lil b (the based god)

hits close to home

it is the best song

I'm making a mix for my lil sister (working title: 'Rapreligion & Hip-Hop Heresies'), mostly classic stuff from "before her time", but putting "Age of Information" on there too to try and make a B convert of her (after her response to "Pretty Bitch"/"Wonton Soup"/etc was basically, "This guy is the worst rapper ever")

xxp a couple of weeks ago i said that to a friend expecting him to clown me but he felt the same way

i was about thiiiiiiis close to making age of information one of top ten singles

u shld have imo

awesome verse:

chillaxation,
he who walks his own path of greatness
will never be ancient.
this 'bout survival,
the jungle is humble, in a field full of rivals,
you gotta make 'em bleed, and I ain't talkin bout the cycle,
life's a motorcycle: whose fault, when you fall off?
I choose to move at a pace
that keeps me on the pace
... and keeps me off in space

i kinda think lil' b should give up rapping for awhile and just produce an andre nickatina album or something....

that bonafide hustler beat is cool as hell, but god he's really getting worse and worse as a rapper

it's an MIA sample, lol

doh dude needs to read ilx

"Age of Information" is straight-up poignant.

Internet favorite, Lil B the Based God, has inked a deal with independent label Amalgam Digital. The digital only label announced the partnership earlier this week, while also revealing plans to drop two discs from The Pack rapper in the coming months.

The first disc, Angels Exodus, a prelude to his debut solo disc, Glass Face, will drop on January 18. Amalgam will handle marketing and worldwide distribution of both LPs.

"Shout outs to Amalgam Digital, they been ahead of this for a while," B said in a statement. "We are putting out these two albums called Angels Exodus and then Glass Face. It's going to be historical works of art with these albums. On Angels Exodus it's going to be real hip-hop and sticking to the script. I'll be going far outside of the boundaries and staying far away from the script too. The Glass Face album will live up to it's name. These albums are something everyone will understand. They are the reason why I'm 10' tall and everyone else is just 6'7''...no diss. You know I love everybody." --Elan Mancini

"glass face" is hilarious

it will live up to its name

b-_-d "bonafide hustler"

your headphones are on backwards rev

amalgam is the label curren$y was on

and joe budden lol

buddden

lil bb

I wonder if he just couldn't get a proper deal or if this is in some way a smarter financial move based on the way he releases his music and tours and all that. Obviously majors were trying to sign him

what do majors really offer artists other than access to distribution? shitty 360 deals?

I have absolutely no idea.

status

promotional budget? but the good ones don't need it anyway

whaaaaaaaaaaat was broyles doing

lil 'b tours?

yahhhh, saw that. did lex do that beat or is it just The Influence of Waka?

g5 kids did it

they made "pretty boy swag" i think

ah, thx

it sounds like a cross between lex and "pretty boy swag" actually

the bass is right from the latter but the awesome piano is switched with straight ripped off fake horns

dude can sell out larger spaces these days apparently.

fuck it sold out?

i was told "it's going to" so i'd get tix in advance for the nYC show if i was you.

i just did!
