Nothing On You

Apparently B.o.B's hit song was originally Lupe's.

Lupe Fiasco - Nothing On You ft. Bruno Mars

Lupe Fiasco didn't want it and passed the beat (with Bruno Mars' hook) to B.o.B, who gladly embraced it and managed to turn it into a hit.
Lupe was never the bilboard-hit-single-kind-of-rapper, so I understand why he didn't want it.
Too bad, though. He could have had much more exposure with a song like that.
Or did Jim Jonsin, the producer who produced the beat, prefer B.o.B's vocals over Lupe's?
Who really knows, I like both versions.
Lupe's version sounds more like a poetry reading, which I prefer. So at the end of the day preference is what counts.

PS: Atlantic records can be a bitch, so fuck them.

meh.. I actually stopped this fairly early into verse one. Just wasn't feelin' it.

BoB did a much better job with this, which surprises me.

Same, I also stopped early. It's probably because I'm too used to B.o.B's version to like Lupe's as much.
