Yesterday, we featured Brooklyn rapper Q da Kid, who is On A Mission to save the rap game from ‘generic rappers’ and put creativity and lyricism back at the forefront of music. Today, we have yet another voice of creativity in the form of a recently-featured Atlanta emcee. What makes B.o.B. different is that he started out his career as a typical rapper; complete with a grill, an Eastside tattoo, and a back-story of dropping out of high school to pursue a career in music. Eventually, though, he realized that trying to fit in would get him nowhere musically, so he decided to scrap his style and stand out amongst the Generation Lost with a guitar by his side. As his work continues to receive critical acclaim, it only builds anticipation for his Atlantic debut, The Adventures of B.o.B..

 like the message. love strings and piano in productions. especially pizzicato strings. don't care for the instrument that sounds like a coin in mario brothers. the flow was nice...short and sweet works sometimes. but 1 for the message, 1 for the originality and delivery, 1 for the strings, and 1 for the piano.

I got riled on for playing this track over and over today.. the lyrics are really introspective, and I read today that B.o.B. learned to play the piano and guitar.. my guess is that he recorded those instrumentals himself to create his beat. Not normal hip-hop, but I like this, its new and fresh. Always been digging B.o.B, even more since he switched his style up (like on the 12th dimension EP, which was featured on here a few times). Simply classic. Can't wait for the LP I think his part on Paper Trail is gonna give him the push he needs to get it out.

i don't think B.O.B. is with Rebel Rock anymore. He's with Grand Hustle if I'm not mistaken.

You can tell B.O.B. spends time on his music and his lyrics to make sure they all go together and make sense in the end, creating music that people think is CRAZY, but then again its one of those strange things that make people love him at the same time, Imma be on the lookout.

lol wow yes he did say that... as the intro paragraph says b.o.b. has had a change of heart as far as his preferred music style ie not mainstream ringtone music (not hating, I bump it all the time and still rate it good, just commenting). And he has been co-signed by grand hustle, intended to give him extra marketing clout (thus the /Atlantic in the bio, which owns grand hustle)

Hey big-A its alright man...dotn worry about wow..i noticed his/her reviews then i looked at the profile and soulja boy is one of his/her fave rappers..so what do u expect? A good review about a talented rapper/singer?
I wasnt impressed with bob's last song but this joint here is a banger...im a sucker for songs about personal history and self story telling...with his own production of the pianos and smooth track i hereby declare this a banger! |

Great to see all the positive feedback on the new B.o.B. joint. B.o.B. is absolutely right... the radio plays the same crappy formulaic records over and over and over. Yesterday, during a 45 minute drive, I heard the same four T-Pain records on all three main Chicago stations... multiple times. This needs to be injected into the mainstream, people appreciate storytelling and creativity.

anybody who uses numbers to replace letters in a word like "but 4 now" or is too cool to spell "really" the correct way so they spell it "real-e" shouldn't be taken seriously on this website. Z, you should have the kids under 12 years old rate in blue stars and rainbow-colored font so we can all admire and see how cute the message is and praise them for trying to learn how to type. Or even better, create a little-sister website for djbooth like "HipHoP4riZzLe.com-yo" for the little ones so they can rate songs and have their opinions accepted by their little pokemon-trading peers. you could even have a picture of spongebob wearing lots of jewelry and a grill on the homepage posing with soulja boy and jibbs. sound good?
