  13. Need this tape now.

  14. MP3 CMON LEEEGGGOOOO

  15. You guys need to post that new machine gun Kelly mixtape lace up that shit is fire one of the best up and coming rappers

  16. nice verses. but i’ve heard this beat about a million times, smh

  17. dope.

  18. how can people not think this guy is fucking DOPE? he went mainstream on his debut album…don’t hate the man because he successfully crossed over. especially when he can still drop heat like this

  19. It’s a dope track no doubt, I love Bobby and can’t wait for the tape but…

    Did anyone else notice that about half of these lines flat-out didn’t rhyme? Not just like rhyming words ending in M with words ending in N sorta shit…I dunno…

  20. damm this track is sick!..B.o.B. bodied tha shit outta it!!

  21. I liked his album but his mixtape shit is so much better. He is a beast

  22. fucking sick! Been a fan for years.

  23. dope! hes having a hell of a 2010.

  24. FINALLY! B.o.B is back on that shit that made me love his music
    His album was whack as fuck, but I loved his older mixtapes. I was worried when I first heard about this new mixtape, but now I’m hyped as fuuuuck!

  25. Damn, I never gave a shit about B.o.B before but he kinda bodied this.

  26. he raps? no way! i mean i love it when he sings and plays guitar and guests with such amazing bands as paramore (heard he thought about a nickleback collab! oooh, that would be sweet!) but isnt he worried that rapping might hurt his standing with parents groups and 12 year old girls?

  27. B.o.B is great at whatever genre is wants to do. He’s gonna be the hybrid artist of this century – rap, rock, pop. Can’t wait to see how B.o.B’s career grows

  28. @mouldy311 Oh be quiet, as much as we love it rap songs generally make less money than a pop song we can play everywhere. Dude always rapped, been a fan forever I remember when he was growing dreads if anyone remembers those days LOLz

  29. i hated his album, loved the tapes. ‘cloud 9′ has been my smokin jam since ’07

  30. this song is beastly. can’t wait til December 7th

  31. How has B.o.B sold out!! He gave yall 6 free mixtapes about to be 7 show him some love back!! FREEEEEEEEEEEE! over a 100 tracks

  32. Did he ever put out May 25th without a dj? If so, can someone hit me up with a link?

  33. Damn.. Dope track.

  34. yessss! this is the b.o.b I like! can’t wait for the mixtape

  35. beast mode indeed

  36. ehh…i’m not really feeling this… :/ never did really like B.o.B. anyways…i respect him as an artist with actual talent but, i’m not a fan

  37. wow he just ate this shit i actually want to hear his mixtape for the first time ever

  38. Wow. This is the B.o.B. I used to know. He kills this and he is already established so they might even play it on the radio. Good stuff.

  39. Cool flow, but dude can’t rhyme. Plus I can’t take him serious after that album he put out, that shit was the most prime example of selling out I’ve ever listened to.

  40. The B.o.B I got addicted to. So glad he’s back to rapping. Even though some of his best stuff is when he sings, “Don’t Let Me Fall,” “Ghost in the Machine,” “The Rain,” “Satellite.” He always kills it when he raps.

  41. B.o.B would sound a lot better if he didn’t get on mainstream sounding beats. The flow is superb though.

  42. i really miss this B.o.B. The reckless, I don’t give a fuck one. glad to hear him again.

  43. B.O.B aint sell out, yall just hate anything that sounds different than what you’re used to hearing..what’s wrong with versatility, diversity? Hip hop is full of narrow-minded, ignorant fans, he’s a artist and a talented artist at that..his album was dope good music is good music, and he bout to kill it with this mixtape

  44. People hate because he’s successful
    He’s always done music like The Adventures of Bobby Ray
    if airplanes was on a mixtape people would complain he needs to do more stuff like it

  45. smh @ the folks who still say he’s selling out. nothing’s ever good enough for ya huh?
    B.o.B>>>>>>

  46. this is fucking dope but i still cant get ova this niggas voice

  47. b.o.b. dude u stay on this mode forever

  48. the south is over… this is fucking garbage

  49. the south is over… this is fucking garbage

    ————

    Co-sign. This is weak. He should stick to playing instruments only.

