Soulja Boy- "Best Rapper"


In no way am I implying that Soulja Boy should be recognized as the best rapper. This is a name of an album. But let me mention alot of the shit that is played on the radio that Soulja Boy comes up with is very catchy, but lyrically not the best. The album "Best Rapper" is mostly freestyled. The lyrics that are put together are all spontaneous and for that my respect for him has grown. One of my favorite songs on this album is "What About My Clientel" in which he gives a shoutout to "Kingpin Skinny Pimp". This guy is a pioneer for that rap game here in Memphis, and it's nice to know someone as young as Soulja Boy pays his respect to his the more experienced rappers.

Soulja Boy is smart. He releases songs to the public that he knows will make him money. "Kiss Me thru the Phone", "Crank That", "Soulja Girl", "Pretty Boy Swag" are examples of songs that have made him a millionaire. He has his mind focused on business and making some money. He started to be known from Youtube take advantage of the internet. It takes someone with some sense to realize that popularity can grow dramatically by putting something you love, out there for the public to see. I will stick up for Soulja Boy because he has a business plan and has his eye on success, its just that he keeps his motives under the radar.
