B.o.B - Get Mama a House
Artist: B.o.B
Producer: Teddybears
Album: Unreleased
Label: Rebel Rock/Grand Hustle/Atlantic
Big-money dreams come in many shapes and sizes, but if there’s one item that ranks high on most every rapper’s post-windfall agenda, it’s undoubtedly: “Get Mama a House.” (And if she’s already got a house, of course, you get her a bigger one.) Not that this ambition is confined to the urban-music world—quite the contrary. For proof, we turn to Swedish indie-rockers The Teddybears, whose 2010 single on the subject has just received the unofficial remix treatment courtesy of ATL genre-bender B.o.B. More of a cover than a typical hip-hop remix, this rendition of the record retains the Swedish group’s driving New Wave/power-pop backdrop along with the original lyrics; Bobby Ray simply lays his vocals over the top, echoing the Bears’ determination to set Mom up in some nicer digs (no matter if it takes “yen… from the Yakuza,” “ruples from the Russian mob” or “pesos from the junta.”) in characteristically infectious style. This joint isn’t set for inclusion on any forthcoming project by B.o.B, but those inspired to dig into the Teddybears’ discography can start with 2010’s Devil Music, featuring the original version of Mama and much more.

B.o.B's unorthodox songs are always his best, IMO. His eclecticism is truly something to marvel at.

A problem I have with B.o.B is that I like him so much (my favourite artist along with some others but thats another discussion) that I expect A LOT when he puts something out. Taking this for what it is will help everyone enjoy it.

Pre-mainstream Bobby Ray is so much better. I know you're versatile B.o.B but you don't want to end up like Ludacris singing with bieber and not catering to the people that would buy his music and his real fans. If you're feelin this, check out his track Cyber Heaven

It’s alright; I don’t think it’s his best work.

Just ridiculous enough for B.o.B to make it good.
