Lil B Waters Down His ‘I’m Gay’ Album Title, But Makes Statement With Artwork
Posted by Mikey Fresh under Life Beyond Rap[10] Comments
Despite going through some technical problems and missing his MTV RapFix interview earlier today, Sway unveiled Lil B’s controversial I’m Gay album cover on the program. But to our surprise the words “I’m Happy” appear in parenthesis after the title. I get it, I guess. But the dopest part of it is that B’s cover takes on influence from the Ernie Barnes’ classic works he was the guy who did the Good Times painting.
In other based news, B has collaborated with Lil Wayne on a record that should be included on Weezy’s next mixtape. Mack Maine says the tape is called Sorry 4 The Wait.

I’m sorry, I don’t get the big “statement” here at all. How does it tie in with the title? I love how Lil B’s songs are pure ignorance but every one would have you thinking he’s some genius with this big message hidden in his lyrics. FOH!

whats the statement? “I know how to steal artwork from a dude that happens to have the last name of Gaye.”

The “Gay Mafia” put the pressure on him lol Incredible
They made him define the title of his album on the cover lol
I still think he should have kept just the “Im Gay” title. leave it up to interpretation, once you second guess yourself and worry about offending yourself you only setting yourself up for disapointment.

rap is trash anyway. Black on Black crime the educations system, the family structure, lack of entrepreneurs. all this increased in magnitude after this so called art form came in to existence.
a culture can’t be sold to you. pull your pants up and pick up a book.
Our community depends on it.

I Just Dont See His Appeal. He Should Have Changed The Bannner From Mental Freedom To Mental Retardation Because That Title Suits Him Better. If Lil B Is A God Then Im An Atheist
