He never had a very strong brand. Not much for an identifyable image either. Try to think of how you would dress up like BoB for Halloween. Even if you do your best, how many people do you think would get it? Before the flat earth shit, what did BoB represent? Someone like the weeknd for example, represents a playboy lifestyle & a bit of a nilisitic worldview. 50 cent represents resilience & ambition (many rappers do, but 50 really embodies those things). Lil Wayne (2008 & up) represents fun & carefree plain and simple, but in a way that can be identified with by the people who dont identify with Katy Perry for example. Try to make this same type of analysis for BoB. It won't be nearly as straightforward, & anything you do come up with will probably be easy to find contradictions for.
I actually like quite a bit of Elements and some of his recent releases, but the conspiracy stuff just reeks of desperation to me. I really don’t think he believes any of it
B.o.B's career didn't end because he "dissed Neil DeGrasse Tyson," it's because ANY personal controversy when you're at a career lowpoint is liable to end your career. He hadn't had a Top Ten single in years, THEN he came out as a Flat Earther.
“Rock Me Tonite” is such a banger. It’s such a shame that video was so beyond cheesy because he had gotten to the heights of REO Speedwagon, Rick Springfield, Pat Benatar, Eddie Money, Foreigner, Toto, Night Ranger, and Journey and could’ve contended with Def Leppard, 80s Heart & Bon Jovi. Sadly, it that did the harm somehow “We Built This City” didn’t kill Starship. Such a damn shame.

Both Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake could go on here too. Katy Perry already had a decline with her WITNESS era, but Swish Swish was really the song that did her in. It seemed like her most desperate attempt to stay relevant, but the video focused on all the worst elements of her as an artist. And then Justin Timberlake, releasing Filthy as the lead single of the Man Of The Woods era poisoned that whole project before it even came out.
Those aren't really controversial though, they just kind of fell off. I don't remember Katy Perry denying the holocaust or some crazy shit like that lol
@@FourthIdentity-gu2zk The problem with Swish Swish was that it was a direct response to Taylor’s Bad Blood, which in comparison is a much more successful existence. Neither song was the greatest masterpiece lyrically, but not only was Taylor’s just weak disses while Katy’s made _no sense,_ that music video and the dated memes showed that Katy had no real backbone. You’d think someone as popular as her would have a better response. Oh yeah, and it took her three years after Bad Blood to release it. Taylor was too caught up in the Kimye stuff to care, it just looked like Katy was being immature about it
If there's ever an older song that I know well but don't remember the artist it's always Billy Squier. Good job including him on this list. Sometimes people will recognize sampled songs and it totally turns them into a new fan of older artists. Thanks for recognizing a great artist who was unfairly clouded over by the industry.
It is so tragic what happened to B.o.B. He had everything on a platter. I remember because I would bump his music crazy. I even bought his album on CD when it came out. He got a feature with Eminem, and other well-known artists. But when you start saying nonsense and it’s not about music anymore. People lose touch.
1. The dumbest part of it was Ross didnt even explain what the "misinterpretation" was. Then tell us because otherwise it sounds clear as day. 2. The damning thing about it is the time period we are in now. Because honestly there are a LOT worse lyrics and verses out there in rap songs. But most of those are in the 80s and 90s. You couldnt get away with more than saying half that stuff now
Technically you can, you just can't make it seem like you actually believe those things. The entire genre of Horrorcore is littered with this kind of shit and yet is alive and well.
Music has gotten WAAAAY raunchier and nastier and violent over the years. You have been brainwashed by right wing media if you think everything nowadays is somehow cleaner than the 90s.
@@dairebeare7839 Even though a Rapper can have a little lead way in what he or she is saying and even that has its limits.. Rick Ross had time to rethink that line and even had a chance to erase it.. Still had a chance to call the studio and tell them he wanted to rerecord the verse. He thought that line was good. Even I would have looked at him and told him. *"Yo Rick, You think that line is a good idea to use?"* Somebody had to speak up but no one didn't..
BOB is one of the biggest fumbles ever. After he dropped Nothing On You, he was ON FIRE. Quadruple threat.. hitmaker, musician, lyricist, with the right backing and cosigns. SMH! By the time he dropped flatline he had already fallen off though, sadly. The Only person I’ve seen fumble harder is Charles Hamilton. Bro had the internet cheat code, until shorty snuffed him and then he had his mental health issues 😢
Probably not since he already talked about Robin in artists who ruined their career with one album so it would probably be pretty cheap to go over that again. But I do think he fits better in this video
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852It’ll never not be strange to me how people seemingly dogpiled on Robin Thicke for cheating on his wife when so many other celebrities and non celebrities alike have also done that.
