Nothin' On You was the first song released in the UK by American Rapper B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray and the chorus is sung by Bruno Mars. The song is clearly all about Bobbys idea of a perfect girl which would seem as if it were his girlfriend as the lyrics read 'beautiful girls all over the world, I could be chasing but my time would be wasted, they got nothing on you baby'. The song is obviously a love song which isn't stereotypical for the genre rap music falls into, rap isn't really what I would listen to in my spare time, but I think that the video is really admirable and compliments the song well! The video is like a scrapbook of graphic design, it is simple in the fact that the background are simple and that when you think about it the shots a fairly basic and easy to produce its the editing that makes it. The collage of shots show various different girls to open and then switches to Bobby Ray walking down the street when he meets yet more girls, there are various Pans close ups and mid shots to give more of a dept to the video than just a man wondering down a street. The chorus shows a full length Bobby and Bruno singing and dancing on the street this is very cheesy and very cliche as it has been done in so many pop videos in the past! The video and song do become tedious and repetitive after about a minute but I think the idea behind the video is effective and inspires me.
