    Soulja Boy- How does he sell albums?
    I can't believe any of this guy's songs are popular. Take this one:
    Soulja Boy Tell 'Em

    Hopped up out the bed turn my swag on
    Took a look in the mirror said what's up?
    Yeah, I'm getting money, oh

    Hopped up out the bed turn my swag on
    Took a look in the mirror said what's up?
    Yeah, I'm getting money, oh

    Turn my swag on
    It's my time to turn it up, yeah, yeah
    I put my team on, did my theme song
    Now it's time to turn it up, yeah, yeah

    I got a question why they hatin' on me
    I got a question why they hatin' on me
    I ain't did nothing to 'em but count this money
    And put my team on and now my hold click stunny

    Boy wat's up, yeah? Boy wat's up, yeah?
    When I was nine years old
    I put it in my head, I'ma die for this gold
    Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, boy what's up?

    Hopped up out the bed turn my swag on
    Took a look in the mirror said what's up?


    ...and it just goes on like that...how could anybody like that stuff? I have noticed however that his fans are generally very boring people.

    Thoughts on this "rapper"?

    Different people different tastes. His music will always appeal to some, for whatever reasons.

    He gets heavy rotation on the radio and MTV

    Because MTV plays it, people listen to it

    Well I wonder why THAT is. Although I suppose that the radio will be willing to play anything catchy and generic because it's easy to listen to.

    Just because you don't like it doesn't mean others won't....some people listen to the song because of the beat, not the lyrics.

    Well actually the average rating for the entire album on itunes is 1.5 stars out of five. And he doesn't make his own beats, his producer does, so I can't figure out why that producer didn't just pick a better rapper. Oh well.

    Viper.... That was beautiful. :'(

    Never really listened to Soulja Boy.

    But the guy has a lot of fans, so he's doing something right.

    Soulja Boy- How does he sell albums?
    I abandoned this thread because it was a bit of a joke, but if you're really intent on reading my response, you can. I have the right of course to express how I feel about music, and I'm not trying to change anyone's mind. The phrase "how does he sell albums?" more expresses my opinion than is an honest, expecting-a-straight-answer question. I also can bash and encourage others to bash other people's music all I want. I was looking for people's opinions as to how he's become popular when, looked at in an analytic perspective, his lyrics are rather shallow and cliche...I suppose you don't like to look at music in an analytic sense? After all, this is a tunes ANALYSIS section.

    I...completely agree... did I ever say anything to make it seem like that wasn't so?

    He sells albums because some people like his music? That seems logical doesn't it?

    How does he come up with these beautiful lyrics? Really, the radio plays soulja boy, and people listen to soulja boy.