One of my favorite things about B.o.B was that he played guitar. He made a song called "play the guitar", which even featured himself with a guitar on the album cover. All that, and there was absolutely zero guitar on the song.
Billy Squire (and his band) were remarkably talented and his response to what happened was understandable, even though I didn't think it COULD be lol. The other issue some had with him was the very obvious 'influence' of Led Zeppelin on his music and overall sound.
Billy Squire did something that was rare/unheard of in the days of rock , he wasn't ashamed to brace the "unmacho" side (I dunno what its called today) but he was doing what many would called "gay embracing" . which back then, the whole gay lifestyle was deemed un masculine and sick. Nowadays, if someone in any field of music did what he did- no one would bat an eye, look at Harry Styles . Hell even queen's "I want to break free" was banned in some parts of America (even MTV) because of dudes in drags. The world was weird back then.
Great edit, Matty. Anyone knows how he achieves the RGB colorish effect? Is it an adjustment layer or something? You can notice it at the edges of the video; top and bottom.
I miss B.O.B. A rapper with his energy, voice and lyrics combined with todays flow, wordplay and instrumentals would basically be the best rapper build for today
Video was a 10/10 but While watching this video my pc turned off at 8:20 and it refuses to turn back on I’m returning the pc to the store cause it’s still under warranty
…i feel like b.o.b had already faded out of the hip hop culture before he dropped that song . like…we had already stopped listening before he dropped that .
Ten years ago, I recall a rapper who cut a track, and I still remember this phrase: (I'll keep it PG!) "IDGAF about GOD...", and surprisingly, I ain't heard it since!!
that video was just 2 drunk uncles dancing ....then you find out that they once had a homosexual0ish relationship and it became the 80s definition of "Gay".
neil degrasse tyson releasing a diss track to clap back at a rapper who believed in flat earth theories was not something i ever thought i'd hear but im so glad i did
Is anyone here Jewish? I have genuine questions about stereotypes, perceptions, I honestly want to know why it seems like saying anything your community dislikes can distroy a person's life, etc. Rick Ross survived cause Rap music has normalized horrible behaviour that is detrimental to women, minors and men.
I know this was released two months ago but I JUST remembered that an indie artist named Penelope Scott fits the bill for this as well. She was doing petty well with her songs like Rät and True Crime up until she released "Self Care", a borderline unlistenable song about how over-saturated and expensive the "self care" community is. It was purposely made to be audibly overwhelming due to the message but there's the problem: if the song is genuinely bad, no one gives a shit about the message. It even leaked into the mainstream where a lot of people clowned on her for a longwhile. I haven't heard anything about her since and none of her songs have gotten popular afterwards.
Im honestly skepitcal about Billy Squier's career dying because of a music video. The album it was off of was pretty divisive amongst his fans due to its more "poppy" sensibilities and is considered by critics to be way weaker than his first three albums. Not to mention, tons of bad music videos have been made that haven’t really hurt anyone's career (take for instinct Bowie and Mick Jagger's awkward "Dancing in the Streets" music video). So the music video i dont think was the culprit. More so a slight change in sound and not being as good as his early output, though the music video most likely didn't help.
Billy Squier: You make the mistake, in the 80s, of hiring a zesty choreographer to "direct" your music video. Your instincts TOLD YOU that the video set was zesty AF beforehand; yet, you proceeded forward, causing your fan base to take a catastrophic hit. You decide to try to recover by collaborating with Freddy Mercury, an even more zesty dude 😅 Billy......that was not helping your recovery😂

Yeah, I like B.O.B too.. He did this to himself though..
This dude's vids never disappoint , still don't know why he still has a thousands of fans while he should've been havin' a millions of fans.🔥🔥
B.O.B low-key looks like Doctur Dot 😂 especially with he long hair 😅
B.o.b was and is one of my favorite artists of all time. He’s dope. His mixtapes are fire.
