rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

Holy shit this Lil B song is FLAMES. That sample is nuts.

Also, that Sharks hat he's wearing in the video is ace.

i posted lil b in the style icons thread

lol @ surfboards -- i thought the same thing

haha I hadn't noticed that yanni line. transcendence is definitely something he uses self-consciously, all those vids of him looking at himself on his laptop like he's one of his branded girls, such a pretty bitch, like he's too great to get hung-up on anything. its a little glimpse of a world of enlightened swagger

actually, it's just one more example that indie rock values/aesthetics are dominating hip hop right now IMO

not sure what that means, if it means d.i.y. & incorporating whatev u are hearing then that's most of hip hop over its lifetime, i guess fucking up emergent tech for decades led to slickness & now comes democratization of free & cracked software with a kid like lil b.

there's also this rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread in the "proper rap" category but don't sleep on the spoken word stream of consciousness shit over weird production which uses a rap context (like braggadocio or battle rap) to go interstellar. also like j0rdan says the "i'm god" youtube is basically one verse of three, third is best with "i'm not stressed out / i'm god, i'm the best out".

yeah it's weird how sometimes he'll refer to a third party "based god" -- can't tell if he's referring to himself in the third person or another higher being

the video of him loading the gun and rapping with it to his head & his finger on the trigger legit freaked me out -- i could not have filmed that as i would never want to be in the presence of a loaded gun in the hand of lil b

hoes suck my dick cuz i look like jesus

and i think one could argue that he has questionable "talent" -- but it's crazy to me that he's so in control of a concept (and i guess you could argue "lifestyle") that's so vague and undefined and that can only truly make sense in his own head, if even that. the idea of being "based" makes more and more sense even tho b sometimes makes less and less sense

Yeah, I've been listening to B for a while now, and I STILL don't quite understand what "being based" means...

being ethereally psychopathic

not sure what that means, if it means d.i.y. & incorporating whatev u are hearing then that's most of hip hop over its lifetime, i guess fucking up emergent tech for decades led to slickness & now comes democratization of free & cracked software with a kid like lil b.

nah i mean like nu-indie sorta self-aggrandizing self-pity....i just feel like hip hop is really straining to be more like indie rock now, in terms of fashion and aesthetics and everything

pretty much every xxl rapper is an indie rock swagger jacker

yeah it's just weird to see like a new rapper fuck around with a gun listening to elliot smith for like 2 minutes at the beginning of his video!

it's a new era i guess

i really don't get how yall figure these levels of qualitative distinction within the rick ross oeuvre like ahh 'magnificent' was terrible and this other thing is better - to me they all just basically hit the same button of lushly-produced barry white opulence (raps staying the same) every time and then quickly fade from memory since there's no real interesting grain there beyond that.

agree with matt re lil b.. i mean i still don't understand how the vans kids turned into nu-anticon all of a sudden but it is what it is

"super high" beat is way better & john legend is kind of matthew santos-level annoying on that hook

oh u mean like rappers being emo, well that's only a small part of lil b but i'm all for it when they don't come off as manipulative careerists

"barry white production opulance" that doesn't stick around OTM re ross

yeah see i can understand the hook complaint i guess but 'magnificent' is a lovely beat to me and just as nice as any other - if it had been az or j stalin or whatever on it yall'd be buggin

I liked "Magnificent," don't get me wrong, I just didn't think it was that great or anything. This is pretty slick, though (this being "Super High").

i liked 'deeper than rap' way less than 'trilla', as far as such thing could go -- i dig the sound that ross has minted, but the album was about 3-4 songs too long, didn't have any bangers along the lines of "the boss" or "here i am" or "luxury tax"

the 1st clouddead album was mellow enough & I wouldn't be surprised if lil b was a fan but the mentality is more direct &very different. lil b's talent is as a performer, so confident that anything he does can be art; publish a book of text messages. indie is the wrong reference for rapping w/ a loaded gun to yr head.

cmon guys surely it doesnt fall to me to drop a sage francis deejbomb round here

that's why i said anticon rather than strictly clouddead though, it might not be that album per se but the "talent is as a performer, so confident that anything he does can be art; publish a book of text messages, loaded guns" blurb all still strikes me as very reminiscent of what one of those guys would do or have have done solo?

no, lil b's very direct, 1st person posturing&philosophising through his youtube channel doesn't remind me very much of dose-one-style ringmaster performance or whatever else you're thinking of (but I wld have thought that's the closest). The almost self-help vibe of lil b is closer to a new age, spa-music, lifestyle mentality, which is why he raps about yanni and not odd nosdam.

while we're talkin these newish type guys, never got a co-sign on this tape

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80tmCjXU4xo

b i still luv u <3

i agree w/ rtc about rick ross, and lil b

altho lil b def has more of a pop ear occasionally so maybe its kinda rong

iirc i cosigned that starlito tape upthread, zvookster. anyways cosigning it now just in case.

*cosigns*

*hi five*

yeah i was just rethinking the pop/wayne/indie/manipulation since ogmor seems to be unaware that "new-age self-help spa music" is like the trendiest possible thing right now save a geocities page and a gif of a digitally rendered sea or something. (plaxico can answer any further questions i'm sure.)

basically the time is ultraripe for a pm dawn revival ppl!

actually k3vin co-signed it also on another thread, i now recall

whole lotta people said i wouldn't reach shit/now all the bad girls wavin got me sea sick

I'm aware both of lifestyle music as a trend and how irrelevant that is to whether or not lil b sounds like anticon

i was told that i was the most interesting guy in the world by this girl/that said that i can't be with her because her friend had me first/so i say in this verse and play this for her!/your friend that is/ahaha i still luv u!/well...that's the name of the CD

starlito is such a nice cool smart funny guy. definitely the least sociopathic of rappers that get talked about itt.

tbh noz's months of constant lil b boosterism seemed gross and off-putting to me, weirds me out that people are actually paying the guy attention now

hes totally not the kind of rapper im into generally, but it makes sense to me that he would have a following

gross how?

is that what elliott smith sounds like?? that shit is horrrrible

that was a shitty live version the og is v. pretty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQrhA6QtWOM

btw googling lil b is p hard to find anything- any actual tapes to go for (and where?)

that starlito is my jam.

this, if it was ever actually released

http://www.basedworld.com/wp-content/plugins/random-image/6Kiss/LilB-6KissFRONT.jpg

really i would just watch videos on the dude's youtube channel & then download some that you like, or else it can kind of be a deluge

um, also noz posted a compilation, which he posted on cokeblunts

This is Rare Documented Footage Of Lil B A Private BASED Country Club Where He Is A Member

thx

from his youtube channel i would check out "i'm god", "insane", "death of rap", "birth of rap" and "really waterfront"

lol at title "really waterfront"

lol yes

this is also really cracking me up & guaranteed to be in my head all day tomorrow

The first time I heard this song I thought the hook was saying “lemon lime” over and over

i may not be able to drink yellow gatorade or sprite ever again w/o that repeating in my head tbh

um, also noz posted a compilation, which he posted on cokeblunts

him putting this on his P&J ballot was one of the things that was gross to me btw

prob worth making the point that ship's adventures on the noznuts are a diff conversation to the lil b one, and since he doesn't feel like explaining what he's talking abt, not a v productive one.
