soulja-boy-adds-an-extension-to-his-career

Soulja Boy adds an extension to his career!

The “one hit wonder” is now making you wonder if his next single and upcoming sophomore LP will be…. well, a hit!

“My new album is called Back to School,” he revealed last week in Atlanta. “Basically, it is really me taking it back to the basics. It’s time to start studying again. Make it happen, man. … The time I drop the album, everybody is gonna be going back to school. My fans are 21 and under. That’s what I’m focusing on.”

Soulja may have rapped about getting F’s in school, but since he’s become a celeb, the young’un has obviously garnered knowledge in economics. He has a full blitz tied into the album. Besides the record, he’s dropping the Soulja Boy sunglasses, his own signature shoes called Yums, as well as a cartoon titled “Bad Little Homies” about him and his friends. Not to be left out is the ever-essential clothing, S.O.D.s. It’s named after his record label, Stacks on Deck. On deck are his protégés the All-Stars. Topping it all off will be the Soulja Boy and Friends Tour, featuring himself and other young acts.

Soulja said that since he’s making all that money now, he’ll be willing to open his album up for collaborations this time. He produced 90 percent of his debut and had no big-name features.

“I’m on Interscope [Records]. I could have went to 50 [Cent], Polow [Da Don], Timbaland,” he said about his first effort. “I feel as though I had to prove myself. [This time,] I’mma look around [for tracks], whether it’s a producer like Polow or a producer nobody ever heard of. For my fanbase, people who tune in to Soulja Boy, I think a good feature would be me and Chris Brown. Soulja Boy featuring Chris Brown — my audience would be like, ‘Oh my God!’ ”

*starts reading* [My new album is called Back to School,” he revealed last week in Atlanta. “Basically, it is really me taking it back to the basics. It’s time to start studying again.]

And I’m done.

1. What motivation did you have to name it BACK TO SCHOOL? Did he actually do this!? Graduate from high school and then get back with us.
2. Take it back the basics?! Exactly what does that mean? He’s like 12! What does he know about BASICS?! Matter of fact, Soulja BOY…name off the basics right now…..go!

I’m all for entrepreneurship for our youth, but um…I just can’t support this.

Soulja Boy you are an ass hat. 12 year old kids hate you. You’re fans are 21 and older? Quit counting family members you egg headed hooker. Stupid ass bum you do need to go back to school unfortunately they can’t teach you talent.

You don’t need to the best rapper to make club music and that’s what he makes. Niggaz can’t win now days. Put it to you this way, would you rather this dude to be killing ya family off, selling rock to ya lil brother knocking up ya lil sister or would you rather a lil nigga wit goals that’s staying away from the bullshit street shit and testing the waters of entrepreneurship.

Damn its some major hatin goin on in here…I’m no Soulja, fan but Im all about supporting people in general

Killin somebody for killin hip hop wont solve the problem… sorry lil buddy lmao!

Why dont you raise the standards and stop hatin…this may revive the hip hop that you say is dead…

Matter of fact is Hip Hop is dead why are there so many folk trying to be rappers (not MC’s).

Its easy, if you dont like his music don’t buy it…by the way I cant stand that “booty meat” song…but it is hilarious!lol

isee get rich quik schemes, good for himself

but hes shit

and im tired of this snapping music.(referring to his new tune iDanceand other snapping music)

Thats the problem with too many american rappers these days, a new trend comes out, they start riding it like its **** and they don’t jump off until its limp and deadout.

You know, I agree with all of you. Yes, he is killing hip hop in a musical aspect.. Yes, he is the wackest RAPPER known to man. However, he thinks just like the white people at the top of Interscope Records. They are telling him what will sale. That’s not him talkin, that’s Jimmy Iovine talkin. Hip Hop isn’t dead.. IT”S BURIED ALIVE. Soulja Boy, do ya thing.. But hopefully as you grow out of this stage, you’ll begin to see what this whole thing is about. Where my hip hops at!!??

The thing I dont get about him that he made a comment sayin he’s BETTER than Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye. Listen to what they are saying on their records. They make POINTS, the things that we can relate to.

OH WOW! I SEE ALOT OF COMMENTS DISSIN SOULJA BOY BUT IN REALITY DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHAT ANY OF YOU THINK? REGARDLESS OF YOUR OPINION HE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE MUSIC AND PEOPLE THAT LIKE HIM WILL CONTINUE TO BUY IT. I DIDN’T BUY THE ALBUM BUT I WON’T WASTE ME TIME DOGGIN HIM WHEN HE’S OBVIOUSLY DOIN WHAT HE ENJOYS, HE’S A MINOR PEOPLE, WHEN WAS IT EVER RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT LITTLE KIDS, ITS REALLY SAD IF YOU ASK ME. WHEN LIL BOW WOW WAS RAPPIN BOUT BOUNCE WIT ME WAS PEOPLE SAYIN HE KILLED HIP HOP, UHHHH NO! SOULJA BOY IS APPEALING TO THE LIL KIDS AND I DON’T SEE A PROBLEM WIT IT.

This is why Soulja Boy put his first album out without big names and features. On his second time around he will prove whether he can stay relevant in the realm of hip hop. Even as much as I hate snap music or whatever the FU.. you call that crap you gotta say if you’ve developed a hatred towards it, it’s only because you’ve listened to it about 500 times! Crank dat Soulja Boy! Crank dat jump rope! Walk it out! Do the ratchet! Fu.. it. Get money!

in my OPINION (no people, not hatred), i reckon soulja boy should grow up and start making music with a tad more sense to it’s lyrics
i dont know how the HELL his music is in anyway, nice to the ears
supersoak that bitch? is this guy in the progress of publishing his own dictionary or something?
