Young Bob: "Roberto CaBobby" Mixtape

I'm tired of rap monickers that start with "Young" and I find Bob's voice a bit annoying, but the former GoDAV member and East Oakland representer managed to win me over anyway. Though the mixtape sticks to many of rap's favorite topics (i.e. sex and stuntin), Bob presents them in a new and novel form.

For instance, his song "Sex and Candy Paint" is a remake of Marcy Playground's 1997 rock record "Sex and Candy."


"First Date" features a nice acoustic guitar riff and catchy melody thanks to The Dizzy Balloons and Cyrano of The Cataracs.


And if you need a nice feel good summertime joint to cruise the Aves to, check out "Gangsta's Paradise." I guess what we've learned from my selections is that rap with guitar > rap without guitar. I'm just sayin.
