A few weeks ago, I was hipped to the fact that Big K.R.I.T. was booed out of the building when he performed in New York. I chalked it up to sour grapes from a city of people angry that, no matter what, it can’t generate a buzz or reclaim a throne that it vacated years ago. (Of course, this doesn’t mean there isn’t a slew of talent there – just to clarify. So back off.) Still, K.R.I.T. has one of the best projects of the year and legitimate talent, so the booing just came off as lame from the crowd. Still, it’s a reception that didn’t surprise me. I figure a lot of up-and-coming southern acts are going to get looked at as insufficient and unjustly taking a spot from a so-called deserving New Yorker. Granted, this is a pretty stupid way to look at things, but I’ve come to accept that some people are just going to be like that. New York and myself had made an unspoken truce.
That was until this happened.
Lil B performed for a sold out crowd of adoring fans in New York’s hallowed Santo’s. We’re just going to boo K.R.I.T. and cheer Lil B? To this, I throw up my hands.
This is really one of the most depressing videos I’ve ever seen. People…rapping…along to “I’m f*ckin’ on yo’ b*tch.” I must pray for the world. I mean, the man put the mic to the side and let the crowd finish the lines “I’m a pretty b*tch.”
Jumping Jesus Juice there’s more!
On this second video, Lil B kicks a four line freestyle: “Hoes on my d*ck cuz I rock master fleeces” and the crowd goes insane. (Of course, I’d argue against their sanity from the jump, but you get my point.) Then, the crowd can’t contain its excitement; they begin chanting “Hoes on my d*ck” over and over like some brain-dead farming S&M fetish cult. With each yell, my faith in society died a little bit.
Dear New York,
Next time you wonder why you can’t get a break, look back on this moment. You boo artists like K.R.I.T. and cheer Lil B while Smoke DZA, Outasight, Donny Goines, The Kid Daytona and Emilio Rojas are somewhere recording and looking for a crowd like the Base God pulled? You truly deserve the musical and commercial mediocrity your city is wallowing in right now.

haha…great article
David D…a hit as usual
“Jumping Jesus Juice there’s more!” LMFAO!
That was the best line! But I totally agree on this whole article. idk WTF is wrong with ppl lately, Lil B makes me wanna rip my ears off. I’d go to a Player (guys who sing “baby come back” lmao) tribute concert over that dude. aha! Big K.R.I.T is so slept on, fuck whoever booed him they dont know any better.
I guess the idiots in that building, at that time, are fans of and support dumb shit. Not surprised. No one’s immune to the bullshit nowadays. Fuckboys support fuckboys
NYC has not been the barometer it once was for what gets a pass and what doesn’t. They vacated the throne of being King Tastemakers LONG AGO
point taken, but isn’t it lazy thinking to somehow imply that the same crowd was at each show? remember: NYC is the biggest city in the country. we have a lot of different fans of a lot of different kinds of hip-hop. you can’t take down an entire place (and all the mostly great rappers you mention above), because of particular shows.
for KRIT (who i love, btw) and any other rapper that’s a relative unknown, it’s always going to be something of a tough prospect when performing in front of a crowd that’s looking forward to lloyd banks or jim jones or whoever. these are locally-minded fans – hardliners – and they have never been the most open-minded bunch. but you gotta admit, there’s not too much of an actual overlap there as far as music.
i agree that when viewed side-by-side, both crowds are illogical and make me shake my head, but wouldn’t it better to move beyond pitting new york/east coast versus _____. there’s plenty of great music being made everywhere and i guarantee the majority of true new york hip-hop will accept that (as they always have).
Saw this on 2dopeboyz this morning and forgot about it. Funny thing is that I was JUST looking for Based God’s twitter when this popped up on my timeline. You know, this video got me thinking whether or not Lil B is actually smarter than we take him for. Maybe that whole “Parody” idea that one person on the Lil B post talk about is true. Didn’t that South African Pseudo-Hip Hop group get a record deal? Basked God really the King of fools or are we the fools for thinking this is all ignorance? I mean this fool even got an article written about him in the NY times (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/27/arts/music/27lil.html?_r=2) I think everyone talking about Inception has finally taken it’s toll on me.
But don’t get me wrong, Lil B having a sold out crowd when K.R.I.T got booed is fucking lame. Keep stacking your L’s New York. Your government is nearly broke and your basketball team is shit. What’s next?
Let that boy cook.
Yea I guess we’re just gonna compare two different artists and their two different fanbases all because they all live in one city. I don’t think the crowd that boo’d Big Krit would’ve cheered for Lil B but whatever.
Man. Nevermind.
