Soulja Boy Speaks On How The Media Makes Him Look Stupid and Ignorant
Chozen | 24 comments | 1,845 views |
Why do the media blow up the things that they think will make me look stupid or ignorant. Why not publicize or put me in the spotlight when I do positive things? What about when I was in the hood this past Christmas passing out toys to everybody on the westside of Atlanta where I grew up why not show that on TV? Why not publicize my Little league football team that I sponsor in Batesville, MS or the money I donated to help build the rec center and boyz and girls club!? What about when I donated $25,000 for all those kids to have a good Christmas with the Toyz n da hood foundation? Why not step in when Ice-T was dissing me why not call up and have a sit down to squash that beef. THINK ABOUT IT A 40 YEAR OLD SOMETHING GANGSTA NIGGA VS. A 16 YEAR OLD KID (AT THE TIME). What if he really did have O.G. crip niggaz that had a price on my head to murder me? WHY DIDN’T YOU TRY TO STEP IN AND STOP THAT? HUH?. you worried about a black diamond chain that I received as birthday present??? WTF What about when me and Tigger was in D.C. buying all those can foods for the homeless??? Why not publicize when them niggaz ran in my house and tried to kill me and I had to defend myself and blast they ass. WHY NOT SHOW THAT ON TV???? HUH!???? CUZ U DONT WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THE REAL SHIT THATS GOIN BEHIND THE SCENES U WANT EVERYTHING WATERED DOWNED AND FAKE THATS WHY! FUCK THAT! I’m all the way REAL 100. I know America probably ain’t ready for a young black rich nigga running around doing it how he had it planned since he was little. But i’m from the hood! This is all I know! All I grew up seeing was diamondz, money, drugs, fightin, shootin, dancing, basketball and football. real nigga shit that’s all I was around while I grew up! I don’t know shit else! I got signed when I was 16 and it took me away from that environment and put me on a whole other level that blew my mind. I’ve traveled all across the world and seen some AMAZING MIND BLOWING THINGS. But I can’t run from my past I can’t act like i’m something i’m not! I only can be what I know and be who I am WHICH IS ME. A young nigga who was born in Southside Chicago moved to ATL and went to high school in Mississippi. NEVER stayed in a good neighborhood my whole life until after I got signed! BUT IT IS WHAT IS IT IS. IM REAL AS IT GET AND ALOT OF PEOPLE LOVE ME FOR THAT. AND LOT OF PEOPLE HATE ME FOR THAT. I’m just being ME that’s all I can be! im out 100 ROLE MODEL OR NO ROLE MODEL IM ONLY HUMAN.
Your Thoughts?

I respect that. You can’t knock tha kid for doin him and being successful. If you could, you would do it too. Whether everyone enjoys his music or not, at least he doin sum constructive with himself, and he chooses to gives back to the less fortunate on top of it?? That boy got heart, and all I can do is give tha young man his props. Keep doing you playboi, fucc tha haterz. =)

I dont like Soulja Boy music but I feel where he ocmin from. But at the same time he need to realize that the media does shit like that to sell stuff. They find the worse thing they possibly can and sell, they dont care what good things you do because it doesnt sell.

u know wat? i feel where soulja bo is coming from but when you buy diamond-incrusted remote-control cars and flaunt your stuff and rub in people faces who still on they grind by making videos on how rich people live is giving the media something to bag on you about.

u said u grew up only knowing about a few topics, and thats all u know… so you areee ignorant, stop blaming the media. and wt u mean america cant stand 2 c a black man make somtn outa himself, u r just a musician, thats good but ur liek sayn that you have accomplished more than obama…and i agree wit something someone said up there^, if u want people 2 know about wt u do, then u can make songs about it, and it seems like u just do all that stuff 2 gt noticed, give back because u think its right, not 4 publicity or recognition

heres my honest opinion: yup you cant knock that he did hustle his song pretty good might of cause the whole transition to hip-hops new era(even though i dont like it) but i think this is just a cry out. I mean why put out all the “positive things that you do” bcus if you do it you should not need any spotlight on that. but bsides that i agree with the media showing you in the bad light.

Whoever hates on what da nigga Soulja Boy is sayin is a lame fuck nigga! Look I dont really like da niggas music, but I can understand why he’s mad at the media. The media ALWAYS focuses on the negative aspects of young black men. When niggas do positive shit, the media could care less, but let a nigga get a DUI and that shit will be flooded all over the news. Its all a form of racism and people can argue that all they want but its true. Fuck da media and they hatin asses. ESPN does dis shit all the time. Plaxico shoots himself in da leg and its on t.v. allday long. But Big Ben had a potential RAPE case and that shit was barely mentioned! WTF!! Fuck dem haters!! Get money!!

Why everyone hatin’ on soulja boy ? Yeah he only make dance songs. All the boy is doin’ is hustlin’ and workin’ hard. Why do people hate on success and hard work ? Who cares if he can’t rap. He gets the party crunk and makes a shxt load of money while doin’ it. Stop hatin’. Theres been plenty 1 hit wonders and hip hop, and ya’ll seem to love them more than ya’ll like soulja boy. Shxt he’s not a one hit wonder. He got 2 albums under his belt and one went multi platinum, while the other went gold. stop hatin’ on the kid. do ya thang soulja boy.

First Off, the media is scrutinizing what you do because now you are in the spotlight. Enjoy the money, but expect to have some social responsibility. There are alot of young kids in America that could use a good role model. Maybe even one who can spell!
