but yeah, even though the lyrics aren't the best, Lil B's real strength on this lies in the meanings he tries to convey, like on "The Wilderness" where he just says

"I guess that we gifted
This is one life to live and I'ma live it.
Fuck the critics, I'm happy."

that shit just speaks volumes to me. it's really simple but the feeling behind it is where it really shines.
See that's the thing that gets me. I guess it's all up to how you interpret some of the things he says but even when I was reading Lupe's blog post I was like "f*ck outta here"

It always seems to me that people read so deeply into simple things that he says like there is some hidden meaning and he's some literary genius that is using satire when I don't get that. It's all just pretty random and I just can't get behind his flow. I have seen some of his parodies which were okay but come on. I feel like he gets way too much credit for doing simple things and he just feeds off of it.

He just loves the media, i wish he would work on putting out some decent music.
There are other rappers that do the same, speaking at college panels because they have something to say. He's big into being an activist and discussing other issues.
Yeah, he talked a big game on twitter before going on the spin zone but he couldn't handle Mr. O' Reilly

No, I won't for the reasons stated above. I don't get what kind of money gets thrown at him and the beats that he's able to buy. It will just be sprinkle coating over shit to me.

That's the same thing with Ace Hood and now that I've listened to Big Sean that's how his album is as well. Kanye gave him some dope ass beats and I'm just like why!?!?! what a waste.
