Soulja Boy, if you havn't heard of him than very fortunately your new to the hip-hop/rap scene. He got into the industry marking his place with his signature sunnies with his name written across them. He's writing, producing and directing his career and he is only 17, impressive? I really think not. The way he speaks in his songs in regard to women and his culture, you'd expect more from someone who is clearly still a child. He shouldn't call himself a 'Soulja'. There are soldiers dying every day and the industry is making money from this lack of talent, is there something wrong with that?
Whether he can see clearly or not, he’s only impressing those who have no appreciation for true music that posesses talent and not ridiculous lyrics exploiting women as if were animals, talking about all the 'haterz' who envy him because they're not him and using his culture to back him up under a thin layer of pseudo-urban nonsense. The album is possibly the worst I have ever heard and I didn't even bother listening to the entire album. "Crank That", song from the album had been on the top of the charts for weeks and, in my opinion, is barely a song, more extremely unoriginal audio clips put together in a studio. A lot of the lyrics in the song are of a point to have people watch him, its more about him than the girls which is unusual. “Watch me crank it / Watch me roll / Watch me crank dat Soulja Boy.” He ends the song by encouraging others to dance the Soulja Boy, then insulting those who try. It’s amazing fans still have the courage to try the dance and then upload their performances all over his website and youtube! He doesn’t even pretend to have any amount of humility or respect for other people. Soulja Boy has an arrogant approach with profanity and crude sexual references that's basically asking for a fight. Who the hell signed him? You can tell the whole record industry is fixed when 'Soulja Boy' makes to the top 10. From seeing the video clip on MTV to watching my friends dance it is absolutly painful. I'm disgusted that any of them find pleasure litsening to that noise.
I have nothing against hip hop music but how in the world did this 17 year old kid, who has nothino intellectual lyrics about real hip hop music, get a record deal with interscope records?What else did he say in his album, ok 'I got Bape Shoes' and 'I want the teacher to change my grade from an F to a D ', isnt that talent? Everyday the hip hop industry is sinking and its because they're signing anyone who can pull a string of words. This generation is really an ignorant bunch of illiterate, oversexed products of the “No child Left Behind” policy that should have really left these idiots behind. I find it hard to believe that nobody notices he's intentionally making a mockery out of the entire industry. Watch one of his video's, either he is that idiotic and an extreme fool or he's taking the piss. who takes him seriously?
This really proves that you can produce any kind of crap nowadays and know that you will still have people who will still love it and buy it. I don't reccommend this album to anyone, i never will. If you have any common sense, or sense at all, you will not buy this album and give into the cheap crap the industry feeds us today because its too hard to find someone with real talent who deserves our money and respect.
