01 Jul Lil B – I’m Gay | Album Review

“Has Hip Hop really come to this?" Whilst it may not be a direct quote taken from anyone, it certainly expresses the opinion of many, many fans who have been abhorred as to what has surfaced in recent years. For all the Dougie-ing, blasphemic and skinny jeans wearing hipsters which have been vehemently argued against, the emergence of Berkeley, California’s Lil B has probably caused the biggest outcries. Creating dozens upon dozens of material composed of ridiculously simplistic rhyme schemes on bizarre topics, the professed ‘Based God’ took it a step further by announcing that the name of his album would be entitled I’m Gay … Well, the less said about the controversial album title, the better, the real test now is whether or not the XXL Freshman’s ‘content’ can fan the flames of disdain from the outside public.
