B.o.B has had a weird profession trajectory. He broke out as a genre-hopping hitmaker. He then made a tough pivot into lure music and conspiracy theories. The rapper declared that the Earth was flat, after which dropped a diss observe in opposition to astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. House Time, B.o.B’s newest album, sees him proceed his conspiracy principle wave. The rapper decides to throw a tinfoil hat on and take pictures on the buildings that he believes are holding the general public again. The opening observe, “He Who Stays,” is a really becoming sampler of what is to return. A radio broadcast detailing a UFO sighting blurs right into a catchy beat through which B.o.B references Ozempic and his outsider standing within the rap sport.
B.o.B remains to be charismatic as ever on the microphone. The musical number of his earlier albums is nowhere to be discovered, although. As a substitute, the rapper opts for a batch of instrumentals that sound like leftovers from Ab-Soul‘s Do What Thou Wilt periods. “Publicity” sports activities a trippy synth line harking back to an previous scifi film. B.o.B matches its off-kilter vitality with a nimble movement. “Zoot” and “Bootstrap Paradox” are much less pointed of their societal critiques than its the opening observe suggests. That mentioned, they’re entertaining if taken on their very own deserves. “Like Me a Lot” is the very best beat on the album, with a haunting vocal chant working all through and an wistful horn riff. “Black Phillip” is a 9 minute epic of a better, with some impressed musical passages. It is a disgrace House Time is not as experimental because the tune is total, but it surely’s nonetheless value trying out.
