Say it ain’t so. Say word this was supposed to be Lupe’s single and it somehow ended up going to B.O.B. What in the sam hell? Life’s a funny thing.
This version is very unfinished…
Says NahRight:
I’m sure this was never supposed to be heard by the public and that’s exactly why I’m posting it. It’s the original version of “Nothin On You” before it was turned over to B.o.B. It’s ill how these hit songs get manufactured right? Sure, we know this happens all the time, but it’s always funny when these originals leak. It’s almost like this is Bruno Mars’ hit and they just needed someone to rap over it.*
Dre Edit: *Actually, that’s actually exactly what happened. Here’s what Bruno told Complex a few weeks ago.
So, Me, Phil & Ari [of Bruno’s production crew, The Smeezingtons] did the track and we submitted it to Atlantic Records and they asked us, ‘What do you think about B.o.B on this?’ I was like, ‘Perfect, let’s see what happens.’
Color me biased, but Lupe on this >>>>

this is old news Andrew..
^^^ Sir, you are indefinitely a buffoon.
Anyways Drew, you are definitely trippin if you think the Lupe version goes harder than the B.o.B version. The harmonies and clever lines on the B.o.B version make it all the more listenable. This is one Lupe song I would have been dissatisfied with completely. SO GLAD he didn’t keep it.
Glad he passed. B.O.B. version shits all over his version. Lupe sounds uninterested……..
Lupe = Decent Album Cut
B.O.B. = A Hit Single !!!
Lupe IS a better rapper but anyone with some sense knows that thats only a small part of making a dope record that touches alot of people. B.O.B has star quality type energy and Lupe just doesnt event tho technically Lu would rap circles around B.O.B
Totally agree with the above said…Bobby Ray did a much better job than Lu. Which is probably why they gave the track to him instead…
Really? I like Lupe better on it. He’s speaking more honestly, like he’s just sitting there thinking about this girl. B.o.B.’s is more energetic, like he already knows he’s gonna get the girl. Both are great but, personally, I think this in finished form would be a lot better.
