Scarface on Soulja Boy

After detailing Soulja Boy's disdain for "professional typing," hiphopdx dropped this tidbit from Scarface, his take on the Soulja Boy phenomenon:

“I can’t say nothin’ bad about his music, ’cause the kids like it,” the Houston vet remarked. “My daughter thinks he’s the best rapper in the world. My kids don’t like my shit, so that tells you something right there. Tell that dude to call me. He could do my MySpace page, ’cause I need one. I want that little dude to blow me up on MySpace like he blew up. I’m being real as fuck. He got that MySpace shit goin’ nuts.”

"My kids don't like my shit.."

That was enough for me right there. Hip Hop and Rap is now under the control of the youngins out there.. the Tweeners now control your radio.

J, This here blog - I can tell it's professionally typed.

it's funny how there is this little air of hate some have toward Soulja Boy and others of his ilk... i personally don't jam him but it seems like we want all of hip hop to fall in line with a format...

i'm 34 and the kids consider me ole' skool, so we must face the fact (much like 'Face has) that we are not all the knowing compass for whats Hot with our youth... someone loves dude as he is selling a gang of ringtones and da' album aint doing bad...

look at him as a teen rapper, like pop music has teen bands! If you are 21 and above besides dancing to the song in the spot, you shouldn't trip off it... i am more impressed with his hustle and how he had a buzz way before Collipark stepped up; I remember seeing this guy like a year ago on Youtube and thought who is this dude...

Face is a smart dude, i love his comment! i laugh at people who talk greazy about this yung'n - you gotta respect what he did....

1. created a beat in his bedroom
2. marketed his music virally non-stop (myspace/soundclick)
3. built a fan-base of his peers
4. BLEW UP
5. Make a mill' or two

as opposed to hating, many artists should be peepin' game

being successful and making good music are two different things.

I dunno soulja boy's "crank dat" is ight to dance to and kids like it. But it ain't that good. He aint got much to say, he's a discrace to legends like Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls and Proof who died for rap, they made statments said shit about their life, about lif in general, they talked about the government, current struggles, all soulja boy does is go "yah bitch yah" fo 3 minutes and calls it a song, he's missing the point of rap.

dats serious cuz people is into dance music more than lyrical

I, personally, can not stand Soulja Boy. I promise, every time I see someone "crank dat Superman" or any of the various "Superman" variations, I want to shake them into a comatose state. But, I guess I can't be mad; kids have a tendency to listen to the very music that the older generation hates (that is, if I may say "kids," as I am only 20). If it wasn't for such drastic changes in musical tastes among the older and younger groups, hip-hop probably wouldn't exist.

The kid is just going for it. He would not be able to have such a vast base if the old leaders were not so busy fueding with each other.
