Strange Clouds
Reeg Edit: Welcome guest writer/reviewer Mota.
Though B.o.b. has made himself seem more like a Pop star than a Rap Pro, his sophomore album “Strange Clouds” holds a true balance to it.
The follow up album to his debut “The Adventures of Bobby Ray”, opens up to “Bombs Away”. The album begins with the voice none other than Morgan Freeman, sending shivers done your spine as you feel like God is talking to you.
The tracks “Both of Us” featuring Taylor Swift and “Never Let you Go” with Ryan Tedder (frontman of OneRepublic) seem to show signs that Strange Clouds is headed in a more pop direction. However, to balance this pop façade, B.o.B. has an R&B style to cover up the seemingly pop sounds by utilizing Chris Brown on “Arena”, which also features T.I. (who’s flows are always pleasing) as well as Trey Songz on “Castle”, a song that with Trey’s singing and Bob’s rapping, automatically becomes one of the best songs on the album with a solid beat and a positive feel.
To further balance out the album, tracks such as “So Hard to Breath” and “Where Are You (B.o.B. vs. Bobby Ray)” Bob truly show his emotions and lets you into the world and mind of B.o.B, becoming some of the strongest tracks on Strange Clouds. However, every album has it’s weak points. That’s where Nicki Minaj comes in.
In the song “Out of my Mind”, Minaj once more tries to be Roman and turns a song that has potential into a catastrophe. She flows like she just got out of a mental institution. It’s really a surprise it made it on the album.
Another weak track would have to be “Ray Bands”. Bob’s flow is there and it’s actually pretty decent until you realize that he did a song very similar to this one on his debut album.
So what about his rapping? With features such as Lil Wayne on the lead single “Strange Clouds”, to Playboy Tre on “Just A Sign”, B.o.B. certifies himself as a solid rapper. With flows that stick to the brain and word play that leaves you thinking, you feel the balance that this album has. It contains Pop, R&B, Rap, and Morgan Freeman. Add those together and you have Strange Clouds. An album that deserves to be heard.

Crooked I – Every City ft. B.o.B
It would appear that Crooked’s Psalm 82:6 mixtape has suffered a pushback and thus, a single featuring Bob has been released to tide us over until the release.
