B.o.B - The Kids ft. Janelle Monáe [HQ]
Off of 'The Adventures of Bobby Ray'
Good track off B's album ^
B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray (as he sometimes likes to be called) has been creating quite a buzz in the music world due to his numerous mixtapes and features, so it’s only natural that his album be one of the most anticipated of the year. Since he first started getting national attention, he has had to battle comparisons to another Southern golden child, Andre 3000 from Outkast. This is mainly due to B.O.B.’s multi-faceted approach to his music, often singing as well as rapping on songs. So, does he separate himself from 3 Stacks, and create his own identity on his debut? Yes, and no.
B.O.B. clearly wanted to set himself apart from other artists judging by the wide array of collaborators on the album, which include Eminem, T.I., Lupe Fiasco, Janelle Monae and Hayley Williams from the Rock group, Paramore. He covers many different genres throughout the album, with sounds ranging from Pop, Rock, to Down South bump. The album starts off with the piano driven, “Don’t Let Me Fall”, where B.O.B. basically tells the story of how he got here. Next we have the current radio hit, “Nothing On You”, featuring Bruno Mars. Not really my favorite song, but I understand why he dropped it as his single. “Past My Shades” with Lupe Fiasco is a funky, guitar laced, song which comes off as a Hip-Hop jam session with a live band, reminiscent of Brand New Heavies. “Airplanes Pt.1” featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore is sure to gain B.O.B. new fans from the Tween demographic, but it’s back to business with the trunk rattler, “Bet I” featuring, T.I. and Playboy Tre. He puts all the soul-searching aside, and just gives us some crunk Southern bump, just in case people thought he was all Pop.
The next few songs show B.O.B. spreading his wings musically by experimenting with different sounds, from singing on “Ghost In The Machine” to the Electro bounce of “Magic” with Weezer’s, Rivers Cuomo. Fans of B.O.B.’s earlier work might not be as accepting of all this experimentation as newer listeners, but they should be satisfied when they get to “Fame”, a 70’s tinged, slow riding track that talks about the evils of new found notoriety. “Lovelier Than You” has B.O.B. getting his “Wyclef “on, over acoustic guitar while he croons to the ladies. “5th Dimension” showcases more of B.O.B.’s lyrical prowess as he boldly proclaims, “Stay tuned to me, and there will never be a re-run”. The album ends with “Airplanes Pt.2” which utilizes the same beat as the first, but this time features, Eminem, who absolutely murders this song, with the intense Mathers emotion we’ve come to expect.
All in all, “The Adventures of Bobby Ray” is a ambitious debut, and shows that as an artist, he is extremely versatile. That might be the one flaw of the album, where certain fans who like his rapping will probably not like the whole album, but that’s to be expected with a record that takes so many risks. One thing for certain, is that B.O.B. is sure to have a very diverse fan base because of it. Trust, you will be seeing much more of this guy in the months to come, because in this case, the hype matched the talent. As far as the Andre 3000 comparisons, I’m sure they will still be made. B.O.B. is no copycat., though. He’s just being Bobby Ray. 7.5 out of 10
