I keep telling nikkas but they don't listen. When people compare Lil B to Young Thug, Gucci Mane, Future, etc... I know they have no idea what they're talking about.
Sure Lil B is a joke rapper and all his songs are 'winking' at you, but he has a few genuinely unironic songs. The beats are gorgeous. The voice and flow is deep, and some of the rhymes are
Young Thug, Gucci, insert trash rapper can't make a song like "Open Thunder Eternal Slumber", "February's Confessions", "Giving Up" and "Real shyt From A Real nikka." They just can't. They don't have the intellect, the passion and the creativity.
I know nikkas that hate on Lil B just aren't paying attention, and 99% of the time, are dull bulbs who can't see creativity anyway. I'm not saying everyone has to love Lil B. I understand that troll rap is just not a cup of tea for a lot of people. But you have to at least understand and respect what he's doing. Dude's music is a playful encyclopedia of hip hop across regions and time periods. You have to be a hip hop head to notice and appreciate shyt like that.
Lil B fans are some of the smartest in hip hop history. Real talk. They're what Kendrick fans pretend to be.
