Who had Stacks being a BasedGod disciple on their 2024 bingo card?
, Stacks was asked whom he considers his peers now that he’s venturing into a different genre. “A long line of historical bands like Sun Ra, the Chicago Art Ensemble. Even rapper,” he answered. “I was joking to myself. I was like, ‘I’m almost the Lil B of this type of music.’ Lil B is… they call it ‘Based Rap.’ My son actually turned me on to Lil B.”
He then expanded on his Based God comparison, saying, “a lot of what he’s doing is made up or improv or really reactionary.” Adding, “It’s not this studied, perfect thing. Because I came up in the ‘90s, we came up with and some of the considered the best rappers around. It was about clarity. It was more of a studied kind of thing. A person like Lil B is not studied at all. But the way the kids respond to him, it’s because of that. It’s kind of like a punk way of rapping, and I like it.
Elsewhere in the interview, the Atlanta rap legend was asked about his visibility during the past year or so being that he’s tried to shy away from the spotlight in the past. He admitted that he somewhat prefers this era of fame because the lights aren’t as bright. “It’s almost like [, like Coke Lite or Coke Zero. It’s like Superstar Zero,” he quipped. “You’ve got the fame, but it’s not as intense as it was before. It’s different.
