That wasn't a criticism of Lil B though, it was a criticism of your devotion to him.



ODB and Odd Future are among my favorite artists. The Coen Bros. may be my favorite directors. The Sopranos is one of my favorite shows.

So, yeah.... I like morbid humor :thumb:

Me liking an artist who you perceive as being not okay is only a reflection on me?



okay, morbid wasn't the right word i don't think.

Lil B makes some music that is so incredibly stupid it works. Why does ohio have swag? Why ohio? Why is he just listing off towns in ohio?

This is random, lazy, ADD riddled internet lurker meme humour on a rap song. I struggle to explain it everytime.

Eh, I still fail to see the genius in it. Seems like he's just being off the wall for the sake of it, without really much rhyme or reason as to why he's doing it.

They're probably isn't, but he still did it, which is why its great.

Captain beefheart didn't have rhyme or reason, but people still praise trout mask replica 50 years later.



It's because lil b is hip hop which makes what he's doing "dumb" by default. This genre needs somebody to create some breathing room for weirdness, and thats why I'm "dickriding" all these "bad" artists, like OFWG lil b, kreayshawn or whatever. You don't have to be the best, just do something different PLZ!


so many quotes lol

I love hip hop, so I doubt the genre has anything to do with it.

Wasn't Captain Beefheart praised for his musical composition and not his lyrics? Plus, it's easier to appreciate him now that we've seen how he influenced music. Maybe Lil B will be the same?

Personally, I still don't like Trout Mask Replica much.

That wasn't directed at you personally.

If so you all have to remember that i liked lil b before it was cool.
ella guru is my jam, but yeah, couldn't really get into the whole album as much as i wanted to

Hah, sorry but that just about summed up everything I ever thought about Lil B fans.

The top 10 most beastly MC's are as follows (in no particular order):

Chino XL
Canibus
Immortal Technique
R.A. The Rugged Man
Lil' Wayne
Brother Ali
Eminem
Royce 'Da 5'9''
Ill Bill
Mos Def

I like these rappers for their ability to tell a story with their raps, as well as evoking specific emotions and imagery. When you close your eyes and listen to one of their tracks, you can see a movie in your head.

I fail to see how Lil B is that much different from... anybody. Prove me wrong, please. I want the same thing.

I also have trouble finding some intrinsic value in Lil' B's music. Just saying whatever pops into your head with neither rhyme nor reason isn't very hard, nor very fun to listen to.
