Another day, another blow up from Soulja Boy…but does he have a point?
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 SHI*T THATS GOIN BEHIND THE SCENES U WANT EVERYTHING WATERED DOWNED AND FAKE THATS WHY! FU*CK THAT! I’m all the way REAL 100. I know America probably ain’t ready for a young black rich n*gga 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 n*gga shit that’s all I was around while I grew up! I don’t know sh*t 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 n*gga 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.
Soulja Boys’ vent was in response to Blogger Lowkey blasting him for his recent purchase of a lamborghini and (let me make sure I say this right); Matching black diamond remote control lambo chain. (I can just imagine how much that cost)
Watch The Video of Soulja Playing With His New Toys
“Does he understand the magnitude of influence he possess over the young mindz of our urban youth? Has it marinated that he basically has the power to persuade the most IGNORANT of the ignorant to sway some, not all, of their life choices? Whether this kid likes it or not- HE’S A ROLE MODEL.” says Lowkey of his recent purchases. He then suggested Soulja Boy invest in other entities outside of record deals, clothing deals and shoe deals and maybe send a homie or two to college.
…But who are we to tell celebrities what to do with their money? If they want to blow their riches that they worked so hard for on material things just to have nothing to show for it years later,is it our responsibility to stop them? MC Hammer stood on national television with his 11 year old recently and was unexpectedly asked “how did you loose over 30 million dollars”?? How do you explain that to your kids? The music producer Scott Storch blew 30 million in 6 months. Where they do that at? Seriously…
To make matters worse, he’s only 19 and we have to remind ourselves of that fact every time we see him doing stupid Rich N*gga Sh*t! Sometimes I do think the press is too hard on him but it’s evident he lacks guidance and the right mentors. He’s the typical example of what happens when you take a poor boy out of the hood, give him plenty of money and no specific instructions on what to do with it.
At this point, all we can do is hope he’s not sitting on someone’s couch, 20 years from now with his son being asked “how did you blow 30 mil”….
