It follows the release of his first solo mixtape I’m Thraxx that was released on September 24th, 2009[2][3]. The album cover was illustrated by Benjamin Marra which depicts Lil B shirtless with a halo on his head[4]
Background[edit]
Prior to releasing 6 Kiss, Lil B was a part of a hip hop group, The Pack, and released a song "Vans" that reached #58 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006.[5][6]During 2008 and 2009, he was busy uploading songs on Myspace where he started to develop a cult-like underground following.[7]
Reception[edit]
The Rolling Stone ranked the second track on the album, "I'm God" at 37th on their 2023 list of "The 100 Greatest West Coast Hip-Hop Songs of All Time"[8]
Soulja Boy, a prominent rapper, stated that one of his all-time favorite albums is 6 Kiss, therefore further popularizing the album.[9] Additionally, rappers including Kendrick Lamar and Tyler the Creator applauded his work and revolutionary style. Despite this, older rappers ignored his mixtape as it strayed from traditional styles.[8] Lil B has also faced criticism from fans for some materialistic and misogynistic lyrics.[7]
Influence[edit]
The release of 6 Kiss started the sub-genre of rap: cloud rap, which is know for ethereal sounds combined with melodic rapping[10]. Many critics attribute 6 Kiss to be one of the most influential albums of all time[11][2] and say that it allowed for the success of many rappers, such as A$AP Rocky, Yung Lean, Playboi Carti and Bladee.[11][12]
