VERY EPIC

wow not listened to this guy much but that beat was sweet

Beat was tight, flow was pretty good too, but that video sucked. I could have recorded a better video with no video budget

BASED GOD

May the swag be with you

nice track, beat is fuckin cool and the flow is decent too. never really got into this guy though..

this is so posive im ready to change my life
TYBG

Twice the arrogance of Kanye, half the talent.

Still, this is far better then anything else I've heard from him.

Still blows

lol retards

BASEDGOD NIGGA

As much as I support the Based God, this is not news. Posting an article about Lil B released a new video is like posting an article about Lil B using the toilet.

ooh a coheed name and a guitar avatar HOW ORIGINAL


NIGGA YOU AINT BASED

In DMX's words: "Lil'B?....Lil' Bitch???!!!"

ph@

lil b is one of my favorite rappers and i agree with the guy above

lil b releases new songs and mixtapes on like a weekly basis. there's really no reason to notify sputnik.

white flame will be legendary

1

AOTY

music machine

mediocre machine

SWAG machine.

SMH @ people who can't comprehend how abstract BasedGod can get and think he's anything less than amazing.

That didn't even make sense or was humorous/related to the situation besides you relating rapping with a competition for the disabled. Even if you were saying Lil Boss was disabled it was still a semi-non sequitur.

SWAG!

White Flame is the fifth Flame, not the fourth.

It depends on if you count his Red Flame (Evil Edition) and Devil Music Edition.

^^ yeah that's what I thought

have you guys heard anything else from White? it sounds like it'll be pretty sweet

Well the songs so far confirmed to be on White Flame that are on Youtube are
Tiny Pants Bitch
I'm Down 4 Hire
Neva Switch
and last night he just released Please Respect the Bitch

and Keep My Eyes Open 2 MIGHT be on it. White Flame should be out any day now.

Tiny Pants Bitch was hilarious

Idk, but this sing is fucking awesome.

Yeah this song is kind of going a lot back to his more I'm Thraxx lyrical-styled days with the East Coast influence that Devil Music has. Can't WAIIIIIT for White Flame.

I'll take Lil' B up to a full tank of propane.

The Game sucks.

Lil B >>>>>>>>>>>> some trife ass nigga who starts beefs to get attention then acts like he's some oldass sage of the genre and a total veteran, nahmean? #real talk #Swag Gang #snitches die #Free Lil Boosie

Whilst I'm not defending The Game, Lil B is a retarded little moron, if I wanted to listen to some drowsy lethargic mumbling I'd give my grandfather some weed.

DOOM has a drowsy flow, so I guess he's a retarded little moron.

Yeah whoever, it's a terrible rapping style, it's like they've sedated, not that Lil B' is renowned for intelligence.

That's dumb. A lot of the point of his broken-up flow and lazy cadence is him breaking hip-hop boundaries and how experimental he's being in the genre. ur 2 dumb 4 Lil Beezy

That's kind of profound. Too abstract for himself to get.

i mean like, I'm sure he knows how off-beat he is. people who misunderstand Lil B are kind of retarded.

You're trolling right?
Unless he's experimenting in "How to be shite at rap and sound like a incoherent pothead." then he's not breaking any boundaries, merely thudding his thick skull against them.

On the other hand. He's truly a lyricist to match the greats though: "Swagged up nigga and I came fuckin bitches, Young Based God fucked yo bitch cause it's nothin',Young Based God nigga swag to the maximum". One word: Shakespearean.

lol shut up

"thudding his head against them" =/= ignoring them

"Swagged up nigga and I came fuckin bitches, Young Based God fucked yo bitch cause it's nothin',Young
Based God nigga swag to the maximum"
lol dude his cooking songs are literally meant for just fun and hilarious quotability. You don't know
what you're talking about and it's ridiculous that you think you do.

people not understanding that lil b is completely intentional

a modern mark twain imo

People who cite "he raps behind the beat" as the reason Lil B sucks really piss me off

Yeah. It's just ridiculous. It's like people complaining that Captain Beefheart is too grating or it doesn't make sense. It's just like GODDAMN YOU JUST DON'T GET IT.

