Whether you’re a fan of this blog or not you all know I have certain disdain for Mr. Bobby Valentino. And though some people often times classify me as a hater, I’m here to tell you all that’s just not true.

While my feelings towards Mr. Valentino may not be the best, his video for his second single (first official), “Anonymous” is out and I got to admit, it’s kinda hot. I’ve selected it for this weeks Poppin or Floppin video.

The one thing that can’t be denied about the small wonder is his musical growth and vocal ability. When his new song “Don’t Turn The Page” dropped last fall I was surprised to find out Bobby V was the vocalist. I was very impressed!

Though I’ve been hearing some not so good things about his project from people behind the scenes, this song might actually get people interested. While Bobby isn’t a really a “R&B Star” stateside, I’m told that he’s very big overseas. But, I don’t put much stock in that assessment.

Good Job BV!! It seems that you might actually have a chance at making something out of yourself in this game. But am I the only one who is looking at this entire situation with a crooked eye. Yesterday Shawnna's gets dropped, and suddenly Bobby's video drops online. Talk about the things that make you go hhhmmm!

What y’all think, is this video “Poppin” or “Floppin”?

Talk to y'all lata,

SOHH Midget why do you hate Bobby Valentino? Did he show up late to an event like Jeezy and snub your request for an interview?

@ GYANT

Hey GYANT out of all the things going on in Atlanta how do you not report on NAS being at the Tabernacle last night!!! Get on your job bro...

The vid is poppin...I love his 1st cd...you can let it play from beginning to end without the skipping 2 the "good" songs...Imma go ahead and try out the 2nd as well...I don't c how Shawna getting dropped has to do with Bobby V....she didn't sell!!!

@Gyant
Why don't you like Bobby V.?

Man if I reported on Nas y'all would have cussed me out.

Gyant

You still didn't answer why you don't like Bobby V......

The beat is alright, the video is monotonous, and Timbo shouldn't open his mouth. That's just one white nigga's opinion, don't hate all the white niggaz for it.

Man I can hear a little of Justins beat in there "my love". The base line, Isn't that one of Timbo's ghost producers brain child, I can't remember dudes name. Tell me what ya'll think it's just speed up a bit.

I PERSONALLY DON'T LIKE THE DUDE - SO I'D HAVE TO SAY NO COMMENT!

Lyrics I can hear it in there too. When songs are big and producers are on fire at the moment, they usually use the same formula and similar baselines, because artists come in the studio and say "I want something like that!" (refering to the Justin beat).

Look at any period of time when any known producer is hot at that moment. It's no different from rappers using the "what's hot right now" formula when putting pen to paper.

I think the single is hot though. I've always liked Bobby V's groove. He's an easy kat to listen to. I have that feeling in my gut that he'll do well with this as a lead single.

Yo I think Timbo's ghost producer is named DAJA or something like that heard he was responsible for most of the success of FutureSex.

Also Caff I here ya, about producers recycling beats but is being done a little to much this day and age. You know?

Slim Goody..I did a lenghty post on why I dont like BV. Go to the catergories and seach under his name.

I like Bobby V. I went to school with him and I think he is a humble and talented brother. Now Gyant please leave him alone. Get another ATL victim to pick on. I would not had tripped if you posted about the Nas concert it was hott. I had a great time. He really did his thing.

kinda sorta poppin

Bobby Valentino: Special Occassion
Coming May 8th
This album is gonna suprise folks.. in a good way!!!!

yeah Nate "Danja Hands" Hills

Gyant..why Bobby V got to be a "small wonder", dude going to hold you down and make your hair juicy like his.

With Bobby V I think it comes down to what do call success, going gold, plat??? I don't think he will go plat because he doesn't have that type of buzz were he could ship 250k his first week. If he has a couple of hot single I could see him going gold, which would be successful for him imo.

But in the end it comes down to how much support the label is going to put behind his project, Luda is #1,2,&3 priority at DTP, so who knows how well his album is going to do.

Da joint is slammin. Big ups to Timbaland and the Clutch.

Hi,
Liked today's blog, and I agree when it comes to the diminutive Bobby Valentino. In the UK we find this vertically challenged wannabe a little strange as we already have a very talented Bobby Valentino. He must be nearly 50 by now as he has been playing violin on, and writing, hit records for 25 years. He co-wrote one of the biggest songs of 1993 - "Young At Heart" by the Scottish group, the Bluebells. Our Bobby Valentino (the original) is also a fantastic singer with a warm deep crooning voice, he has released 3 solo albums as a singer/songwriter and is currently the lead singer with the all-star Americana outfit -Los Pistoleros (www.lospistoleros.info). I would be interested to know which countries the US Bobby V is supposed to be big in as nobody here would have any idea who he is and we find his name very funny when our Bobby V is about 6 feet 3 inches tall and looks like a handsome 1940s movie star.

Bobby Valentino is my arch nemisis.

The produers were King & Jerome with help form Timbaland they also produced Ice box

I Bobby V. I wish him well. I really like this single Anonymous.
