rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

dude is so unfiltered it does border on the uncomfortable at times whether it's sexual stuff or drug-addled talk or just following his thoughts, it's kind of like reading a young kid's diary at times.

combination of this and his voice, are, on many tracks, pretty gross to me. i get a feeling on some of his freestyles that it's like, i should not have been privy to this particular stream of lil b's consciousness thank you very much. i do like lil b, though, and "i'm god" is a masterpiece and yes he's a good entertainer, often hilarious, almost always entertaining, and sometimes pretty gross, that's all.

also the fact that a lot of the based freestyles are really bad, and there's no quality control whatsoever, contributes to this. i'll be the last person to deny dude has struck gold plenty of times, more than enough to justify his existence, but some of them are uncomfortable just because he can barely pull a string of rhymes together in time, and you can hear him faltering and choking up, it's really awkward and makes me kind of nervous.

the based freestyles comp is kind of unlistenable -- i usually cherry pick the songs he makes videos for and then expand outward from there (usually shit that's posted on digital dripped)

otoh dude is so unfiltered it does border on the uncomfortable at times, whether it's sexual stuff or drug-addled talk or just following his thoughts, it's kind of like reading a young kid's diary at times. also u might think noz has plucked this kid from regional obscurity on some kingmaking shit just for kicks or u might even think, wrongly, on some ironic appreciation shtick & find something gross abt that. these are some of the things i thought ship might be getting at.

i mean you're in the neighborhood, although i wouldn't use the words 'kingmaking' or 'ironic' --he just never struck me as the type to champion some random rapper for being SO WEIRD and knowing about INDIE ROCK or w/e, and i get intimidated about even trying to give the guy a serious listen when all of the terms you guys praise him on make him sound like everything i dislike about later Lil Wayne minus the vestiges of a long history of making good regular rap

al you would hate him unconditionally

"everyone knows time is amazing"

-lil b

time, time
it's so sublime
they say it's non-existent
but it's messing with my mind

icp biting lil b shockah

lol actually that's some OG trap rappers from the southwest called the meat puppets, dudes moved heavy weight in the 80s

haha

alright, i'm going in on lil' b, brb

actually i bet chris kirkwood has literally had his hands on more drugs than jeezy ever did (all of it going right into his body obv)

that 'worlds ending' thing is dope

okay, so that's four youtubes so I don't know anything but it feels like souljaboytellem does this much better.

I'm assuming someone has already called this stuff "post-modern hip hop"? Cause it feels like some visual gloss that has some depth but is more about the music than of it.

soulja boy has actually become more based as of late

soulja boy is a less compelling rapper but alternately collaborates with better rappers, so it evens out (even tho there are prob like 5 super dope soulja boy youtube freestyle/one off tracks)

cocaine blunts blog posts + people's posts itt are pretty much the closest to a collective anthology of writings on lil b as we're likely to get at this point, and i don't believe anyone's dropped the pomo bomb yet. i dunno though forks, you might have gotten the wrong impression from the tone of discussion; lil b is not to be taken seriously at all he is a huge stupid goofball who makes silly, silly music.

well so is souljaboytellem, but I take him seriously
unfortunately
but truly.

besides, Warhol played at the huge stupid goofball persona for all it was worth and taught the world that it's less about who you are and more about what they think about you

don't mind me i'm just laying the groundwork for my 33 1/3 pitch for the D4L album.

i was kinda u_u when the 33 1/3 proposal on drought 3 didn't get picked

souljaboy has been biting/collabing with lil b for a minute now, feel like this was discussed upthread?

t'was

kanye was called po-mo rap but mainly for singing badly on 808s, but when u hear the hookless early version of ilx thread trib "I'm So Appalled" u can kind of see a lineage to these guys more likely to be called "post-wayne" however dubiously

http://www.cbrap.com/?p=5034#more-5034

i dunno Kanye sold the POP ART thing w/ 808s a lot but that was probably his least po-mo album, it was all pretty much just garden variety myopic boo hoo breakup songs

i don't feel like lil b "knows about indie" btw, or that ppl think that's a plus, feel like he just uses things he finds like he used the "noodles, baby" video meme like the day it hit worldstarhiphop. think noz said they were listening to a portuguese film OST when he visited his crib, but it's not like oh he knows european classical if it turns up in a track as i'm sure it already has.

he sampled band of horses once

I'm with Al on this; there's a considerable difference between calling something post modern because you want to be taken seriously and actually being post modern. Lil Wayne post 2008 is pretty pomo.

he is like closure of the rap-->pitchfork->rap loop

KIDDING

idiot.

this is all the ship's fault for making like anyone thought an occasional indie sample was a big deal in itself.

or whoever made sure one of the first lil b youtubes that was posted said ELLIOTT SMITH in the title

anyway i'm not all "oh my god they have indie cooties" and get tired of people who are like that myself. i'm just saying samples like that are part of this guys I AM SO DIFFERENT, WE ARE NOT IDENTICAL I AM A JUPITERIAN thing.

do you think lil b enjoys making fun of insane clown posse?

what abt transcribing gucci lyrics?

also i wonder which side he would come down on in the whole yelawolf vs jacka debate

#based

i get that u don't care for the guy, but it takes some doing to turn what lil b does into a cynical schtick

tpp do u feel like this convo is already ridiculous or where are u coming from

i guess i'm just anticipating adding lil b to the list of rolling fruity swag butthurt vendettas 2010

but ftr i already said upthread that i dig lil b and i think he should be taken seriously

lil b actually is a jupiterian tho

champion some random rapper for being SO WEIRD and knowing about INDIE ROCK

i think 'so weird' + 'indie rock' are both red herrings here really. i guess the diy aesthetics thing is closer to whats interesting abt lil b but yeah it's not just a rapper discovering what indie bands did in the 80s is it? its' more how he has built a massive following of fans that are basically plugged into his stream of consciousness raps + performances that are mostly shit, often creepy + occasionally great.

ok we'll drop the indie thing but how does your last line there describing what he does not translate in any way to "so weird"

haha <3 sipster cuppies <3

ok yeah he is pretty weird xp

can't believe i just read this thread. only thing i came away with was wondering whether po-mo stands for post modern but not caring enough to go on urbandictionary

finally hearing this new gucci tape. 'antisocial' is my shit

it stands for "poor homo"

also 'shutterbug' is incredible
