nah. 4chan learnt it from the rap song "Based God".

It meant the same thing in "Based God." I know 4chan didn't invent the phrase.
Based in that means "being intoxicated with cocaine".
Lil B said it's both: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Based%20God But only because he changed the meaning. Didn't realize there was an older one too.
