Though B.o.B. continues to promote his new single, I’ll Be In The Sky (currently available on iTunes, with a video to be shot very soon), that hasn’t stopped him from teaming up with DJ Scream for a brand new mixtape, Who the F#@K is B.o.B.  One of the project’s most talked-about features, entitled I’m Dat N*gga, is a collaborative effort that pits the Atlanta native against his Grand Hustle boss, T.I., in a “verse battle” over producer Fury‘s old-school sampled beat.  The breakdown: Tip offers a more laid-back than usual verse, while B.o.B. flips the script and is unusually aggressive.  Both emcees then chitchat about which verse listeners will say is better.  In Tip’s words, “whichever one (is thought to be better), it’s still Grand Hustle.”

This song first appeared on the Rap Chart on December 8, 2008

This one can make some noise. I;m not overly thrilled with it, but it's tolerable to listen to. Something about "I'm Dat N*gga" being repeated over 100 times in a creepy voice really throws me off. TI's verse is pretty fresh, real laid back as the blurb says. Still, can't really give this one banger status.

I'd have to disagree cb the track that opens up for the who the f#@k is B.o.B mixtape i found FIRE!! This is Bob's first song just with his boss and the whole friendly fire thing going on where they disagree at the ending was hilarious. Bob actually holds his own which is impressive for a rookie just entering the game. Oh and the whole I'm Dat N*gga hook was nowhere near a hundred times hah although it did get kinda annoying it still sounded dope to me.

it's super chill. i like it though, I am always please with B.o.B's tracks.
Yes the chorus is repetitive, but it goes with the theme of his mixtape (who the f&$k is B.o.B).. as the song assumes: "he's that n@(*%." it's nothing like T.I's typical mainstream appeal, but i enjoy the song as a whole.

The production is pretty dope and I like the sampled beat! But wats up wit the repititive "I'm Dat N*gga" for the hook..I just wished they could've created something a little more creative. The lyrics are alright but this is the first song by B.o.B that I wont give a banger or higher. Its still pretty good though. I'll throw it in rotation

Shows B.o.B. can change it up - always a good quality to have as an emcee. T.I. was a smart guy scooping him up and giving him a co-sign.

Support the future of hip-hop!

This is a definite street cruising joint! I don't know how I missed the fact that B.O.B is with Grand Hustle. He beasted on this joint and T.I came off! I like the commentary after B.O.B's verse about who "got" who. LOL. Especially the "Kanye on the track "Late" from Late Registration" style chuckle T.I gave (a-ha-ha-ha-ha). This is a definite hot joint! I'm loving it. That production was so fresh too! I wonder what was sampled?

This song is so cold! That Gangsta lean beat alone made it work. I say T.I. won the battle fam. But B.O.B came in a close second. This is a track I listen to often.

B.o.B's accent wasn't as noticable on this track - which is a good thing in my opinion.

Kinda cocky, but still pretty good. Until I heard the commentary at the end and B.O.B. attempt to win over audiences by basically saying, "I don't give a @*#$! what you think" before he even has a substantial fan base (win the people over, then be honest because now if I like any of your tracks, I'm just going to use limewire or something and not even pay for the album). And also pay respects to Dre...the true pioneer of the game.
T.I. should never do commentary on a track again...it sounds like a poor emulation of something he's not. And my god, that's like the third time I heard him use the word immaculate wrong, he's starting to embarrass himself.

From 4 stars to 2 stars

I don't think this is a song I would add to my mp3 player but the production is soulful, chillin and has a good atmosphere. It reminds me of an old 90's song but I can't remember the title now. I'm not feelin him that much and I would be interested to know what he's talking about...musically this is kinda good

I didnt really need to here 'Im Dat N*gga' 50 times during the chorus. Other then that, this is a pretty tight track. T.I. & B.o.B. sounded sweet over some nice chilled out production.

3.5

I love an artist that switches up their style to please themselves and not the boardroom. B.O.B is mad creative and can switch from pop to rap so I appreciate the effort..with that said, TIP killed this and showed lil shawty who's the king but I appreciate the jest from B.O.B..Hot track either way