theres a good case for lil b sucking i think. cokemachineglow's review of "mf based" and "rain in england" does a pretty good job. i like him nonetheless because he's funny and he has good beats and i enjoy his weirdness but

although i never really thought "you just don't get it" is really reasonable as a rebuttal. captain beefheart set out to make a bad album ( = "an album that sounds bad") and made one? Trout Mask Replica is terrible

idk people who lambast this guy for his flow then fellate MF Doom confuse me

@robertsona: Lil B isn't trying to suck, tho. He's not like, "Aha this is so bad let me put this out"

and "you just don't get it" by itself is terrible as a rebuttal, but when explained why (which it has in a minor sense earlier in the thread, though I'd really need an essay to really discuss Lil B)

and that second chunk of text in your post confuses me.

i guess my point w/ captain beefheart is that a lot of people seem to defend him based on the fact that his album is supposed to be "bad" (alternately: janky, "weird," whatever you choose to describe it), as if his intent in making the album sound all off-kilter is all you need to defend it. when really it just sounds like shit, like a mediocre blues rock album made worse by an insistence on not playing "on the beat" or whatever

w/r/t Lil B, i agree with you, sometimes? i love 6 kiss, im gay, etc. but to me the value of songs like "bitch mob anthem" "ellen degeneres" et al. seems definitely to be a self-conscious humor predicated upon the fact that it's some guy slinging nonsensical rhymes with a flow that frequently flies off-beat. i mean, i'm not really sure how someone could throw that stuff on and be like "yeah, this is good". maybe if the beats were good...lil b's constructed online persona (which is hilarious! i love his tweets and stuff, seriously no qualms here) as a weirdo who signs all his posts with his own name and says stuff like "RETWEET THIS IF U LOVE THE EARTH" or whatever, to me, solidifies the idea that he's an artist whose--great songs notwithstanding, and he has a lot of em--supreme appeal is that you can laugh at him. idk

i like lil b and am generally "with you guys" but i do sort of have a problem with the fact that haters, lame as they may be, can't bring up the fact that lil b is above all sort of a shitty rapper (which he is, i really do think. people are always like "but listen to Motivation!! or whatever" and while i appreciate that those songs are serious and introspective and whatever, i don't think his honesty necessarily means he's a talented rapper) without getting shut down with "YOU JUST DONT GET IT"

Well haha, I mean there's obviously elements humor in a lot of his songs. I mean in one of his music videos he wears grandma earrings and in 2010 he made a tweet about fucking Kanye up the ass if he didn't contact Lil B back about a collab. He can be hilarious, but the humor isn't his main draw I suppose, it's just an element in one of his songs (think Zappa I guess). And a lot of his cooking songs or more #Based freestyles have some hilarious quotables, just see one of his latest in Tiny Pants Bitch, and Hipster Girls is just one of the best songs in his discography.

But regardless in a grand majority of his songs it's about the avant-garde nature and overwhelming positivity that comes with the flow-of-consciousness, weird out-there sometimes lyrics.

both of the things you said about lil b that you like are things i like too, but i also don't think they are positive qualities in and of themselves, i guess? like of course i like rap that travels new frontiers and is experimental, but i don't think that that quality is innately good--some "experimental" or "weird" shit is just bad, especially so when it seems like the "weirdness" within is aggressively calculated toward a certain audience that eats that shit up; i'm sure the blogs went crazy when they heard "lil b released an ambient rap album! wacky"

the positivity is good of course and i like lil b but once again sometimes his skill as a rapper doesn't back up his "good intentions". a positive message is great; a positive message sold convincingly and without gimmicks would be even better. but most rappers who try that sort of thing go down the blog-rap gutter either way (shouts out to shad)

and Captain Beefheart isn't good because it's "weird" or "ugly-sounding", it's about how amazingly well-composed it is and the technicality while going outside of some boundaries. Not technicality in the WEEDLYWEEDLYWEEDLY sense but in the sense of how jazz is technical. Along with some of the out-there weirdness of the lyrics (DACHAU BLUUUES, THOSE POOR JEWWWS)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q41IFhDn-Zg
Like, imagine this being played on a piano.