  50. Siiiiiccck. I’m not gonna hate what I like

  51. BoB ain’t gone off like this for a minute. This shit is crazy. I’ve already listened to it like 25 times at least.

  52. nigga talking bout he aint rhyming? wtf can you niggas not hear and i dont even like b.o.b but this was kinda dope.

  53. b.o.b definitely did not do any songs featuring paramore or weezer before the adventures of bobby ray he sold out to get that paper and it worked so i can’t knock him for it but i dont have to be a fan anymore

  54. Dude just used more flows in 1 track than a lot of rappers do in their whole careers lol

  55. B.o.Bs Album sold 500k in the US. also sold over 10mil singles in US. 3 Platinum singles!!
    It has sold 400k in europe & worldwide so thats 900k total B.o.B has done numbers people

  56. LET’S GOOOOO!

  57. shit sounds sick. you can tell he’s taking all the shit to heart people are saying about him selling out. i mean, let’s face it, you have to sell out a bit to sell records. it’s good to see he’s still got that beast mode going with this though.

  58. Hip Hop fans are so shady. When someone is “underground” ya’ll get mad that people don’t listen. Then they finally get some shine and ya’ll get mad that people do listen. If I remember correctly, the c-section was lovin’ Airplanes before it hit the radio. Haters gon’ hate. If you dislike his music, cool. If you dislike his success, fuck you.

  59. beast

  60. For real you guys need to fix your site from comments I’ve seen on the site I’m not the only one having problems. As for this song it’s pretty dope looking forward to the tape.

  61. Holy fuck this is what’s up! This is a post that should have 1000 comments.
    J. Cole was dope, but did it pop like this???

    Bobby Ray Is The Man
    Call me a stan
    no rhyme intended

  62. ^ eSo said it best …

  63. This is insanely good, can’t wait for the tape!

  64. cosign eSo hahaha exactly. Same shit happens in other genres but not at the extent it does in hip hop. Niggas be mad someone else listen to their favorites

  65. GOT DAMN! Very nice.

  66. Of that XXL 09 Class BoB to me is the best as in career wise

    1) BoB
    2)CuDi
    3)Asher Roth
    4)Blu
    5)Wale
    6)Charles hamilton
    7) Mickey Factz
    them other 3 niggaz (Cory Gunz, Curren$y, ACE HOOD) straight bumz

  67. @Epic Beard Man: You lost all credibility with that post by putting asher roth at 3

  68. ^^^^
    ARE YOU STUPID!
    asher above blu, factz, wale & curren$y??? you dont know shit!

    Ace Hood
    charles hamilton

  69. @Epic Beard Man

    bob
    cudi
    wale
    asher
    blu/mickey
    ch

    career wise as in who is the mostr successful but far as rapper wise that list would be wayyy different.

    @NCbO3y1
    he said CAREER wise.

  70. @That NIGGA
    YOU dont know shit! putting b.o.b,wale,and cudi above blu and mickey and putting ace hood asher and curren$y above ch and i like currensy

  71. after listening to it again, i really like this song. ONLY thing that i dislike is the beat. nothing to differentiate it from countless other songs… but B.o.B tore this shit up

  72. this is artist wise dumbass

    b.o.b(singer, rapper, guitarist)
    kid cudi(his flow, sings & raps)
    wale(crazy ass flow)
    blu(lyrical flow, but really no hype)
    mickey fatcz(average flow, but lyric)
    curren$y(crazy ass lyric, boring monotone flow tho)
    asher roth(sometimes on point, but weak shit(musical wise))
    cory gunz(fast ass flow, not great lyrics)
    ace hood(same with cory except even worse lyrics)
    charles hamilton(boring ass flow, not all that lyric, weak ass fuck)

  73. OMG B.o.B suckss asssss!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO
    He’s even worser than Waka Flacka! LOL
    no wonder he’s not on T.I.’s album, thats why they put Drake!
    a real singer/rapper! B.o.B juat quit looooser!! LMAO
    YMCMB!

