lil b (the based god)

i think ppl at the lecture were probably engaging w/ lil b in a lot of different ways and w/ different levels/kinds of irony, jadedness, condescension, whatever. & some of it is probably warranted or brought on and encouraged by lil b & some of it not.

i mean there's some straight up heinous attitudes contained in some of those audience reactions

yeah but absolutely nothing that's inconsistent with the way people interact with him or his music online afaict. maybe having it acted out in the flesh makes it seem different, i dunno.

not much to add to the discussion, but I really enjoyed that Nabisco article, and listening to the lecture again and trying to tune out the crowd, and it's actually really nice and heartwarming - charming in its simplicity, like (i'm really eloquent today). I doubt the sincerity of the crowd much more than the sincerity of Lil B, mind.

wtf is a 'sincere event'?

is it demographically homogeneous & free of anything that cld go viral

well like if a kid gets killed and they have a candlelight vigil

ogmor, well, everybody could be delivered with a wink and a nudge, y'know, but he sounds so genuine (and yeah, he does have a sense of humour about it, but it doesn't seem very idk meanspirited). Regardless of anything that could go viral or anything weird or whatever, that's not what i meant.

Lil B openly encourages anyone in the room to say whatever they want at the beginning of his talk

Show at New Museum tonight was excellent.

it was

Lil B From The Pack (@LILBTHEBASEDGOD) is now following you on Twitter!

*LEAVES WORK, FINDS NEAREST BAR, BUYS EVERYONE SHOTS*

felt the same impulse

wait what, this just happened to you? i mentioned him once like a year ago and he followed me 5 minutes later

some of us are late bloomers, some dude

also i'm not sure if i've ever mentioned him

well, i'm proud that you've finally joined our very exclusive club that only a quarter of a million people belong to

thank you, some dude

i wonder if any other famous people have a 2-to-1 ratio of followers to followees, it's pretty insane

i have mentioned lil b a hndfull of times and have yet to get a followback ;_;

the first albino Wale discovered!!!!!!

"#BASED NEWS THEY SPOTTED THE FIRST ALBINO WALE!! IM SCARED BECAUSE THERES MORE AMAZING ANIMALS WE DONT..." tmblr.co/Z2lMPyKBkGfU

someone tell him we've known about asher roth for years

lol

okay, dap for that

new found respect for lil b after finally watching the vid for "Ima Eat Her A$$". dudes changing the game.

i own swag is like a top 3 lil b song for me at this point

TRAPPED IN BASEDWORLD

beats BASED in TRAPWORLD

second song transforms into drowning pool dubstep

"MMMMMMMM Damn" is incredible, look forward to an all-disorienting lil b mixtape full of stuff like this and "bazzar model"

Wow "Connected in Jail" (second song referenced above) is p. stunning on first blush.

i could have sworn i hit stop on the datpiff embedded player of this mixtape when i left for work 12 hours ago, but when i walked in the door just now, it was playing

#based

"I ain't never seen Lil B get that crazy before..."

http://www.complex.com/music/2012/05/lil-b-confirms-hes-working-with-drake

so pumped for this

lol

if ever a situation called for a RMDE acronym

i'm happy for them, they deserve each other

they're gay (i'm happy)

I could randomly pick thirteen songs from any of Lil B's mixtapes and the results would shit down on Drake's collected output from a great height.

eh they're both 8th generation degradations of different qualities of lil wayne that have nothing to do with why lil wayne was great

"i'll be over here warbling hooks and thinking up bad puns, you focus on making 20 songs a day with as little effort as possible. we'll crack the code"

Well, yeah, thats pretty otm. I guess I just have more patience for somebody throwing wacky shit at the wall to see what sticks than to hear someone milking a terrible concept well past its expiration date.

it's kind of bringing a gun to a knife fight but i still love this: http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2012/05/lil_b_classical_album_choices_flowers.php

lol oh man don't bail on that piece before the 2nd page, that is good. I mean I actually enjoy listening to Lil B's new age stuff, love Rain in England, but mean ol' critic dude is otm nonetheless

i mean it's fine and all but like just grab a random windom hill record from the dollar bin

lol
