Inner breathlessness, outer restlessness By the time I caught up to freedom I was out of breath Grandma asked me what I'm running for I guess I'm out for the same thing the sun is sunning for What mothers birth their youngens for And some say Jesus coming for For all I know the earth is spinning slow Suns at half mast 'cause masses ain't aglow On bended knee, prostrate before an altered tree I've made the forest suit me Tables and chairs Papers and prayers Matter versus spirit A metal ladder A wooden cross A plastic bottle of water A mandala encased in glass A spirit encased in flesh Sound from shaped hollows The thickest of mucus released from heightened passion A man that cries in his sleep A truth that has gone out of fashion A mode of expression A paint splattered wall A carton of cigarettes A bouquet of corpses A dying forest A nurtured garden A privatized prison A candle with a broken wick A puddle that reflects the sun A piece of paper with my name on it I'm surrounded I surrender All All that I am I have been All I have been has been a long time coming I am becoming all that I am The spittle that surrounds the mouth-piece of the flute Unheard, yet felt A gathered wetness A quiet moisture Sound trapped in a bubble Released into wind Wind fellows and land merchants We are history's detergent Water soluble, light particles, articles of cleansing breath Articles amending death These words are not tools of communication They are shards of metal Dropped from eight story windows They are waterfalls and gas leaks Aged thoughts rolled in tobacco leaf The tools of a trade Barbers barred, barred of barters Catch phrases and misunderstandings But they are not what I feel when I am alone Surrounded by everything and nothing And there isn't a word or phrase to be caught A verse to be recited A man to de-fill my being in those moments I am blankness, the contained center of an "O" The pyramidic containment of an "A" I stand in the middle of all that I have learned All that I have memorized All that I've known by heart Unable to reach any of it There is no sadness There is no bliss It is a forgotten memory A memorable escape route that only is found by not looking There, in the spine of the dictionary the words are worthless They are a mere weight pressing against my thoughtlessness But then, who else can speak of thoughtlessness with such confidence Who else has learned to sling these ancient ideas like dead rats held by their tails so as not to infect this newly oiled skin I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly There are no wings more weighted I too have felt a heaviness The stare of man guessing at my being Yes I am homeless A homeless man making offerings to the after-future Sculpting rubber tree forests out of worn tires and shoe soles A nation unified in exhale A cloud of smoke A native pipe ceremony All the gathered cigarette butts piled in heaps Snow covered mountains Lipsticks smeared and shriveled Offerings to an afterworld Tattoo guns and plastic wrappers Broken zippers and dead eyed dolls It's all overwhelming me, oak and elming me I have seeded a forest of myself Little books from tall trees It matters not what this paper be made of Give me notebooks made of human flesh Dried on steel hooks and nooses Make uses of use, uses of us It's all overwhelming me, oak and elming me I have seeded a forest of myself Little books from tall trees On bended knee Prostrate before an altered tree I've made the forest suit me Tables and chairs Papers and prayers Matter vs. spirit, through meditation I program my heart to beat breakbeats and hum basslines on exhalation 10 points if you know what that's from without google
What are you trying to prove, that you are some kind of better because you listen to a certain type of music? The ego
nope. just saying there is a WHOLE WORLD of hip hop artists who have more talent in their pinky fingers, than lil b will ever have. don't understand why you feel the need to hype such a wack rapper, that's all.
I'm not hyping shit, you must be confused. Just because I rebuttal on a discussion means I am hyping him up?
ummm you are posting his videos whilst defending his music??? that's hyping to me, brah [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xYL41PiuPg]Ego Tripping-Nikki Giovanni - YouTube[/ame]
It's shameful and comical how you REALLY think this guy is revolutionary, he's a messiah and what he's speaking is fucking groundbreaking? How deluded are you? Yes yes, we're in the age of information. No fucking way, and this technology is actually hurting the human race and raping the planet. We're the first species that has the power to destroy our own home. Maybe you should watch this Cosmos instead of listening to shitty music. That's eloquence, but instead you need a 1 hour lecture to decipher ebonics. Cool story, you think this isn't known? Hmm... I have no idea though, could is possibly be because people like lil B are regressing his entire fan base into babbling morons? Saying BASED GOD and shit?

When did I say he was a messiah or what he was saying was groundbreaking? I know you like to make shit up to make your argument sound better but just quit it lmao. "how deluded are you?" At this point, me arguing back and forth with you 2 is childish. So based of me to recognize that. RARE REVOLUTIONARY GROUNDBREAKING
You're mentally incompetent, so of course you wouldn't understand. You linked a UC Berkely lecture clearly to try and prove that his lyrics are anything but babble. Trying to deceive people that what his lyrics say somehow have enough merit to be discussed among students to learn some amazing shit. Uhh why else would you link it? Go do your 10x pushups per post, you don't have enough brain power to critically analyze things. Name-Calling/Disrespect is not allowed here. - KSR
damn ive always just lurked these forums but reading this thread made me so angry idgaf if im bumping a thread from a week ago lil b makes songs like "wonton soup" and "pretty bitch" to make fun of the mainstream music that is out today; songs where people just talk about killing people and fucking bitches instead of stuff they really care about. this movement has also worked in his favour because its got him noticed, whereas he wouldnt necessarily have been as widely known as he is now if he was just producing his normal good music, as there are tons of unknown but very talented artists out there. lil b gets messages across and promotes positivity in his real songs, and if you look hard enough you can find some where he really demonstrates his lyrical talent. there are also a few songs where lil b talks about the generic guns and shit but raps well, just to showcase his talent as more people will probably listen to that kind of music. examples of all types of lyrical lil b songs: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLKuoklj1bo]Lil B - "Motivation" [Music Video] - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3Mxhsgjp9A]Lil B - Sending Shots EXTREMELY RARE BASED MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTED BY LIL B!!!!!! - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxE5CwnmLCI&feature=relmfu]Lil B - I Am The Hood(MUSIC VIDEO) DIRECTED BY LIL B!!
