#based god classics

[guidetothebasedgod]

I think this is like for sure (correctly) considered one of Based God’s most undisputed classics by listeners far and wide.  The BasedGod’s Layer is of course a strong & interesting introduction for God’s Father, but I Own Swag is the ultimate banger that starts the mixtape off just right.  Putting the beat from David Banner’s Swag in a body bag, this shit slaps for days, baby. 

Opening verse: flames

Bitch I own swag /  I’mma star like I’m in SAG / I’m so fab like I’m in Sac / I tote that Tec, and I hold that Mac / Got a few scratches up on that gun / I straight spit like I ain't got no tongue / Bitch came asking me questions / "Where's my car?" /  Bitch which one?! 

Most of the lyrics are pretty memorable, actually.  But it’s important to recognize the incredible moment where Based God belts out some truth:

You know I'm more famous than you, than you / And I can do everything that you can't do, or try to

Other stray thought: Is this the origin of Obama Based God?

the FINAL TRACK on red flame.  This shit slaps.  As is the case with many Lil B tracks, he starts off with a shout out to the haters. Remind em, let em know. Because this is some important subject matter. 

This is a coming of age story. Lil Boss started as a child, and emerged a legend.

Hand down niggas, I ain’t ask for shit / Except freedom of a judge, I was a bastard kid /  But my dad wasn’t around, that’s so weird /  And he tried to show me love, father I moved / Don’t know what a man is / Grew a beard not knowing what the strands is / Paint from the canvas / They ain’t put me on the original version / Now Lil B is here, the mythical version

Remember Red Flame & remember Lil B.

“Thank y’all for listening to Red Flame the whole way through and not skipping a song, that’s the definition of a classic.”

Bless u and thank you, based god.

This is one of the legendary secret tracks on Red Flame.  If you want to have a private celebration in the based world of your mind, New York Subway can take you there.  Lil B’s brilliant sampling of Bocelli’s Con te Partiro fuels the triumphant tone of the track.  B gives it a brief nod when he refers to the Godfather eating pasta. 

The other 2/3rds of the vibe are fueled by a mixture of melancholy nostalgia and somewhat standard Based God stream of consciousness.  Turn on your Sega Genesis. You feel me? Power Rangers on cable access.  He even mentions a fucking Game Genie as a reason for his success.  B explains that even the most minute experiences from his life were informative for him.

“As I receive my gifts, no winter time / thank god I’m eatin’ boy, no dinner time”

“I don’t get on a lot of people’s songs / cuz they don’t understand, nigga I did it this long / Based God, I done traveled so far / Lil B, nigga, I done met God”

“Man, New York looks so beautiful right now / Feel so grown in this restaurant, lookin’ outside / All these cars goin’ by / New York in the wintertime is such a beautiful place”

Here it is, the moment we finally say Goodbye to Blue Flame. Goodbye starts strong with an incredible sample of Air Supply's track of the same name.  It's Lil B. Spark up to this real fast.

"Everything not gold, and everything don't glitter / summer time I might shiver, winter time I might bake"

"Don't think about it, cause we movin' autopilot"

"Postin' up with European style, rich and underrated / settle for the top, yea nigga that's an understatement"

I fuckin' choked a bitch. Oh my god I'm Mel Gibson. oh my god, I'm a actor, I'm a rapper.  In Mel Gibson Lil B ascertains the dichotomy between fucking like an actor versus a rapper. 

"thirty on my dick and I'm high like my groupies / Ten on my dick cuz my diamonds white like Snoopy"

"Cocaine Based God, bitch La Costra Nostra / Zips in the closet, money in the sofa"

"Bitch my name Brandon, Lil B my main ho / dress that bitch up, then you get what you signed fo'"

The track that set Lil Wayne free.  You already know what it is.  Lil B takes it to suckas in this fast paced track sampling 50 Shots Set it Off that would inevitably lead to his collaboration with Wayne on Grove St. Party.

"AR-15 with the laser / Hand grenades, open shop, then erase ya"

"30 on my dick cause lil wodie on the news / 20 on my dick cause I'm in the New York Times"

"Hate on me your head looking like spaghetti"
