If you came here after this long, you’re a real hip hop fan who’s been true to the culture. I remember when BOB dropped these hits, hip hop had very grim and dark lyrics. These kinda ones were uplifting and gave a fresh vibe to the whole scene. Love from Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰
Right!! Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Elements are all amazing albums by him!! People just need to open their ears and stop being ignorant brainwashed sheep
I miss this B.o.B... I still rock with him, but man he could've reached other levels... wayyy higher levels I remembering sharing this with my friends and telling them this is the one right here.. ah man..
It pains me that he's now known for his Flat Earth bullshit and other sketchy comments. Why didn't he just focus on music? He's a talented musician: songwriter, singer, guitarist, and pianist. Did he get bored or lazy?
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 yeah he focused on the wrong things I guess.. he didnt get bored or laze.. he just changed his music to rap for no reason I guess, rocking with TI and all that.. I mean changing his style completely, ofc u going to lose like 80% of ur fans right? it was the reason why they fell in love with ur craft.. but it is what it is..
Why tf yall think ya know what would have been the best for this mans live 😂 Weird af...I think he is doing better than all of us in the comments, internally and externally.
@@theelitepowerwithinyouwait no you got it all wrong. The reason he didn’t last longer than a couple albums is because he went pop instead of the rap/r&b he used to make
capt. chaos thank you that's ATL FLAVOR, plus he grew up on outkast, it's gon show in the music, hell big krit sometimes sound like ugk and 8ball & MjG
B.o.B was sending a message in this video. Letting us know that he'd be in the sky one day, knowing damn well that he'd be the one to reveal the truth to us. If you aren't listening to his current mixtapes then you aren't a true fan. This song has a much deeper meaning that most of you know. He knew way back then that he wasn't going to sell his soul and that it would most likely end up with him dying but he knew he'd end up in the sky if he did.
then why in "so good" is he dancing on black an white checkered? almost all of them sell out an then try to change later on haha, ask my opinion an i say its all bs haha even if the itanimulli was real what is it to you? are they bothering you?
As a depressive atheist from a mostly christian family, I've thought about how my funeral could acknowledge my philosophy while still giving a comforting/celebratory vibe for my loved ones. And I'd definitely like this song to be played.
@@derrickscott9469 I know that it is hard, but he will not give up on you if you dedicate your life to him without retention. My life changed after I returned to him. Be strong brother, I'll pray for you!
I don't think there is any style B.o.B can't make great. Several of his song have hit keys with me and opened my eyes. Wish I would have found this awesome artist sooner.
I remember hearing this in an Adidas outlet while shopping for gym shoes in 2012. What a bop. What a time. What an outlet. We need some more B.o.B. Dude could heal the nation. Outkast too. Those guys can rock a crowd.
B.o.B IS Starting Too Make ME Think Like YES Lord!!! Life is extremely shorttttttttt!!!!! WOW😮😮😮😮😮😮😮Just Love Yourself And Love💙🧡💛🧡💙💜💜💜💕💕One Another God Bless You All! 😍🤗
Man what the fuck happened to real music. I cant believe i forgot about this man. Music back then was so damn positive and uplifting. Like hell is wrong with our society, Much love and many blessings to all
Glide Gaming I know right. It’s sad b/c ever since the whole earth is flat theory, people think he’s crazy. Dude is talented, can sing, rap very well, writes and produces his music, and plays multiple instruments. I wish people would give him more recognition
@@JWill951 Agreed, he is a well-rounded musician. However, the craziness is his own fault. I don't know what he hopes to gain from believing the Earth is flat, or claiming the 1969 moon landings were faked. Sometimes celebrities really should shut up.
One of the best modern Hip Hop / Pop Artists. Just got back into B.O.B. Amazing! Aeroplanes, Ghost in the Machine and I'll be in the Sky are fantastic songs!
I'm 14, my dad is a huge beastie boys guy and introduced me to a lot of 2000's rap growing up, I hadn't heard this in years but I randomly remembered fragments of this video, and the chorus just magically reappeared in my mind after years, and I was able to sing along with basically the whole song, I can't believe how long it's been.. this makes me so happy just thinking about how little I was when I started listening to this and how so much has changed :)
shafkat azim Self-righteous white people bitching about money, hoes and drugs can shove it. All genres of music sing about money, drugs and sex you racist idiots
***** Did you miss the video on his channel where talks about underground luxury? Saying that he's new album covers the type of content he has been wanting to produce but didn't do it 'cos of his fans. His new direction is a personal choice; heavy indulgence in women and materialism. That's just how B.o.B is feeling. He knows his fans wanted more music like this but it doesn't express who B.o.B is right now and what he's up to.
Pink and Andre 300 are perfect examples. Do what you have to get in the game. Get ya name and then do what you feel. He didnt fall off. He now has his musical freedom. Its a beautiful thing!!!
All you people wondering "what happened to this B.o.B", he's still there. Stop acting like artists aren't people. Don't you Change as years go by? Don't you experience different things in your Life and adjust? Aren't you happy one minute, and sad the next? Don't you get mad? Stop demanding artists to be so damn one dimensional and learn to appreciate all sides of them.
Frenchy P.k.A. JeenyuZ He seems to have regressed though. You're right in everything you're saying, but stuff like all i want just seems forced and unnatural. The opposite of "keeping it real". Fair if he wants to express different sides of him self, it just doesn't seem like its him self that he's expressing.
nicsevern wussup. Thanks for your response. "All I Want" may seem a whole lot different from what you heard previous to that song... but those feelings may have always been inside of him. I don't think that song is as shallow as people make it out to be... I think it just expresses the desire that all of us have to make money. We wanna live comfortably. As far as him rapping about buying fancy things, I can see how that could make him seem contradictory... he's been on songs in the past where he talks about how money doesn't really matter.
I have such a huge crush on this man. He's my boo in my head...lol. And I think what he was trying to say in this song is that he's gonna put out a few albums and then lay low. He's in his 30's, so he probably wants to settle down and have a family and live a normal life. So he'll be in the sky if u want him or need him. Meaning u can download his music anytime.
2018 yall man I miss this him and I'm 14....This is one of my fav songs even now and used to be on the family CD before it got too scratched to play anymore
1:31 the one in the mirror ain't me, it's someone I just call B.o.B, it's kinda me, but it's not. It is just a mask that I got, so that I can rap and get off my block You know people are asking where the old B.o.B went? And the response is always he just went mainstream. lol, c'mon B.o.B is his rap persona. His first single is Haterz Everywhere, the style is completely different from this if you even bother to listen to it. The lyrics is even stating it, he is talking to us in a third person point of view,, so this song is coming from him, Bobby Ray. In every album you can see there are two people in them. Every album is always B.o.B vs Bobby Ray
If you came here after this long, you’re a real hip hop fan who’s been true to the culture. I remember when BOB dropped these hits, hip hop had very grim and dark lyrics. These kinda ones were uplifting and gave a fresh vibe to the whole scene. Love from Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰

@@MegaKommentoija Perkele. Another finn here on a nostalgiatrip. Such an amazing song.
2024 who’s still here?🔥🔥
Always
I'm here but so long
Anyone else miss when B.o.B was an underground rapper before breaking out? I miss these days of B.o.B, and rap in general
Same here. I periodically come back to these songs to reminisce about how great musicians screw their careers up!
Who listen to this in 2024
me frfrr
Out here
Me
Hee 2
I remember hearing it from kindergarten and I'm still listening
B.o.B is so underrated! He's definitely one of the best artists, he can rap and sing as well as actually provide meaningful lyrics when he wants to
***** exactly
***** Which is what he raps about now, Sadly. Look up his song headband, for example
The Wiggzler he has to if he wants to make money
Right!! Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Elements are all amazing albums by him!! People just need to open their ears and stop being ignorant brainwashed sheep
@@JahsGift They slept on Elements...
I always come back to this song at least a handful of times a year. Love this track!
Same. It’s timeless ✌🏾
Good vibes
Yes ser🤌🏼
I Will Always Come Back Too This
🙏🏼✨🦋✨🙏🏼✨♥️✨🦋✨🙏🏼
Same! Those were the days!
I remember when this came out in 2008, can’t believe it’s been 11 years
2009 bro
For real. Crazy how fast time goes..
2008 it was first released
I was 10 this shit made me sad first hearing it back then
Yo RIP Phillip 🙏
Bout this time!
This Definitely That Outkast Type Vibe
I miss this B.o.B... I still rock with him, but man he could've reached other levels... wayyy higher levels
I remembering sharing this with my friends and telling them this is the one right here.. ah man..

