Y’all need to pay this editor the BIG BUCKS!!! Also... put some respect on Soulja Boys name!

“15 million ringtones” just let that sink in... that’ll never happen again in this world. 😂
😋😂😂😂
Because nobody buys ringtones anymore.
@@messiahjohnson6950 damn you wise as hell huh
Messiah Johnson you should a be slapped lmao
Stop hating buhh 😡😡
Soulja Boy talks a lot of crap, but at the end of the day, most of the stuff he’s saying is true.
Nate Latham mOOOooOOoSt?
Tony4_2k19 pretty much. At the end of the day, he’s just a dude playing a persona to make money.
Yeah most no cap Young draco be speaking facts no matter how funny it is. LMAOOOOO 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
Except he didn't have the biggest comeback of 2018. That's str8 capping

SO DO AWAY WITH ALL VAIN NONSENSE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SAVIOR JESUS WHO DIED FOR YOU .
ion kno why y'all covering up the blunt like we don't kno what it is
Gotta keep the sponsors lol
Its crack.
@@popeyeschicken7865 STFU dude just shut up man
Ikr...smoke all swirling around. 💨
@Bill Cosby y'all both STFU DWEEBs
Someone need to make a movie about him. *BIG SHOUT TO BEYONCE FOR CALLING TO GET CREDIT* THAT alone speaks volumes.
Great Business Ethics
The editing on this video is ridiculously on point.
Soulja boy literally made a come back with no music that year bro wtf 🤣
That’s how you know he goated
@@MostMorose Because the music industry isn't about music- it hasn't been about music for 30 something years now. These so called "Musicians" come out and I know:
1. Who their crew is
2. Who they sleeping with/ got kids by/ how sexy they are if they're a female
3. Who they beefing with
4. How much money they got
5. What brands they wear
6. What car they drive
7. What liquor they drink
8. What tattoos they got
9. Finally- the music is presented
Then I realize why things go down in that order, because the music sucks! It's the least interesting thing about them and obviously the thing they put the least effort into (they care so little they're mumbling now- not just the rappers, but the singers too). The music these days is an after thought, just an excuse to justify you giving them your attention.

