"Based means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do. Being positive. When I was younger, based was a negative term that meant like dopehead, or basehead. People used to make fun of me. They was like, "You're based." They'd use it as a negative. And what I did was turn that negative into a positive. I started embracing it like, "Yeah, I'm based." I made it mine. I embedded it in my head. Based is positive." - Lil B the based god for Complex mag. Spoken like a true champ.

Based music is an avant-garde sub-genre of rap music originating from the Bay Area of California. It is characterized its unique lyrics, beat selection, and subject matter. Artists engage in what is called "based freestyling" , a stream of consciousness style of rapping in which the rapper says literally anything that comes to their mind. Lines like "hoes on my dick 'cause I look like *insert random pop culture figure here*" are very common. Berkley rapper Lil B the Based God is the main pioneer of this genre.
