Lil B's 848-Song Mixtape By the Numbers
Lil B isn't prolific—cockroaches' mating habits are prolific. The Bay Area rapper is an indefatigable monster, releasing full albums quicker than you can read this sentence. Last weekend, the rapper released an 848-song, 5GB compilation of his past work, including older material and newer exclusives, that stands as his largest release to date. You are not going to listen to every song. I am not going to listen to every song. But a quick look at the track listing (via Fader) reveals much about 22-year-old Brandon McCartney.
