wow over the past few years everyone that's joined watmm has been a crybaby whenever they disagree with someone, maybe you guys need to grow up

hypocrisy, thy name is tht tne.

I've not been following this guy but I'm assuming it's major trolling? because nobody is that awful. if I'm wrong somebody please explain to me what makes him any good. safe.

part of the appeal is the mystery of whether he's trying to be funny or not. and then there are the moments where he's actually very good. and even moments where it gets very emotional or tripped out.

to be honest, most of the time i find myself mystified at how fucking funny it is, but i don't always know if he's aware that he's being funny, based on the interviews.

Post that slowed version of Like a Martian. Can't find it on youtube.

this, exactly. His shit manages to be 100% entertainment and somehow not incredibly annoying to listen to, how does he do it?

from the newly released Red Flame mixtape, his best album yet

and a classic instrumental

I think I might be getting into this dumbass's music. it's sort of strangely infectious. I read a bukowski quote on wikipedia recently that reminded me of lil b.

  Quote

Somebody at one of these places [...] asked me: "What do you do? How do you write, create?" You don't, I told them. You don't try. That's very important: not to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like its looks you make a pet out of it.

Why do they call it ambient rap? Is this because there is a black guy talking over ambient soundscapes?

yeah, it's probably 'cause they're racist, not because the guy's primarily known as a rapper.

HOLD ON A DAMN SECOND HERE

excuse me for being thick, but is this a meme or a wattem joke or what?

or have you guys all gone hipster and legitimately like this southern hip hop artist?

Firstly I think what you mean is ironically* not legitimately. I do not understand where legitimately enjoying something coincides with being a hipster.

But the answer is that we (or at least I and Bubbhasdance, to my knowledge) honestly enjoy the music that Brandon "Lil B" McCartney crafts so majestically, and personally I believe he is the voice of a generation and a highly accomplished genius.

If you disagree with that we have no problems, thats perfectly fine. But Based God is no more a meme than any other artist and I think it's disrespectful to assume so, to the fans and to Based God as an artist.

oh fuck, i just got schooled!

but you'll have to forgive me, i just find this music really bad. and I struggle to think of a nicer way of saying that.

Like a less senile Kool Keith if you will.

so his appeal lies in his lyrics?

maybe that's why I don't see it. I was too busy listening to the very stock-standard southern hip hop beats. which i also happen to despise.

I can see Lil B chugging seltzer water in 20 years.

a tangent, but rapid bum shaking of that variety strikes me as more comical than sexual.

opinions of the woman aside.

listen to the TRACK, though!

I dunno bro

maybe rap ain't for me, and I should leave you fair folk alone.

lil b is easy to hate. i showed some tracks to a friend of mine and he basically begged me to turn it off the whole time.

actually, i love lil b but i don't completely get why he does the "gangasta" stracks which often are the ones i don't listen to

i prefer when he gets a little weird and spaces out over a beat or talks about random funny shit. i like when he's fully based, fully open, no strings attached as opposed to when you can tell he's writing the lyrics. i think he should continue to pursue his "based world" instead of bothering with standerd tracks. if you think about it, what he's doing is absolutely brilliant both musically and philosophically. sweet! he's the most original artist working today that i'm aware of, and probably one that will have more impact than u think !

for me he is a gigantic inspiration. the amount of hate he brings upon himself is enough to set off an alert in my mind that he must be doing something interesting. i've begun making my own based tracks - i'd been making them for a while, basically sitting in the basement with a guitar and playing the first shit in my head, singing random crap without sense (but that now in retrospect makes sense) and just shitting around.

hearing lil b release his thoughts without worry at all about retribution makes me realize i can do absolutely anything and it will be ok. it's better to do what you feel than to try to fit in. i no longer have any desire for structure in my music, almost no desire that is. i can sit down with a track and shit all over it and if i feel like screaming over the top about babyshaking then i will. whether or not anybody else likes it is 100% irrelevant, and if i'm lucky somebody will anyway. the idea is that it doesn't matter anymore, we're too far into the rabbit hole of man's existence for it to matter. the only thing that matters is that you love yourself and do what you feel.

thank you based god!
