Soulja Boy - no other hip hop artist in recent times has so strongly polarised opinion. On the one hand, you have the 16 year old girls, who like the dance. On the other, the rest of the world's population, who have little patience for another talentless shmuck with a repetitive chorus who makes far more money than they do.
First off, I give him mad props for putting the dance tutorial up on Youtube. Sure anyone could have done it, but he's the one who did. In the same vein, any eccentric Italian with fetishes for electricity and dead frogs could have discovered bioelectricity, but Galvani was the one who went out there and did it, so he gets a battery named after him. Do you have a battery named after you? No? Good. So shut up.
I have zero respect for him as a linguist; he certainly can't compete with the lyrical genius of most rappers, East and West. But his music is FUN, and I don't require ALL of my pursuits to be intellectually stimulating.
Only most.
Sex n Scrabble, anyone?
