Newcomer rapper B.o.B recently opened up about his ability to make ‘organic’ music without having a large budget from a major record label. The Nothin’ On You hit-maker believes that his best records came from the time when he didn’t have all the resources he enjoys now.

Talking with YRB Magazine: “I made the best music when I didn’t have a budget. And when I say best, I mean more organic music when I had a smaller budget, and that’s something that I’m trying to stay in touch with. It’s like, who’s to say what sounds right?

“If it sounds good to me, then that’s cool because I’m the artist. You have so many people who are forcing the hand of artistry. And I think that’s what I don’t want to lose as the budgets get bigger.”

I like B.o.B, though his approach to Hip Hop is a lot more calmer he still can deliver deep meaning through his words. Airplanes is a really great track and also Ghost In The Machine. His album overall is not that bad, but I feel he can be better.
Let us know what you think – B.o.B providing a nice element into the industry?