RAAD ELEVEN 100%
How?
LiL ToeNaiL cuz his the first artis ever to put an actual song on youtube he basically inventeymodern hip hop
Nobody talk about him now he felloff
LiL ToeNaiL who felloff u sleepin
If you from the early 2000s you gotta admit that Soulja boy did revolutionize hip hop. I strongly believe that hip hop would not be the same had he not debuted.
I remember the first I listened to "Silento - Whip Nae Nae" I said to myself "Enjoy young blood Soulja Boi died for your sin."
Yep he's the reason there's so much trash out
@@mikatteba225 Lol. Souja hova
@@AndrewB23 so j Cole and Kendrick is trash! I'll let that sink in
@@lamonthilliard5038 Soulja Boy wasn't influential to J Cole or Kendrick. Just because they came after him doesn't mean he influence them to make their music. Stupid logic and concept!
You have to pay that man his respect! He spitting facts & he did pave the way!
@ayylmao it's called slang. Get you some swag & go out or something. Stop staying in the house playing with yourself & watching porn all day. I mean look at your profile pic? If he's a boy I'm sure you're a weirdo.
Paved what?
Facts
Paved the way for what exactly
Nick Cannons Balls u dumb
Soulja started a lot of shxt he doesn’t get credit for. #FREESOULJA 🔥
Nikki Mixon 🗣
So, doesnt matter who started what
He locked up? when? wtf
CeGGie he locked up for probation violation.
Free big Draco
Soulja Boy is a GENIUS. He first went VIRAL on MySpace and RUclips in 2007 and now 14 years later he is going VIRAL on Tik Tok. This man knows how to use social media to his advantage.
Need to learn from him
Soulja boy truly did start all these trends and started rapping on RUclips, MySpace, soundclick and twitch before everybody. Soulja boy did start everyone’s career but don’t you think rappers before Soulja boy and before the internet would’ve put everybody on ?
Notice how he said beyonce was the only one who gave him credit correctly and actually asked him first unlike the others?
@Brainey wright it's called hold up
Brainey wright 😩
@@franchescazamora1726 so what . beyonce steal so much she probably figured if she helped solja she helping herself. She stole whole sentences from othee artist that she spit in interviews like she thought it up
I didn’t get that one though like she literally she five words how does souja boy own them
Pablo Rivera I said the same thing 5 common words at that 💀💀💀
I don’t care what NOBODY say.. ALL those receipts that Soulja came with on the Breakfast Club was Straight Facts!!!
As goofy as he is..he's speaking ALL facts. From being an artist on ALL social media platforms, to having multiple investments (ie:YUMS), to being a one man show (graphics, producing, writing, marketing, etc.) Salute to Draco 👊🏿💯
I'm glad he turned his life around too DrakoGang
*gayco
“I won the grammy too.” This guy is a national treasure.
😂🤣
He had song writing credits on Beyoncé’s ‘Hold Up’
🤣 the editorial team snapped on this ‼️💯💯💯
rs lmao
na fr
He proved everything he was saying , the facts prove it !!! Like him or not he is the blueprint for social media artist
Soulja really deserves the credit he's spitting facts and making it funny at the same time
Can't argue with this lol.
Adrian Little facts!
That's not even his verse
Adrian Little free soulja
Adrian Little people will never understand the genius behind this niggas business tactics
If Beyonce was able to call him and pay him when she used his flow and referenced him, no one else has any excuse not to.
People gonna roast him for this, But Souja was speaking real facts in this interview
CJ Scott bro I wasn’t hating on soulja or nothing but I thought he was cappin bout niggas copying him but after this Interview, Soulja really Fathered these Rap Niggas😂😂😂 No Cap
People finna clown him cause he’s still a clown. Yeah he helped push the internet age and did father dudes but when do the father still from the son? Souljia boy steal niggas sound and do fake cap shit plus can’t rap. I respect what he started but not the clown shit and the garbage rap that he thinks should also be respected because of this. First rapper of the internet era was ruined by the garbage and fake shit and is trying desperately to make the public look past the bs because he was the original internet rapper feel me?
He’s still a clown.
They need to take him more serious cause he really did put everyone on all the social media stuff 🔥🤟🏾
I can't even lie this man funny as fuck. Had me laughing out loud 😂
M P i woke up my wife from laughing so loud
M P right😹😹😹😹
Put him and Boosie together that would be funny as hell
M P he so funny bruh 😂😂😂
SAME 😂
Where the lie? They can act like Soulja not spittin truth.. but he is 🤷♀️
When the picture hit Drake in the head😂😂😂
TELL ME ONE BETTER PRODUCER? you can’t
@@getjosh8275 big facts
No cap I cried with him. Nobody thought we was gon lose Whitney.
“Drake?! Aubrey graham in a wheelchair?!”
Soulja boy about to be that one drunk high uncle telling all the stories about back in the day lol
The way he talks when he's high is funny lol
Did I win a grammy? Did she win a Grammy? did we win a grammy?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ikr 😂
Dead😅🤣
He always been 100 about his shit tho. 😂 I remember they blasted bow wow & ray j for claiming cars that actually belonged to soulja
That did happen didn’t it.
Is Bow Wow the top 10 corniest person?
Soulja lost a Brother around that whitney tribute he had every right to cry. Dude is a pioneer period.
Facts
J.R. Elgran yes he is and they shouldn’t even have made fun of him! That’s what’s wrong with society today men can’t cry and show emotion!
Soulja Boy keep telling them. Thank you BET for showing this.
Hot Ronnie “Soulja Boy Tell em” it’s in the name
I gotta give it to him ,he came with hard cold facts ,home boy was high an all 😂😂💀
Real talk!!!
My mans said my ish went viral
B4 viral was viral 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In my personal opinion & yes as u stated he set some ish straight wit receipts high af,
But I don't even see cockiness or egomania here either
He said what he said!!!!
Definitely of FLAT OUT FACTS ERBODY DEAL WIT IT 😌😌😌
And no doubt the effects added something genius to this interview which I'd be willing 2 bet he had some input within that as well.
If not I mean no disrespect
Big ups 4 that just the same 🙌👏
Soulja Boy is how I first heard of RUclips 😂
Soulja: yall owe me 5%BRO
Charlemagne:BIG DRAKOOOO!!😂🔥
ruclips.net/video/CILzgbpA7n4/видео.html
Lmao
Worddd that's my fav part of the interview 😂
It was nice of Beyoncé to pay him for sampling his song
It was right and fair.
Fr
Which song ?
LEON watch the dam video
Whats crazy is he was a straight a A student throughout high school lol. This man never tell people about that. He talked about it in a MTV video once.
What??? he has a song talking about how he had all F's in high school
Julie lmao put some d's on it 💀
How u gonna say he never told anyone and then say he said it on MTV in the same sentence? 🤔😂
Mila Møønwalker you must be not fully understand lol , I meant out of all the things he talks about his bling, money & cars he doesn’t talk about it as much is what I’m saying .
@@Zoneread24 go to 13:30 🏂🏄
The way he talked about turning 30 and what his goals were for his 20s and are now was the smartest thing I’ve heard him say in a minute.
Big up Soulja for making his own clout. He made it from my space. He was one of if not the first to make it from RUclips
He had the RECEIPTS. He crawled so they could run.
Janelle Ntim
He damn sure did, could prove every claim he made.
Facts. Mans a goofy sometimes but he a legend
He cried for Whitney Houston. My respect for Soulja has gone up +8
We gotta protect this kid!
He's not a kid. He's 30!
@@TF-gf3fs 🤦🏽♀️ sure is!
Well protect this black man🤷🏾♂️

