What Will Soulja Boy’s Thinking Skills Produce?
Thinking skills can help us pull through the most difficult of situations. Sometimes, I wonder what rapper, Soulja Boy is thinking up to get himself out of the mess he seems to have put himself in. Not being one to judge without looking at both sides of the spectrum, writers try to remain un-bias, but alas, when facts are laid on the table, any you are caught red handed, it seems the criticism may be justified?
The Beginning
Who would have ever thought DeAndre Ramone Way, better known as Soulja Boy, would gain so much success? In 2005, Soulja Boy played a smooth business move by placing his songs on online music sharing websites under famous musicians names. Though the maneuver was rather sneaky, it caught the attention of many a young audience, between the ages of 6 and 40. Soulja Boy, Tell Em was the hit that spawned the country. It seemed videos were popping up everywhere with people doing the Soulja Boy dance. Amazingly, the songs he sold on the online music sharing sites, such as Myspace, Youtube, and SoundClick dot com started rising in popularity. Of course, the major record labels noticed this, and gave him a shot at better distribution, media coverage, music video funds, and a whopping $500,000 advance. He had made it big, at the age of 17.
Critics, and Fans
After Soulja Boys album released, it seemed his record sales would soar to the top of the charts. However, many hip-hop and Rap fans detest his music style, claiming that the young rapper was, killing Hip-Hop. Regardless of what these legends of Hip-Hop think, the youth are today determining Soulja Boys success, and the radio stations, in the more predominately black areas, but also suburban pop stations are playing his songs repeatedly throughout the day.
The Genius
At the tender age of 17, Soulja Boy has managed to put himself in a position that most people only dream of: he owns his own product, completely. Because he wrote and produced his own material, he earns more money from the album sales. This is the reason that he could pay the record label back their advancement, although his album isnt selling as fast as he or the label would like it to. With album sales reaching over a million, and with him receiving over $3 from each album sale, a rough estimate of his funds would be in the vicinity of $3m! In spite of what any critics or die hard Hip-Hop fans have to say about his music, nobody can take away the fact that he became a self-made millionaire before he became an adult.
Is the 15 Minutes of Fame Up?
Now that Internet gossip websites, and television gossip shows have been airing his dirty laundry, like owing over $9,000 in rent, and receiving many complaints from neighboring tenants, his arrogance has grown enormously. He made a video (the video is currently removed) showing many many chairs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and stacks upon stacks of bounded $100 bills. On October 09, 2009, Soulja Boy was arrested for running away from police while attending a party in an abandoned house. People judge the young man and many dont realize that he earnt a lot of money at a very young age. Turning eighteen allowed him to decide what to do with his money for himself. Kids make mistakes, and they need to grow up, but with money of that size, trouble could be just on the horizon.
Who knows why Soulja Boy has been graced with such success, and little influence of the progression of Hip-Hop music as an art. His image, however, is failing, and his arrogance is costing him his credibility. Hes going to have some major thinking skills to get himself out of the ditch hes currently digging. Maybe grace will save him, just as it lifted him.
