BOB: The Future...

Meet B.o.B.. BOB is a rapper that I just read about who originally hails from Decatur, GA, but now calls the area of Hotlanta his home. I looked on his myspace, and was pleased to see that he plays a show in Atlanta pretty much every day...yey widu. His myspace is full of goodies, including links to downloading a bunch of his mixtapes. I am not quite hip to the scene that is happening in Atlanta, but through the research that I have done about this guy I have figured that he was an artist of great interest of TJ Chapman, a very influential character in the hip-hop/rap scene in atl. I downloaded a mixtape of BOB and I have included the songs that I found to be the most appealing to my ear, but you all may find others that you like by downloading, The Future of Hip-Hop Mixtape. Some of my favorite songs include "Cloud 9", "16", "Atlanta, GA" (prod. Traxamillion), "Eastside Tales", "Chevy Star", & "Haterz Everywhere". I know that is a lot, so my top recommendations would be "Chevy Star", "Cloud 9" (I think you might get the theme of this song pretty quickly), and "Atlanta, GA". I wouldn't call this guy the future of hip-hop, but he is definitely bringing something interesting to the table. Oh yeah, he's 18.

***EDIT: get this whole album and listen to it in order...it is put together really well, and after listening to the whole thing a couple of times through i have gotten a lot more appreciation for it.***

p.s. worst written post ever.
