Lil B - Trapped In Prison
Artist: Lil B
Producer: Lou Pocus
Album: I'm Gay (I'm Happy)
Label: Unsigned
When Wonton Soup was buzzing last August, my cousin asked me what I thought about Lil B. I told her that The Pack standout was like the Jim Carrey of rap. Beneath the outrageous and comic antics there was a serious artist lurking, and just like Etermal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind flipped my opinion of Carrey, new Lil B single Trapped in Prison may just change what people think about the Based God. Produced by Lou Pocus, who provides a mellow and dark beat that’s doesn’t cook, it simmers, Lil B discusses his life’s struggles in the United States, comparing the average man’s mental inhibition to being trapped (no closet) in a figurative prison. Whether Trapped is the sign of a more permanent musical style or merely a one-time thing, B appears to be more focused on displaying who he really is as an artist. I’m not saying that his recently released album I’m Gay (I’m Happy) will be his Illmatic, but balancing swag records with others that ooze positivity and seriousness will help him stick around.

I respect Lil B for the success that he has created for himself, but I cannot say I love (or like) his music much. "Trapped in Prison" is a million times better than anything I've heard from him in the past (save for that one joint he did with 9th Wonder), but its still just average to me. Maybe the full new album will change my mind!?

Lil B surprised me with this new album he has a positive message in every single song, not to mention the ridiculously dope production found all throughout the album, but his skills on the mic need some work

I see where dude was going but he's trying a little hard to have substance. Way better than than what I heard. I just heard 2 of his past records "Im Paris Hilton" and something else and its disturbing 3 for the effort.

It's better than I've expected, but still I don't see what is the big deal about this guy.
