B.o.B. aka Bobby Ray – “Mr. Bobby”
AUDIO By TC on March 18, 2009 at 12:04 pmWe’ve been calling him Bobby Ray for a minute so this suits me just fine. Now, The Artist Formerly Known As B.o.B. says that’s what he prefers that you call him as well.
“Now I go by the name ‘Bobby Ray.’ Make sure you put ‘Bobby Ray,’ ” the MC revealed. “I’m really going into a new direction — more free and not trying to live up to any particular genre. I don’t feel like I’ve been doing that. I don’t feel like I’ve been trying to fit in, but I feel even more free-spirited. I have more willingness musically. That’s all I’m about. I’m about guitars, chords and keyboards.”
Does it matter to me? Not really. Whatever it takes for him to fight over the initial road bumps of stardom that seem to beset so many new artists when they receive that first overwhelming dosage of fame. For B.o.B. Bobby Ray particularly, I think it’s good that he clarify that his influences & forewarns listeners that what he creates will be larger than Hip-Hop. I knew this (Have you listened to the Hello, My Name Is… mixtape?) but now the world will have to hear him out and adjust their ears to do so.
Signifying that change of pace, here’s his latest offering which has a definite roots vibe to it. Not in the least bit out of left field for B.o.B., but you knew that right?

Thanks Gotty!
Bobby Ray Valentine
Bobby Jimmy And The Critters, were awesome!
An engineer once told me that you can tell a hit from the first eight seconds. This is definitely a jam.
Good look on the Bobby Ray mixtapes
Bobby Ray is my No. 1 artist for this year. He better not fuck it up (Kid Cudi)
Thanks for the mixtapes.
Bobby Ray is definitely an artist to look out for.
So…. I gotta go through ALL my iTunes songs with B.o.B. and change them to Bobby Ray?
Not necessarily. You could simply type “B.o.B.” in the iTunes search bar, limit it to the artist, press CTRL+A to highlight all the songs and then you can change the name of the artist all at once.
Generation lost is great and B.o.B is amazing