  74. this dude is so underrated. this song
    has a very eminem/who ever that guy who
    produces for drakes name, feel. song
    sounds straight off recovery.

  75. yeah Mz.Drizzy but you took the time to check him out you dumb bitch

  76. whatever ^ these crazy people say. i dont care. B.o.B is the shit. he has shown over bunch of songs he can actually spit. he went mainstream on most of his debut to get on the map because people didnt really know him until his first hit single and then they realized that, “oh he’s that guy that rapped about Haterz Everywhere.” he can spit and should/can be with the guys that can change the game. he is diverse. unlike cudi he can actually play the geeetar

  77. @THAT NIGGA you mustve not heard Curren$y old shit (music at the time he made the XXL list) he prob had the best flow out of the whole freshmen..his flow on Pilot Talk was boring but matter fact he finally went back to his old flow on Pilot Talk 2 *listening to it right now*
    ..If you don’t think Curren$y go in with the flow check out -
    1. Prioritize
    2. Get It Ya Self
    3. Star Power
    4. Your Direction
    5. Rather Be With You
    ..Nigga can outflow a lot of rappers

  78. Damn, Nigga went Beast Mode and ripped that shit up. Gonna have to mark that shit down on my calendar. hah

  79. i wanna be in beast mode…. haha greater than drakes gay ass

  80. super co-sign “eSo”

  81. fuck you Mz Drizzy…I’m drunk enough, fuck it. get off Drake’s dick. Go do something with your life instead of hating on B.o.B. Go suck a Lil Chuckee dick since you on that lame ass YMCMB shit.

  82. I’m sorry but Drake is probably the corniest motherfucker of all time, or at least this century…no hate (since hate is mistaken for personal opinion 99.9% of the time)

  83. fuckin Wheelchair Jimmy…the best thing rap has to offer? fuck outta here

  84. this is the BOB i like more ill be in the sky

  85. The reason B.o.B didn’t make T.I. album was b/c T.I. couldn’t promote this album! Trust T.I. next album they have a smash together. They had a single that was to come out right before he got in trouble but they didn’t want to waste the record when it can be used when T.I. can go out & work the record.

  86. but, despite my “hate”, B.o.B rips this shit. Can’t wait for his mixtape. he hasn’t released a bad one yet

  87. *YAWN nothing rlly stood out? ROFL @ underrated.. this guy can’t even decide what genre he’s in let alone spit a quality line. get his one hit wonder ass off the blogs plz.

  88. shame he sounds like lil wayne. but he did go hard

  89. LOL one hit wonder???? Try 3 Platinum hits!! 900k records sold worldwide!! Get off the sidelines nigga & stop spectating!!

  90. LOLz @THATnigga trolling, bet that dude’s hair is red and standing straight up, CH not lyrical fcuk outta here

  91. (2)dope!

  92. bob back on his rap thing. nice.

  93. Thanks for the info on the T.I. album B Rich. I couldn’t understand why B.o.B didn’t make the album. But by the sound of the title of this mixtape, “No Genre,” I can already tell there’s going to be a big variety of songs on the mixtape. Just like B.o.B and Bobby Ray, and May 25th, I loved how we were given a variety of stuff to listen to. I am sure this mixtape will be just as various. Let’s let the hate come in, because obviously B.o.B doing anything guitar related on his album means he’s selling out… B.o.B’s been on guitar ever since Cloud 9 days. I remember when B.o.B did “Don’t Break My Heart.” He went almost straight electronica/pop on that. But he produced it himself. The kid just makes great music. Great music tends to make radio eventually.

  94. @foolay ok i see what your saying, dont get me wrong, i think curren$y is a beast, i just think his flow is a lil monotone, but not as bad as that wack nigga drakes monotone flow

    @JaySpaceE
    charles hamilton sucks, now get over it.

