I love 'Billionaire' but i think its just Bruno Mars that really 'makes' the song and brings it all together, same with 'nothin on you' by b.o.b

But im shocked to see an album released by him so soon in the uk. I mean, has he really broke into us yet? Because to me, he seems just another average rapper, and i dont really pay attention to his part in his first single.

But to be fair, i havent heard the rest of his album but do you think he is different and unique from the rest out there ?!

His album is pretty good actually, I was impressed with it. I love Billionaire, I don't agree with Bruno Mars 'making' the song though.

Apparently this is his next single according to buzz:

Seems good even though the chorus is stolen

Gym Class Heroes first album '...For The Kids' was brilliant. I hate the single (Billionnaire) but I'll give the album ago

I really love 'Superbad (11:34)' on the album.

'Billionaire' is awesome too.

Did anyone hear him singing The cave by Mumford & sons in Radio 1 Live Lounge, it was terrible.
The radio 1 Djs were taking the piss out of it all day.

Travis mccoy aint gonna bring nothing. Even his group gym class heroes weren't successful that much. They had about 1 or 2 hits

His album has sold poorly and he will likely not have a hit after Billionaire. Plus i don't think he is intended to even stick at this solo career. Gym class heroes have an album due out in the next couple of months.

But isn't that the case with 99% of rap songs these days - the chorus is what 'makes' them, even with the likes of Jay-Z and Eminem

Not all rap songs If you take the Jay sean down song even though it was a good song it was the rap that made it for me, some people like the rap others like the Chours, ala Airplaines.

If you Take nothing on you Both the rap and the Chrous fitted perfectly thats why it was such a big tune here and in the states.
