I could never really get down with B.O.B.'s whole musical alter-ego thing. Call me whatever you'd like, I'm the dude booing when "Bobby Ray" whips out the guitar and starts singing "Satellite", especially when it's coming from the same person that can rap like this.
It's his artistic right to produce the type of music he wants, it's not the fans' job to put the artist in a box... blah, blah, blah. If LeBron starts pole vaulting and it's taking away from the time he's putting into basketball your gonna tell him "WTF?!" right? Same thing, smaller scale. B.O.B.'s time he puts in with the guitar pick is taking away from his time with just the mic, I can't support that.
That said, there's no doubt in my mind that some people think the exact opposite of me, and would rather have Bobby Ray. Of course, they're entitled to their own opinion, even if it is horribly wrong. Either way, it's most likely gonna be those people enjoying Bobby Ray Simmons' debut album, B.O.B. Presents The Adventures of Bobby Ray. The tracklist looks like Big Bobby took this one over.
01. “Don’t Let Me Fall”
02. “Nothin’ On You” (featuring Bruno Mars)
03. “Past My Shades” (featuring Lupe Fiasco)
04. “Airplanes” (featuring Hayley Williams)
05. “Bet I” (featuring T.I. and Playboy Tre)
06. “Satellite”
07. “Ghost in the Machine”
08. “The Kids” (featuring Janelle Monae)
09. “Magic” (featuring Rivers Cuemo)
10. “Fame”
11. “Lovelier Than You”
12.“5th Dimension” (featuring T.I. and Ricco Barrino)
13. “Airplanes (Part II)” (featuring Eminem and Hayley Williams)
Bonus:
01. Higher
02. Mellow Fellow
03. Yesterday
So this gets a maybe from me come April 27th. B.O.B. and Bobby Ray aside, I'm still a fan.