You have to think that he’s catering to a crowd of 15-20 yr old that are fixated on being “pretty”. He plays his part in this music thing, he’s like soulja boy. People will love him. I don’t like his music, but for some reason I’m hooked on that cookin shit. We just have to wait and see how long he lasts.
He’s the anti-Christ. And what we have here is an entire Jennifer’s Body thing. In this case, the pretty bitch is the one entrapping unsuspecting hip-hop fans and turning them into Baseheads.
Lil B is very smart. MUCH smarter than many people realize. Believe that.
Still…smh.
Jesus, you’re still bitching about Big K.R.I.T. getting booed? New Yorkers boo people. Hell, they booed Derek Jeter when he was in a slump, and this was after he led the Yankees to 4 titles. Stop being so damn sensitive, ladies.
Ayo
That old saying that go “If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere” REALLY IS OLD….antiquated
this Lil B dude…does Oakland even claim him, or is it just the internets? There was a time that regardless of the crowd, he would’ve gotten booed….I guess dude won lol
I always knew i wanted to be the Best..I always knew i wanted to be god
Lil b makes some dope music. folks just don’t get how people can like him
I hate Gaga but i see why folks like
Unbelievable.
People call BasedGod a worse version of Soulja Boy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Soulja Boy does a Jay-Z/Young Chris or a Lil Wayne/Curren$y and take that ninja’s style and run with it. Everyone STILLS call Soulja Boy trash while Lil B has a massive following. Hell, I even used his “100 Bitches on Deck” line to describe when I have a good night (It’s lame I know, but that shit is funny to me). From what I remember, the NY Times is a respectable news source, so the fact that they said nothing in ill-will about his concert must mean something.
Watch, first Soulja Boy is gonna try to do some “Based Freestyling” himself, then he’s gonna borrow some lyrics. Pretty sure we’ll start hearing Lil B’s influence all over the damn radio. I fear for our future.

All of this
Soulja boy did start that pretty shit till he started fuckin with lil b.
Raleigh booed two Lil B, Soulja Boy type acts off the stage trying to open for wu tang. somebodies manager fucked up paying to put them in front of wu. therefore if you put quality music (still havent checked krit) in front of a fan that likes to sing along to lines like “im a pretty bitch” then the same thing gonna happen. that crowd mightve booed rakim off the stage. dont judge new york off that crowd. judge the horrible taste of people who go to Lil B shows.
this what happens when quality control falls by the wayside and the inmates run the asylum
didn’t*
I stopped trying to defend what my fellow NY’ers do once I saw some of them rocking pink doo rags because Cam’ron rocked pink.
Big K.R.I.T is nice; those suckers that booed are lost causes.
They cheered for him when he fucked up his “freestyle.” This shit wouldn’t fly in Philly. That’s all I got to say about that.
I was just talking to one of peeps in LA about Lil B and he was telling me he can actually rap and hes doing alot of the BASED shit for shock treatment which get alot of hits but then he does some ish that makes sense and its scary like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd2-BryIwFo and and it does get any hits but its a good song 0_o which crazy to me. I believe Athrin has a point and this kid fooling us all you gotta remember he 20 young as hell and reckless.
This is a wierd generation of hip hop we are in where youtube hits mean more than song quality. New York as a whole all ways boo southern rappers and MCs they booed Outkast, O.J.(who I dont like), and KRIT and frankly this doesnt surprise me at all. New York can be salt that they arent on the radar in there hometown but looking at videos like this its clearly their fault.
Hell im from Jackson, MS and my market loves Gucci, OJ, and Flacka who did a performance here at a club and the crowd wasnt feeling him at all no booing they just looked at him like bojangles you need to entertain me now. He ends up saying Fuck MS I aint never coming back to this Bitch and then the crowd boos him…
Let just remember this is a entertainment industry and its for our entertainment there is clearly something for everyone and if support what they like it will survive.
P.S.
Let Me Cook
i dont kno wht 2say.like dude say he play his part.i wish peopl like ths didnt exist n the game but i guess it has its place.i hate whn othr artists tht ur getn n2 start collaboratn wit da wackness(ie chip tha rippr).its like a strike on their record.i fux wit chip but wht da fuk dog.i dont evn giv sht like tht play.paus.pow.#death2wackrap
First off, DO YOUR RESEARCH before writing little rants like this.
1-Most the kids that went to that Lil’ B show are coffee shop hipsters that spend their days listening to Diplo songs. The only kind of rap they tolerate is the one that doesn’t involve social commentary(the thought of a black man with intelligence intimidates them)
2-LIL B WAS THE HEADLINING ACT. Even though I don’t agree with it, Krit got boo’ed because NYC is full of elitist faggots and everyone was there to see Joell Ortiz & Jay Electronica.
