SB aint the only one that has said this.. alot of artists have said the same thing. And according to Nas's numbers and nas's dedicated fans his last Cd wasnt that great.
And i dont know how and why people some how put the whole state of rap/Hiphop into a 18yr olds hands. And say he ruined it, because he actually IS making money and selling records. its a joke, anyone rapper that comes at SB with that shit is a joke to me.
bwhahahahahahahaha!!!! :lmfao:Quote:

^^^I can agree. I have College Dropout in my changer now.
Well sb ain't selling shit now, I think he only sold 20-40k cds his first week for his new album. He should have asked 50 cent for some pointers. He was a one hit wonder that struck a chord with 12 yr old girls. I like what scareface said, "the man had his single playing every min on the radio and sells more ringtones than cds, its hard to call that man a rapper or even a hip hop artist."Quote:

the same artist that will make comments like that will have 12 links to buy their ringtones on their myspace page. its all soap opera talk. times have changed. it was almost impossible to top his first cd sales wise.. Sb is good, he will be around awhile, whether its making beats, or making songs himself.Quote:

i can barely name 10 SINGLES that bump, and have CONTENT. nas is one of few artist who are capable of such ("one mic" is a perfect example). most of the shit that's out now lacks content...but the hooks are catchy, and the beats are humping...therefore they make good singles...and singles are what sell! every track soulja boy has ever made (and he's not the only one) has been single worthy (hence, why his albums don't sell). jamming singles get you deals...get you radio spins...etc...record companies don't give a shit about albums...they want HOT SINGLES! just think...how many times a day do we hear jeezy or wayne on the radio with "new singles?" that's what the game has become...the man who can produce the best singles, can get the most lucrative record deal.
You cant be serious about this name... All summer long all you heard was the Carter 3...if it wasnt one track it was another.Quote:

when soulja boy can atleast rap some lyrics and not just the chorus part then he is considered rap. but as of right now hes nothing with just some stupid chorus parts.
imo nas is a sick rapper :crazy:

soulja boy is almost the same way (he just didn't get the album sales). dude had like 4 or 5 singles off of his first cd. not to mention...dude also produced like 85% of the tracks (that's ALMOST 100% profit). dude got paid off of ringtones, youtube clicks, radio spins, etc. why? because he had an insane amount of singles (i.e. CATCHY TRACKS).
SB is a young idiot that does not know the difference between just music and hip hop. His shit sounds like..what it is. Shit u make on those little sing along music makers made by Tyco or something. Descent beat but dumb ass hell. Just like more of the new rappers these days.
Like Wu-Tang said it along time ago "The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drumb". Thats more important these days than the message that goes with it.
Album had 4 singles. And barely a million. Later, QD.Quote:

You're right. He is very good at sucking. Later, QD.Quote:

why is it such a big deal what he says? and when did he get so much control over something that hes only been a part of for 3 years. The people hating him soo much are the ones giving him soo much credit, for doing so much to rap/hiphop. And doing what your favorite rapper couldnt do, and prob wont be able too. i dont listen to SB like that, but i think he is succesful because he has talent, it takes talent to do what he did, and is still doing. There is a reason why your favorite artist isnt selling or isnt around anymore, its their own fault. All of the best rappers always get that one break taht sends them over the top... what makes SB so different.
Omg...aint that the truth. Listening to raekwon go off on Rza and Method at MJQ made me lose appreciation for anything they put out recently as well as anything they may put out in the future. He found a soapbox and would not get off of it... :no:Quote:

If it took that to get where you are than so be it. Its not Sb fault that noone picked up on you or whoever fast enough. And that noproducer felt the need to put money behind you. Im sure 80K after 3 weeks is alot more than you sold... . :D, and alot more than most, and im sure hes still eating fine, off his ringtone getting his checks from producing his own album. You all want everyone to go on a track and just spit some hard lyrical content. Rap aint just about a bunch of serious hardlegs sitting around the barrel fire rapping about their hard life, and hard times. Noone ever explains why they have so much hatred to this kid. Its always a bunch of hidden hatred...
Have you read my thread on your rap superhero? Later, QD.Quote:

