This potential single from the newest ATLien to reach intergalactic notoriety, B.o.B., is more Organized Konfusion than Nitti. A breath of fresh air amidst a stale snap-‘n-roll musical climate, B.o.B. celebrates life with a fervor sorely missed in hip hop.I’ll Be In The Sky is a track that may go over the heads of trap-rappers still stuck in a maze, but the man also known as “The Future” is looking to go lightspeed past ATL certified legends Outkast and Goodie Mob. Jim Jonsin’s favorite rapper not named Lil’ Wayne waxes poetic over piano jabs, handclaps and tambourines. If “everyone in the world gon’ die one day,” then we’ll all have smiley faces partyin’ with Biggie and ‘Pac “in the sky,” having a good time.

I can't seem to feel anything this guy brings out. I hear the outkast type flow here. Its not terrible, but that hook doesn't do it 4 me. When are we gonna put the Haters track on here. That is his best track thus far.

Great. Does he have any other songs out currently? I think he'll pass Outkast in greatness!

B.O.B has an eclectic style like his other fellow ATLiens "Outkast". People know if this was Andre 3000, it was have all 5 stars. He's highly influenced by greatness, which ultimately makes him great too. Quit hating people. It's all love here. This bangs. I'd rather hear this than all the carbon copies out right now.

Good production, the beat is bangin! It's an overall good song even if I don't like their style...I don't like how Outkast sing, either. Is it possible they remind me of Gym Class Heroes? This song could be theirs! In rotation

B.o.B. is one of my Top 10 favorite new artists in this industry. A little info for you all... the man wrote, produced and arranged the entire song. He is knee-deep in talent. What up TJ!?

You can tell he looks up to Outkast, otherwise he wouldn't produce a track that sounds like this, did he change his voice up a little bit though, it sounds a little bit high pitch then the other songs ive heard by him, but none the less a BANGERR!! When i seen this it reminded me of the T.I. song Live In The Sky feat. Jamie Foxx, thats a CLASSIC in my opinion as well as Over and Over Again lol, B.O.B. is gonna blow up!!

Oh, my bad. I guess we should acknowledge of emo listeners, Xothermic and That1Kid13. Hahahaha! Too happy? C'mon, what kind of crap is that. How is something "too happy" and why do you want to just listen to dreary stuff all day. Sounds pretty sinister to me. I guess to each it's own. Try not to slit your wrists before tonight's DJBOOTH post. (Haha...lol...too happy....ah, that was a nice chuckle)

Hi michaelhannah. If it makes you feel any better just replace my words "too happy" with the words "excessive cheesiness" and that's the answer to your first question! Your second question is a bit of a mischaracterization of me. When I used the words 'too happy', I was being a bit particular because I moderately like the song, but I do believe it gets a bit...'happy'. All in all I respect you michaelhannah. You're the first man to identify (incorrectly) a person's mental state and musical taste based only on two words! That's a flattering ability if I do say so myself. Have a good day michalhannah.

This is my jam right here. B.o.B. has real talent. The thing that pisses me off is the artists like soldier boy who make records with NO substance or meaning, and become rich and famous. Like Z said, this guy wrote, produced, and arranged this entire track! Yet, he won't get close to crank dat on the charts or make half the money soldier boy made. I understand different styles for different people, so I'm telling all the 'True Hip-Hop' fans out there that we need to support these artists by actually buying their albums - not just downloading them for free.

This sont is just sick. I love this song. The thing about BOB is that he is different. True he does have that Atlanta( outkast, field mob) sound but he still brings a new type of energy to the table. It isnt the same Watered down Hip hop that is played on the radio( which most of it is trash) Im sorry but i listen to all kinds of music, and i look for something that stands out from the norm. THis guy brings just that.