3-All the artist you mentioned aren’t putting out damn near 4 music videos every week and have over 900 songs on the internet. The quality of the music isn’t in question. When you have that much material available somebody is bound to relate and like the shit. Who are you to say he didn’t deserve that crowd?
4-All the aritst you mentioned besides Big Krit & Smoke DZA ARE FUCKIN TRASH AND ARE NOTHING PUT OVERHYPED BLOG RAPPERS
5-Sadly the crowd from Santos would’ve probably showed Big Krit more love than those fuckin virgins at the highline ballroom.
Overgeneralizing NYC is like saying all black people are drug dealers. Krit performed for a “real hip hop” heavy crowd. Lil B’s audience came out specifically for him. Two different audiences within NYC
yall couldnt find a gayer picture of him to use?
A couple of issues I do notice with NY crowds are:
1) Everyone in the audience either knows someone who is 10x nicer than the artist performing or thinks they are 10x nicer themselves.
2)If they don’t know the artist performing, they will not give you a chance to show your skills. Unless you have a strong co-sign from respected acts ie Jay Electronica.
I saw The Pack perform. They sucked (honestly) but it was interesting how the audience was in a trance almost.
I look @ Lil B and all this shit from the angle that no, i don’t have to like it. But I like to attempt to understand it b/c if it’s moving that many people it has power.
either way, the 2 crowds: “real hip hop/elitist faggots” & “coffee shop hipsters” don’t have any credibility anyways lol
^^^a man seriously!i str8 dont undrstand da appeal of ths dude.must ba buncha females n pussies.pow.
Diddy co-signs it. So he must be doing something semi-right.
Posting this video here just gives Lil B more momentum
Based God influence? Retardation is a style now?
The “Real Hip-Hop Heads” cut from the same cloth as Fat Beats, Lyricist Lounge, & Rawkus Records are insular xenophobes.
The “Skinny Jeans/Bright Colors” kids have Paris Hilton’s DNA: shallow & lacking substance
those must be the 2 prevailing crowds in NYC
ive never heard more then 20 seconds of a lil b song but this post makes me wanna hear him.
where do i start? would it be taking an instant L if i do this?
and i wonder what krs one has to say about all this.
@petey wheatstraw
like a martian is the bes place to start if you wanna get a feel of what he sounds like. Or violate that bitch.
Diddy co-signs it. So he must be doing something semi-right.
================================================
For real son? Like seriously? You actually typed that and actually believed it???
it’s not so much about Lil B, as it is about the disparity of the 2 wack audiences IMO
@TC
well diddy is deceivng. With his twitter lies.
I STILL feel bad for when Lil B got stole on in that mock interview with a multiple facial hit combo lol
His NYC triumph is just karma at work haha
dude did get pieced up huh.!thy shit was funny.sombody need2 sock tht fool whil he on stage.like rubn a dog nose n pee.he has 2learn wht hes doin is bad.bad dog.pow.
“I saw The Pack perform. They sucked (honestly) but it was interesting how the audience was in a trance almost.”
you talking about the show at Krucial before Mike? you know i didnt even put 2+2 together and realize dude was there with them. hilarious.
that show was horrid, and far too long.
Yep. you weren’t watching. i was paying close attn.
Them and Fab had the crowd wide open. I didn’t walk away understanding them better but I knew to pay attn from there on. Fab ripped that motherfucker for his set and TOTALLY changed my perception of him. that motherfucker had crowd control.
Rap fans in New York City vary greatly although the mainstream is the largest group. Rick Ross’s audience is a far cry from the average Mos Def, Ras Kass, or Dilated People fan. Lil B’s audience is also a contrast with Kid Cudi’s fans. Sometimes these 3 types of audiences intersect, but more often than not they don’t mesh in any city
wow, between him, OJ, Waka, Gucci, & Soulja…I’d say hip-hop is in good hands lol
This post requires a Rock The Bells plug… so there.
just scrolled through the whole comment section and didnt see one from Noz. i want to hear what he has to say about this. *dave chappelle robot dances over to cocaineblunts*
lol @ Maurice
Nina – I feel like you’re partially right but a little off as well. I saw one particularly amped crowd stand completely still during KRIT’s performance @ SXSW. Not a knock against his music because his mixtape is top 5 releases for me this year. But being able to perform is a whole different thing than making music. So yeah, if you can’t perform, it ain’t shit.
But it’s just the same as when OJ came and they booed him. I’m sure if I wanted to sit here and really think, I could point out other Southern Negroes who’ve gotten treated slightly unfair by NYC crowds.
