http://rap.about.com/od/reviews/fr/BobAdventuresofBobbyRay.htm Rap.about review of the album B.o.B. - 'The Adventures of Bobby Ray' A sound traveler without a map, B.o.B. goes wherever the beat takes him B.o.B. is an immensely gifted rapper/singer out of Atlanta. His debut, The Adventures of Bobby Ray, combines his strengths as a songwriter, lyricist, and instrumentalist. B.o.B. Presents The Adventures of Bobby Ray The Adventures of Bobby Ray is hip-hop for schizophrenics. B.o.B., who produced most of the tracks on the album, draws his inspiration from pop, soul, indie-rock and everything in between. B.o.B. recalls the soulful hip-hop of Goodie Mob as well the experimental approach of k-os. He envisions a Dirty South more inviting than the typical. The live instrumentation on "Past My Shades" gives you the feeling that the artist has migrated from the speaker to your living room. His charismatic singing powers the catchy "Lovelier Than Thou." His twist on Vampire Weekend's "The Kids Don't Stand A Chance" is the rare cover that's largely superior to its source material. Where Vampire Weekend's vocals are languorous and dark, B.o.B.'s take has a bounce that sends the song gyrating around the drums. His imagery is brilliant: "We're trapped inside the Matrix / Forced to play our hand / We're filled with so much hatred / The kids don't stand a chance"; His honesty refreshing: "As a kid I never understood what I observed...Always in detention / For the lack of my attention / You can call deficit / Really I just didn't listen." Sound Traveler B.o.B.'s debut is an adventure without a map. B.o.B. travels wherever the sound takes him. 11 of the 14 cuts here feature guests, from Lupe Fiasco to Hayley Williams and Janelle Monaé. Fortunately, many of the cameos enhance rather than diminsh the album's quality. "The Kids," for example, benefits from Janelle Monaé's strong vocals. "Airplanes II," which finds Bobby Ray and Eminem envisioning life without music, excels mostly because Eminem doesn't know how to waste a verse. The album's main flaw is that it doesn't allow enough room for B.o.B. to shine. It's never a good idea to stuff your debut album with reinterpretation of other people's songs, a multitude of guests and two versions of the same song. B.o.B. should've used his debut as a platform to showcase his sound. Instead, it comes across like a mixtape at worst or a mid-career experiment at best. Just B.o.B. and a handful of friends would've sufficed. Half adventurous, half cautious, B.o.B. never quite puts all his assets together to craft an exceptional album that he's capable of producing.

Ive been waiting for this album.. the album he gave out in the internet was really good.. he has found what he needed to become a good rapper..

Well write that new Ice cube's album on my wish list for this year.. Young girl- Pharrell ft jay z

Eminem- Despicable (Over freestyle) Omg. This guy changes his flow quicker than anybody else in the game.

I love that page u use to listen to the mixtapes, Ive checked soo many good music there! NaS feat. Notorious B.I.G. - Street Dreams (Lt. Dan blend)

Nas- Got urself a gun.. Probably one of the songs from Nas that hype me up the most after one Mic

If it was about favorite movies, I would like independence day 2, that doesnt make it a good idea.. I would like to see another bad boy, but im not thrilled by men in black..

I like the remix better!

lol that was mad funny

Tell me about it, the voice mocking and the change of flow is my biggest concern with his last album, But his last collabo's have been really good, so this may bring something.. Besides, he changed the name of the album to the recovery, maybe he is recovering his flow!
