Alright, I’m a huge fan of being seen and not heard. There are some people in this world who have NO business EVER opening their mouths, unless it’s to insert food or speak when they’re hurt. And even then, write it down.
Soulja Boy, Soulja Boy…I have a love/hate relationship with him. I will admit that I’m one of the “fools” who liked Crank Dat. I bopped my head to it, learned the dance and thought it was the shit. I have NOT followed his career beyond that song b/c the few things that I heard sucked, IMO. But that’s just me.
Nonetheless, I was blog browsing and found this quote from Soulja Boy at The Daily Beast.
Shit like this makes me cringe. It’s like…dude, did you really just say what I THINK you said? Like…word? This one statement alone adds credence to the notion that rappers are idiots who don’t give a shit about ANYTHING in life but bling, weed, and women.
Does he not have a publicist to help him at all? I mean, if it’s that damn serious, Soulja Boy, I will build a PR company from the bottom UP just to ensure that your ass never EVER says things like this again. Then again, that’s probably not a good idea. You might not pay me.

Last week in Atlanta, I got to interview Soulja Boy Tell Em. I found out just how young he really is. He was one of about ten rappers I interviewed in one day for my BET show, The Black Carpet. I decided it’d be fun to give all the rappers part of the Proust questionnaire. I thought it’d be a way to get beyond image and into who they really are. Most of the guys gave good, thoughtful, intelligent, sensitive answers. I asked Juelz Santana, “How would you like to die?” He said, “Loved.”
Then came Soulja Boy Tell Em. I asked him, “What historical figure do you most hate?” He was stumped. I said, “Others have said Hitler, bin Laden, the slave masters…” He said, “Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we’d still be in Africa.”
My jaw, at this point, was on the ground.”We wouldn’t be here,” he
continued, having no idea how far in it he’d stepped, “to get this ice
and tattoos.”
