kinda lol but mostly sad.
otoh I can think of at least a dozen rappers who have said equally stupid things and don't inspire this level of vitriol so I figured it was something aesthetic, y'know, in the songs themselves

I always assumed that soulja boy quote was just a (very) poorly-thought-out joke... idunno.

most of these other rappers don't specifically pitch their songs at kids 10 and under, is my point
xp: that was his defense; doesn't actually change the fact that he was dumb enough to say it

I sure as hell hope people like 50 Cent and Too Short aren't gearing albums towards 10 year old kids, shudder the thought....

As 4 Cryin Out Loud asks, "How old was Ice Cube when he first emerged and was writing rhymes for Eazy - like 16?"
LOLOLOLOL yeah 16 yo Ice Cube never said anything offensive/stupid now did he WTF

kids, especially hip hop fans, hear *everything* which is why I thought it was weird to single out Soulja Boy as opposed to yeah 50 Cent or Lil Jon or something

telling fantastical stories about smacking hoes and grabbing tricks by their weaves /= saying "YAY SLAVERY FO' ADVANCIN' OUR RACE"

he's the shit stain of modern music. I love how he gets a free pass for making excessively loud, annoying ringtones and making hyper-moronic statements, but that M.I.A. bitch must DIE by media assasination NOW!

exploring "what is the most offensive/wrong Ice Cube or Eazy-E lyric" is gonna make this thread real long and tiresome btw

does that justify why indie fans give MIA a free pass for making excessively loud, annoying ringtones and making hyper-moronic statements
― j0rdan sgt's tartan shorts club ban (crüt), Tuesday, 3 August 2010 22:08 (fourteen years ago) link
What has MIA ever said that is even the same moronic orbit as Souljah Boy's slavery comment?

gotta vote for "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," which is by far the weak link of the '97 Bad Boy hit parade. even as far as poppy "The Message" beatjacks go Ice Cube did a better one just 4 years earlier.

it works really well in the scope of the album too, kinda mixtape vibe to the entire record
i mean, is it really that strange to hear dudes rapping over old school instrumentals? that was kinda puffys thing. major label mixtape rap

i actually can't get over how dumb that statement is, even coming from spinspin sugah
MIA got killed by a lot of critics for making music that was "excessively loud" and "annoying" because, by and large, those aren't qualities of music that people generally like, even MIA fans -- soulja boy, by making music that is "annoying" and that are "ringtones" doesn't even get paid any mind by critics because, by and large, those aren't qualities of music that people generally like -- soulja boy is not the clipse or something
as for their hyper-moronic statements (should be one to talk iirc), soulja boy got killed all over the blogosphere (only place where he actually gets talked about) for that retarded shit he said about slavery, not to mention, like i said, that MIA is 35 years old -- i'm sure she had some really trenchant and insightful and non-controversial political views at the age of 20

J0rdan, still butthurt I see if you're bringing up Uffie (album's wack, btw lol). I don't know how I feel about your credibility given that you never heard that PM Dawn track or heard a Madonna record for that matter...or you have no concept of music from the 80's. I mean, should you really be talking to me? The answer is no.

listen to some damn madonna tho
SS, we were agreeing on something the other day, I forget what tho
― righteous lecoq (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 09:01 (fourteen years ago) link
i did not know that pm dawn were considered to be one of those acts that everyone had to hear. rev otm tho, listen to some damn madonna.
also soulja boy's entire thing is that he's young and dumb and kinda gonzo, so when he slips into dumb/offensive from dumb/entertaining, you just roll your eyes. mia's entire thing is that she's a smart political artist who's ~opening your eyez~ so the gap between the image she's trying to sell us and what she actually says is a lot wider than soulja boy's.
