Music
Obama Basedgod is described as Lil B's "most straightforward, rap-rap release since 2011's I'm Gay (I'm Happy)." On the mixtape's production, Lil B stokes "nostalgia for the Diplomats' or Hov's heyday with sped-up soul and Motown singles throughout." The track "Government Imported" features the beat from Jay-Z's "This Can't Be Life". The track "Vote for Lil B" is the most political song on the mixtape, while the track "Freeway Trips" is about his financial troubles.
Critical reception
Carrie Battan of Pitchfork was mixed in her review of the mixtape, stating: "Despite its charms, Obama Basedgod is often downright boring, joyless, and indistinguishable from hours upon hours of the rapper's throwaway material." Battan also wrote: "Obama Basedgod is ultimately an insignificant piece to the Lil B puzzle, but that's the point-- without the excess, the dependable comforts of the curious hum of his machine would fade to black."
