Soulja boy is everything wrong in the music industry, it is people like him that have caused the downfall of music as it is. You say he must be talented for getting to the top of the charts? You do realize those charts now are practically controlled by the tone-deaf dipshit teenagers with no true sense of music and just follow the latest trends, you know that right?
For example, if I went into a crowded public place and played Crank Dat, at least one person would start to do the Soulja Boy.
Congratulations, and if I went into a crowded public place and started playing
this, I could probably get about everyone to start to dance, or
this and get at least 1 person to dance and scream along. Your theory is stupidity.
If I went into the same place and play the screamo music that alot of people on here like, they would tell you to turn the shit down.
Depends on where you live, and the people you are around, the main city where I live, would tell you to turn off soulja boy or have the shit kicked out of you, yet would praise you for playing a good rock song, a good metal song, etc. You're pitting two opposites against each other, the shit that soulja boy vomits from his mouth is not rap, it is not music, and relies on computer-generated tunes, I don't like rap in any form, but I do respect those rappers who do not rely on a computer and instead use an actual band with them.
He was only 16 when he recorded Crank Dat. In his home studio. If you guys are so much better than him, write your own hit songs.
What relevance does that have? You don't need to have a hit song to be a critic of one. Plenty of artists these days write songs young, the difference is, his isn't a song, it's vomiting words about ejaculating onto a whore's back and sticking a sheet to it so it dries like a cape...
He does have some worthless songs, (Swagga), but he also has great ones. Crank dat is played at high school pep rallies and college games all over the country every weekend. The Texas Longhorns are on youtube doing the Soulja Boy.
I'll revert back to my first message: "You say he must be talented for getting to the top of the charts? You do realize those charts now are practically controlled by the tone-deaf dipshit teenagers with no true sense of music and just follow the latest trends, you know that right? "
When I was at school last year, and someone would play that shit, I whipped out my phone and hooked up my mini speakers, and blasted
this song(Note that I do not actually think this is really music either, however, the band plays more music then soulja boy) until it was turned off... they quickly learned not to play it within earshot.
KMTTF combines pop and rap, appealing to many people who 1. Don't like POP and 2. Don't really like rap. It is pop, really, but it is infused with rap, covering a middle ground. Like how I like a middle ground between rock and rap.
Once you mix genres such as rock and rap, it is no longer rock and rap, it is simply crap.
Bottom line is, his marketing is good. Hes got the name, the inital hit that made him a common name across the country, and covers a middle ground that many people can like.
Yes, he has the marketing, but that's the problem, his marketing outweighs his musical abilities, hence the hatred.
Maybe people don't want to have music they have to study for hours to figure out what it means.
No, so they listen to a "song" they can figure out from 1 line, since that's all it is, a line or two on repeat.
This may be a special case, but one of the teachers that will do so is 55+ and used to be a minor league pitcher and he teachers ........ english. Thats a suprise.
So you don't suppose that he may be doing this for the benefit of the students and not himself? you dumb twat.
here is a club remix of a great melodic metal song:
