Lil B's last song was an uplifting, heartfelt ode to black beauty entitled "No Black Person Is Ugly." He's now followed that up with a track that, on the surface, seems to tote a polar opposite sentiment. "Up The Murder Rate" is a tongue-in-cheek take on violence in hip-hop, perhaps stemming from Chief Keef's assertion that his next mixtape will "raise the murder rate."
The Mr. Collipark-produced track also contains a clever interpolation of The Ying-Yang Twins' "Wait (The Whisper Song)," and rides on an old-school, hyphy style beat.
The Based God works in mysterious ways, but at least he continues to release music with powerful messages, no matter how oddly he delivers them.
Quotable Lyrics:
Come here girl, let me whisper in your ear
Bitch I got this gun and you might get killed
Take your clothes off, take your clothes off
Yeah I got a gun, you gon' take a loss
