yeah.... i'm still waiting for that platinum flame too

wait no longer bro

o shit

its ok

Anyone care to give me a brief history of who what why and how: Lil B
He's got so much music out and seems to have a cult following but I'd never heard of him till Black Ken caught my attention round here

originally a member of the pack, wrote all the members verses i believe, decided to do his own weird outsider thing by essentially doing all of his verses off the top of his head, became a huge joke for most of his songs being so-bad-they're-good, gained a super passionate cult following, influenced cloud rap and much of the elements of new wave trap, also became one of the first artists to gain an audience completely from the internet

Cool. Checking Platinum Flame now and I'm actually kinda liking it. Feels homey

essential listens (seeing as his discog is nuts): 6 kiss, blue/red/evil red flame, god's father, 05 fuck em

his new stuff is actually quite a bit different, its got its own surrealist-oldschool thing goin on n im not sure how i feel about it lol. big fan of his other stuff tho

hard agree on those essentials, and ya his new stuff is weird but i think it's p decent lol

only one you missed that is essential for is Thugged Out Pissed Off, he actually raps over a Slowdive Pygmalion track on that one

Black Ken and Platinum Flame are great though. I gotta admit I do kinda find Lil B's production to be a little hit or miss at times, and I hope he does go back to letting other people contribute eventually

what song has the Pygmalion sample? I know he samples Catch the Breeze on I'm Gay

oh shit, it's Rule to Join! I love this mf

Rules to Join is classic, there are so many great cuts on that tape.

I actually remember finding the dude who produced Rules to Join and he made quite a few slowdive beats

I fell off after Green Flame, his output was honestly just too overwhelming. but I'm excited to go through what I've missed. I remember listening to some of Black Ken and this mf is doing salsa songs and shit now. I'm sure these aren't all of em, but this is an impressive list: https://www.whosampled.com/Lil-B/
