B.o.B. Says He'll Have The Year's "Best Album"

[fifflaren]

B.o.B. also says he feels a 1990s vibe in Hip Hop today and discusses "Underground Luxury's" musical elements.

B.o.B. says his upcoming album, Underground Luxury, slated to be released December 2013, is set to a better musical album than any of the other projects released this year.

"For me, it's great because I would have the best musical album out this year, like hands down," B.o.B. in an interview with MTV. "That's no knock to anybody, any of the greats like Jay [Z] and Kanye [West] because I enjoyed their albums, but musically, what I put into this album is gonna be the best album this year."

This year, Jay Z released Magna Carta...Holy Grail and Kanye West released Yeezus. Other notable releases came by way of other rappers, including Drake (Nothing Was The Same), Big Sean (Hall of Fame) and J. Cole (Born Sinner), among others.

"This year was a crazy year, everybody put out an album, but I feel like just the energy that's back in hip-hop, it's like back what you saw in the '90s when it was real superstar energy," he said. "I feel like that's very present among us."

Last month, B.o.B. discussed the album and explained its title.

"I want to say that this project is a project that is kind of like a contrasting title, you know, Underground Luxury," B.o.B. said in an interview with Montreality. "I would say, to paraphrase it, this is connecting the dots, from who I was as an artist before the major success to where I'm at now. And it's a lot more unfiltered and unedited than anything I've ever done. So I think it's going to be a great project, great, monumental, career shifting project. I'm actually done with it, but we're really just having fun with it, man. We're making a movie, you know, me and my team. We're just kind of sitting back and watching everything, watching how people respond to music."

Is the song with 2chainz on that album ?

[EminemBase]

I'd be surprised if it's his best album let alone the year's best.

Wouldn't take too much to be his best. He is probably the most talented dude ever not to have a good album.

[Hadez]

Honestly if it's anything like "Through My Head" it'll be really good.

great confidence

he gots the talent to back it up , just need to use it right

[Eedee]

I fuck with some of B.o.B's stuff, but c'mon. Em is dropping. Hop is dropping. Watsky dropped. J. Cole dropped. Mac and Kanye dropped... there's no way he's having the year's best album.

[JamaicanPattlez]

He's bold, gotta give him his daps for that. Whether he'll live up to that or not, we'll have to find out. All in all, 2013 has been a great year for Hip Hop. So either way, it's more music for me to kick back to this holiday season.

[mdemaz]

Bobby is dope.

[Just Silver]

modern B.O.B is clubbish ever since he joined up with T.I

[Kill You]

He'll have to prove it, then. I don't think he will have the year's best album, though. His first album was good but got boring, his second album isn't good, what makes us think his next album will be any different? I'll listen to it, yeah, but I won't give me the benefit of the doubt here.

For sure...

He's just got a lot of good songs, but both of his albums feel like mix tapes, no cohesion.

[Francesco]

I am sure that won't be the case... I hope he's gonna at least a drop a very good one 'cuz he's very talented though.
