Thoughts so far? Anybody think it's gonna be better than his debut?

Personally both Strange Clouds and Play the Guitar are ehhh...So Good is a cool track tho..tbh expectations aren't very high for this album..

    All 3 of these songs are better then his first album's singles.

    I was pumped about BoB before he dropped his debut from his mixtapes. Album was a disappointment but Im not gonna give up on dude.

    See I was a little disappointed in the album but I still thought it was a decent debut..but true these 3 are better than Nothin on You, Airplanes and Magic..

    It's going to be tough to top the first album, and to be honest these tracks don't make it seem like he will.

    Its going to be tough just cause of the climate of music alone. Neither of these singles appeal to the white audience like that so im pretty sure it'll struggle to go gold but thats none of my concern. Want the dude to make music he wants to make and not Atlantic.

    I could have sworn Strange Clouds debuted at #8 on the charts and So Good just debuted at #5 on iTunes....

    He got that addidas gig and ? . He has a knack for making chart topping songs. Idk I think when his album drops he's gonna do big things.

    I hope this album is more B.o.B. than B.o.B. featuring...

    From the singles, he's released so far, it sounds like it'll be more rap. I still want to hear him without the features though. "Don't Let Me Fall" was favorite song from the last album and that was him by himself.

    Couldn't agree more, both the Wayne and 3k features were kinda weak imo..

    Has not dropped a dud yet. His singles are doing better than the so-called hottest in the game according to MTV.Strange Clouds single went platinum and So Good will also. I think he is going atleast gold again and could outsell his boss.

    This guy is really the embodiment of record label formula in rappers and I'm really not feeling it... Anyone who likes this guy must not understand how bad he is for hip hop.

    This is true. Most people only listen to singles, and that's the bottomline.

    I actually meant compared to the quality of the songs on the first album. I wasn't referring to sales at all. I don't really care about that to be honest. I like the song "Strange Clouds" though.

    What were they? Don't Let Me Fall, Nuthin' on You, Airplanes, Bet I, and Magic?

    Anyway, I can agree on Nuthin' on You, but the others were hot, especially T.I. and Playboy Tre and Bet I.

    It was def a single though. I remember the video. In fact it was pretty cool as I recall.