He's album just came out a couple of weeks ago.. Album dont sell as he wants.. He starts coming up with all this Bullshit to spark controversy.. *hence* this thread..
Soulja Boys is simply a R&B artist.. Not rap or hip hop.. I do not like his music, but I wont hate the fact that he is making money..
Taking shots at NAS is dumb... Nasir Jones is a GOAT in this game like it or not.
Every Hip Hop Artist has its time.. and moments of "GREATNEST" .. No one can sit here and say " SO-SO " Is the best of all times.. There is really no Telling..
My personal favorite , yes is NAS.. but that doesnt mean hes the best.. from Hooks, to beats to real life world spinning shit, NAS has done it.
Illmatic : One of the greatest albums of all times.. Yes, is a 16 year old album.. YES 16 Years ago.. Nas was actually 18..
Now compare NAS when He was 18 to Sooulja Boy who is 18 ( I think )
yea, Thats what I thought..
So no one knows whos the best...
You have Pac, Biggie, Jay Z, DMX, Eminem, Nas, Kanye,LL, and the list goes on and on and on.. I honestly dont know why people think KANYE can sing or rap.. he sucks.. Now, He can def create beats for days and that are hot, but vocally he sounds like he has a dick in his mouth, actually dicks of you "stans"
Why all you suckas ( myself included) are here sweating these cats , they are making Million of $$$ thanks to us creating "media and attention"
Once again, Why I LIKE NAS, he is loaded, but yet he brags about it...
I mean, EM has sold like close if not more then 100 Million records.. He's WHITE.. and HE cant SPIT.. Has a succesful label company.. made millions.. one of the richest rapper alive..
But is he HOT now.. ? Nope.. But sure enough dude was on a roll from like 97 to 2004 or something..
But you also had DMX.. only rapper to ever go PLATINUM twice in ONE YEAR.. everyone was RUFF RYDING and shit..
You have JAY- Z.. I think smartest rapper ever.. I mean, he is the richest rapper.. Not the richest man in hip hop.. (richest man in Hip hop is called JIMMY IVIN)
But He took the business side of the rap game and made it more appealing to BIG BUSINESS.. something Puff daddy tried to do and couldnt even though Diddy made Millions anyways.. But we all saw how all the TV shows were not that great by Puffy.. Puffy was to Flashy.. Jay Z was just had more class..
Every rapper has it times..
Btw do you guys rememer when EMINEM (rapper) & JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE ( R&B/POP) were on top of the music almost at the same time....? Yeah, they are both WHITE..
Kinda weird, since Rap and R&B has always been really an afro american thing.. We know, Elvis tried some of that "Funk"
In the new ERA of music.. every person will have there time.. they come, become the best for the time being.. and move on..
Shit, I dont like Lil wayne, But the carter 3 album was Nice.. had some songs on there that were hot.. and had more meaning ..
track 8/11/16 nice deep tracks.. The rest were nice Club bangers.. Nice mix.
Shit, LL COOL J was mad becuase he's last album didnt sell more then Jessica Simpson.. sorry LL, He is a goat and all... But that comment was lame.. lol
Who fucking knows........
Everything else i agree with but this..Quote:

You wouldnt compare Lil Jon to Ti.. differennt types of music.
But truthfully alot of rappers felt it was stupid of him to say something like that about hiphop. And Sb has some sort of truth to what he saying in his own way. Rap is like at a stalemate right now, noone wants to make that move. And when someone makes the move, and makes money everyone follows..the same path. The fact still remains SB is plenty popular, and still has his fanbase. As we can tell from this thread. As many times as all the other rappers have said things about NAS's Hip is Dead CD, it didnt get as much light as Sb did. So many people worry what this kid says its funny. .. i still dont understand the need to do so.
