If they say life's a dream,
Call this insomnia.
Cause this ain't Wonderland,
It damn sure ain't Narnia.
-- Bruno Mars - "the other side" (verse by b.o.b.)
One of the catchiest and funniest lines I've heard in a while from a rapper
I'm also very glad that b.o.b. is becoming popular. he's one of the more talented rappers I've heard in recent memory. Between him, Drake, Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth (yes I like him... there's more than "I love college"), and Kid Cudi, there's a new style of rap that I'm glad is catching on.
Sam Cooke wrote "A Change is Gonna Come" in the mid '60's. It was a powerful song against racism and segregation in the USA. B.oB., Charles Hamilton, and Asher Roth sampled the song and created something completely different. While I think the original version is much more powerful (and better in general) than the new, sampled version, I still think the new song showcases the abilities of these rappers. It's good, but I'll always love Sam Cooke.
