B.o.B. has been getting a lot of attention lately and those who just follow the main stream may not realize how long this guy has been making quality music.  Some are saying the music isn’t so much “quality” anymore but just a sign of B.o.B. selling out.  The blog CocainBlunts.com said, “The Adventures Of B.O.B.
