lil b (the based god)

u need to go in http://www.costumesgalore.net/costumes/historical/renaissance/royal_princess_costume_0120.html to really swag it out imo

haha yessss

omg! i refuse to follow lil b online for a v obvious reason but keep updates about uk shows coming. would love to go if im not working

Will do.

He plays http://www.kraak.net/festival2011 in Belgium on March 5th so I imagine the UK dates will be following that.

Interesting to see that the dates are being booked by a promoter that you wouldn't immediately associate with him: http://www.no-fi.org.uk/artists

Although I suppose if you come at things from the Weird Forest / Rain In England angle it makes sense.

holy shit he's coming to belgium

ahah

"In 2010 Lil B released one of the most bizarre records in recent years, with which he combines digital New Age with popular American hip-hop. Through his simple poetry, he suggests in an almost frightening way, the conflict of Western youth, caught in a web of imposed desires, the internet, sexuality, luxury and deconstructed ethics. Lil B brings a combination of contemporary African-American existentialism and the quest for days-long after-parties. Both musically and sociologically interesting he is one of the most popular artists in the United States. Good 'swag'."

i wish i could wipe a fucking magnet on the internet sometimes

hahaha is that a belgian critic? i love the kind of sympathetic detachment

he is one of the most popular artists in the United States. Good 'swag'."

he is one of the most popular artists in the United States. Good 'swag'."

he is one of the most popular artists in the United States. Good 'swag'."

he is one of the most popular artists in the United States. Good 'swag'."

if you put all of based god's serious tracks on one album you'd have like the best ny rap album of the past few years

i would take the pepsi challenge and listen to this because i do not have the energy to sift through 200 based freestyles for the occasional actual song

word? lemme throw up some links

this is a rap over "one mic" -- dope conscious shit slightly shot through w/ the based style & also the first verse is pretty much a story & it's told very artfully

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxE5CwnmLCI

i can tell he didn't like he was driving a benz
fake friends always hate when you're driving the whip
the white picked him up wanted to give him a ride
let him in the backseat to show the feeling inside
he ain't tryna stunt on him, work hard for his ride
plus he wanted to show the leather and the heat in the side
they don't understand the grind, they just seeing his ride
so they shot him in the neck just for being inside
they were rich for ten years, but they greedy inside
the white fell out the car, he was bleeding and died
they tried to switch the plates and the color of the benz
so they could stunt in front of hoes showing money that they spend
and they drove to the east for an even exchange
but the cops pulled up, it wasn't even exchanged
pull em out the stolen car with the murderous weapons
say they gonna go to jail w/ the murderer's blessing

this one is just straight spitting pretty much on some thug shit

this is kinda on a prodigy tip in a depressed paranoid way

http://www.youtube.com/user/lilbpack1#p/u

this is has a sample like something off 'diplomatic immunity'

http://www.youtube.com/user/lilbpack1#p/u/23/luRBe3dStU4

have you heard "age of information" btw? that's B's best track & one of his most overtly NY sounding

lil b "myspace" is another good east-coast "proper rap" kinda one

^^yes -- totally forgot about that one

also the trap

stick "i'm god" on there and maybe "i'm free", sequence all this shit nicely and put what you doin as album closer imo

lol it's very hard to stick to the brief and not just start posting "songs i like from lil b"

Yeah, I never heard "Myspace" until recently and was like damn, he killed that shit. My favorite new old Lil B joint.

Anyone else hear that 'good swag' in the farnsworth bentley voice?

naw bc for me it's like endearingly earnest french teenagers talking abt jazz in nouvelle vague movies

Geoffrey D. Nunberg's History Of Information at UC Berkely discusses "Age of Information"

What's the beat?

r u my nigga off the realness

smh listen 2 your cormegas rev

i do kinda get the feel sometimes that like 90% of lil b's references are going over his audience's heads entirely (not talking about rev here, obv v. knowledgeable dude, but hes a convenient inspiration for that observation)

possibly -- lil b is a massive music nerd and probably listens to more & disparate rap music than even his most ardent fans

it's weird how suddenly central cormega seems on ilx lately due to the jacka and lil b, i was gonna start a realness v true meaning poll last week due to it but there was a reason not to i can't remember now, maybe it was justifying leaving his other shit off to make it a bit more interesting to me personally

I've never really listened to Cormega tbh, seems so far from what even backpackers here have historically been into. Like there's this whole school of NYC shit that is considered classic by peeps back east but no one here talks about ever that Mega falls into.

Here meaning Seattle or maybe more broadly the west coast, not ILX obv.

backpackers love cormega ime, maybe not on west coast tho (although certainly mob figaz & other gangster dudes are into him there)

Which from where I sit, makes B's interest in that stuff kind of weird and exceptional in a way it wouldn't if he was from east of the Mississippi. self-xp

hes not as much a backpacker tho

which i guess supports your ponit
