Quote: "In a 1994 Spin magazine column, critic Danyel Smith summed up Tupac Shakur's philosophy as such: "He feels his mania is what we all have and deny, that insanity is a rational adjustment to an insane world." Lil B roughly updates this thesis for the web era. His catalog and persona suggest that the simple act of turning on a computer is an inherent concession to madness. [...] The two share a certain kinetic ricochet between hero and villain, between life and performance. Both look the black male stereotype squarely in the face and embrace it in the most extreme way possible, only to immediately counter it by snapping their character right back to its antithesis. To some this is hypocrisy; to Tupac it was a brutal truth. To Lil B it's just one small fragment of his everything." Accessed Sep. 2020

Quote: "Self-parody is foreign to some rap artists, but others, like Lil Wayne of New Orleans and Snoop Dogg of Long Beach, thrive on exaggerations and clowning in their videos. Snoop's perosna is the sly trickster, smooth and calm beyond the fray. All successful rappers have to do both tricksters of imaginative language and tricky dances. Lil Wayne is a good example of this, and despite his sagging pants and his holding a mike instead of a flute, the visual impression of his stomp-romp dance performance can be Kokopelli-like."
