I SUPPORT LIL B ○ http://drink.thickredwine.com video by scott salhanick ○ http://www.youtube.com/user/nirvana07543 track recorded, mixed, mastered by phosphene productions ○ http://www.phospheneproductions.com lyrics: This story's kind of sprawled out, well I guess that I should warn ya 
Lil B's my favorite rapper, he's from Berkeley, California
 I heard him first in '06, he was in a group called The Pack
 They were just a bunch of teenagers, real hungry to rap 
And their single "Vans" got famous, all the skaters really loved it
 "Got my Vans on but they look like sneakers," they preached from their pulpits
 But MTV wouldn't play their song, they called it a commercial
 They missed something entirely when they made it controversial
 Cause rap and skating culture are both socially rejected 
It might have been a silly song but it was still about being different So a record label signed them on the strength of that 1 song
 Two years went by, the label dropped them, things had all gone wrong 
Lil B was shattered so he came up with a plan
 To find a more direct way to connect with all his fans 
As soon as he found MySpace, that's where the madness started at 
A hundred forty pages, he made seven hundred tracks 
And a lot were recorded poorly with a lo-fi punk aesthetic
 He talked about his life, got high, and came off schizophrenic 
Psychedelic, funny; most important, he was honest
 His gift was letting words, unfiltered, flow from his subconscious 
He called this being BASED; at first I did not understand it Sloppy and unnerving, sometimes lost and heavy handed
 I know rappers always claim they can find words right on the spot
 But no one shares unstructured thoughts quite like Lil B the Based God 
His music is a diary, a transcript of his mind
 Spaced out, existential, sometimes he won't even rhyme
 He talks about his thrift store clothes, how he loves everyone 
How people should be positive before reaching for their guns 
It comes off kind of like a deconstructive science project
 Where he can pick apart cliches and forms within his genre He's got songs about celebrities, he's even made up his own dance 
It's humorous and ludicrous, but it's all part of his plan
 Cause he's got other songs that reach unmediated truths
 Experimental hip hop, he gives his perspective on youth The Based World is a product of a strong grass roots persistence His life is a defense of the world wide web's mere existence Sure there's mediocrity, people will misuse it 
But the digital community is the subtext to his music 
He responds to every screen name out there as much as he can
 Appreciates support, he keeps his music free for fans
 I remember when his MySpace pages took so long to load Girls sent him tattooed half-clothed photos, he posted them in droves
 He's got videos filmed in his hometown blowing up on YouTube 
Lives his life on Twitter, if you follow, he'd retweet you 
And his fans sometimes might seem a little crazed in their devotion 
But something in his music brings out complex strong emotions So you can call him terrible, you can say he sucks 
But hatred looks so petty next to all the lives he's touched 
Reaching out to us in ways that never happen often
 He dedicates his life to making hip hop's hard shell soften 
Ambient and soulful, he's got one disc on a noise label
 Spoken word insanity, I heard it when I had no cable
 He's a role model for kids much more than popes or politicians
 Cause he lives for positivity and the power of ambition It's clear he's just a young man out there doing what he loves
 Not scared or shy to be himself when push comes to shove So Based God, I recorded this hoping one day you would listen 
A token of my thanks for all the music you have given 
You know that if the blogs and critics someday forget about you
 I'll be among the millions who are glad that they have found you 
Accomplished as an artist, you've earned fans and many friends
 You stand for something special always worth time to defend So I say thank you Based God 
For staying honest, staying Based 
When the world won't fit you in
