Lil B Just Released Another “Classical” Album, Tears 4 God

January 03, 2013



Lil B's wordless, self-produced, synth-noodling "classical" albums are like the just-as-tone-deaf counterpoint to his most distasteful rap lyrics, proof he's not afraid to cook in corners unappealing to the average listener. If you consider his whole body of work the conceptual statement, and not just the individual releases, stylistic breadth is definitely worth something—it's far more unclear whether that worth equals $10, Tears 4 God’s asking price. One small but important point: his newest "classical" effort, just like his last one Choices and Flowers, is attributed to The Basedgod, and not Lil B "The BasedGod," the name he uses on his umpteen mixtapes. Lil B acknowledges the personality split, too, and by separating the two artists, seemingly licenses people like me to really not care about Tears, while still chomping at the bit for Pink Flame. But click through to iTunes, you know you're curious.
