B.o.B - Change Gonna Come ft. Charles Hamilton & Asher Roth
Artist: B.o.B
Featuring: Charles Hamilton , Asher Roth
Producer: B.o.B
Album: The Unclearables Mixtape
Label: Rebel Rock/Grand Hustle/Atlantic
If there were an award given to the most popular word in the English language in any given year, “change” would have the ‘08 trophy locked up. In hopes of picking up votes in today’s U.S. presidential election, both Barack Obama and his opponent John McCain have used that powerful six-letter word as their campaign theme. Likewise, the 10 Freshmen artists chosen by XXL Magazine are expected to bring change to today’s all-too stale hip-hop industry. Three of these rookies have decided to come together to ensure listeners that Change Gonna Come. Harlem’s Charles Hamilton encourages listeners to keep their minds wide open so that music has room to evolve, Philly’s Asher Roth documents how stubborn humans have always been (while deflecting potential comparisons to Slim Shady, ‘Ye, and 3 Stacks), and Atlanta’s B.o.B. wraps things up by encouraging listeners to halt any debate over who had the better verse and realize that this is bigger than rap.

really this is b.o.b's joint? didn't know this lol. still mad props to him... rather than giving up on my refusal to rate political tracks simply because of my man b.o.b, i'll stand by my stance (ha). But this is a good track by these 3, i listened to it before MNF came on... no ratings whatsoever though lol. VOTE TOMORROW IF YOUR OLD ENOUGH! no matter who you choose, just vote!

I've heard this sample used lots of times before... I can only get down with it if it's used currently. The production is pretty hot on this though. Actually, it's funny this is featured today. Last week, I watched CH and Asher freestyling and they were pretty wack. I started feeling like they were the "O" word. But after hearing this, this is the most intelligent I've heard Charles Hamilton come lately. He actually was on earth for this. Asher Roth smashed very hard and B.O.B was just SO REAL with his lyrics.

NICE...funny i was just looking thru the XXL mag yesterday and i'm a fan of all 3 of these dudes so i was super excited to hear this...i gave B.o.B props on his last production and i gotta do it again...not as strong but dude def got a talent...with hamilton i guess you eighter love him or hate him, i personaly enjoy his style and personality (he's a character, watch him go at it with uncle luke) and asher is a beat too...download the greenhouse effect and see waht i'm talking about...sorry got a bit off track..overall this is a nice track, everyone ripped it ... **** star BANGER

B.o.B. just keeps killing it. Not as good as some of his other stuff I've heard, but it's a good message and his stuff is really refreshing

I have literally listened to this 5 times, so I can see the metaphors and understand these 3 young men's verses. Message(s) for the nation, now how many people will actually here it and pay attention. This IS way more than rap. I always love this sample, Great Job for all three, 4 stars ~(**)~

B.o.B. and CH are two of my favorite up-in-coming artists in the game. While Asher has to show me a little more, he doesn't deserve all the whack sites claiming his 'career is over before it started because Eminem dropped a freestyle'.
... change is here, just support it!

The original Charles Hamilton song is definitely stronger. Its like having a masterpiece to work with ,changing a few details, adding a few rhymes, and calling it greatness. Either way, I dig it.

Damn this is crazy bangin! 3 of the most hottest creative, up and coming rappers in the game right now on one song! Asher was solid but I've heard better songs from him. B.o.B was fire and so was Charles Hamilton. Great production and hook. The future of hip-hop is looking good with these 3 guys leading the way!
