The most surprising song of last week came from 21 year old Bay Area emcee Lil B. “Base For Your Face” features guest spots from Phonte and Jean Grae and production from 9th Wonder. The self-proclaimed BasedGod seemed to be the odd man out on his own track. 9th explained how the song came to be.
“Lil B reached out to me 3 or 4 months ago on Twitter and told me he’s a big fan of myself and Murs,” 9th told Vibe. “At the time I didn’t know who he was, so I Google’d his stuff, and I was like “ooo-kay” [Laughs]. I saw “Wonton Soup“ and all that. Then, the Twitter world started going crazy off the fact that I was even talking to Lil B.”
“It wasn’t until he released a record with Tony Yayo called “Based”, that Khrysis told me to check out. I heard it and he was saying some stuff on there — I was digging it — so of course I hit him back on Twitter to tell him. He was just really adamant about getting up. I told him if we get up — you can’t do no ‘Wonton Soup’ [Laughs]. And he knew it.”
It ended up being a phone call between the two that convinced 9th that B was for real.
“I told [Lil B] that he could be the reincarnation of Too Short. Like I always thought Wiz Khalifa was the reincarnation of DJ Quik. B could carry the torch. I got a lot of respect for that kid — he’s brilliant.”

that goes to show you this game is based on what people gossip about these producers and establish artists could careless about the up and coming artists that nobody heard about
“the Twitter world started going crazy off the fact that I was even talking to Lil B.â€
THATS WHY YOU EVEN DECIDED TO FUKS WIT HIM???
Rap is gay now
yea foreal but let ah nigga can really spit hit dez mofo’s up
GTFOH with that bullshit. there are real artists out there with shit worth producing and putting out. fuck a lil b. i could give a fuck how “positive” or “#based” he is, he makes wack music. period.
I agree this nigga is so trash. 9th wonder production on that illusions of grandeur bullshit is amazing but Lil b embarasses himself is everything a freestyle that he does cant rhyme fucks verse up smh. And people are actually co-signing this bitch. Unreal
Is he serious? wiz khalifa the reincarnation of DJ Quik??? He’ll be co-signing and producing for Justin Bieber next
thats what i was gonna post. How is Wiz the reincarnation of Quik? hahaha 9th, you lost homie.
Yeah, thats a slap to the face of dj quik…wiz kalifa would be lucky to even figure out how to turn a keyboard/drum machine on. Forget even thinking he could make a beat on any of that equipment like dj quik.
damn. its funny how mofukas will take thier time to hate on someone elese for bustn their ass to get where their at…
and fuck an up and coming rapper that isnt savvy enough to use the media and resources at their disposal to blow up or get a buzz on their own.
reguardless of how u feel about his music, lil b is “WINNING” if only for the simple fact that you know enough of him to hate on. get a fucking life losers…
you must be the reincarnation of WEAK SAUCE.
What’s wrong with all the haters? Dude went to 9th for a beat and got Phonte and Jean Grae on the track. What does this mean? Dude is willing to attempt to make a dope record. Unlike many others who don’t even try. Cut him and 9th some slack.

“I told [Lil B] that he could be the reincarnation of Too Short” really? first of all, hes not close to too short, second of all, too short isnt fucken dead.
9th Wonder should be ashamed for working with that based faggot. He is worse than soulja boy yet 9th is co-signing him. He is trash, nigga can’t rhyme and just yells swag swag. Coon ass nigga
THANK YOU BASED GOD
All you faggots dont even know Lil B music but you hate regardless
uh, nah, I’m pretty sure we’ve all heard his garbage ass tracks and freestyles. you can lie to us, but not yourself… be real.
LOL, Lil B is so humble. Im sure he was thinking , “yeah ok 9th Wonder, im gonna listen to your expert opinion on “wonton soup.”
Wonton Soup > > 9th Wonder whole catalog. But I digress. Base For Your Fase, cool song.
