YAH BITCH YAH. Ok soulja boy is absolute garbage, but that song cracks me up or atleast did the first few times. I guess take it soulja boy for what its worth, shitty , sometimes entertaining music.

and as far as modern rap and hip hop are concerned, they don’t suck, you guys are just listening to shit. any hip hop from a major label will almost always suck. just find better artists.
You have people literally judging an entire genre of music by the crap that gets played on the radio 5,000 times a day(which for the record seems to be getting worse).
If we did the same to rock music, they would immediately cry foul.
Funny, it seems that when they do that to hip-hop, people immediately cry foul too.
How remarkable.

That made laugh. Who’s going to be the first one to defend rock?
I’m almost more sick of nerdcore like Flobots and Sage Francis than Soulja Boy at this point

From what I have heard the only reason it wasn’t out last year is because he was working with Eminem on Relapse. After Relapse comes out we will be getting the new D12 album and Detox.
The death of music styles are announced almost monthly. N.M.E magazine seems to declare a ‘saviour’ of rock or punk at least every second issue.
The music scene’s, be it rock or hip hop are moving along to quickly for the record labels etc to keep up, which results in one hit after one hit wonder as labels try to earn back the huge dollars they are throwing into each artist.
Though acts like Soulja Boy are far from hip-hop, even from where I stand which is far far outside the hip-hop camp, he does at least some good in that hopefully people who start listening to him will be interested enough to push further into the genre and find the really good stuff that lead to the popularity of the really shit stuff.

Bout time! I was wondering when there’d be some D12 stuff again.
To the OP, Soulja Boy needs more time studying the art he’s in. To say nas killed hip-hop. Hip-Hop was killing itself, now its starting to turn around again.

Was that a tongue in cheek response designed to elicit an inflamed response from a rock and roll music fan?
Or, were you better off being a blowjob?
To be honest I think everything went downhill when Eminem came along

Dre messed up by not letting Rakim finish his album. Not sure of the details but that would have been hot.

Eminem was decent. Let’s face it, ringtone rap is destroying Hip-hop.
And whoever thinks Nas was the one to start the “Hip-hop is dead” thing, you’re wrong. People have been saying for a while now.
For those interested in a blast from the past, EPMD just dropped a new album. And it’s better than most than most of the garbage that was released in 2008.

I agree actually, and here’s why. Soulja Boy isn’t traditional/urban rap, it’s pop/dance rap. It is what it is. It’s stuff for girls to shake their asses to and guys to grind their semi-hard dicks on said asses. Now if I’m just hanging out and want to listen to some traditional rap, I’d throw some Nas on. If I’m having a party and want semi inebriated girls to have an excuse to act silly and dance around with their boobs jiggling, I put on soulja boy.
Calling Soulja Boy out for killing ‘real’ rap is ridiculous because it’s not ‘real’ rap. Just like calling Nas out for not making club bangers is ridiculous because he doesn’t make ‘club’ rap. [/quote]
The real problem is that you shouldn’t have to choose between “real” rap and “club” rap, there was a time when the best lyricists also had the best beats.
Music is supposed to sound good, lyrics alone are not enough, I don’t hear about too many people bumping that hot new spoken word.
I’m not opposed to music that sounds good whlie lacking substance but most of the “club” tracks these days don’t even sound good. There are plenty of classic tracks that simply don’t make any sense or follow the standard dro, hoes & ammo approach to writing, but they sound good so it doesn’t matter.
Every now and again you’ll get exceptions on both sides, “club” tracks that actually sound good (without needing to be pre-approved by the media) and lyricists choosing good beats and remembering to actually use a good flow.
People in general have just changed the way they view the music, it used to be about the music now it’s about the business.
