Lil B's NYU Lecture (Audio)

When news hit us that Lil B, aka the Based God himself, would grace the New York University with a guest lecture, it was obvious that some philosophical gems would be shared during this historical event. Dressed in a neon green T-shirt with a matching neck scarf and sporting a bindi, the Berkley native took over the podium to enlighten those who were lucky enough to purchase a ticket in time. Pitchfork was on location and collected the most noteworthy comments and remarks.

“I’m the first rapper to adopt a tabby cat. I adopted it straight from the ASPCA, you feel me?”

“When I was younger, I didn’t even know how to walk. I was so self-conscious.”

“Every single person you meet, look at them like a golden million dollar baby.”

“I was having these big ant problems in my house. As I was studying these ant colonies. It’s like man, they have their own communities too. I’m there with them.”

“I’m out here trying to get my Mitt Romney on.”

“You guys are the first to hear it: I’m actually releasing my rock album. This is gonna be some garage punk. This one’s for the rebels. Look out for the Lil B rock record, California Boy.”

“Let’s stop fracking. Who knows about hydraulic fracking? I’m like whodie, get that oil out the ocean!”

“Real talk, you guys are about to freak out because I got a song with one of the biggest artists on Earth coming.”

At one point, Lil B laid on a table and imitated himself going to sleep, whispering, “Honesty, integrity, friendship, passion…”

“Until further notice, I’m paying taxes and I’m loving it.”

You can experience the full audio and some clips of the lecture, that surfaced on YouTube above and below.
