Why do people say Lil B influenced hip hop when most rappers (and rap fans) see him as a joke?
because hip hop needed a sense of humor

Lil B was a great deconstruction of rap. But rappers just started taking it at face value and started thinking "Oh, bad means good!" See: Playboi Carti.

I don't think playboi Carti thinks bad means good. I think Carti just doesn't give a fuck and barely wants to be a rapper
He's the Andy Kaufman of hip-hop

yesssssssssssss
Those soundcloud rappers that made it big by rapping nonsensically over a beat? They were influenced by Lil B. Those rappers that used ethereal beats from the cloud rap hype of the early 2010s? They were influenced by Lil B. The majority of modern rappers were influenced by Lil B's style of rapping, whether it was directly from them listening to Wonton Soup and becoming inspired, or indirectly by listening to instrumentals by Clams Casino-type producers and rapping over them.
His adlibs are revolutionary ("Martha Stuart","Yeah I flex bitches so what", "I look great", "Dr Phil"

"Ya feel me"
"Slow down based god, Slow down Lil B"
"Scrumptious"
"Look at me"
"Im thuggin"
"Fo rilla"

That's a stretch, bro

Because his cancerous fanbase is trying to convince themselves his work is of value.

Hip hop was funny for decades. Even serious rappers were funny. We even had dedicated clown rappers that did nothing but clown, they just weren't the majority.
>>74851545
A lot of rappers pay respect to lil b, and a lot of people don't kno that
>>74851545
He is the Frank Zappa of hip-hop.
>the bitch want child support? She on life support
Not even joking when I say The Bitch is a national treasure.

1:00-2:00 cuz bitch mob is serious

His relevance with mainstream hip hop was a slow burn. If you made this post in 2012 you'd have a point, but look around (and listen) dude. I do admit that Lil B fell off after 2013 though.
Kool Keith birthed Lil B let it b known

His studio burnt down 3 years ago which killed his growth. Up till then he was getting >500,000 views on every music video he uploaded (a lot) but the pretty bitch has finally returned and hes repping the bitch harder than ever.
