B.O.B.-No Genre 2
April 8, 2023I was a huge Bobby Ray fan back before he got a major label deal, and I loved his first major album. but his second…Not so much. maybe it’s just that he’s shown us what he can do, and he blew his best bars on his come-up tapes. I dunno.
No Genre 2 is the sequel to his popular No Genre mixtape. If you liked that one, you’ll like this one–you just won’t find as surprising. It’s very good–better than a lot of of what I get sent to me every day. but there’s a fire missing. There’s nothing new here. Some rappers amaze us early but never top that first album (DMX, Nelly), others can sustain album after album (Eminem, Jay-Z). I’m not sure which one B.O.B. is yet, but I’m ready to keep rooting for him.
