This album scored him three top-10 hits and established him as the poster boy for a rapper to "cross over." His first official album on Atlantic, "B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray," saw him work with Paramore's Hayley Williams and Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo alongside Atlanta rappers T.I. But when it came time to finally cross over for his major label debut, it was with 'Nothin' on You' featuring a po-faced, pop crooner Bruno Mars. That reputation helped him land on the revolving door of a label known as YMCMB (Young Money Cash Money Billionaires), which includes superstars Drake, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj, as well as many others who, like Gates, never got a chance to release a record during their time with the label.ī.o.B's roots in the major-label system go back to 2006, when he signed with Atlantic Records and spent the next couple of years making well-received and respected music that traded between his rap and pop sides. Despite the fact he has never crossed over onto radio, he is a regional superstar. Gates, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, had worked hard for years in the deep South building and crafting a fan base in the vein of Lil Boosie. Gates' stock and trade is his relatability and authenticity, while B.o.B is known at this point for his unwavering commitment to major labels' ever-changing whims, which found him moving from lofty comparisons to OutKast's André 3000 to bending over backward to pander to the pop-rap demands of the radio.
But beyond their label connection, light-skinned complexion, and southern drawl, little connects these two. The two rappers, both on Atlantic Records, perform together at Baltimore Soundstage next week. The growing chasm between mainstream rap and street rap is evident in the contrasting career arcs of Kevin Gates and B.o.B.
