B.o.B - F*ck the Money
Artist: B.o.B
Featuring: Asher Roth
Producer: Kanye West
Album: May 25 Mixtape
Label: Rebel Rock/Grand Hustle/Atlantic
Money vs. love, checks vs. art. It’s an age old battle that artists have been fighting since the dawn of time, or at least since the dawn of the modern music industry, and judging by B.o.B.’s new leak F*ck the Money the ATL emcee’s already decided which side he’s on. One of the standout tracks off his May 25th mixtape, F*ck the Money’s centerpiece is some of the best Kanye production we’ve heard in a minute, which is ironic considering he reportedly made the beat way back in 2005. Regardless, it’d be wrong to say that B.o.B. and guest artist Asher Roth (who’s getting better every time I hear him) “kill” this one, instead they more appropriately bob and weave in and out of the track, dropping a combination of lines and then letting the haunting vocal sample finish the job. For more from Atlanta’s rising star be sure to check out his May 25th mixtape, available for download now, as well as an exclusive interview dropping next week (unless DJ Z makes a lot of money and quits this crazy scene first).

The second best song on the new mixtape to the J. Cole collabo "Gladiators." Glad this West production, which I agree Nathan is DOPE (my favorite word of late), was brought to light through these two talented emcees lines.
Download this mixtape, um... now.

I'll just say this now and put it out there, B.O.B. is the most multi-talented artist alive. No one has his vocal range or ability to adapt. I have a feeling we are going to be seeing some great things from him in the not-so-distant future.

B.o.B. and Asher sounded great together. But I wasn't really feeling Kanye's beat, it wasn't wack but it got boring after a while. Love the concept and how real artist make music for the music. Not the cash and fame that can come along with it.

I wrote this on the review too, but my only complaint is that the vocal samples comes in too often, B.o.B.and Asher can never get into a rhythm because the sample comes in so often. If Kanye has cut back on that frequency we'd be looking at a classic.

Really don't like this and I'm a HUGE B.O.B song when I saw the track with Asher Roth and Kanye's production I was PUMPED and pretty much expected this to be the best track on the mixtape...
I was dissapointed. Much better songs on the mixtape than this that could've been used The Rain Out of time Don't feel so good Cool side Just to name a few |

I tried listening to it another 3 times and I just can't get into it, I hate the production that voice snippet comes in WAY to often and like Nathan said Asher and B.O.B can't get into a good flow sticking with the 2 star

B.o.B. might be the hottest artist on my radar right now. He's so versatile. That sample is dope but I do agree with Nathan that it comes in a little too often. Still tight though, good collabo.

Production is fresh, B.o.B. does his thing & Asher straight ripped his verses, he needs more of these sorts of beats on his next album.

Sample though a bit repetitive, provides an ideal backdrop for each rapper to take his turn, and drop thoughtful lyrics all around it, intensifying the mood even more. Quality joint!
