Lil B changes my mind... again.

Like I said in my previous post, Lil B has had me on the fence, leading to constant alterations of my opinion on him. I think a recent comment has made my position concrete. Yes, his album was better than expected, partially because of the extremely low expectations and partially because it was a decent album. At best it is slightly above average. But of course, The Based God has a high opinion of it.

In a recent interview with Vibe magazine he claimed:
"I'm Gay is going to be one of the most classic albums to ever touch down in hiphop. Once you hear the music and see the measures I'm going through for the people, it'll be one of the Tupacs, the Biggie Smalls, the Lil Waynes, the DMXs, the Black Robs, the Beanie Sigels, the Jay-Zs, the Commons, the Kanye Wests, The Lupe Fiascos. It's just goin' to be real hard, the real love, the real struggle, the real pain. It's goin' to be somethin' that uplifts people. Let me be the human sacrifice for the people. If I got to be the person that helps the world get better, let that be. If I gota go through pain so the next generation can be free and happy...let that be." Dude come on. Don't go comparing yourself to the greatest the game's ever seen because of a decent project. Get out of here with that shit. You're not Gandhi, you're not MLK; you're not a martyr at all. To further that thought, Biggie and Pac were both shot down for their beliefs and music so maybe they could be considered martyrs. Lil B without a doubt cannot be. I retract my positive statements about him, at least until he does something mind-blowing on the opposite end of the spectrum.
