Okay, so maybe I DO just like to challenge everything for the sake of doing it. Hey, hating on him is basically a trend now.
Then again, I hate the sound of his music....
Think about Soulja Boy. He's not Hip Hop, or any sort of singing or rapping...what is he..?
It's probably some of that southern crunk and snap shit.
Now it sounds bad to a lot, but think bout it, this guy is smarter than his music sounds.
1. He makes music that's just pure fun. Look at all the people having fun doing that gay- ass dance, he's obviously appealing to all these kids.
2. He makes music that appeals to the Southern simple snap music. As an MC he's hardly tolerable, as a producer he is not bad, making his songs in the demo of fruity loops, he got what he aimed for, snap.
He's making more money off these kids than you'd think, meanwhile, although in MY OPINION it sounds bad, some kids like it.
If you are one to look for vocals and depth, then he is not for you, but for the type of songs played in clubs, on the streets, at parties and gatherings as well as just the sound of the beat, you can see why they would choose Soulja Boy.
It uses a gimmicky dance mixed with a terribly heavy bassline and some poor grammar (apparently fashionable nowadays.) he appeals to who he wants to.
Think about it.
