On first listen, it's no Red Flame but some of these tracks are very hot and emotional. My favorite so far is probably Can I Live 4 Real or Herd Her Cry.

Don't like too many of the sillier tracks on this mixtape though. They aren't quite on Red or Blue Flame level.

To me, "The Wilderness" is Lil B's greatest song.

My other I'm Gay favorites are "Game" and "I Seen That Light"

Used to? A lot of those are very recent, and he's still posting the same poo poo.

He recently started bringing back that really random based spam style.

for a long while though, it was always just blanket "be positive be based" style messages all the time.

He appears to mock Soulja Boy through imitating Soulja Boy's monotone, stilted flow and juvenile lyrics. The fact the lyrics are self aware and interspersed with bizarre references or humorous phrases doesn't make it any more appealing to me on anything other than an intellectual level. I still have difficulty listening to it because I don't enjoy it musically. I love the persona and some of the lines, but was wondering if there was some part of the appeal I just didn't "get."

I hadn't heard these before. These are in what I assume is his own voice and an interesting stream of consciousness style. I still feel like they're in character, but they're something original. Though I still don't like his flow on I Hate Myself, but it's at least a different kind of difficult than Soulja Boy's style.

I first started out liking Lil B in that ironic way I think you are talking about...but then something just clicked and I am so sincerely serious about my fandom. He's helped me to realize that talent is irrelevant in the context of art and expression. You should know that his whole ouevre isn't ironic and farcical. He has dozens of very real and heartfelt tracks. That, and he is always putting out tons of music and after so long it almost feels like I know the guy. He can make me laugh, or if I want he can also have me vibing and feeling better about my own life when I hear his more reflective track, even when he goes off rhythm or flubs a line or says something that makes zero sense. It's straight from the heart.

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

Blue Flame is my favorite. It's the only mixtape I've heard where the drops actually made it better.

"drat Son, Where'd you find this?"

I love Based Bible. with the drops and the weird muffled quality of Lil B's voice it's really hypnotizing.

Okay, this is seriously one of the most solid mixtapes ever. This and I'm Gay are going to be my go-to things to show my friends who think Lil B is just a joke rapper

still though, I Own Swag is still one of the best tracks on there. He rides that beat so perfectly in so many different ways it's awesome.

Lil B now has a "Classical" album...

I think this might be the first one I skip...

so these are all songs he wrote? I'm kind of impressed, from what little I hear, to be honest. Not enough to buy it though.

I love Blue/Red equally. I think White is better than both. I think Black Flame is pretty terrible.

I generally don't really like the bitch mob no-effort gimmick side of Lil B too much anymore. fake Lil B fans only listen to that poo poo.

My favorite Lil B tapes are

I'm Thraxx
Angel's Exodus
God's Father
White Flame
Basedgod Veli
Trapped in Basedworld

I'm Thraxx is the hardest best poo poo ever. the section of the album, from Victory 2010 to My Last Call is absolutely perfect.

Green Flame is good. It starts out a little weak but the middle is really good, in my opinion.

I agree. the first four or five tracks are pretty lame but it picks up really well after that. my favorite is either Green Flame or My Arms are the Brooklyn Bridge

I agree mostly. 2012 has been insane for Lil B in the best way.

I hated #1 Bitch and half of Green Flame though. I'm kinda sick of the bitch mob stuff so I'm really happy with stuff like Lost in Basedworld and Rich After Taxes

California Boy just dropped, and I don't think there are words in existence in the english language to describe it.

It's not even that strange. It's pretty pleasant actually.

What are the funniest Lil B tracks? Those are really the best works by him.

This is a personal favorite of mine:

while I disagree his humorous tracks are his best, I appreciate them a lot as well. Basedgod 50 from Silent President always makes me laugh, particularly the adlibs

I'm actually a bit impressed with those videos, I'm God at least. so glad he isnt rapping over his recorded raps like some artists do. a hype man could help i guess, but it would just seem weird for lil B
