Can you feel turbulence?

Bobby Ray (aka B.o.B) is the real deal. I personally feel like the phrase "the real deal" is pretty stupid so if I use it, rest assured it's not being used lightly. I'm not going to waste time comparing him and talking him up, because, 1. He is going to blow up very soon regardless, and 2. He talks himself up enough for the both of us. Let me analyze him using unconventional but worthwhile criteria: his ability to perform live. I've seen him twice, at the Apache Cafe in Atlanta in June and at Sonar Club in Baltimore in September. His energy and utter seizure of the audience makes his performances a full immersion experience. Even people who had gone to Sonar to see Schwayze (eh) were compelled to rave. Bonus: he plays some guitar and his band is very solid (check out Asian bass man who smiles widely throughout the show). YOU need to acquire YOU some right HERE.
