"Magic" (single featuring Rivers Cuomo) (by B.o.B., Hip-hop)

"MAGIC" is the latest single off the album B.o.B Presents: the Adventures of Bobby Ray by hip-hop newcomer B.o.B. Like a lot of other singles on the record, B.o.B collaborates in this tune with an artist that has a very different musical style -- Rivers Cuomo, lead singer of the alt-rock band Weezer. From a lyrical perspective, the combination makes a lot of sense: both B.o.B and Cuomo are known for being among the cleaner artists in their respective circles, avoiding a lot of adult content and profane language. "Magic" is no exception for either; the tune includes no swearing or mature references, focusing instead on some fun, lighthearted boasting about these artists' mad skillz. 

The pairing of B.o.B and Cuomo makes a lot of sense from a musical standpoint, as well. Both have super-creative approaches to their craft, resulting in a song that fuses a cool hip-hop vibe with an infectious alt-rock hook. The final product is a lot like the combination of peanut butter and chocolate: you wouldn't necessarily think of it at first, but it's a tasty experience in the end.
