Lil B The BasedGod

















The man, no wait, the legend pictured above is the one and only Lil B, other wise known as the Based God. He is one of the most positive and rawest rappers alive. Just look at how happy he is in this photo! Lil B has influenced everyone in the rap game from 2Pac to Lil Wayne. The most versatile rapper ever to bless the rap game, Lil B can go from heavily thuggin' in a song such as Lil B - Bill Bellamy, to showin' love to everyone and everything in the universe in songs such as Lil B - I Love You and Lil B - No Black Person Is Ugly. Supporters of Lil B and the Based God are known as Task Force. The first step to becoming part of Task Force you must first become based. 

“Based means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do. Being positive. When I was younger, based was a negative term that meant like dopehead, or basehead. People used to make fun of me. They was like, ‘You’re based.’ They’d use it as a negative. And what I did was turn that negative into a positive. I started embracing it like, ‘Yeah, I’m based.’ I made it mine. I embedded it in my head. Based is positive.” ~Lil. B, BASED GOD

The purpose of the Task Force is to protect Lil B and the Based God daily, spread the word and scripture of the Based God, and to keep the fake based out of Based World. A member of Task Force myself since 2012, I have been helping teach many others of Lil B's musical stylings since I opened my eyes to his beautiful positive ways. Lil B doesn't sell merchandise, so in order to show I'm based, I rock a pink bandana on my head, a sign of a fellow based comrade. Aside from making music, Lil B has given lectures at universities such as MIT and NYU. Lil B is also a pioneer in dance, being the creator of the cooking dance, a Based World staple. 



To show gratitude to the Based God for his many blessings, the customary way of showing thanks is to say, "THANK YOU BASEDGOD!" Don't be fooled though, just because someone says, "thank you based god" does not mean they are based and support Lil B. My best friend and fellow Based World citizen, Justin, has witnessed this firsthand. A girl at his school said "thank you basedgod," but when he asked her if she knows who Lil B the Based God is, she said, "who's that?" *sigh* It is our duty as Task Force members to weed out these fake based people and either teach them about the Based God or ban them from Based World.


To end this sermon of the man, the myth, the legend, Lil B the BasedGod, I shall gift you with links to the songs mentioned above.

Thank You Based God.