Man the memories , the music , this song , these goosebumps.
I was obsessed with this song back in high school. B.o.B was killing it back then
Yeah, I was in high school back then as well! I wish he didn't screw his own career!
how many of you here are 28-30? this was a classic.
I love this song! It's one of my favorite songs. I love the Outkast feel to it!
is it just me or does this sound like an outkast song?
Ikr :P
sounds just like Andre 3000... not hating, just saying
Honestly, that's not a bad thing. That's actually pretty dope.
Kezycat111 Thought the exact same thing when i heard it at first.
Kezycat111 I thought it was until he said his name
Bob made the kinda tunes 11 years ago I’m still listening to right now
if ur listening 2 this during quarantine, u hve good taste ;) ! .yox
this has that Outkast whole wide world vibe to it
TimTharealdeal Harris almost biting the style completely
TimTharealdeal Harris I thought that to
that's supposed to be like that. he is from where they are from that's who he grew up on. he is showing outkast his love for them.
capt. chaos thank you that's ATL FLAVOR, plus he grew up on outkast, it's gon show in the music, hell big krit sometimes sound like ugk and 8ball & MjG
Lmao I came to show my girl what song reminded me of that OutKast song...he was deff inspired
Man, it's 2023 and this banger is still bananas🔥🔥
This is still incredible. Especially the ending. Gets me everytime!
Woke up singing this and had to hear it. 2024 🎉
Lads...we let our boy B.O.B truly fall. Man's career is dead, but not forgotten.
VERY TRUE THIS SONG SLAPS-
Thats what his song hit hard on him
He still drops good music
I literally saw him live last month, he's still straight fire
The only reason he thinks the earth is flat is cus he fell off
Some ppl are saying this song is terrible. I happen to think it's very catchy and a good song.
U ever get a feeling when you just sitting down and a song comes to mind and start signing in your head
All the time, bro.
B.o.B is my all time favorite Alien rappers, outta this world for sho!!!!
look at him feeling so happy =D
i miss that guy :'D
B.o.B was sending a message in this video. Letting us know that he'd be in the sky one day, knowing damn well that he'd be the one to reveal the truth to us. If you aren't listening to his current mixtapes then you aren't a true fan. This song has a much deeper meaning that most of you know. He knew way back then that he wasn't going to sell his soul and that it would most likely end up with him dying but he knew he'd end up in the sky if he did.
very well said my friend
WARNING DON'T CLICK No. He was singing a song. Sing, rap. Same difference
then what's up with song with him a Niki out of my mind?
WARNING DON'T CLICK I listen to his new elements albums they deep
then why in "so good" is he dancing on black an white checkered? almost all of them sell out an then try to change later on haha, ask my opinion an i say its all bs haha even if the itanimulli was real what is it to you? are they bothering you?
Bring this B.o.B back plz.
Thanks,
The World.
For real, I miss this shit
6 years later, i still bump this like day one when i first saw this video premiere on VH1. His best song to date
Forreal. Good ol days
I miss those days
put me on - b.o.b
Ill be in the sky
Holy shit vh1? That shit ancient
Beautiful childhood n teenage memories for this song 😢❤
B.O.B. man you were so damn awesome.
Cletus Kasady nah, listen to paper route. he's still bobby ray, just gotta make a living though
Cletus Kasady imagine being in his shoes bro
***** Yh man its true some people just don't get it
#Hipster?
Dilawar Qadri listen to 'am i a psycho - tech n9ne' his flow on that is fire

Edit: Still here 3 years later in 2024
As a depressive atheist from a mostly christian family, I've thought about how my funeral could acknowledge my philosophy while still giving a comforting/celebratory vibe for my loved ones. And I'd definitely like this song to be played.
go follow Christ's path brother, you'll not regret

This song aged very well
I always loved this song but since I been leaning looking for truth about this world we live in.. his lyrics just hit on a different level...
I remember hearing this in an Adidas outlet while shopping for gym shoes in 2012. What a bop. What a time. What an outlet.
We need some more B.o.B.
Dude could heal the nation. Outkast too. Those guys can rock a crowd.

Seconded
Lol yes
This song makes me wanna dream :) B.O.B please don't change for the money !! Stay Strong

B.O.B for life 💯🔥
remind anyone of covid

here's one
this gives me goosebumps.
#1 of a true rapper!!! No doubt hands down this guy has been slept on by the media. Lyrical genius!!
no suprise when he thinks the earth is flat lol
‘To failing my class and now being on lock down’ hit harder rn in 2020
This B.o.B 🔥🔥🔥🚀
THIS SONG HAD SO MUCH MEANING IN IT!
im definately having this playing at my funeral, definately. love it so much!
It sad seeing B.O.B's old stuff and how big he got and now if you mention B.O.B people will look at you crazy

