I'm so thankful for Lil B. I can't even put in words how much he's done for me, he freed me from toxic masculinity. He helped me take a step back and just enjoy life for what it is, thank you Lil B for granting me an exit from the matrix. Forever grateful for u fam
Lil B responding to my messages, having a conversation with me, and giving him his phone number meant so much. Still inspires me to keep going so I can make someone else feel that way
Lil B's influence is insane; you could name countless artists who were influenced by him and you'd have to add the musical influences too. This is why being real and following your heart is the key to success no matter how.
I spent 2011-2013 when I was in my early twenties listening to Lil B non stop (mixtapes, music videos on repeat daily) those were very good times. I then moved on to listening to ASAP Rocky/mob, Chief Keef and then Yung Lean in 2014, which naturally introduced me to bladee & drain gang which I still listen to every day. I can say with certainty that I would have never moved onto those other artists/sounds if I had not discovered Lil B in the first place.
I heard about Lil B around 2009-10 when I was lurking in a chat forum on a hip hop website and someone posted his "Age Of Information" video. I thought it was dope and started seeking out more of his music. Even as a dude who was raised on 80s & 90s hip hop, I became an instant fan as there was just something that appealed about his style. Some of his stuff made me laugh (the Kevin Durant diss record for one) and he wasn't the most lyrical but I rocked with him cause he was interesting & definitely bought a different lane to the game.
I been known about him since I got into hip-hop in 2015, but never got into him because I thought he was "too goofy". I was a fan of Lil Pump so hey what the hell. Listened to my first Lil B song "I'm God" in 2018. WAS HOOKED. Greatest hip-hop artist ever.
Great commentary and breakdown of Lil B. The only “issue” that I have with his process and influence on the culture is he does not “financially” capitalize from all of the hard work he has put into the game
@@WW-mj4nw Understood for that being the case for Lil B. But for others that follow his blueprint, monetary gain is the ultimate endgame for any career/profession.
More people need to give Lil B his 💐 this man without a doubt had the biggest influence on the 2010s Hip Hop..True legend that can easily have his name mentioned amongst greats like 2 pac,Wayne,Biggie,Eminem,Jay z and so on...TYBG
It’s obvious Lil B made what is now called meme rap. But don’t let this distract you from the fact that he could actually rap and actually made good albums, Lil b is definitely a generational person.
30 wit a hammer - 7 hours 46 minutes i finished the whole thing front to back no pauses, skips, or fast forward or anything 😂😂😂 finishing 30 wit a hammer is a test of your basedness and dedication to the basedgod
i remember i had already heard of the pack, but back in them myspace days, lil b had like 60 myspaces with his songs on the music player. that’s when i knew this man was different
Yea having a hard drive with 1500 songs ready to drop at anytime and not to mention his "Free Music: The Complete Myspace Collection" mixtape (2011) having over 670 songs on it definitely classifies this man as different
I appreciate people still making videos about him. He’s honestly the most influential rapper of this generation besides Soulja boy and lil Wayne. And he literally gets no credit
I’ve seen the influence became a fan in 2011 lil b deserves so much respect from the hip hop community he literally helped shift the culture thank you lil b!
craziest part is that Lil B is genuinely one of the greatest lyricists of all time, hes just too real to put his skills on blast. he keeps his best songs underground for the real fans to find, and i think that just adds a whole nother layer of genuine to him. songs like I'm God, Tshirts and Buddens, and D.O.R. are all testaments to the Based God's sheer lyrical prowess. he unironically has several verses in his career that match the likes of Tupac, Nas, or MF DOOM. he can pack so many rhyme schemes and double-triple-quadruple entendres into his lyrics, you just get bombarded by hot bar after hot bar. people mostly be sleeping on Lil B but his greatest works are seriously up there among the best hiphop/rap songs of all time, especially considering how everyone took him as a complete troll before suddenly dropping D.O.R. and proving EVERYONE wrong. absolutely legendary. and thats on top of being THEE pioneer of fashion in modern rap. i hope he knows just how loved and respected he truly is
I cant wait for the soulja boy video. You know your stuff and you know exactly what you're talking about. Being a fan of Lil B and remembering all these things happening in real time, it feels good to see someone recap his career and influence accurately
I literally just learned about him right now. I decided to look up “let him cook” origins. I am 38 now but As a black kid that was into punk, metal/hardcore and alternative music growing up I did notice the change around 2010. B/4 2009-2010 I had so much shit talked on me for listening to punk even BAD BRAINS (an all black punk band) and for the way I dressed. I noticed around that time that black kids started skateboarding and listening to music other than hiphop and ESPECIALLY with the way they dressed. It all makes sense now. I don’t like his music but I LOVE that clams casino song and after watching this vid I can agree that he influenced A LOT of people. Seems even if they didn’t like him they were still influenced. Good vid, I learn something new everyday 👍🏾
I’ve recently came back to listening lil b and rediscovered not even a small part of his music, I’m amazed by the man and his music And now I’ve been told that he influenced most of the guy I listen to well good job
