This isn’t new, however If you’re a routine reader, you understand I don’t break news—I share it. When I get to it. (Oh, as well as if you’re a new reader, welcome! as well as wtf are you doing reading a blog—nobody reads this crap anymore!)
B.o.B.’s very first album as well as very first mixtapes are pop-rap gems, as well as since then I’ve been waiting on him to accomplish that level of greatness again. On earth Day, he released a new mixtape with production by No Genre, titled E.A.R.T.H. (Educational Avatar truth training Habitat). Some may keep in mind that B.o.B., a high institution dropout, has declared that the earth is flat. This mixtape seems to celebrate his own ignorance, as well as at times it’s difficult to tell if he’s making fun of himself or preaching. like when he marvels at exactly how many Stegosauruses there must have been since we’re still burning fossil fuels, argues with Neil Degrasse Tyson, asks what the hell is Kosher food, or when he argues with his instructor on “Fkn’ Science” (my preferred track on the album), which can make this a very, extremely strange listen. however then he states stuff that’s clearly witty, like when he’s complaining about poor record offers as well as exactly how rappers don’t get the huge advances other artists do as well as complains, “Niggas online on colored people time, what the hell is ‘in advance?’”
So, is this as great as his early work? It’s close. There’s some extremely solid pop-rap tracks, which get confusing when you listen to the content, as well as then at the end we get a much more mature B.o.B. Earthquake, essentially an acappella track (with opera behind it), explodes with rage as well as frustration—enough to persuade me that, hey, B.o.B. is in truth serious throughout this mixtape. He truly does believe the Holocaust never happened. That’s a tough pill to swallow, which is eventually why I can’t state this hearkens back to his finest work. however it’s still extremely good, as well as it’s definitely fascinating to see the progressive maturity of a rapper who essentially grew up before our ears.
