feature “Bet I” being Hotlanta at its hottest while “Don’t Let Me Fall” is the “where I’m from” track at its best. Add to that “Lovelier Than You,” where B.o.B sounds like Wyclef when he plays it sparse, and you’ve got the poptacular moments, but the street tracks and backpacker material works just as well, with the T.I. The uncrushable B.o.B is always filled with positive vibes and he isn’t above pouring on the sweetness as he courts the ladies with hitmaker for hire Bruno Mars on “Nothin’ on You,” a song that’s perfectly packaged for some Hollywood romantic comedy. “Airplanes” is the Coldplay-sized, emo-rap track with Williams that brings reminders of the Dido/ Eminem collaboration “Stan,” at least when it comes to rock-solid hooks, since the sentiment here is much more hopeful. That’s the rapper/producer/songwriter’s attitude in a nutshell, and it’s also the genre-free, music-loving, and even starry-eyed attitude of his debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray, a reference to the B.o.B’s real name, Bobby Ray Simmons. He went on to declare that the audience for Williams’ band was the same audience for Lupe Fiasco, Common, and himself. Should rap ever die, which isn't likely, it would be far too late to prevent its effect on most other music forms, from R&B to rock to jazz.When asked about his collaboration with pop-punk vocalist Hayley Williams, Atlanta-based alternative hip-hop artist B.o.B responded “ Paramore is the sh*t,” instantly driving away the hip-hop purists. They were doing the same thing when, roughly 20 years later, the same MC released his tenth album, and they'll probably continue to do so as long as the genre exists. Detractors were still calling rap a fad in 1985, when LL Cool J released his first single. Instrumentalists, a sampled breakbeat, or a drum machine can form the backbone of a track, while an arrangement can be spaciously spare or chaotically dense, and a chorus can range from atonal shouting to a sweet melody. Rap's core components are beats and rhymes, but that simplicity belies the wide range of sounds that have sprung from them. (with each region taking on its own specific flavor) and then to countless countries. Since then, rap spread from its New York epicenter throughout the remainder of the U.S. Rap's germination is sometimes attributed to the righteous street poetry of the Last Poets and the Watts Prophets, but it didn't begin to take full shape - and earn its tag - until after the Sugarhill Gang released "Rapper's Delight" in 1979.
