There was a review in the NYTimes about Soulja Boy and they said the album reminded them of the good ol' days of rap, when beats were simple and rhymes were witty.

Translation, they don't know the good ol' days of rap from their assholes. If this guy tried to come out in 1982 he would've been dissed by everyone and their mother. He is not in the leagues of people like Melle Mel, Kurtis Blow, Whodini or whoever else was out then. Comparing that kind of delivery and production to each other is an insult to hip hop's roots. It just amazes how much these shitty rags worship this crap music. They must be in cahootz or something. I remember months before Nelly came out I read about his wack ass being the future in Newsweek, of all fucking places.

After Gamefaqs made that Chris Benoit joke? NEVER. The song's now officially in the "Hilarious In-Joke" catagory.

....I'm almost afraid to ask.

One of the others was catchy, but I didn't know if I should shell out a buck for the other 3 minutes of it.

Yeah, that's probably what happened. Some A&R probably was looking for some more dirty south bullshit, heard his mp3, and instant profit. Rinse and repeat.

True, but black people like this song too. It's definitely a mix of both races which has lead to the development of hip hop becoming the music industry's whore.

Yeah, there's a couple black kids in my algebra class that I hear them kind of singing the Soulja Boy song to each other, and then going "No, that's not how the dance goes... let me show you" "No, you have to put your left foot over on the side..." etc. - they're annoying  Like anyone cares if you do the DUMB dance anyways? Gee

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Any song with it's own dance is gonna suck.

"Macarena"? Sucks. "Achy Breaky Heart"? Sucks. "Walk Like an Egyptian"? Sucks.

Alright, someone made this topic with all these complicated details about the murder and finally asked the question "But who let the dogs out into the yard?" (Google case info).

Second post: The Baha Men.

IT WAS WIN.

There's some new issue for some 'zine that popped up in the last few days with SouljaBoy and 2 others on the cover with the blurb "Future of Hip-Hop?" on there. Need to look at it again tommorrow to remember the other guys on there, but it was...well, quite "le sigh" to see it there.

Well, "The Source" has him, Hurricane Chris (sucks) and some dude called Mr. Collipark who I've NEVER heard of on it.

Gah...if this is the future, then I weep for it.

For those not sick of "Soulja Boy" (there's gotta be like, someone out there right?) Noz over at Cocaine Blunts put up links to "Crank Dat Trendwatch Volumes 1 and 2".

Basically, compilations with all those knock offs with "Crank Dat _____".

Sadly missing, "Crank That (Kosher Boy)":
