N.E.R.D.’s “Nothing On You” Nothing Like B.o.B’s Song
It’s a bit curious why N.E.R.D. is releasing a track called “Nothing On You” the same year B.o.B and Bruno Mars’ “Nothin’ On You” was a giant hit. Isn’t that a bit like dropping a song called “Umbrellas” just a few months after Rihanna’s “Umbrella” dominated the charts in 2007? We’ll just assume it’s a shout-out to Bobby Ray, or at least a nod to the fact that their new album is called Nothing. Jump below to give the tune a listen.

It’s also absolutely nothing like B.o.B’s love ode to “beautiful girls all over the world”, thankfully. Still, N.E.R.D.’s collab with “Daft Punk”, the (for lack of a better term) hypnotic “Hynotize U“, is a tough single to follow. Thoughts? [Rap-Radar]