I guess it’s different. In the South, we’d just go to the bar, rap to a bitch or go smoke a cigarette and wait for your set to be over instead of wasting time booing you lol.
so does this cat got mixtapes or what? is the pack those cats that did that song yadadimean? because on the low i liked that shit probably more then i should have lmao
#HoesOnMyDick cuz my style & complexion is better than Eli Porter with half of his rapping ability
i’m probably repeating stuff folks already said but i heard about k.r.i.t.’s new album from a new yorker who is rabid for the dude. i mean insane for the guy. i’m sure if i bumped into him right now and he asked me what my favorite song on the album was and i told him i hadn’t heard it yet???? he would throw a titty attack. no one else has mentioned it to me….except for a new yorker. whereas i, a proud native of Brooklyn, loathe Lil B with every fiber of my being but also find him hilarious which is probably why people showed out. it looked that the crowd was mostly hipsters and frat boys and they’re not hip hop but they ARE infiltrating this good city of NYC so that is what the crowd is gonna be from here on out. they’re the ones with the money. you gotta figure these things.
i seen the pack perform twice, and i didnt think they were anything special at all…one of the more inferior live acts i’ve seen…b musta really stepped his game up to be rockin a crowd like that…or the audience got dumber
Andy Milonakis rolls with this kid…Lil B is officially THAT DUDE yo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhXhVMKxnkY
Dude had the nerve to start a “Hip-Hop” chant.
Excuse me whilst I off myself.
Where’s my Yankee fitted?
This is the biggest peanut butter jelly bullshit ive seen (in my cam’ron voice)How do you boo Big Krit who had one of the best mixtapes ive heard this year, lyrically beter then half the MC’s out right now but a sellout show goes to see LIL B im not a hater but god damn at sum point this has to stop that dude is horrible i couldnt even believe he cam at Joe Budden when he did that. Now New York if you gon support this dude then Vado, Pill, Danny Goings better not ever have a problem sellin out a show in NY, an the sad thing is we kno shit aint gon change wtf
Like it or not, he’ll be around for a while.
yo…I just listened to
-like a martian
-violate that bitch
-pretty bitch
and im fucking speechless…i have that wierd blank feeling you feel after you just get done seeing some wild shit you wasnt supposed to see…like a bad car accident or some one getting jumped or walking in on your parents fucking…i really honestly dont have a solid opinion on this shit yet but im leaning toward straight shenanigans. This is unlike anything ive ever seen before and im inclined to shit on it but at the same time it compels me to go in and listen to the catalog.
my head hurts.
Lil B has gotta be related to Reh Dogg

That’s exactly how I felt when I first caught wind of his shit. Now I’m just like let him do him, I don’t have to like it cause he’s gonna continue with it anyways. I just let the boy cook.
we not mad @u ny.just nxt time pay ths man his just due n bumrush da stage.thts how we roll nda da D.ths is da respect we’l pay him.pow.
Let that boy cook.
============================
The food SUCKS, and we need an intervention of Gordon Ramsay-esque proportions
I ain’t mad at him. Don’t really listen to him, but I’ll never intentionally hate on him. Do ya thang boy
@Teef
Maybe Wolfgang Puck. Or we could get some Emeril.
i just got done watching the videos…man, WTF.
the crowd is looking at him like hes fucking god on some cult leader waco dave koresh type of shit.
hes got the fuckin crowd in his damn pocket…when he says “im a pretty bitch” they lose theyre fucking minds. i need a little more time lmfao
*goes back to wormin’*
What The Fuck is around Homey’s neck
^ best question of the night lol
dude’s on some Sun-Ra/Pharaoh Sanders type-steez
Blame the public school system lol
Fcuk the words. Gimme some droned out bass, some dumb excuses for metaphors/similes, and a chorus…. Oh yeah, and a reality TV crazed society that rewards “looks” and gimmicks over actual talent and VOILA!
But let’s be real… Before there were Soulja Boys, Lil’ B’s and such there were JJ Fad’s, Rico Suave’s, PM Dawns, and Young MC’s… Dumb-dumb rappers have always been around.
and since everybody’s rapping… especially in what was known as the “underground”, this:
“Everyone in the audience either knows someone who is 10x nicer than the artist performing or thinks they are 10x nicer themselves.”
Whatever.
Rico Suave’s, PM Dawns, and Young MC’s
^
at least with those dudes, they were coherent lol
what does “based” mean? is it like his music is bass heavey or is he refering to like, base rocks?
“Artists like K.R.I.T., Smoke DZA, Outasight, Donny Goines, The Kid Daytona and Emilio Rojas” … I never heard one track by them and no one who doesn’t spend too much time on the internet looking for music listens to any of those artists. Shit I get almost all my music from the internet and I don’t even listen to those artists. Lil B seems to have made alil buzz off the internet so no surprise ppl showed up to see him and didn’t boo.
