Where is Bobby Ray?

[therapist]

But you made the Tech N9ne of threads tho.

Explain.

You click on it thinking, damn this might have some interesting shit in it, then you get into it and go "o its empty".

Just like when you listen to Tech N9nes musics.

Why did you click on the title not knowing Bobby Ray and what the question "Where is Bobby Ray" means?. There are a lot of people who CAN relate to that. So my question is, why did you come here just to proclaim "why am I here"?

Because I'm a low quality TR poster.

His first album & the material he dropped in that period of time were great to be honest... he's been way off that ever since IMO though.

Definitely. There are some good songs off his new album Underground Luxury. Paper Route, One Day, Nobody Told Me, John Doe, Coastline.. but I'm with you on that one. I actually prefer all of his mixtape content... b.o.b vs bobby ray, No Genre, EPIC, etc

I loved Underground Luxury...

[Just Silver]

I hate b.o.b

[shadyblogger]

Airplanes Pt. 2 = kinda good

[Trimss]

The B.o.B that first caught my ear in 2008 is dead.

I agree.

I was listening to Underground Luxury today and I thought that is really easy to jump off the boat when it seems to be seaking. Other words, B.o.B is clearly struggling to fulfil his label mainstream expectations and not lose who he really is both personally and musically.

So, as a long time fan, I won't declare him dead to my ears and replace him with the first Chance that comes up. Other than loyalty, I still see that great artist in him. If you listen to coastline, nobody told me, john doe, b.o.b vs bobby ray (where are you) and so hard to breathe, those last two being from Strange Clouds, you can clearly notice that he's pretty aware of how his OG fans feel and his place in music today.

And we shouldn't act like he's stopped delivering top notch tracks because he still does, they just come along with a few 'OMG, he the biggest sell out ever' song.
Maybe with the low numbers he did this time around things will change, who knows?

All I know is that I ain't dissing the hell out of that nigga to then come back around riding his dick when he drops a new dope project sometime later like some members did with Eminem after Recovery (which I will forever think is an fucking amazing album) and now would love to suck his dick while listening to MMLP2 in his bed, and I'm counting the fucking deluxe tracks and Don't Front, so that's a pretty long god damn time.

He shows glimpses but totally sells himself short.

I actually enjoyed this song:



Everything else newer... eh.

[EminemBase]

B.o.B swapped Bobby Ray for gold teeth and glasses.

[kkaniff]

I'm apparently the only person on the planet who likes Throwback, huh?

[Shuttle Destroyer]

One page of complete bullshit and a post like my last one gets no reply
Either way though

I think he'd be a lot better independent.

Yeah true. He is great on his own, that's why his mixtapes are better than his albums. But he was a poor guy trying to make it in ATL, TI is like a god there, so i bet it would have been really hard to turn down the deal from Grand Hustle.

[FistInABlender]

Like him, not had a chance to underground luxury yet though, iv had mixed opinions on it. He frustrates me cause he can rap well, and is lyrically good, not the best but better than most, but he doesn't rap often, if he raps in underground luxury then I just sound dumb here, but oh well
