I’ve had this debate a few times with different people. Well…I don’t know if it could necessarily be called a “debate”. It usually goes like this… “Why the fuck do you like Lil B? He’s terrible” and then my answer usually goes something like “Well, I don’t think he is an awesome rapper or anything, but he is definitely an interesting hip hop experiment…”
Or something wanky to that extent. But really, the dude is an interesting rapper…he makes a video basically every week, he has a fucking ambient rap album, about a thousand myspace profiles with unique songs on each, he’s been wearing the same pair of shitty Vans for about 7 years (which seems minor, but in the footwear-obsessed rap world, I count it as significant), he name checks Antony and the Johnsons as one of his top 5 favorite new MC’s, and his only official release is a self-help book written via email and text message.
Does this always add up to good rap? No. But in there, spread thin through all the output is some greatness, and for what its worth, he is not formulaic. So I think we need him out there pushing the boundaries, no matter how offensive to “rap” sensibility he may be.
Anyway, one of his signature lines is “Hoes on my dick cuz I look like (insert crazy name like “Jesus” “Mel Gibson”, etc.)” and its awesome. After his first New York show, my friend Jesse and I had a blast running through the streets thinking of new people/things to look like. “Hoes on my dick cuz I look like MAYONNAISE” BAHAHAHAHA. See? Hilarious.
So the idea hit me to make another (allegedly) hilarious t shirt. This is a prototype, if you want to buy one, hit me up warnberh at gmail dot com. I will only charge 25 bucks each. Custom made! Hoes on my dick cuz I look like I make iron-on t-shirts!