Stop pointing fingers at Nyc. I’m sure K.R.I.T. got booed and would get booed at certain venues down south too. Different crowds enjoy different artists. Lil’ B found his crowd in Nyc and I’m sure K.R.I.T could find his but whatever night he got booed just wasn’t his night.
I feel so ashamed to be from the bay right now.. like, allow me to apologize on behalf of the bay for not beating him to death before this shit happened.
@ Nina
I just saw him in Chicago and he damn near did his entire album and didn’t get booed…so…
*points index @ Brooklyn*
#HoesOnMyDick cuz I still fit my Garanimals
^ he explains based in his fader interview..
And after watching his ”freestyle” over hood hop a while back.. I’m a bit more convinced that B is fucking with everyone
well shoot me a link or break it down for me or something aggin, damn.
I love how the DJ in the background is just trying to pound through enough beers to forget where the fuck he is…
#HoesOnMyDick cuz I’m a cross between Hacksaw Jim Duggan, George “The Animal” Steele, and Koko B. Ware
he kinda does rap like he really smokes cocaine blunts
This may be considered Blasphemy but I would much rather have a documentary on Lil B than Eli Porter for the sole reason that Lil B is a total mystery to me. As much as I would like to know more about Porter, Based God’s following and the name he created for himself outside the internet is ridiculous. That and his Fader interview had me going “Is this the same ninja who did Like A Martian?”
Shootin eagles, feedin pigeons.
Seems like Khalifa co-signed Lil B at one point and was almost gonna do a mixtape with him before How Fly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fChdKVg-O8&feature=related
Of course that could be bullshit.
After laying waste to New York City, David D. has officially earned the title “Cloverfield.” Well done. As usual.
I’m going to my cave now. Somebody knock on the door when someone sucks and its okay to tell them that they suck again……………………..pause.
NEW YORK SUCKS.. I LOVE IT WHEN ‘BEAMER BENZ OR BENTLEY’ WAS HOT FOR ONE SECOND AND EVERYONE IN NY WAS LIKE ‘OOHHH NEW YORK IZZZZ BACCCKKKK!!1′ NAH YOU STILL FUCKING SUCK AND YOU DANCING TO A SONG ABOUT CARS YOU WILL NEVER DRIVE. NY IS DEAD.. LONG LIVE THE SOUTH.
The real rappers in The West get overlook for this suck ass nigga? I just Don’t get it. I could see Stunnaman or Uno pullin the off. Shit, Maybe even Young L if he give out some Pink Dolphin shirts. New York sold it’s soul to the devil.
Looks like Lil B needs to stay away from college frat houses and move to N.Y. Can you imagine what would have happened to the guy who let a few fly to his face at that show above?
lol
LIL B ALSO SHOUTED OUT AZ & CORMEGA DURING HIS SET
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxE5CwnmLCI
Based!
Petey – was posting from my phone so couldn’t get thelink… http://www.thefader.com/2009/12/08/interview-with-lil-b/
LOL @ Gotty hahahah rap to a bitch instead of wasting time booing hahahh
Sounds like some of you are waiting for the show where Lil B tells the people of his movement to all drink cyanide-laced Flavor Aid.
Athrin (When they see the new Blog Post, all the Dopeboys go crazy) says:
July 26, ’10 at 11:30 pm
People call BasedGod a worse version of Soulja Boy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Soulja Boy does a Jay-Z/Young Chris or a Lil Wayne/Curren$y and take that ninja’s style and run with it. Everyone STILLS call Soulja Boy trash while Lil B has a massive following. Hell, I even used his “100 Bitches on Deck” line to describe when I have a good night (It’s lame I know, but that shit is funny to me). From what I remember, the NY Times is a respectable news source, so the fact that they said nothing in ill-will about his concert must mean something.
Watch, first Soulja Boy is gonna try to do some “Based Freestyling” himself, then he’s gonna borrow some lyrics. Pretty sure we’ll start hearing Lil B’s influence all over the damn radio. I fear for our future.

woo! swag, swag, swag! errything based! don’t you feel based f_ckin’ that bad bitch!
please shoot me before this based swag spreads to the tss.
97 comments & counting… Lil B wins…

*stares at screen and cocks head to the side*
100 bitches
damn look at this, this is probably the most interesting thing of his i heard this far.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAt47pri79g
Yo, Dave, you my man & all… but watch your fingers when you type about NYC.
Look at the crowd Lil’ B performed in front of. You’ll see niggaz with skinny jeans & mohawks. I got news for you, son… that ain’t representative of all of NYC. That’s Lil’ B’s type of gay-ass crowd (which can be found nationwide) & they damn sure don’t rep the likes of me & my set.
