Sounds like the Based God has a universal love of mankind.

This past weekend, Lil B announced to the crowd at Coachella that he’d be titling his upcoming album I’m Gay. While the Pack alum followed up by stating he was in fact heterosexual, he advised that titling the album such – despite the controversy – was merely a pun on being happy. “Words don’t mean s**t,” Lil B stated per HipHopDX. However, The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, otherwise known as GLAAD had something different to say. Well, it wasn’t “glad” tidings.

“As a lyricist, Lil B knows that words matter,” a spokesperson for GLAAD told XXLmag.com. “Slurs have the power to fuel intolerance. We hope that Lil B’s album title is not just a gimmick, and is really a sincere attempt to be an ally. He has the platform and the voice. We hope he uses it in a positive way.”

Lil B’s solo career has been saturated with moments of controversy. From questionable lyrics and songs titled “Justin Bieber” to outrageous tweets about Kanye West, discussions on whether or not the XXL Freshman 2011 pick has a place as a frontrunner in hip hop have run rampant since his smash single “Wonton Soup” hit the streets. Since then, it’s been something of a cult following for the Based God. However, fans are wondering if I’m Gay is a publicity stunt or a declaration.

“Uhhh why is Lil B album called I'm Gay?” @nenenene_ asks. “Wait so is Lil B gay or just named his album that?” wonders @BeezyLaBee.

Regardless of fact or fiction, the title has enough shock value to keep people guessing. “Aw yeah and Lil B gay,” states @ShexObeyxTray, while @DJStoutJunt didn’t take the title too literally. “[It’s] B/c he's ‘not gay’”, the user explains. “Yeah, I think it's stupid too.”

Yo CRS, I think I already know the answer but did you get a chance to check the vitals on that KRIT? I'm ready to completely give up hope.

lmao GLAAD responding to the Based God's plans. It would be so hilarious if he did some electro pop rap songs to attract some gay fans, and became a based Lady Gaga

Lil B's entire career is based on getting attention, from tweeting a million different celebs in all CAPITAL LETTERS to make sure they notice his tweet, to making songs dedicated to various celebrities, and to give his album a seemingly controversial title so he can get free publicity.

GLAAD spokesperson should listen to his songs. Clearly to him words don't matter. Totally devoid of lyricism.

Edit: I went to diamond supply company and no covert coup dl link. *RAGE*

Damn, the tracks I heard were nice. I was looking forward to kicking the $10 or whatever for the CD for the good work.

That and I don't really do MP3s anymore since I upgraded my audio situation.

edit: Good shit Phoenix

10 tracks. Thought it would be more but oh well, if it's dope it's dope - never been into rap albums with an onslaught of songs. I added Flying Iron to mine (that dope ass song featuring Fiend).

Gonna give the new Del album a listen, not expecting too much from it though.

Goddamn. Curren$y did it again. Covert Coup is amazing.
I was worried I wouldn't like it after getting so used to him rapping over Ski Beatz tracks, but I severely underestimated Alchemist.

They are indeed the uncompressed files. It is a CD-R disc though. Also, I feel a little ripped off paying $20 for a CD-R disc with an insert inside a plastic case. Especially when I payed $16 bucks for Oneirology which had much more superior packaging. CD is really good though so that helps.

Here's a picture of some waveforms.

Flying Iron is one of the sickest tracks I've heard in a long time. That song was the reason I found out about the Menahan Street Band, where the instrumental originates from. There's a Jay-Z and Kid Cudi sample on their album too. Highly recommend everyone pick it up.

That's the same sample as Kendrick Lamar's Faith, which has a better use of the instrumental with BJ The Chicago Kid killing it on the hook. Gonna check out the band now.

Coming from someone who likes Curren$y's stuff, but isn't the biggest fan, Covert Coup is pretty damn good. Alchemist did work.

I just wish of the songs were a little longer, or let the beat ride for 30 seconds.
