Albums B.O.B. - Southmatic (Discussion Thread)

[neomerge]

B.O.B. is legit back now and he's killing it like he never went insane on that flat Earth tip. No joke this album bumps and is full of dope samples and nice beats that pay homage to hip hop history. I haven't heard a tape like this from him since 2011s E.P.I.C. Y'all definitely need to peep this. It's Available on datpiff and everywhere else.

Probably so. I high key was about to if it wasn’t for this post. I saw it while checking what new music was out yesterday, but didn’t bother to play it. Never been into BOB and didn’t like the Soul Glow joint. Was scrolling all the threads and came in to see what people had to say about it. Was pleasantly surprised by the songs the OP posted. Will check this out today now.

The one question I have now is how the hell did he clear all this stuff? The Magic Number joint has like 7 samples in just the short people I skimmed.

I didn't like soul glo much either but it's started to grow on me in context with the rest of the album.

I'm puzzled by this too. Seems like some of them were just remade samples to sound like the source material?

 

[ÆTHER]

this is all just concentrated foolishness. at him sampling my neck, my back.

 

[El Jefe]

Who handled the production ...this shxt slappin si far

 

[Neuromancer]

Is this an Illmatic tribute?

 

[L. Deezy]

Is this an Illmatic tribute?

No..which is a good thing


I was hesitant to even click on this because I saw "matic"

This tape is a tribute to old school tho..with a twist

I was wondering if there were multiple cats or it was all the same.

 

[El Jefe]

@neomerge i was thinkin the same

 

[TheKang]

Throne Air my favorite so far

Frankie Limon is a PROBLEMMMMM