Maybe if Lil’ B woulda came to Bed Stuy, ENY or Jamaica Queens, instead of downtown Manhattan, niggaz woulda licked shots at the stage.
Rick Ross just performed up here & he ain’t get booed. Everybody sang along. A lotta southern niggaz come here & don’t get booed. By the same token, niggaz from NYC done performed in the south & got booed. It goes both ways. In ATL, the doorman charged me 20 bucks to get in a FREE club, just on some NYC bias shit. Faggot.
Everybody in NYC is a rapper so when there’s a show, 95% of the crowd are rappers. And they ain’t listening to the dude on-stage. They’re freestylin in their heads like, “Man, I could rap over that shit better than him.” That ain’t good but that’s what it is. K.R.I.T. is still a relative unknown commercially, so he ain’t get the fair shake he deserved.
But don’t EVER lump me & real NYC niggaz in with that crowd at Santos.
Next time you come to NYC, Dave, call ME. I’ll take you to the hoods I hang at. You won’t see no colorful-ass joyboys singin’ Lil’ B out there.
lil’ b won. despite if you dislike him… big meech said it.
Yo, H, why don’t you show your face, bitch?
Put a link or sumthin where I can find yo punk-ass.
Whether you like Lil B or hate him, you’re talking about him and that’s the genius part of it. Might be the first rapper since Soulja Boy to actually use the internet and social networking to his advantage.
@ tommy: nah, not really the first rapper since soulja boy but perhaps the first dude to make nonsense music and bring it to the mainstream. can’t forget dudes like wiz khalifa and curren$y.
like athrin said +60 comments ago lol, i’m willin’ to bet soulja boy will jay-z/big, jay-z/young chris or curren$y/lil wayne the dude. i payed pretty close attention(pause) to the first “pretty boy swag” video and i’m startin’ to see it already.
In lame man’s terms…. soulja boy cooked and was #based.
@ whoever said NYT article abut him was positive
“From a distance, or through the computer, his output can seem like a broad conceptual stunt, but it’s really a thematically thin cesspool. His oeuvre triggers the magnetic sensation of watching someone who can rap reasonably well choose to rap poorly, and waiting to see if that will change.”
That ain’t positive. Cesspools are never positive.
The NYT article is overwhelmingly positive though … I seen references to Based God online but avoided it like the plague. After looking at those videos I will say now with good reason.
If you take lil b seriously and not for the hilarous act that he is…
YOU’RE A FUCKING IDIOT. POINT BLANK.
He’s a massive inside joke and the most interesting persona in rap bar none. Haters gonna hate, idiots gonna reproduce and the world keeps spinning.
Swag.
lemme get that head, bitch
suck my fuckin dick, bitch
Damn are people being intimidated into giving this dude a pass just because hes got some numbers behind him? Just because a mob of fuckin idiots is digging on something, that shouldnt mean it deserves fair consideration. That attitude has been responsible for so much bad pop over the years, shit has got to stop. Insane clown posse has a ton of fans, do we have to assume those dudes are smart and or talented and wise to something the rest of us dont get? Hell no.
AFTER LIL B GOT CLOCKED IN THE DAMN FACE BY THAT FAN I WROTE HIM OFF WITH YOUNG BERG AND THE REST OF THESE FOOL THE MUSIC DOESN’T MAKE SENSE AT ALL AND I GUESS HIS CO SIGN IS SOULJA BOY WHO IS EQUALLY AS WORSE AS THIS GUY THIS IS WHAT HIP HOP HAS TURNED INTO A GOT DAMN CIRCUS WERE THE CLOWNS GET ALL THE SHINE
WHERE IS THE SUBSTANCE IN THE MUSIC TO END IT ALL HE HAD A SONG CALLED I LOOK LIKE JESUS GET THE FUCK OFF THE STAGE BRO
“He’s a massive inside joke and the most interesting persona in rap bar none.”
Most interesting persona in rap?
Surely… you must be joking.
Lil B got a warm reception because people like his music. Nothing more, nothing less.
But liking and $upporting are two completely different things.
That club cash can only take your so far and you get no checks for mix play.
Lil B is kinda like “It” from VH1′s Love of Money and I Love New York, I’m not sure if he’s acting or he’s that stupid.
thats sad wtf iz wrong when real hip hop artist getz smashed on by bullshit azz artist with no skill and no integrity New York !!!FAIL!!!!
Maybe lil b is showing us how stupid we truly are. Two years ago people went gaga for lil wayne essentially doing the same thing, making himself into a buffoon and reciting nonsense.
I have also seen krit live in new york, he was very bad at performing but the crowd had quite obviously never even heard of him.
