Throughout the rich and storied history of "MTV Unplugged," a handful of performers' live sessions have gone on to become legendary. Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Phoenix, Paramore, Katy Perry, to name just a few. And now we're about to add B.o.B's "MTV Unplugged" performance to that list.
The multi-talented, multihyphenate rising star, joined in New York by special guests Robin Thicke, Melanie Fiona, and Janelle Monae, effortlessly revealed a showstopping, almost preternatural set of musical abilities. Lyricist ("Letters from Vietnam"). Rapper ("Airplanes"). Crooner ("Nothing On You"). Guitarist ("Magic"). Comic (he led the "Unplugged" audience in a rendition of the "Family Guy" theme song). Band leader and born entertainer.
B.o.B.'s "MTV Unplugged" performance premieres on MTV.com on September 1. Until then, check out this exclusive sneak peek of B.o.B. performing "Magic." And don't miss B.o.B. when he performs live at the 2010 MTV VMAs on Sunday, Sept. 12.