🔥🔥🔥vids bro
I truly appreciate your video because I had no idea what happened to B.O.B. 😅
Video was a 10/10 but While watching this video my pc turned off at 8:20 and it refuses to turn back on I’m returning the pc to the store cause it’s still under warranty
Hope you get that replaced with no hastle haha
9:20 Under a minute is insane bro
What is bro eating 💀
@@romeersharma5423 bro swallowing his food whole 😭
Love the vids man really interesting
…i feel like b.o.b had already faded out of the hip hop culture before he dropped that song . like…we had already stopped listening before he dropped that .
B.o.B slander will not be tolerated bros shit from like 2008 to 2015 is GOLD
damn you lookin good recently keep it up
Ten years ago, I recall a rapper who cut a track, and I still remember this phrase: (I'll keep it PG!) "IDGAF about GOD...", and surprisingly, I ain't heard it since!!
BOB’s elements mixtapes go hard!!
B.o.B had already fallen off by the time he dropped Flatline, the flat Earth stuff was just the nail in the coffin.
How did he fall of before that?
Rick Ross Treyvon Martin reference should of had him cancelled as well.
man the thumbnail brung me here , I miss B.O.B dissing the industry and masses
Bowie and Jaggers "dancing in the streets" video was just as bad as squires
It didn't ruin them though
that video was just 2 drunk uncles dancing ....then you find out that they once had a homosexual0ish relationship and it became the 80s definition of "Gay".
People always try to label the truth as “conspiracies” or “crazy opinions”. People need to wake up.
dont forget
mattyballzto1million
we been here from the jump
neil degrasse tyson releasing a diss track to clap back at a rapper who believed in flat earth theories was not something i ever thought i'd hear but im so glad i did
Was it good though or were you in it for the clout and hype??
@@alphinmesa-ks7st it was good
Lol funny thing is b.o.b. Was already talking about”crazy” dating back to 2010. The mixtape no genre is where I noticed it.
Can’t help but feel for Billy Squire. Among every other subject in this video, he didn’t deserve that.
Cool upload mr balls 👍
“The last guy”
Plow to watch to end
Rick Ross running from his homey getting beat up in Canada will be the death blow
Is anyone here Jewish? I have genuine questions about stereotypes, perceptions, I honestly want to know why it seems like saying anything your community dislikes can distroy a person's life, etc.
Rick Ross survived cause Rap music has normalized horrible behaviour that is detrimental to women, minors and men.
Thank you!
I know this was released two months ago but I JUST remembered that an indie artist named Penelope Scott fits the bill for this as well.
She was doing petty well with her songs like Rät and True Crime up until she released "Self Care", a borderline unlistenable song about how over-saturated and expensive the "self care" community is. It was purposely made to be audibly overwhelming due to the message but there's the problem: if the song is genuinely bad, no one gives a shit about the message. It even leaked into the mainstream where a lot of people clowned on her for a longwhile. I haven't heard anything about her since and none of her songs have gotten popular afterwards.
Magnets. How do they work?
Im honestly skepitcal about Billy Squier's career dying because of a music video. The album it was off of was pretty divisive amongst his fans due to its more "poppy" sensibilities and is considered by critics to be way weaker than his first three albums. Not to mention, tons of bad music videos have been made that haven’t really hurt anyone's career (take for instinct Bowie and Mick Jagger's awkward "Dancing in the Streets" music video). So the music video i dont think was the culprit. More so a slight change in sound and not being as good as his early output, though the music video most likely didn't help.
Wasn't Billy Squier the same guy The Strokes namedropped in one of their songs?
Crazy I’m actually rewatching korra today before taking a break and watching this😂
Of course a man who couldn't pass basic physics would think the earth is flat
B.O.B dropping out of high school explains EVERYTHING LMAO
3:21 see....thats when i like people 😂❤ theyre all on beat cold kickin it with each other
He never said he didnt believe it , he just said ppl was pissed 8:06
This guy looks like a low budget Hack Harlow
I remember that, I was very intrigued 5:15
Billy Squier:
You make the mistake, in the 80s, of hiring a zesty choreographer to "direct" your music video.
Your instincts TOLD YOU that the video set was zesty AF beforehand; yet, you proceeded forward, causing your fan base to take a catastrophic hit.
You decide to try to recover by collaborating with Freddy Mercury, an even more zesty dude 😅
Billy......that was not helping your recovery😂
Congrats on beating out rap legend Matty B for the Factor sponsorship
Hope you're feeling better, bro
