It’s quite possible that Lil B is the greatest troll in hip hop. Only instead of lurking in note boards and forums, the man has spammed YouTube with hundreds of clips of unfiltered freestyles. But most recently he has baited fans and critics alike by choosing to name his latest album I’m Gay (I’m Happy). If the polarised response is any indication he’s been successful, no one seems to understand quite how solemn he really is. Lil B has had everything from death threats, to accusations of single-handedly ruining a genre, ironic so-bad-its-good appreciation, serious critical reading of his serve , and even deathless love (judging by the numerous images of crying people captioned 'THANK YOU BASED GOD').
Im Queer (Im Happy) (sic) may seem prefer a bold declaration, but this is from a guy who has also previously proclaimed ‘I'm Miley Cyrus’, ‘I’m Ellen DeGenerss’, ‘I’m Bill Clinton’ to name a not many examples. You can’t really blame GLAAD for cautiously hoping 'Lil B’s album title is not just a gimmick, and is really a sincere seek to be an ally' - 'til recently it was probably fair to say that Lil B was more meme than human. But Im Queer (Im Happy)
Lil B - I'm Gay (I'm Happy)
Lil B recently dropped his most anticipated album, I’m Gay (I’m Happy), offering it for free and in his possess words, “making Hip Hop history.” Lil B is not gay, but it’d be a mistake to assume this is a gimmick. Lil B has been proselytizing as The Based God for years now, and if there’s one thing to take away from the thousands of songs he’s released for free, it’s that he doesn’t believe in taking words literally—he believes in the force of people to affect change through positivity.
Lil B, nee Brandon McCarthy, is more of a conceptual artist than an emcee, and for my funds, he’s the first artist since The Beatles to really change the way the music industry works (and extend a model for the future). If that seems enjoy high praise, it is—he might not be anywhere lock to The Beatles level musically, but he’s a revolutionary mind in the same mold as the quartet from Liverpool.
Lil B’s career has been built on interacting with every single one of his fans through Facebook, Twitter, and hundreds of MySpace pages (he claims to expend 18
At his Coachella performance, Lil B, spirited as usual, announced that, because "words don't mean shit," he is going to create a record called I'm Gay. Words, of course, mean lots of things, which B is not unaware of, and he quickly clarified that he loves women, but that gay also means happy. It also means homosexual, which, in rap, is the more prevalent definition (shout to Mister Cee). If he actually does release an album called I'm Gay, B will certainly be stirring the pot, but what might make it sizzle is to actually declare that he is gay. Or that he is bisexual. Or that he falls in somewhere on the LBGTQ scale. Barring that, he clearly is a spiritual graduate of the Gay-Straight Student Alliance, whatever side he sits on. Watch the video of B's announcement above. And, for those of you who know his words are ones to live by, last week Twitter blessedly verified Lil B's account with their turquoise seal of approval. Just in case you thought someone else was re-tweeting every @ he gets.
