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.
This is straight classic 5!! Its produced magnificently. B.o.B is becoming one of my fav rappers ever since I'll Be In The Sky, this song, and his chorus on TI&Luda;song On Top Of The World
This is the one. I been raving bout a song called haters that B.O.B has. But scratch that, this is the one right here. Love it. Finally a song from this dude on the booth that I can feel.
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.
hmmmmmmmm....interesting....i think thiz song iz very forget-a-bull (ha i still cant get ovr how i luv ma spell-n)... wait- did he jus say he dont lis-n to rap on tha radio cuz all he hearz iz crap???!?-uhhhh ok then....BUT now 4 me actual-e rating- ehhh itz aight. if i didnt lyk hiz voice it wuda been one star. but since i did itz 2 evntho dat aint real-e -...wait yeah uhhh nevamind wuteva.lol.
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)
@wow
I didn't sleep enough today, therefore I am pissed. so lemme vent now. you getting on my nerves. everytime I see your comments u hyping up generic childish crap, but u hating on the real creative artists. get the @*#$! outta here with that bullshit, u the definition of a generation who doesn't deserve to listen to HIPHOP
jeez Big-A... but lol wow. i guess thats why this song is called "generation lost"? im part of this "lost" generation, but i dont fit the definition. [i dont even bump ringtone rap]
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.
damn, yall hate-n on me 4real. jeez Big-A wud i eva do 2 u. y U wanna go start sum-thin that aint necessary...i mean u dont have to vent on here @ me jus cuz u mad...damn REAL TALK...y cant yall jus not care about wut i lis-n 2...cuz it real-e aint yo buiz-nes n-e-way. i mean, for tha 1000th time...GET OVR THA FACT I DONT LYK THA SAME DAMN MUSIC AZ U...aint that hard so wutz tha problem???!?..and i aint hurt-n tha rating eitha cuz everybod-e rating helpz make it wut it iz...so one little star will not kill it.
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?
Not my type of song but good...damn the production is excellent, I'm loving the beat and the music! His flow is good but I managed to understand only a few words...wish I could be anglosaxon grrr! Not a song I would put in one of my cd mixes but it is high-quality and dude is talented
ya know what...im 16 so shut yo mouth...what we shouldn't have on this website is people being really disrespectful to others. if i choose to type out my words like that it shouldnt matter to you. so im going to keep doing what i lik and not change because you want me to. aight peace...and again im 16 but i shouldn't even care about proving myself to you.
