When Snoop Dogg went on the Jamie Foxx radio show, The Foxxhole and said how horrible Soulja Boy's music was, despite being a marketing genius in his promotion of his horrible songs.. I nodded my head in agreement. But now Snoop is making music with him because his kids like him and these days Snoop is all about his kids and wife, which is awesome and something I promote as a positive growth for the former stoner of the year, But still, Come on Snoop ! Take the kids to Disney World, don't team up with the worst thing to happen to rap since OJ the Juice Man decided it was cool to name himself that.
Soulja Boy started the trend of making music both viral and not about the quality of the actual songs . He also furthered the trend started by Three Six Mafia of making throw away songs, which is essentially just a song you can listen to for two weeks before you realize how horrible it is.
During that two weeks you might make it your ring tone and hop out your seat any time it's on, but anytime after that you find something else to listen to. These type of songs will never be classics and have a passing appeal. Soulja Boy's- Crank That Soulja Boy managed to extend it's appeal by also having a dance. You see in order to get the dance down, you ahd to both listen to the song and watch the video for extended periods of time. And after you finally figured it out, you just HAD to show it off at every wedding, party or club you went to. After all, you did spend all that time in your room figuring it out...
After a while this too got old and Soulja boy decided to try to become a better lyracist. He did this by writing two decent lines and repeating them when he features on other people's songs. In the above song, Soulja Boy's entire second verse is nothing more than his first verse from a song on his second album. Since no one bought it, I guess he thought no one would notice.
