Did every sports commentator have to be athletic? Or any critique? It's a weird standard.

I don't know how you got the impression i thought ODB was putting on an act, that dude robbed a liquor store on camera.

All i'm saying is weird characters like Lil B have plenty of room in the genre, and might have more positive influence then would seem.

If lil b was just a worse version of soulja boi why would producers like 9th wonder be drawn to him? or fellow cult humorists like andy milonakis? Those dudes haven't given fiftytyson love, or mtvriffraff, trust me they'res plenty of people who appear to be like lil b.

9th wonder is in the industry, and talented, and so by your logic that puts him in a good position to judge, as he, as well as many artists, many outside of hip hop, have openly supported lil b.

Editing and shooting a new video everyday takes work. He actually picks some pretty interesting locales, and edits them better then half the video's official rappers have of themselves at the strip club or whatever.

Well the way I view it is sports announcers or movie critics are in their own business. They aren't competing with the players or actors or whatever. Lil B is a rapper who is making fun of other rappers, but can't even rap himself. It's like a high school bench-warmer posting videos everyday dissing LeBron James.

His videos are pretty good sometimes, I'll say that. And as for guys working with him, it's cause they see him on the rise and about to be more popular to the general public and everyone is gonna make a good dollar off it. It's a shame 9th wonder wastes beats on him, but guarantee he is getting PAID. I just don't think the "joke" is that funny, or funny enough to warrant him being so popular. It's just a guy with no talent who makes fun of other guys with no talent and I don't see the appeal to be honest.

The appeal is everything matious just said up there...people have this inflated opinion that he's something that he is definitely NOT.

There are people that just like him because the majority of the public just loves stupid shit period. Then there are the others like Matious that are defending him and trying to blow him up to be something that he isn't and reading way too deep into the stupid things that he raps about on the surface. At the end of the day, he's just horrible and people think he's "interesting" because he's doing something that they haven't seen in a bit.

Before even seeing your post I was gonna edit mine, but I'll just say now that I should've said that I see the appeal to others, but it is not appealing to myself.

Okay. I'm going to break down all the funny things going down in this video.

1.) the beat, so serious and wanna be-avant garde,

2.) The mixtape is called illusions of grandeur which he pronounces incorrectly.

3.) "I was a robber turned positive"

4.) "one bottle of alchohol, 2 people with bad thoughts"

5.) Then he says, "if you aint a robber your not going to understand this"

Come on, am i just going crazy...nobody else finds this funny? Like, you guys make it sound like im really trying to find stuff i like about this guy. But everything he says is just funny, some general vague statement, it's like some new form of sarcasm.

I keep avoiding downloading this mixtape because I don't like to guy and I don't want to listen to the crap he puts out and review it but I might still do it anyways. Not for this week though I already have three lined up

I'm starting to notice this and I might slightly respect him for his grind/hustle just like I respect Lil Wayne's hustle.

I think Lil b should do a 2nd book, in the same vein as Jim Morrison, full of poetry and original wordplay.

This is an interesting contrast.
