Soulja Boy: Is The Joke On Us?

The whole “Soulja Boy loves the slavemasters” controversy continued this week, when Toure–who elicited the controversial quote from the YouTube sensation/Segway fan, responded to SB’s allegations that he was just trying to bring the lulz when he was thanking those men for paving the way toward his sparkly jewelry and body art. Toure told HipHopDX, “Let me be clear: I was looking into Soulja Boy’s eyes when he said, ‘Shout out to the slave masters. Without them we wouldn’t be here to get this ice and tattoos.’ He wasn’t joking. That said, if he thinks shouting out the slave masters who owned, whipped, and raped our ancestors is funny, then that’s even more alarming. Either way he’s clearly not mature enough for a serious conversation.” But one writer wonders if the “not-joking” stance Soulja Boy put on is actually a manifestation of the fact that, thanks in part to his catchphrase-stuffed singles and self-congratulatory YouTube videos, he’s a performance artist of sorts, acting out the worst impulses of every nouveau riche teen as a commentary of sorts on the last gasps of the nu-gilded age.

Soulja Boy On His Shout Out To The Slavemasters: “I’ve Made A Huge Mistake”

The YouTube-spawned MC Soulja Boy caused a bit of a stir when word got out that he was giving props to slavemasters of yore, since without them he wouldn’t be here “to get his ice and tattoos.” Not all that surprising, given his Gob Bluth-like behavior of late, but it still left a bit of an appalling aftertaste in peoples’ mouths. Well, he just wants to let you know that he was totally kidding! Or being sarcastic! Or just not understanding the “tough” questions posed to him by the hip-hop journalist Toure.

Soulja Boy Totally OK With The Slave Trade, Since He Was Able To Score Some Sweet Tattoos As A Result

Sure, “Soulja Boy says something stupid” is sorta dog-bites-man news at this point, but this quote he gave to Toure last week while being interviewed for a BET show kind of goes above and beyond the Gob Bluthisms dude has been dropping up to this point. OK, it doesn’t go “sort of” above and beyond–it makes you want to lock this kid in a room with a book. Any book.

Man, am I conflicted about this new Soulja Boy video, “Donk.” On first listen, it sounded like Ice-T’s worst fears writ large: A kid yelping about asses and humping the clap beat like Luke was sponsoring a Miami Bass Special Olympics. More »


Soulja Boy And Ice-T End Their Beef. So Who Won?

The war between Soulja Boy and Ice-T is over. A-Rab no longer has to be on the lookout for SVU detectives planting evidence. Evil E can walk down the street without wondering if that teenager is going to throw a semen-stained bedsheet on his back, yelling “Yahhh, trick, yahhh!” But while both sides have promised no more YouTubes on the subject, there’s little sense of the rift between B.C. (Before Christopher Wallace) and A.D. (After Diddy) rappers being closed. Explains Soulja, “Basically comments were made (by Ice-T) and I had to defend myself,” Soulja Boy told AllHipHop. “The GZA had said something about me one time and 50 jumped it in. And this time it was Ice-T and Kanye jumped in it. It’s the new Hip-Hop sticking together and I love it.” Do you?

Ice-T Hated Soulja Boy Well Before Their YouTube Beef

AP060330010533.jpgGrandpa Ice-T and young Soulja Boy may have quashed their beef, but a clip of Ice-T bitching about Soulja last October (“Soulja Boy? The fuck is that? It’s garbage! And if the dude doesn’t like it, I’ll punch him in his face.”) that recently popped up on YouTube just may reignite it. Not only does it add a violent threat to the mix, it also casts serious doubt on Ice-T’s claims that he was being goaded into dissing Soulja Boy on the mixtape that started it all. Even if Soulja ignores this cane shaking, Lil’ Mama (“‘My lip gloss be popping?’ Get the fuck out of here.”) and Mims (“We came all the way from Rakim to ‘This Is Why I’m Hot’…) may step up to the star of Surviving The Game with some sequel beef.