i dont really get how trout mask replica is "well-composed" but that's probably an impasse for us, although--here we go again--i don't really care about perceived "technicality" as a quality in and of itself in music if it sounds like shit to my ears

"the positivity is good of course and i like lil b but once again sometimes his skill as a rapper doesn't back up his "good intentions". a positive message is great; a positive message sold convincingly and without gimmicks would be even better. but most rappers who try that sort of thing go down the blog-rap gutter either way (shouts out to shad)"

I feel you on some of that, but a lot of his positivity doesn't have anything to do with his skill or even the "abstract nature" of a lot of his rapping, it's how completely genuine he is and how amazingly simple or off-the-top his lyrics are. I mean...do you think songs like Perfect Skies or Chuch by Main Attrakionz would be anywhere near as appealing if the rappers were these ridiculously technical rappers, busting out complex rhyme schemes and wordplay every chance they got? Just like how a lot of great songs with auto-tune would be TERRIBLE or just plain bland if they were sung by a technically good singer.

I understand, tho. About Captain Beefheart and why you don't care for him.

i guess it's just that, when so much of lil b seems to me obviously a joke, it's hard to discern what's not, and that makes me eternally suspicious. e.g.: "i got aids". lil b's attempt to sell that as another "positive" song whose ultimate message is "go get tested" seems to be pretty disingenuous to me, as i'm almost positive--and i don't really see how anyone could see it otherwise--that the actual purpose of the song is for people to be like "haha that wacky lil b and his songs about AIDS" / twitter meme fodder, etc.

i agree that a lack of total technical skill can actually make a song feel more direct--although some of lil b's songs take that a little too far--but it's hard for me to compare Main Attrakionz and Lil B simply because one of them -does- feel genuine and un-gimmicked and lil b sometimes feels, you know, not.

I Got Aids was hilarious. I just love his take on the Tupac flow. The beat was great, though. I feel there was some genuineness in there, though. BasedGod Velli was an amazing mixtape, though. I mean even when there is some gimmickiness in his music (like a number of his cooking songs) they're still amazingly fun regardless of the humorous elements.

based god is one of the best things to ever happen to music

thank you based god

The only reason I can see for his popularity is that he's liked ironically then, kinda like how hipsters like Kreayshawn. You guys admit yourself that he's not talented, and to me, he seems genuinely fucking stupid.

andcas we all know youre inable to think or discuss music in terms of anything more complex than "THIS GUYS IS POPULAr....Fucken HATE EM...mainstream TRASH youre all SHEEP" but please step out

"The only reason I can see for his popularity is that he's liked ironically then, kinda like how hipsters like Kreayshawn. You guys admit yourself that he's not talented, and to me, he seems genuinely fucking stupid. "

No one said that he's not talented, he's extremely talented at what he does. Also, I hear people say "Awh man I could do that, anyone could." Buuuut they don't, and they can't. And I enjoy Kreayshawn because she's just fun. I love blasting her in a car with friends or at a party or shit.

If you REALLY need an example of how hard he can go if he wanted easily by CONVENTIONAL hip-hop standards, check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF9pSIxmE-g

One of the many examples.

sorry but uh....that was pretty bad

listen andcas i know youre angry about something about mainstream artists being popular or w/e but some of us are actually trying to discuss music using actual logic and stuff and are not just slinging around insults so could u just...

"sorry but uh....that was pretty bad"

By conventional standards it was pretty good. There were harder rhyme schemes, good flow, etc.
but then another song like that is his dopeass diss song against T-Shirt and Buddens
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXucM9y0fjI

and I'm Thraxx is full of wordplay and harder songs. It's proto-Based

and he shows the world how Joe Budden jacks off with his ass out listening to Mood Muzik

This guy is so bad

shuttup you like baby hip-hop this is real man shit. grow a beard and some chest hair before listening to this.

I have a beard and chest hair and this shit is whack b

nah i wouldnt say that about trebor
