<p>Brandon McCartney, the rapper better known as Lil B or “The Based God,” is perhaps hip-hop’s biggest puzzle. His scattered oeuvre features thousands of offbeat and often-improvised songs on everything from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8u6EodZseg">Ellen DeGeneres</a> to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYfceJhgvRM">wonton soup</a> to <a href="https://twitter.com/lilbthebasedgod/status/415160713619857408">bar mitzvahs</a>. He’s given surreal lectures on topics like veganism and Tinder at universities like MIT and NYU.
