Lil B tha Based God was definitely where I heard it first. I think it was something with Lil Wayne a long time ago. Most slang I can suss out but I don’t thin

  It’s a reference to freebasing cocaine. Lil B’s detractors (apocryphally) used to call him based as an insult (analogous to crackhead) and he then started calling himself the Based God.

    That makes sense, thanks. I kind of like the idea of based meaning grounded... too bad I didn’t get there first. “Should we split this out into microservices?” “Only when we’ve identified an acute need for the increased complexity in our architecture.” “Based thinking”
