i'm pretty sure there's gay dudes in rap, just that the hyper-masculinity that is part of the culture keeps people from fully being out like that. alot of the themes that have been, and are still a part of the music(somewhat at least) was that you've gotta be hard and not show any signs of femininity, otherwise you'd be targeted or ridiculed for stuff like that. seeing as this music came from the poorer and more troubled inner cities, you've gotta have a thick skin to live in some of the areas, and it transfers over to the music.

but yeah, i don't think he's gay. he's just weird, haha.

Okay, they're definetly gay dudes, drake, big sean, wiz, bob, lupe fiasco, etc

but no openly gay one

salute to the bitch!


just kidding about all those rappers being gay, but not really

lol

Wiz is deep inside of Kanye's ex.

I have no clue about the others though.


There are no openly gay rappers because the black community as a whole is pretty homophobic and they would lose sales for it.

Lil B is gay and he named his album that probably to test out the theory and see how many sales an openly gay rapper can get.

I don't know if he's actually gay. He'll literally just do anything for publicity, and saying your gay is really the only thing you can say in hip hop for shock value these days.

Nobody is paying attention to all the girls mouth and asses he wants to ****, becuase thats more traditionalhip hop lol

Yet, he still has video hos in his videos

Whats your point?

my point is that you said traditional hip hop like he's so super unique when he does some of the same things

No, i was saying that over the time, he's mentioned plenty about ****ing girls in the mouth and ass and nobody gave a ****. He says "im gay" and the rap community blows up.

I'm saying every rapper raps about ****ing girls in the mouth,so lil b had to differentiate himself, again.

oh okay, I got you.

People are trying to compare him using I'm gay as a title to Nas trying to get Nigger as an album title.

That never actually happened right?

I don't know if a word, (that also means "happy") which just is a general definition for a sexual orientation really compares to ******, maybe if it was called "***got" or something.

No, he had to name it Untitled.

I am not the one trying to compare the two. This stupid article was

Lil B Announces His New Album Will Be Titled "I'm Gay" | Get The Latest Hip Hop News, Rap News & Hip Hop Album Sales | HipHop DX

Lil B's Death Threats

been bumpin this a lot lately:pimp:

MR.DUBSACK GAAAWWWDDD!

Lil B "The BasedGod" - Bitch Mob Respect Da Bitch Vol.1 Hosted by "The BasedGod" // Free Mixtape @ DatPiff.com

He's finally released Bitch Mob

The comments on the article DJ posted are the most depressing thing ever seriously.

Do you have to have an account to download from this site?

You do on some, but this is a sponsored download so you dont even need to be logged in to download it.

So no, in short.

I'd just like to point out how great the cover art is for this.

Its a Lil B version of an old Death Row album isnt it..?

Yeah I believe so.
He did something similar when making fun of the "hot boyz"



This is actually pretty close to how juvenile used to rap.

Lil B has like 200 personalities..

Based God murders this song. For real.

we already know based god murders every track but thanks anyway :)

anybody else waiting for the day when Lil B finally says he only wants to be referred to here on out as Based God?

I'd say it's similar to to "jehovah", the god in Christianity. He has a name, but it'd would be sacrilegious to refer to him to anything other then god or almighty. Lil B -excuse me-Based God,is in the same boat.
:bowdown:

But he snaps so hard on that song, it's crazy. When i heard that song, it completely changed the way I viewed lil b. Also, i can't believe you didn't post this song yet.

This that real **** motha****ers.

Sadly I have given up on the idea that the MB community will ever be blessed enough to really understand and appreciate allmighty based god. :(

To quote Based God himself

"if you aint a robber you aint goin feel this"

damn, good ass sh*t right here

I disagree with this. While he's not my favorite Killer Bee, his flow was tight with the way he sang like the liquor store frequenter, it was just too perfect. His lyrics are pretty good sometimes too. Mostly his flow/delivery made him just sound so smooth, and funny. This is enough to constitute him a good rapper to me. Plus, i think this "verse" completely steals Ghostface's "9 milli Bros." :
I got an IOU on Lil B discussion, dawg.

so real. Gave me goosebumps. Lil B a master at piano?
>make sure to watch after 2:15<


I think Lil B is the Jean-Michel Basquiat of hip hop.



Also everyone should listen to the interview cnn did
Rapper Lil B on 'I'm Gay': 'We're all one people' - CNN.com

I think the misconception that Lil B is dumb will become way less common pretty soon.

New album is out, didn't expect it so soon

Lil B Releases 'I'm Gay' Album Without Warning, Lupe Fiasco Says Title Is 'Genius' - The Juice | Billboard.com

Omfg yes

listening to it now, stuff's legit

Where'd you get it? I assume you didnt actually pay for it on itunes

I didn't read that link earlier but I saw Lupe's name and I read this post on his website earlier about why he likes Lil B

Why I Like Lil B: A Review - Blog Detail - LupeFiasco.com

Why do people give a **** what lupe fiasco thinks? Omg lupe said this about obama. He hasn't cemented himself as a prolific rapper yet, it would be different if it was like Chuck D.

yo check your PM in like 2 mins

that i actually did, downloaded ITunes to get it too, and it was worth it. :)

The album is good, but i still have mixed feelings about it.

Its really cohesive, solid unified sound. But being random and contradictory was something i liked about lil b. The production is really good too-not relying on a glossy pop synth sound which have resulted in B's hits (ellen degeres, wonton soup, i cook) in favor of beats more in line with illusions of grandeur but more soulful, and less indie.

Lil B proves himself as being poignant, with a lot to say, especially on "open thunder eternal slumber", however because of this he has toned himself way down. His humour isn't as obnoxious (you won't here the word swag) and he no longer is touting himself as the "pretty bitch." His off-beat humor and rampant bastardization of rap cliche's (" ****ing ho's face because i have a big chain") is, for the most part, missing.

This is probably a smart move however, distancing himself from Odd Future and Kreayshawn. He also sincerely wants to be a role model it sounds like, strangely enough. It's a refreshing change to hear that considering most rappers get pissed off at the notion.

The album is good, and i think will sway previous haters. However it isn't as fun and wild as i had come to expect, especially following bitch mob.

@
Antonio
Does the itunes version list the producers for this?

I'd never take you for the type to only expect seniority to matter

It has nothing to do with seniority.

sadly it doesn't, and yeah, i basically feel the same way. still, there were definitely some parts that were downright beautiful.
