My Thoughts: The Story Behind Blunts Over Bitches.

As most of you who follow us know, this January 1, 2012 I released a 5-song mixtape entitled “Blunts Over Bitches” (B.o.b). The record has been out a week now and we are happy with the response we’ve gotten so far. We sent in the mixtape to multiple websites and magazines and it is being reviewed by a few of them. Our statistics show a lot of people are listening, and a few are even giving us feedback, which is awesome. I’ve always said I’d rather hear someone tell me, “Hey, I really wasn’t feeling this track” rather then say nothing at all. I was raised as an actor and I feed off of criticism, good and bad.

At this point I find it necessary to briefly explain the story behind B.o.b., seeing as though I have had a decent number of people asking me why I suddenly hate women. To start out I am not a sexist. I do not condone the degrading of women or cheating or calling them “bitches” or “cunts” or any other references I speak to in the songs. Blunts Over Bitches is a play off of the more famous saying, “Money Over Bitches.” I thought this would be a clever, catchy title that would draw people in and set the tone for the entire record.

Speaking of tone, I’m sure if you’ve listened to any of the tracks you noticed the intensity behind the music. This mixtape was directly inspired by a breakup I had over the summer of 2011. Even me, the "Master of all G’s” found myself being left by the woman I cared for, and there was nothing I could do......

Written in a time of frustration and heartbreak, even though these songs are aggressive and angry, if you look subtly at the big picture you’ll see this entire mixtape is nothing more than a diary of my thoughts at the time. Much like a good friend might tell you after a breakup that, “you are beautiful/good looking,” “you can do better than him/her,” or “he/she doesn’t deserve you,” these tracks were really my way of keeping my confidence up even when I felt rejected and broken. You can hear me as an artist almost reassuring myself that I am a “boss,” that I am a “ladies man,” that I’ve got “girls talking about” me all the time.

I think love is a strange thing, but I do believe in it. I just think people need to realize as you deal with relationships in your life there is no such thing as a guarantee that any of it will last. Whenever I’m struggling I think of my parents, who got divorced after 32 years of marriage, and I almost laugh at myself for being upset about a breakup after 6 months. You can’t control other people or how they feel and because of that it’s my personal opinion that your mindset should always be “Blunts Over Bitches,” even if you fall for someone completely. You should always be mentally prepared to continue life without the person you are with. The minute you depend on someone else for your happiness you loose your strength and independence. I found this out the hard way. 

It’s funny how different relationships play out. There are so many different circumstances yet at the end of the day we can all relate because we are all essentially dealing with the same issues and that is why I think this mixtape is so relatable to my audience. Even if you are a girl replace "bitch" and "cunt" with "douche" and "asshole" and you'll realize you probably feel the same way about someone in your life. 

This mixtape was short and sweet and although I would’ve liked more time to work with it I am also in the beginning stages of production of my first completely original album and I chose to make that a priority. I genuinely hope you all enjoy the new tracks and actually download them. After all they are FREE. And I hope by reading this you understand a little more about the story behind my second mixtape ever recorded, Blunts Over Bitches.

I love you all and I thank you for your continued support!
