Lil B (formerly of the Pack) has made a name for himself online with his penchant for picking celebrity names and turning them into peculiar, stream-of-consciousness raps in which he boasts about his prowess in relation to said celeb.
His past conquests have included Miley Cyrus, Ellen DeGeneres and Paris Hilton. Now, Lil B has released his latest work, a track called "Justin Bieber."
"Bieber, Bieber, Bieber," he chants on the chorus, dropping his trademark "swag" ad-lib in between "Justin, Justin, Justin."
"Everybody knows Justin Bieber is my cousin," B raps. "Straight West Side, young Based God, it's nothing/ 55 Bieber, swag off the meter, 50 on my shh, 'cause I look like Bieber."
The Bay Area rap star has earned a cult following with his antics — he appeared in a super snug baby-blue V-neck tee at his Manhattan show last month — and recently released a solo effort, the digital release Angel Exodus. That project is the prelude to his next album, Glass Face.
Lil B also recently appeared on MTV News' "First Date" segment with Rya Backer, following in the footsteps of Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Pill and others. The pair went downtown for dinner, and Lil B, who calls himself the Based God and maintains more than 150 MySpace pages, explained that despite his theatrics, his music appeals to people who are true to themselves.
"Based music really is just doing what you feel, really letting the beats sink into you and letting the lyrics coat the beat," he said. "It's really just about being yourself, though, and being positive. Doing what you want to do."
