Lil B - Dior Paint

Lil B transcends any criticism. He really is doing something completely different from anyone in music ever. Dior Paint really is one of the most beautiful albums I've heard in a long time.
This is not a rap album, this is not an ambient album, this is just Lil B "The BasedGOD" in his most pure form, talking and singing like some black Allen Ginsberg with face tattoos. You can't help but admire his willingness to share himself in the most pure, unfiltered form. This is as intimate and confessional as hip hop can get. Imagine if Bon Iver had given out his ex-girlfriend's address on the track and admitted to masturbating to her pictures on the internet-that sort of intimate/confessional sounding.
Sometimes B's tracks sound like cheap L.A. M83 in the best way ("Float"), and sometimes like Steve Reich on downers falling down on a piano warping himself in and out of the song ("I'm Just a Scarecrow"), but most of the time you don't know what to think, but all I know is it hits me in the fucking heart when he starts singing in his cracked, broken voice on "My Hart Stops". This is the secret Blue album in his huge catalog and philosophy of music, and anti-autotune rap, this is anti-masculinity rap, this is real fucking music and people need to recognize it.
