Prior to his major label debut, B.o.B used a steady string of mixtapes including “Who The Fuck Is B.o.B?,” “B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray”
and “May 25th”
to increase his fan base. In preparation for an as-yet-untitled sophomore effort, B.o.B recently told AllHipHop.com, that he has another mixtape in the works.
“I’m actually working on the next album, and I’m working on a mixtape simultaneously,” he said. “I produced some on the mixtape; I’ve got a few of my friends on the mixtape, and it’s coming out this year.”
The buzz from the mixtapes propelled The Adventures of Bobby Ray to the number one album in the country, with sales of 84,000 during its first week. The crossover success of the album was due in large part to singles such as “Nothin’ On You” and “Airplanes,” which featured Eminem and Paramore. When asked about the crossover between Hip Hop and Alternative Rock, B.o.B said he embraced the mixture.
“I like to teach people who aren’t necessarily from the South,” he added. “It’s good seeing everybody who didn’t really grown up in that type of environment embrace the hood bounce and embrace the dreads shaking. And the people who didn’t grow up in an Alternative Rock environment, it’s good to see them embrace that too.”
Better not be more GAY pop bullshit like his last…Fucking Chick music…..
Most overrated artist last year…. Corny gay shit
lol Damn son, that’s a little harsh…but somewhat true. I used to be crazy about this guy back with his Mixtapes but his album was made for Radio Disney…
he just mixing it up n its sounds good what he does hip hop rock n rnb combined where the fuk u get pop from
You cant do mixtapes after getting to the level hes at. He might as well continue what hes doing and forget hip hop.
This ain’t pop. This is good music. A talented artist. Autotune is pop. BoB can sing, spit, and produce. Open up your minds.
a bit of a split personality there my man? lol
Out of all the wack artists from the south this dude is the only one who I actually think has any talent..his debut was too pop but he got creativity and his mixtapes are always on point…he need to do a joint with killer mike and 3000
pop is just whats popular not really a genre of music in particular really just whats hot on the radio an 16 year old girls the term is really bein used outta context in the last few years
A fan of the mixtapes but highly disappointed in the debut album. Hopefully, I’ll enjoy the next release.
I loved the first album, not really liking the radio tracks on it, but overall I think it was great.
i love this guys music hes such a talented artist..
hes just so down to earth and real
I couldn’t believe what i heard the first time i heard his music especially the song with bruno mars
Me and my girlfriends always sing it when we are dropping the kids off at soccer practice 🙂
I always bring my son orange slices because it’s high in vitamin C
B.o.b’s music is so good i think it’s literally good for you OMG!!!
I think his songs have a full serving of vitamin C,B & D that’s how wholesome they are!!!!
Well guys better get going gotta take the kids to school 😉 I will definitely slightly blast BoB’s album on the way but not TOO LOUD haha
And Bobby Ray, Best of luck to you and your lovely wholesome music career
Love,
Sydney Socer-Maum :)))))
