“Why you all in my face, you ain’t even in my circle, dawg, you ain’t even in my loop,” B.o.B brags in his E.P.I.C. mixtape track “How Bout Dat”, which features Future and Trae Da Truth. You know who is in the “Strange Clouds” hit-maker’s circle? A pack of strippers, that’s who.

Is Obama a huge Maroon 5, Glee , and Black Eyed Peas fan? Maybe, maybe not — but he does want their endorsement on his 2012 re-election. The Commander-in-Chief already has stars like Lady Gaga on his team, but that didn’t stop him from releasing a “wish list” of celebrities he’d like on board as he bids for a second term.

Following “Strange Clouds “, another single has blown in from B.o.B’s upcoming sophomore LP. This time it’s the rap/reggae/rock hybrid “Play The Guitar”, which features Andre 3000. Sure, the Outkast MC may have been booted from Beyonce’s “Party” when it came time to shoot the song’s video , but he’s having a full-on renaissance thanks to a feature on Ke$ha’s “Sleazy 2.0″ remix and a lengthy verse on this song, “Play The Guitar”. Get your licks in below.

Katy Perry is going to own the record for having the most #1 singles from one album whether you like it or not. Billboard reports that Katy will drop a remix of “The One That Got Away” featuring a verse by B.o.B. The song, which is scheduled to drop sometime next week, is currently #4 on the Hot 100 — is there any way this song will not top the charts?

In the not-so-subtle video for B.o.B’s Dr. Luke-produced single “Strange Clouds” , the ATL rapper walks through a field as mysterious green lights flash across the sky.
