How Does Gangsta Gibbs Feel About Lil B’s “Gay” Title?

04.29.11 Written by Gotty™

If you’ve ever wondered why we support Freddie & co. so heavily, the reason is because we see much of Hip-Hop – the music, surrounding culture, the reverence for original acts…and the current levels of f*ckery – very much alike. At our sponsored Southpaw show from earlier in the week, Gibbs reiterated on the mic what we said here about Lil B’s upcoming, fruity album title. Read the rest of this entry »

Lil B Goes Gay

04.17.11 Written by Gotty™

During the Dipset era, guys wore oversized tees and pants. Phrases like “no homo” and “pause” were commonplace. The Harlem crew lead a fashion trend which fans picked up, turning it into an exaggerated epidemic. Remember when Footlocker stocked sizes 4x shirts and New Era’s above size 8 were sold alongside pink doo-rags? Read the rest of this entry »

Lil B – “Illusions Of Grandeur” x “Touching & Emotional” Videos

04.01.11 Written by TC

No one formally asked if you were ready for a double helping of based in your face, mouth, nostrils and bellybutton. Lil B is looking out for your eyelids, even when you’re dreaming of sugar plum dumplings and Zoltar machines.

Rockie Fresh Feat. Lil B – “So Gone (Based Remix)”

03.29.11 Written by TSSCrew

Words by C. Paicely

Rockie may be a fresh face, but he’s already learned the benefits of connecting with Hip-Hop’s busiest worker bee. Lil B has amassed a following largely because of his determination to amass a following, and anyone swift enough to slide him onto a track right now can expect exponential exposure increases.

On Lil B, Diddy, Odd Future And SXSW

03.21.11 Written by David D.

Pics via Houston Press

There was something different about SXSW this year that was hard to put a finger on at first. Parking was more difficult. Drinks were less potent and there were suddenly women showing up on 6th street at night wearing short skirts and stilettos. The indie event was starting to feel like a tourism spectacle, but the changes were mostly subtle.

That was until Diddy cooked. Read the rest of this entry »

Lil B Feat. Phonte & Jean Grae – “Base For Your Face” (Prod. by 9th Wonder)

03.09.11 Written by Beware

This summer, when we figured out why Based God was so damn strange, half of us realized there would be a point in time where his gimmick would work and the attention would lead to legitimate connects with legitimate artists. Then, with money in tow and opportunities to shine present, the Pack man’s lyrics would become less cooked and more bearable. Read the rest of this entry »

Class Dismissed: No More XXL Freshman Grades

02.22.11 Written by David D.

Let’s start at the beginning. The whole Freshman grades thing started innocently enough: I saw XXL‘s freshman concept for their 2009 class and thought it’d be good to treat them like an actual class with grades as the year progressed. When it was first published, I asked TC if he thought any of the rappers listed would read it. Clearly, I had no idea what kind of monster the grades would become. Read the rest of this entry »

Fame As A Ferris Wheel: On Gucci Mane And Lil B

01.19.11 Written by Gotty™

The money is enticing but the idea of fame is frightening. Or shall we say, the ungodly amounts of attention and the light’s pulsating glare are chilling to some. However, others relish in the camera’s flash and the constant presence of microphones pressed in front of them searching for the next soundbite. Gucci Mane and Lil B are two stars – one seemingly at his peak and the other rising rapidly – whose handling of stardom sharply contrast. Read the rest of this entry »
