I didn't know what to do with BOB - like, it's amazing but the rapping is totally incidental to its greatness, and I don't even think of it as a rap track so much as ... I don't know what really. I ended up putting it quite high in the end about #13 or so, it was the highest thing that I wasn't juggling as a potential #1.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 18:57 (thirteen years ago) link
rapping is not really incidental on BOB

I know! It's full of it. It's full of other stuff too though, it kind of transcends genre for me so didn't sit easy for me in a genre poll.

Is Kanye's line about hating paparazzi worse than the Nazis the worst lyric in the poll so far? Love the music on that song but his MCing is even slacker than I remember it.
Never heard Ha but it's great - weirder than I expected Juvenile to be.
xp I think it's fair to say that BOB seems to transcend genre, just like Get Ur Freak On.

Don't know why they cut the Lou Reed sample out of the single version (probz some backroom business), but that's what really makes the track.

Bare bones (dusty drum, simple bass line) beat with pure complex lyricism. So great.
