I remember when Soulja was starting off , he was a guy my age going viral before it was a thing . Soulja still being brought up today is incredible. Has some antics but still very active in music.
During high school he was definitely one of the hottest artist for a few summers, he just got too big headed and his talent didn’t grow and remained stale.
@jenghiskhan69 Tori Kelly 2004 Sean Kingston 2007 clown you said one I gave you to both literally went viral off the internet before souljaboy. Stop speaking when you don't know what you're talking about. Soulja 2007 as well but his song came out a month after kingston.
Sometimes I think that he is really abt that life but sometimes he gets exposed for being a character then I don’t believe me lol my mind playing wit me😂
I still remember I was in 5th grade when crank that came out. For the kids who weren’t there this song was THE song of that year. I remember I got that album for Christmas and was pumped. Soulja boy will always have a special place in my past.
The thing that kills me about Soulja boy is yes he lies blatantly, but he also tells HALF truths that have some validity behind them - like how he had the Versace beat before migos, even the bar he said Drake stole “tell me what’s really going on…” on the song Miss Me, that was REALLY from a Soulja boy song before Drake dropped miss me lol. It’s his delivery and embellishment of the claim that makes ppl lose grip of what was ACTUALLY true 😂😂😂 he always has an excuse that shifts then blame from him hahaha
I remember when I was in 4th grade my teacher was into crank that same with all the students one day my class convinced him to play the song and everyone did the superman 😂😂 I'll never forget I'm 26 now
This dude changed pop culture forever. He was the first artist to really use the internet in a different way and laid down a blueprint for #1 songs. I’m no a very big fan of his but you gotta give credit where credit is due and he really did change the game
facts. 2007 in vegas i was there shortly after the song came out omfg everyone was singing this shit doing that superman shit everywhere. no doubt this dude rode the internet at the right time
Prince is the first artist to use the internet. Nobody heard of Soulja when Prince did this. Prince changed his real live name. Broke his contract with Warner Brothers and start selling his music on the new internet and peep this it was 1997 Prince sold his album Crystal Ball on the internet rebelling against record labels, especially his….Y’all believe anything. Prince change the game for all artists. And Soulja was born in 1990 😂😂😂 this world is gone off overly tough Men.
soulja definitely not blackballed. he just past his era. and he still gets producer credits on recent songs. the fact he's still relevant today says a lot.
He stay relevant just because of his antics, no one actually care about him as a rapper anymore, people treat him as a lol cow because he do everything to be one, he isn't really relevant in anything else, Soulja is like IShowMeat, loud, obnoxious idiot, nothing more
I remember when soljuah boy first broke in; he seem smart and had a good head on his shoulders; he was going to use the money he made to go to school and really take over the music industry then he let the industry get the best of him like so many before him; and it’s been down hill since
8:04 Funnily enough I meet the existence of this rapper just for that song in the videogame: SingStar Dance (it has the singing and dancing options). And then I heard more about him with his videogame's console "100% non-bootleg for real" market. 😂
I remember listening to him on soundclick like "He's never going to make it, he uses factory sounds from FL" to my dismay he kept rising in the charts. Next thing I knew his albums were at walmart and everybody talking shit about him were using the same type of beats trying to ride his clout.
@garrett2604 oh yeah, once that software hit limewire it was game over. I remember everybody shit on people who used FL back then. Almost like they do with bandlab now.
It was the gang boy stuff that destroyed him fr... If he took the lil yachty or tyler route and just stuck to game streaming and energy drinks under a safer rich nerd/Internet rich persona he could have still acted like the fancy gun waving ass hat and just ended up hated like a Jake Paul or somthing equally redeemable but instead he went thebother way that brings attention but not money
Big Draco wasn't afraid to go against Nintendo and he'll forever beone of my favorite memes along with the bing chilling man Zhong Xina aka John Cena. He is so blatantly dumb starting nonsense that I can't help but like him😂😂
@@ReyMaccOfficialwell considering I couldn’t even find sales numbers on his recent album besides an estimated 500 sold ide say they aren’t moving, or he’s doing a really good job at scrubbing it all off the internet. Either way no one talks about him anymore besides when they’re clowning on him
Bro you really aint tell how he bought a bunch of china shit and try to make his own brand? 🤣 he said fuck nintendo and got sued to oblivion and the other bad investments he made his Soulja phone too tf how can you leave that out
honestly i just listen to his current music and i think he is actually straight fire consistently every drop. Alot of yall fall for his gimmicks he just makes some cool music thats it really he drops like everyday too ion even care about nothing else but his music good bro XD
Soulja boy Like Joe Budden are hard to deal with amongst their peers but they are always ahead of the curve when it comes to what’s the next poppin thing in revenue.
I literally can not stand him. Wish people would stop buying everything he sells, all you’re doing is buying knockoff cheap shit marked up high making him even richer
The genius thing about crank that is, even the video showed exactly how the song would get so popular using the Internet and mobiles to spread a viral dancing trend
He didn’t predict the rise of gaming videos lol they were already massive on RUclips. Machinima. Red V Blue. He was a professional wave rider. MySpace was already the wave, he just rode it first. RUclips and halo videos were already the wave. The thing is being the first doesn’t make you the best.
That boondocks parody of Ice T and Soulja Boy was hilarious tho. I miss Boondocks😭

The Quavo beef song was legitimately one of the hardest songs of his career
The "huh" from Soulja boy was legendary
He reminds me of Thugnificent from The Boondocks cartoon show, where the guy started doing beef with everyone because he was flat out broke.
It’s really ironic how he has now been both sergeant gutter and thugnificent
Love Soulja he’s hilarious 😂😂😂 the delusional ignorance and unwavering confidence just makes me laugh. Keep grinding Draco
These songs brings back memories 😂😂❤ I feel old asf.
