Eight Gigs: B.o.B.
Thur., May 19, 7 p.m., Harlow’s Restaurant & Nightclub, $20-$25
Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., better known as rapper B.o.B., thinks the earth is flat. He also learned very little from Public Enemy’s Professor Griff regarding antisemitic views when he put out the Neil deGrasse Tyson diss song “Flatline.” Yes, in January of 2016, B.o.B. was a conspiracy nut job who probably believes in lizard people. Comical as it was to diss an astrophysicist, B.o.B. is the guy who wrote “Nothin’ On You,” “Airplanes” and “Headband.” As long as he doesn’t spend his set holding up Instagram prints of sunsets to prove his flat-earth theory, B.o.B. is still worth the price of admission. 2708 J Street, www.bobatl.com.