And the numerology on that is crazy appropriate. 🌟🦋😇 Dope.
the video editor is a genius....
SOULJA BOY l will bring it out of you
Give the editor damn award! I wanna know his name to follow his other projects.
Editor is sick
Beyoncé is the only one who gave Soulja Boy his credit so far🤣🤣🤣
I can’t believe ppl really make a joke out of him that’s crazy, he is a true man fighting for his respect
They could get fucked if Soulja wanted 2
Ariana Grande tried to “lil boy me” 🤣🤣🤣
Soulja can be funny when answering questions, but low key he been legit all this time, RESPECT!!
THAT STEVE JOBS STORY THO!!
BET came with the receipts on this vid! I'm not a Soulja fan, but this was a GREAT interview. I was intrigued and entertained from beginning to end. Best 14 mins.

I love him, lol! He did start a lot of trends. This was the BEST interview in this series. It was highly entertaining and the editing was on point!!!!
Soulja got og status. Everybody ripping this man off .
Yes but somebody who truly cares about this guy should seriously convince him to get help
@@faithdavid2133 why
@@lamonthilliard5038 because to me he looks and acts as if he's abusing some type of substance,and I look on and wonder how is it going to end, and why most in the industry want fame, sell fame but then look, unhappy about or with it most times, just my opinion...
@@faithdavid2133 he'll be ok he's in jail sobering up but Chris brown is another story
@@lamonthilliard5038 what's up with Chris?
Soulja-“I’m not rapping in 2021 I’m retiring”
Also Soulja-“she make it clap clap clap”

This young man, Master P the rap game they'll never give him and Master P their props but the South keeps on kicking doors in over and over again.

Him n Master P definitely aren't the same!! He made going viral a thing n sold hella ringtones well over 14 or 15 years ago nothing more!! N now known for reality tv n acting a damn fool so naw don't link him to P they ain't the same!!
@@fefesmith82 i think they meant how they both came from nothing to something in a fantastic way
Principal: “We learn from teachers , not Soulja boy”
Soulja: “Stop playin like I aint teach him everything he know”
I almost died when he said Cheetos cut that check Lol, start's the video off right😂
This does puts a smile on my face.
I never cared for soulja but The boy been a hustler. He a gimmick rapper but he know how to get a 💰.
Actually he had no gimmicks he just had fun n was just a child all these rappers are gimmicks acting hard like killas n hustlers but when we come around are silent
we need a SOULJA BOY series like the Kardashians.
That'll be epic
People literally are proven to rip him off
Soulja Boy accidentally dropping the first iPhone will forever cheer me up whenever I feel down lol..

Soulja Boy don’t lie he just sounds funny and say everything in a funny way
Truth is, since soulja blew up HipHop has never been the same 😂 He birthed the current generation.
I know. It's like being mad at your dad for putting you on punishment but realizing he has a point because he does actually pay the bills in the house.

If you think about it this whole social media era really started with soulja boy. Words like going viral he started that streaming music online videos online he started that having social media pages and social media accounts he started that. He actually did the first online unboxing with the 1st iphone. we really owe soulja boy his flowers now
