TH FALLY HAD A NEWS PEG TO HANG ON. NONE OF THAT NOISE MATTERS THE WAKE OF THE ALBUM’S RELEASE. AS IF THE OVERPENSATG, PARENTHIZED SUBTLE IM HAPPY DIDN'T MAKE APPARENT ENOUGH, IM GAY IS NOT AN ALBUM ABOUT HOMOSEXUALY. IN FACT, THE TOPIC WARRANTS ONLY A SGLE MENTN, TE LIL B TONGUE-OUT FASHN -- A SGLE THROWAWAY LE ASKG "WHY HE LL HIS ALBUM THAT?" HIS RPONSE: "BCH I DO WHAT I WANT AND THE TRACKS IS ILL."

THERE ARE VERY FEW AD LIBS OF "SWAG," NO BOASTS OF BCH, CHANTS OF DANCE STCTNS OR TNK-RATTLG LOW-END MADNS; STEAD 'S ALL HOOKLS SPIRUAL AND SOCPOLIL-MD REFLECTN OVER MELLOW, SAMPLE-DRIVEN PRODUCTN. HE'S BEEN DOG THIS PERDILLY OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, SPRKLG WORDS, TRACKS AND TAP OF SIGHT AND ENORMO PERSONAL HONTY BETWEEN HIS MORE VULGAR MOMENTS.

BUT THE SAD TTH IS THAT THOSE RERDS SIMPLY HAVEN'T BEEN AS POPULAR AS HIS MORE PLAYFUL ON. "SUCK MY DICK HO": 1.8 LN YOUTUBE VIEWS. "COLD WAR": 306K. BOTH STYL HAVE THEIR MERS, BUT FANS AND SUAL LISTENERS ARE QUE CLEARLY PAYG MORE ATTENTN TO HIS IGNORANT SI.

HE RAMBL AIMLSLY ON RERD, THAT'S HIS THG. BUT THE NTENT OF IM GAY IS NOTABLE THAT GIV PURPOSE TO THAT STREAM OF NSCNS. (NOT THAT HE NEED PURPOSE BEFORE, BUT HE HAS NOW.) HE'S GOT SO MUCH TROUBLE ON HIS MD THAT 'S OVERFLOWG. MATTERS OF RELIGN, RACISM, POVERTY, FAME, FATHERLS CHILDREN, TECHNOLOGY, VLENCE AND HATERS ARE ALL ADDRSED BY WAY OF LOOSELY NNECTED MOTIVATNAL PLATUS.

Many saw the move as a publicy stunt; however, the rapper stated that the tle is meant to be ed as the formal fn of ‘gay’ (merry) and as a msage of support to the LGBT muny.

LIL B, I’M GAY

Everythg I knew about Lil B up to this pot was enough to nvce he'd be sh, om the /b/-que sloganeerg that surrounds him, to the fact he's earned a very vol cult followg that are surprisgly quiet about what he sounds like or why he's good, to the fact that one of his albums is tagged as ambient, to the fact that he's lled his new album I'm Gay. I was actually really pleased when I first heard that, bee 's about damn time somebody addrsed the homophobia hip-hop om wh, but then the ial reviews me out and was revealed that there wasn't a sgle le on the whole album about beg gay or about homophobia - oh, and cintally, he'd amend the tle so had (I'm Happy) as a qualifier. After announcg the tle of his album would be I’m Gay, the California native’s name was plastered mastream prs clippgs om the Huffgton Post to CNN.

I’m Gay and his last mixtape, Bch Mob Vol. Like Angels Exod, I’m Gay is fluenced by tradnal East Coast boom-bap productn styl. For this reason, Lil B die-hards may acce I’m Gay of panrg to hip-hop purists; realy, though, the project’s productn is high qualy and ventive.