@ David D, is it conceivable that KRIT’s critical acclaim might JUST be internets based while Based God actually got a real fanbase willing to go out & support him? I know TSS fucks with KRIT heavy, but can KRIT sell out shows? And just because TSS has a low opinion of B doesn’t mean the rest of the country or other people think the same way. SWACK
AV
i fuck wit smokinsection mayn an i ont een like lil b as much as deez fans in de video mayn but yall look pretty stupid and ignorant with coverage of lil b on here mayn juss sayin
^Ummm… what?
un fucking believable…
Let’s examine this for the New Yorkers…
I’m sure its possible that Lil B has a “real world” following but he is also an “internet rapper”. Big KRIT is an “internet rapper” but he also has a real world following, (*see the show he rocked in the Chi). Now OJ got booed in NYC but Pill didn’t (he got a lukewarm reception), OJ is a “real world rapper”, Pill a mix of both. I’mma put it like this…let NY boo Freddie Gibbs, real Midwest niggas don’t take that shit…
At least Lil B’ is just being himself, unlike The Fake Rick Ross…
somethings are just meant to have no explanation. he took the weird pack following and reinvented himself and mulitplied that following. some music folks will swear by a pitchfork, fader, cbrap, etc. regardless if they even know what’s going on. fascinating, but he would never get any cd/show/music $ from me.
You make ah really good point. Big K.R.I.T. Was Here is arguable one of the best mixtape this year
Man… the new younger hip hop generation is dumb as fuck…
LET THAT BOY COOOOOK
I not gonna lie I jam his more serious songs but as for all that pretty bitch shit, I can’t get wit it.
siddenote: Let that boy cook, he ain’t hurtin’ nobody
I don’t know who lil b is and I am assuming I won’t become a fan of dude. But, damn this dude is going to be a force. Look at how many comments this post got. Dude’s got everyone’s attention, and sounds like he is runnin with it.
damn, folks are really hot about this hahahaha
Drake is WAY worse for hip hop than Lil B. At least Lil B is being creative.
People today, not just kids aren’t interested in a good story these days they only want someone comparing themselves to god or they’re swagger to something it’s the same way with half the shit in England but only half (thank god for D double E and Rascal Wiley Etc.) But really where did this lack of adventure come from this generation is a mindless breed who would rather hear about fucking on someones bitch or think that “all the way turnt up is a dope song or that S beezy is a good artist or even Lil B you know what I say DEATH TO THE SWAGG ERA.
Evidently this nigga is a fuckin epidemic! This shit is so crazy…
im gonna snatch that fools chain
am from new york and i havent heard of any of those artist
you named but i know lil b and honestly dude got songs
you can dance and party to thatz what matters at the end
of the day if you wanna if you wanna spit knowledge
dudes dont wanna hear that epecially the woman
Lex!
In my opinion, he really doesn’t look very much like Jesus.
so let me get this straight, in the late 80′s we didn’t fuck with too short, geto boys, ugk and others so we were lame, right? (even though niggas really was buying it in ny, some niggas anyway) Now we are lame for actually supporting new outta town cats and we are still lame? c’mon make up ur minds.
Lil B is a troll. If you do not know what a troll is, I recommend looking it up on Urban Dictionary. He is one of the biggest trolls of all time.
I personally think he is hilarious. At least he has fun making his music and has a positive state of mind.
LMFAOOOOOOOO. I laughed from start to finish of this article. But you are more than right. it frightens me to see the following this whack nigga has. don’t get me wrong, the shit I find amusing, but I am NOT a fan. got damn based god what has hip hop gotten us into. hahahahahha
NYC has not been the barometer it once was for what gets a pass and what doesn’t.
^ U Right. Hoes on my dick cuz I rock mater fleeces! HAHAHA!
the writer of this article is such a fucking miserable faggot, learn to have fun and enjoy life sometimes you hipster little sissy mary
I remember once hearing Rass Kass say in an interview that record labels always told him that he’s rapping over peoples heads,he should dumb it down to sell records…thats all I’m gonna say,I’m not gonna even comment on thislilbdrivelbecausethatsnotevenworthit but I agree with the Editor(Good Post David D.)
wow the legendary MAYNHOLUP posted
follow this man’s words, he speaks the truth
and there seems to be way too many uninformed, simple-minded people here
What’s funny is that for someone with such a positive outlook as Lil B, he’s really good at drawing at the haters. He knows what he’s doing (his output runs the gamut from really thoughtful to really ignorant) and he’s pushing buttons – this writeup and the comments are testament to that.