  95. i love b.o.b and his mixtapes , but i noticed guy cant rap or freestyle for shitt, i laugh actually but his still an amazing artisit ,

  96. yeh lyrically he lacks but he always has those good songs. He always delivers on mixtapes but never with bars. He’s like Cudi in that way. This song has a lot goin for it though.

    yes for b.o.b.

  97. New of B.O.B. when he started but wasn’t really listening. Started paying more attention when he got famous to see what all the fuss was about and got this impression: dude can rap, but his commercial stuff is really REALLY bad (imo of course) but I understand why u gotta make these records.

    long story short. I think dude has a very annoying voice which I can’t tolerate for too long, but on his mixtapes you can tell how talented he is. This vid has made me respect him that much more. Definitely not an avid listener (yet?) cuz of how I can’t tolerate his voice and all, but he’s def. very talented.

    jus my .02

  98. It kills me when people say B.o.B isn’t lyrical. He may not be lyrical in the Eminem, Tech N9ne, underground rapper sense, but he is one of the most lyrical rappers out there, when it comes to the messages of his music. Whether it’s him feeling like a robot controlled by the industry, taking flight in his dreams, or being from another galaxy, being different from the norms of society, he is always rapping about something dope. It’s not all cars, hoes, and money for B.o.B.

  99. this shit is sick and he bodied it but at the same time his rhymes aren’t that great

    “curly fries…onion rings”

  100. he did body it cant wait for the mixtapes

    Click the name for new wiz khalifa

  101. this goes hard, shouts to motion fam!

  102. while yall talking about selling out…he talking to the president

    yeah…basically

  103. Can someone explain lyrical? Seems to have been lost in translation

  104. So he is another Fabolous – Comes hard on the mixtape and soft on the album. Whatever at least he can switch it up though

  105. ^^^Agree with somebody up there…
    B.O.B used more rap flows/styles throughout the song than most rappers use in an album.
    Damn he switched that nicely. Good work BoB. Keep spittin like this and you’ll get these haters to flip. good work!

    At the end of the day, you can’t hate on true talent and originality. That is BoB—-

  106. Mr.Drizzy go kill yourself

  107. he can’t spit fast at all like i got lost since the start the beats dope, when hes talkin normal its iight but B.O.B needs to pick up a better style for himself or just stop cause hes not going no where with this shit,

  108. [Based].O.B

  109. B.o.B went in on this. And for all you saying he sold out you obviously didn’t listen to his mixtapes building up to the album. He’s been making whatever the hell he wants since he started and the singing is nothing new. But he could always spit. And he’s probably the only guy I’ll listen to switch genres around all day and not be bothered by it.

  110. Video is pretty dope. It seems he leaves all the commercial radio shit on his album and gives us the dope hip hop on his mixtapes.

  111. @j Except Fabolous can’t hit number one records and appeal to teeny boppers with his albums. B.o.B already went there and back in terms of mainstream success. I can’t wait for his mixtapes! There gonna be so sick…

  112. he ripped the fuck outta this shit..

  113. Be. Oh. Be.

  114. @j Fabolous can’t sing, play guitar, produce… the list goes on. Don’t hate cuz you can’t hear the genius skillz.

  115. Beast Mode Indeed. Already.

  116. did b rich really post?

  117. BOB is a fuckin boss

  118. That’s really good, well done Bob

  119. B.o.B.>>>> than your shit artist that “hasn’t sold out”

  120. ^^^^
    Better than lupe fiasco?
    i dont think so….

  121. Damn! Dude goes off on the mixtapes!

  122. His approach to making mixtapes and albums are definitely different. He is appealing to two totally different audiences. He still had some of that crossover ish on the mixtapes though. But he a beast on the mixtapes. He reppin’ Grand Hustle,so I hope a mixtape he creates becomes an album so I can buy it chu kno.

  123. wow!

  124. Damn, can’t wait for this shit. something great to finish my year with. good job at keeping both fan types excited for your music. this shit for the early B.o.B fans and the album was for the newer fans of his hip hop/ alt/rock style although i like almost all his music so far everyone can’t realize his potential will be much more if he grows and branches out to new genre bending sounds.
