History Music / LilB

* BoastfulRap: Of the surreal variety. Lil B has claimed that he [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1GcxENVOCM looks like Jesus]], compares himself to EllenDegeneres, ParisHilton, BillClinton, and JustinBieber, to name but a few.

->''Call me [[BarackObama Obama]] [[MemeticMutation Based]][[AGodAmI God]]!''

!!!Lil B provides examples of:

** He also goes "Mmmm", "AAAAGH", "OKAAAY" and "YESSS" quite a bit.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tklYWVV-xY Violate That Bitch]] is a notible case. The vocals and beat are distorted to the point where there's points where Based God's vocals can barely be heard.

* TheMessiah: Views himself as one, and has stated [[http://www.complex.com/music/2013/06/lil-b-interview-village-voice in an interview]] that he has a mission to spread love and positivity.

* {{Troll}}

* SwagRap: The TropeCodifier. [[{{Irony}} Odd]], considering he's a parody artist.

* [[EpicRocking Epic Rapping]]: There's a song on the soon-to-be-released "05 Fuck Em" mixtape called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXuPVYTG2r0 G.O.R. (God of Rap)]] that is ''10 minutes long'', probably the longest song the Based God has ever made.

Lil B [[InsistentTerminology "the BasedGod"]](born Brandon McCartney) is a Berkeley, California-based indie rapper. Formerly a member of Bay Area group The Pack, Lil B has focused on his solo career from 2009 onwards. Lil B is well-known for being a prominent yet [[LoveItOrHateIt extremely polarizing]] fixture of SwagRap, using social networking(particularly MySpace and Twitter) to build a large online fanbase, and his [[FountainOfMemes highly-memetic]] music.

* MesACrowd: Not in the physical sense, but [[http://www.complex.com/music/2013/04/i-cant-make-based-god-music-all-the-time-lil-b-on-music-positivity-and-inspiration in an interview with ''Complex'']], Lil B has claimed that he views himself, Brandon McCartney, and the [=BasedGod=] as separate entities.

* SwagRap: A TropeCodifier.

* CelebritySong: **Oh boy...**

* CelebritySong: *Oh boy...*

* StealthParody: His cooking songs are undoubtedly this, as they are based on satirizing rap stereotypes and making fun of hip-hop conventions. There are ''loads'' of people who take him at face value and think he's being serious without having heard any of his actual attempts at rapping like ''Illusions of Grandeur''.

* BoastfulRap: Of the surreal variety. Lil B has claimed that he looks like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1GcxENVOCM looks like Jesus]], compares himself to EllenDegeneres, ParisHilton, BillClinton, and JustinBieber, to name but a few.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Just enough to qualify for this trope. Some of his earlier mixtapes such as ''Dior Paint'' and ''Rain In England'' are much more spoken word monologues over {{Ambient}}-style instrumentals than actual rapping. Example: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BOeTJz-Eag TV to the Internet]]".

** He also goes "Mmmm", "AAAAGH", "OKAAAY" and "YESSS" quite a bit.
* ToneShift: ''Illusions of Grandeur'' is generally a much more serious work than most of his output, with lyrics focused more on his petty criminal past and life in a poor urban community. Unlike most of his other mixtapes, there are almost no "cooking" songs.
** In general, the "Paint" series of mixtapes is more ambient and spoken-word styled, with more introspective lyrics and nary a shout of "SWAG" or "WOOP" to be found.

* MisattributedSong: The {{Caillou}} Based Freestyle was by Yung God, not Lil B, as many would have you believe. However, it is still an excellent mimicry of the [=BasedGod=]'s style.

** He also goes "Mmmm", "AAAAGH" and "YESSS" quite a bit.

* VerbalTic: Extremely often, with shouts of "swag", "WOOP", "[[SayMyName BasedGod]]" "chef", "knife", and "cook" in between lines.
