B.o.B - Lonely People
Artist: B.o.B
Producer: B.o.B. & Jim Jonsin
Album: Unreleased
Label: Rebel Rock/Grand Hustle/Atlantic
What do you get when you take the Beatles and send them to the Dirty South? You get Lonely People, an unreleased joint from the studio sessions of intergalactic ATLien B.o.B.’s yet-to-be released Adventures of B.o.B. Over production by Mr. Lollipop, Jim Jonsin, B.o.B.’s smoothed-out flow buzzes like a busy bee. In this cautionary tale of lost love and the struggles that accompany it, B.o.B. perfectly takes a somber and reflective tone. Though Talib Kweli may be mad, as he too has an Eleanor Rigby-sampling record entitled Lonely People, DJBooth will let members decide which track they prefer.

For some reason I never listened to this song, despite it being on his myspace for a really long time. still i like this, pretty decent joint. i would rate 4* but that's out of bias for b.o.b, but i won't listen to it enough. still, in heavy rotation, 3.5*

I want B.o.B.to drop his solo soon. Artists like this should be top priority to drop.

This song is hella old cuz i heard it like a year ago on one of his mixtapes. Its just there never was a version that had no dj or a downloadable version. Ne ways..this song is classic. Who would of thought combining Beatles and south a few years ago. Well, that comes to show how creative hip-hop is becoming and that aint necessarily bad. Great message on this track..B.o.B killin it right now. Solid lyrics. Classic song!!

This is hot. We of course know why this didn't make the final cut: No one "legitimately" clears a Beatles sample. (Disregard my "Say These Werds" and let's never speak of it again...lol). I really liked the production, but I felt it could have banged way harder. Maybe this is an unmixed version. I like B.O.B's different subject matter. It's pretty introspective. It's not a classic in my mind, but I will put give it 4 stars. I really wish that the mix was way better.

I love that song by the beatles. So this sample is crazy. Him and Jon snapped with this beat. B.O.B. is climbing up my ladder of new nice MCs. I dig this alot. Can I call it a Classic?

Yeah, Beatles samples NEVER clear. Ever. But... at least he didn't sit on the joint. I greatly appreciate when artists and their management send us tracks that they know will create buzz, which are not going to be placed on the albums. Why not use them instead of catalog them in a hard drive? Ya know? SIDE NOTE: If you are not a Beatles fan, go to your local library and check out a few of their albums (Abbey Road, Sgrt. Peppets Lonely Hearts Club Band) and enjoy.

I love that song by Beatles! And I must say I liked this song, too. The background sample is great and fits the flow of the song; the overall production is cool! I'm loving the beat and the music. He's good, too! I'm sure that after few listens I'm gonna like this more...for now I give it a 3,5

Macli, they actually had to rework interpolations of "My Guitar Gently Weeps." It slightly different from sampling.

Yo Z, I was always wondering about that? What's the differences between interpolation and sampling-sound wise and legally wise?

MH, great question! The difference musically is real simple: interpolation is the art of drawing a specific element from a song, and then changing it just slightly to re-adapt it into a new production. Sampling, on the other hand, is taking an original piece of work and simply splicing it into a new production, without altering it in any way. Legally, it is MUCH easier to get the rights to interpolate. The red tape is a mile long with sampling. Labels actually employ "sample clearance agents." It's no joke.