been a lil b fan since like 2011, i have always asked people if they knew of his music and they say they heard a few songs, then i let them listen to "i am the hood" and its another story
Wow! never heard a lil b until today when I was searching Doberman Pinscher I saw a song that said swag like Ohio and I've been in hip hop since the 80s and I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio so I had to hear it Wasn't really a fan of the record but I had to see who lil B was and I saw he had like a million songs on TH-cam music so I did more research I said this guy has to be major somehow and I found his TH-cam channel and your video Your content proved just that, that he was Major. I thank you for sharing this information shout out to Lil B!
I was never an avid lil b listener but I definitely feel he paved way for any new artist using social media as a way to promote and being more personable with fans.
I'm honestly surprised that you didn't mention Filthy Frank when referring to Joji. He would constantly showcase Lil B's music in his videos. He was clearly a fan, and you can hear the influence when he did those pink guy raps.
I’m 32 bro And I was the prime target for lil b when he first came out with the pack and his 2010/2011 run ! And I’m so glad you made this video So needed
amazing work, i totally agree, I think Lil B changed what it means to be a rapper. The only person I can think of to come anywhere near his volume of releases are Gucci and Viper
lil b is also genuinely a nice person. Met him before and he was super friendly. He also follows his fans back on twitter which is hella smart cuz he building that relationship and you feel honored that he would even follow you. Coming from the bay, we all know Lil b first from the pack, like vans was slap and on the radio all the time. In my car was our favorite song to slap when our first friend in our group got a car. Lil b is such an important local legend in the bay and his preaching of positivity was really impactful. He showed that you can be yourself and its okay to be different. TYBG
Dude great video. I found out about Lil B I think around the platinum flame mixtape or maybe it was 38 wit a ladder, but I didn't catch on to his style. Then I heard im god and God of Rap and fell in love. Then I realized how much music he made, I looked up his fashion. The words in his songs. I listened to rain in England. hearing how he talked about hate love life death fear. Lil B is in my opinion, the living legend, best to ever do hip hop. He has been the single most dedicated person to hip hop and then also to music as a whole. I really fucked with Lil B on a mainstream level when Trap Oz came out. All the songs and instrumentals on there are a whole vibe. So then I relistened to ALL of his music. Now my phone has probably over 3000 Lil B tracks on there and I still find old songs that hit like a new song, even if I heard it before. Im so happy I found and dove into Lil B. His music takes me out of depression. Another Lil B trend he started was being troll-y with the content and lyrics. He raps about gangster stuff so transparently, that most ears called it wack, when in reality, that was what was being seen as cool. Lil B might say like in his weird voice "I tote 50s. I got a strap. Im robbing then shopping. Nyahh" And people go like wtf. But when Lil Pump goes, "pull out a pump I shoot it, yeah. Go to the mall, I loot it, uh" And the little kids go crazy lol. I take it as Lil B 1) memeing that idea being cool when it actually isn't 2) pushing the line for how "hard" you have to act while still making cool sounding music. Lil B hits both points very well and I feel most people miss that. Lil B does critique other rappers by rapping what they rap.
one thing i feel like u gotta mention is viper, he also helped pioneer cloud rap js abt as far back as B while not reaching as wide of an audience still has an undeniable impact on hiphop
tbh polos and skinny jeans and all that started with kanye and wayne. and viper was really doing the cloud rap thing since ‘04-‘05. lil is super influential but i cant give him the credit for that really.
well done video! I am surprised you do not have many subscribers yet your so good at commentating and not boring. Keep up the great content! Just subscribed!
This video go crazy! It turned everything I knew about some of my favorite artists upside down. Edit: I’m no fan of this “cloud rap” genre or anything of its kind, but it is still crazy to me how far Lil B has reached with his career.
Only halfway through & this is way better than that cloutcancun garbage 🗑 like tenfold so detailed thanks for this I’ll leave a comment when I’m done about my 1st time hearing Lil B🧐

He's kinda the influential equivalent of the Velvet Underground (Lou Reed) of Hip Hop.

I spent 2011-2013 when I was in my early twenties listening to Lil B non stop (mixtapes, music videos on repeat daily) those were very good times.
I then moved on to listening to ASAP Rocky/mob, Chief Keef and then Yung Lean in 2014, which naturally introduced me to bladee & drain gang which I still listen to every day.
I can say with certainty that I would have never moved onto those other artists/sounds if I had not discovered Lil B in the first place.

Facts but that’s what makes him golden ‼️
that's the point, he's never in it for the money
@@WW-mj4nw Understood for that being the case for Lil B. But for others that follow his blueprint, monetary gain is the ultimate endgame for any career/profession.
@@iNeverHadMercy they're capitalist, he isn't. He did it out of pure love, thats what makes him special.
does he not really? I mean he's independent.

Lil B's influence transcends hip hop itself, by helping put Clams on a while generation of electronic musicians
