B.o.B aka Bobby Ray is pretty well known for his popular singles, but most don't hear his best work. His mixtapes contain most of his better work. Sometimes you have to give the labels what they want, pop singles, but that doesn't stop rappers from putting out mixtapes with material that they wanted to do.
B.o.B also doesn't get the credit he deserves for being a talented musician. He also plays guitar in addition to rapping and singing. It's a different side to a rapper that most (almost all) don't have. One of his tracks, "Letters from Vietnam", is the prime example of this. In fact, when you hear it I would bet that you wouldn't believe that it was him singing and playing guitar. I'll put both a live and studio version on here so you can here it acoustic and then with the full band and also see him play the guitar. So here's to shedding a little light on his not-as-appreciated talents.
