (on his twitter, in interviews, in songs) many times that he's gonna wear that same pair of filthy falling apart vans until he makes his first million. then, and only then, he'll get new ones.

There is no explanation as why they are $40,000.

My favorite tracks on the new mixtape would have to be Im Down 4 Hire and Les Misrabel, both of which were produced by Lil B. The beats are really good and the delivery is very real and emotional, really good stuff. Also Surrender To Me is great.

I used to hate this guy and thought he was a joke. Turns out he just may be, and that's why I now love him. Like most, "I'm God" sold me but songs like "We Can Go Down" tells me he could market himself if he wanted, and "T-Shirt & Buddens" showed me he can flow when he gives a poo poo. I wish mainstream media would go back to supporting original, daring artists like this. TYBG for the Internet.

With that out of the way?...
How can I get White Flame and Rain In England?

I just can't get over the fact that he named it "Rain in England." That phrase (and image) conjures very intimate emotions for me and I think the basedgod shares them.

edit: I guess its probably not the same if you actually live in "england"

It's not actually that giant, but considering how larger-than-life the Based God is, a single-fold poster is probably all us mere mortals could handle

Honestly, having some based freestyles to play in my phonograph is its own reward, but I'm curious, how big is that poster? And is it the cover art, or...? I couldnt find details googling.

What do you think the best Lil B mixtape is?

For me, it's still I'm Thraxx. DOR is the hardest song ever, Go To Dumb is an amazing dada 80s throwback, Rawest Rapper Alive and I'm on my Grind make me so happy, Respect My Mind has the best beat

close runners up are Angels Exodus and White Flame

"Goddamn, I'm hot. Niggas, mad. Bitches, not"

That poo poo just gets me too hype.

I reaaaally like both the Bitch Mob tapes though. I can go dumb to them. Goldhouse had crazy rotation during January for me. I think we can all appreciate how well he can transition from dropping Bitch Mob Vol. 1 to Illusions of Grandeur, Goldhouse to White Flame to God's Father. What a range of sounds and attitudes. Thanks, Based God.

Ha I love the hook on that song. I mean how do you make a diss song, and then have the hook be "ya that bitch suck your dick nigga"


Or am I just completely missing something?