LOL at blogger types coming at NYC for Lil B selling out a show. You’d think there were posters up in the streets and Mister Cee was on the 1′s and 2′s. Those youngsters in the crowd cheering him on are your creation. Your children. That blood is on your hands. The next generation of internet addicted kids like Lil B because old school internet heads like yall are infuriated by him. He raps babble that even the most slang heavy o.g would scrunch his face at. He posts songs online at a faster rate than the older established sites can or care to keep up with. You’re the ones who taught them that newest post or most hits meant good. Kids feel like they got there own little inside thing with this guy and he’s running with it.
and Big KRIT’s target audience is older and more street based than lil b’s i’m assuming. The streets in NY aint heard of him yet. I’ve never heard his record 1 time on the radio or in a club. You seem under the impression that because an artist is in the blog loop than he’s all set to blow. You need a hit to make a name in this game, internet co sign or not. Hot records and leg work still mean a lot in this industry. Kinda feels like the blog “tastemakers” got an inside thing with this guy like the kids do with Lil B. 20 bloggers can make a good impression on the net for any artist but it aint translating to sold out crowds when your audience is older and more selective.
WOW amazing post! Lil B?! go home!
HEY EVERYBODY!!!
There’s a commentator who calls himself “h” & he visits TSS sometimes to pop shit, like he does in this post. The “h” stands for hater.
Well, h got mad cuz I called him a punk-ass bitch for talkin smack about NYC. So he came to my place of business, THE SPIZZY, to leave comments like:
“Fuck you suck man”
“YOu might aswell kill yourself.. No one will ever buy your gay shit.”
“Straight up no one faggot should be your caption.”
I didn’t have to approve his comments but I did, cuz I like comedy.
Is this how cyber-thugs handle beef? Is that the best keyboard-killaz can do? My blog is on fire right now, so your words are hollow. Look at how I get down… and this ain’t been updated in a year:
http://www.myspace.com/blackpacino/photos
I’ve had real beef where niggaz came to my crib with guns to kill me, so I’m tryin to understand how it’s done online.
Well guess what, h? Now I have your email address, which is:
cheese@gmail.com
It’s prolly as fake as you. Still, being a journalist, I ran it thru the social networks & the only thing I came up with was your MYSPACE PAGE:
http://www.myspace.com/39042419
Your MySpace name is appropriate: YELLOW. Just like the coward you are, you fuckin twerp. You ain’t even got a pic up, lookin like a SPAM page. Is it cuz you got nuthin goin on? Is it cuz you get no pussy? Ashamed to show ya’ grill? Awww, how sad & pathetic. While go-getters like me make power-moves, you go from blog-to-blog & make comments.
I see you’re in Michigan. Well you’re in luck, fag. ‘CUZ I HAVE FAMILY IN DETROIT. No, really… I DO. Cousins, uncles & very close friends. I ain’t been there in a while but I stay in touch with em. Word to my pops.
So I’ll tell you what, h. Send me a pic of yourself. Tell me where you hang. I live in Bushwick. I hang in L.E.S. Manhattan, in Campos Houses & Jacob Riis Projects, my 2nd home. I’m always in Kingsborough PJ’s too.
Once we figure out locations, you send your ppl in NYC to get ME & I’ll send my ppl to Detroit to get YOU. FUCK THE INTERNET. That is, if you even have folk in NYC, you faceless, hatin, virgin bitch.
Am I takin this too serious? Yeah. ‘Cuz that’s the only way I know how to do shit, h. I don’t know about net beef. I only know street beef.
If you ain’t prepared to do that, pop a dick in ya’ mouth like a pacifier. The proof is at The Spizzy: I get pussy. I’m VIP at the best parties. I write for major NYC newspapers & magazines. I hang in Vegas & chop it up with pornstars. I live in the most expensive city in America & still buy $1,000 plane tickets to see my folk in Japan on the reg. Google me, my name is known.
Who the fuck are you?
Let That Boy cook.. i mean foreal that nigga sick people like him because he funny….. Swagggg and like stop hatiing forreal let him do his stuff.. Base
you gotta understand that not every one in NYC is the Crazed Hip-hop fan that most ppl think we are those are mostly older ppl and a few teenagers
but many teens are just as idiotic and like the same BS as every 1 else in the country thats y in NY they dont play NY rap only during DJ mixes
LET-THAT-BOY-COOK
Much respect to David D for this article. You make some great points. I would be embarrassed if my site was the one delivering EXCLUSIVE LIL B content to the Internet.
The throw up wouldn’t of made it to my hands.. I would of threw up in my mouth
most of the comments here are incoherent. why is that? how come all these self-proclaimed evolved and sophisticated thugs that listen to that “real” hip-hop type like they’re in elementary school? fucking room full of simpletons. what a pansy ass site.
swack/swack, herbs.
