B.o.B. "The Adventures of Bobby Ray"

B.O.B. presents an interesting saga of his alter ego, but most of The Adventures of Bobby Ray involves a struggle for the spotlight with all his guests that come to lend a hand, not that he needs it. The first song was all a dream, or it sounds like it. When he woke up he lost ability to fly, almost like his rivals shot his kinda kryptonite right into the sky. But despite his fear of failing in 'Don't Let Me Fall,' he knows where he belongs and who he is. B.O.B was fine when he hit the ground, this guy from Mars (Bruno) laid it down (the hook), was great and the single was a hit, but was not prepared for the success that came for the one after it. He lost some of his power and now has 'Nothin' On You.' Far from invincible, he did know what to do. Until the guy with two belts, gave him focus, known as Master Lu. I have respect for both artists, so this was one of my favorite songs with an X-Men reference in 'Past My Shades.' One of the biggest songs of the summer, several years ago, was very competitive with his verses, but helped his focus to become the gasoline to send these 'Airplanes' into orbit; props to Haley Williams from Paramore. You can 'Bet I' had a difficult time discerning whose verses were king in this song; T.I. was on point, and Playboy Tre was an underdog that proved to have a formidable flow. Would you classify the next song's power as invisibility? He is a 'Ghost in the Machine.' If you thought you were claustrophobic, or helpless, leave it to Janelle Monae and Bobby Ray to make it worse and proclaim that 'The Kids' don't stand a chance; this is a re-interpolation of Vampire Weekend's song of a similiar name. Does Rivers Cuomo have a hairy chest? He lent some of his 'Magic' on the third single, and some quirkiness as well. The ninth song is one of my favorites for its use of horns, and not those of you know who. Seriously, the song has some of his most introspective and he's on fire; it's kind of like an inside joke if you have not paid attention to the lyrics, but it's one that isn't funny. Outsiders only see one side of 'Fame,' unless they become famous, then they wonder what they got themselves into. Out of his devotionals, there are none 'Lovelier Than You.' This showcases his singing voice, and his more melodic side. Finally, be prepared to enter the '5th Dimension,' but you were probably prepared that i was gonna type something like that, Oh well. His verses refer to his planetary nationality, again, like he did on song seven; the lyrica are interesting though, and we cannot take that away from him. Ricco's vocals are distinctive, and help with the other-world vibe; see people on other planets have soul too!
