I, for one, used to be really obsessed with B.O.B back in his Airplanes days. I had The Adventures of Bobby Ray on repeat. I was soooooooo in love with the album, it was just incredibly lovely to me!
Then, I had heard that B.O.B had signed with Grand Hustle. Which, I thought was okay I guess. No big deal really. T.I. is the homie; A1 since Day 1. It was all good.
Then, I heard "We Still In This Bitch"
-_-
I won't lie, even though I adore all that intellectual, poetic, and beautiful hip hop that's been coming out of the woodwork lately I still have an inkling in me that attracts me to the ratchet. But, B.O.B's came out with such beautiful music earlier with songs like Airplanes, Nothin' On You, and Don't Let Me Fall. I felt like I was smacked in the face with the ratchnicity of We Still in this Bitch. I wasn't expecting that at all from somebody like B.O.B, who I figured had such a progressive sound. I didn't dare listen to his album that came out at that time, because if it sounded like this song...I didn't want to waste my time trying to find diamonds in the skruggle.
But then, I heard "Not For Long" a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't been able to stop listening to it since.

It's such a groovy song. It's reminiscent of him during his adventures of Bobby Ray days. I swear, try not to crack a smile while you're listening to this song. You're going to lose, I promise you. This song is just luminescent. This song might convert me back into a B.O.B believer.
Also, there's Trey Songz...which, you know...helps :)
Do you listen to B.O.B? Are there any songs of his that you're in love with, or any new songs in general that you've discovered lately? I'd love to know how your music taste is like.
