Throughout Lil B's career he has openly and unapologetically been himself, resulting in a legacy that spans further than just music, he has become a cultural icon. Lil B the Based God Documentary TYBG
I loved Lil B when i found him back in Highschool in 2011, my PfP is actually me and my GF getting ready to go SEE Lil B with Danny Brown for Thanksgiving. He was always ahead of his time.
When I first heard Lil B several years ago I fell into the trap of thinking he was just a meme because I only heard his jokier songs. He’s got a genuine passion and talent for music and has several tracks that really showcase it. Age of Information was a big mind-changer for me.
honestly I feel like hip hop is so versatile and broad now compared to other genres because they didn't have "a lil b" he's a phenomena TYBG love video was amazing
@@jasonanderson5034 also bro kool keith gave him his flowers back too, from one legend to another. You actin like LIL B didn't get mocked for what he was doing.
Feel like this isn’t completely fair. Most genres except for a few (where the fanbase cares too much about gatekeeping) are really diverse when you dig deep
subscribed. my fav Lil B memory is laughing at his adlibs until I cried, my fav adlibs were "Captain Captain!" "Kris Humphies!" "Figaaroooo" and "Yessssss"
he's the perfect example of a rapper changing the idea of what rapping can be and could be...his based freestyle evolution after leaving The Pack is something of legend and should be studied...to completely divide hip hop fans and have half of them confused with the other half convinced was really something to witness...I remember hearing his new stuff in 2010 without even realizing he was the guy from that "Vans" song and it was confusing for me to get into at first...a few days went by and kept listening to him, it all of a sudden dawned on me that I was enjoying something I didn't yet understand and that really opened up my mind...I grew up in an era when rappers tried to be cool and sound cool, or be good and sound good, and be dope and sound dope...Lil B sounded like he couldn't care less about any of that, and not only did he just sound like that, but he really did end up sounding cool anyways, even when he was crying while rapping, screaming really weird adlibs, sounding like he didn't even listen to an instrumental he was rapping over...it was pure performance art at it's core, he's not trying to be a stereotypical rapper or musician, he's trying to make an art statement and say something about the music we're making as a culture it's more so "outsider art" than it is "rap music"
What a sickhead, its crazy how influentual he is still, he really did open doors musically. this vid made me realise how much his (positive) influence went beyond that tho, nice one
great documentary man. of course i knew of him because of the memeability back in the day, but he seems like hes a genuinely good man, behind it all. thanks for putting this together
Thank you so much for making this video bro. This means a lot to Basedworld and it means a lot to me that you'd do that. He changed my life and I'm forever grateful for that and it's up to us to protect his legacy into the new decade
21:00 lil b just a bug (instrumental) TYBG. also I didn't know that devious lick trend used ski ski based god. I've been listening to a slowed version for years, so hearing it sped up was bizarre.