Hello July 2024
One of my favourite artists from the first time I heard this song! we're lucky to experience B.o.B
Man it’s crazy this song never left my head 2020❤️❤️❤️💯💯
One of the best modern Hip Hop / Pop Artists.
Just got back into B.O.B. Amazing!
Aeroplanes, Ghost in the Machine and I'll be in the Sky are fantastic songs!
I’ll be in the sky
This was the best B.O.B era 💞
B.o.b. is so underrated, one of my all time favorite songs !!!!!!
Like this so I come back more regularly
forgot how much I actually love this 💞
I'm 14, my dad is a huge beastie boys guy and introduced me to a lot of 2000's rap growing up, I hadn't heard this in years but I randomly remembered fragments of this video, and the chorus just magically reappeared in my mind after years, and I was able to sing along with basically the whole song, I can't believe how long it's been.. this makes me so happy just thinking about how little I was when I started listening to this and how so much has changed :)
miss this B.o.B
please come back man !
well atleast in this video B.O.B isnt rapping about money drugs or hoes.. so i like it
that's the only reason you like it? I liked everything from the beat, chorus, bridge (my favorite part) and the lyrics. its my favorite song by him.
no all that stuff is good... i just prefer good lyrics over a 'sick' beat
shafkat azim and no medicore
Only listen to his radio hits right? Of course you would ignore his other music thats great
shafkat azim
Self-righteous white people bitching about money, hoes and drugs can shove it. All genres of music sing about money, drugs and sex you racist idiots
My favorite B.O.B classic track of all time.
Facebook comment from 10+ Years ago shouting out this song brought me here!! 🔥 I would still hit a B.o.b concert til this day! Bless!
He looks so happy doing this song unlike the new crap.
Seriously tho... lol
well the song his upbeat lol, of course he looks happy.
***** There's a difference between happy and trying to look happy...
***** Did you miss the video on his channel where talks about underground luxury? Saying that he's new album covers the type of content he has been wanting to produce but didn't do it 'cos of his fans.

I always love his vibes he gave off!!!

Am i wrong to think he sounds like andre 3000 in this?
+Cody T i was just thinking that. Its the Atlanta in him :)
+Cody T Dude, the first time I heard this I thought it was Andre, esp after the first lyrics
+Cody T no i literally immediately thought of that lmao
+Cody T both from Georgia
+Cody T Well he has been compared to him a lot of times.
I was 9 and I'm now 16 I remember when this first came out😭
Chris Win right??
And now ur 18
I'm sure you have a baby now
This song still goes hard in 2024. B.o.B’s best song ever 👏🏾👏🏾
Pure singalong song
This song is so dope.i feel it
It's always the good rappers that start off amazing then start to be crap I miss this kind of b.o.b
He isn't crap but he has changed he still has a couple good songs he still has a chance to impress us all don't give up on him yet.
I have such a huge crush on this man. He's my boo in my head...lol. And I think what he was trying to say in this song is that he's gonna put out a few albums and then lay low. He's in his 30's, so he probably wants to settle down and have a family and live a normal life. So he'll be in the sky if u want him or need him. Meaning u can download his music anytime.
This song gets stuck in my head for weeks!
He has the pretties smile ever!!! 😀
Back when they used to say B.o.B. was the Next Andre 3000
The good o’l days
Oh the old b.o.b.
Still love this song!! The sound reminds me of old school outkast!!!
I heard this song from my 5 brothers and I love it ever since
MANE!!! Basically gave you the legal definition for "person" first 2 lines!!!
i wish people still made songs like this
this song is like drugs its ADDICTIVE
Going Into 2021 Still Listening!🥰🙏🏾😇 GOD BLESS YOU B.O.B !
Still here!
if people like your old songs bob WHY NOT GO BACK TO YOUR OLD WAYS
Too stupid 4 words
Because artists have to evolve. People could like the 1920's more then they like 2015 but the world has to evolve.
@@naiyabaiya But blindly following the latest trends and sucking meaning from the music isn't evolution.
Still here in 2020 ❤️ good music never gets old
If i get 300 thumbs up, Im playing this song at my funeral.
Fuck yeah do that shit lol
Watching this reminds me of MTV Jams playing hits
2018 yall man I miss this him and I'm 14....This is one of my fav songs even now and used to be on the family CD before it got too scratched to play anymore
Still blasting in 2020 ??
1:31
the one in the mirror ain't me,
it's someone I just call B.o.B,
it's kinda me, but it's not.
It is just a mask that I got, so that I can rap and get off my block
You know people are asking where the old B.o.B went? And the response is always he just went mainstream. lol, c'mon B.o.B is his rap persona.

I definitely feel he was inspired by outkast
