B.o.B - Put Me On (Reebok)
Artist: B.o.B
Producer: A Tribe Called Quest
Album: Reebok Classic Remix
Label: Rebel Rock/Grand Hustle/Atlantic
Featuring timeless designs and bright colors that simply scream, “Put Me On,” Reebok’s Classics line practically sells itself, but those who tastes in both footwear and hip-hop run old-school are sure to appreciate the bangin’ musical bonus that will come with their brand new kicks. The latest artist to update a retro favorite for the shoe manufacturer’s Classic Remix Collection, Bobby Ray (aka B.o.B) has flipped A Tribe Called Quest’s 1990 hit, Bonita Applebum, into a nostalgic tribute to the music and fashion that defined his formative years. With retro, sample driven production back en vogue, it’s no surprise that the Tribe’s jazzy instrumental, centered around a memorable sitar riff from Rotary Connection’s Memory Band, sounds as fresh as ever; Bobby even heightens the feel-good vibe with some mellow acoustic guitar strumming. An easygoing track perfect for those long summer nights, Put Me On is a shoe-in for rave Booth reviews (I know, I know, it’s “shoo-in;” the pun was just too awful to resist), and may even have a few heading down to Foot Locker for a fresh pair of sneaks and a free download code.

I love BoB I cannot wait for his album to drop. This track is so oldschoolclassicillmatic, Bobby Ray is on his shit. He always brings something fresh and new to the table, you gotta love it

Bonita Applebum was the first TRIBE record I heard and to this day its my favorite. While I can't say I like Bobby's version BETTER, it is pretty good. His sing-songy approach is both enjoyable and works perfect with the instrumental. I am not a Reebok kinda guy, but this would get me out to my nearest shoe retailer.

This track worked really well, I loved B.o.B. over the production. I love the original, and this was a cool concept by Bobby.

I heard this earlier today. I thought this was really illy and brand new vintage. I love that word you created Vanrieman. This is definitely "oldschoolclassicillmatic" if I should say so myself. All I rock is Reeboks! Good stuff.

This is flat out heat. I love how he twisted the O@ version and made it his own. One of my favorite Bobby Ray tracks.
