Motivation

Equall parts Prince and Tupac, Lil B aka Based God, is an eccentric, ambitious rapper who came up with the Bay Area's The Pack. Dude has put out thousands (yeah that's right) of tracks since going solo. If you haven't heard of him he's a highly controversial rapper with influences that include RZA, MF DOOM, and Jean Grae. You might want to check out this article on NPR about him. Get you up to speed. Here's an excerpt from that article:  

He raps about cat care and back pain. He raps about black liberation and becoming a deity. He jokes about being a nerd. He laments materialism and claims to be an incredibly wealthy ladies man in the same breath. From a distance it would be easy to mistake him for an eccentric hiccup in the long line of in-the-moment pop rappers, but further inspection reveals a considerably more complex artist, one whose body of work look less like a musical catalog than a broad conceptual cross-media art project, or perhaps a relentless soundtrack to one young man's compulsive disorder.

Check out the video for Motivation below, a track off his new LP Angels Exodus. According to the label this digital-only album will serve as a prelude to his upcoming album Glass Face.
