All Hail Based God
Lil B- Realist Alive (Internet 2010) So wow, over the last 24 hours Lil B mania really seems to have hit the internet, with his shit causing a firestorm everywhere from 2dopeboyz to the Smoking Section to Pitchfork and the Washington Post. It’s interesting, because there has definitely been a critical circle led by Noz that has been on this dude for the last year, and the readers of...
