Souljah boy claiming to be the best rapper &/OR the difference between hip hop & rap

Okay…see?

Souljah boy has been quoted to saying something to the effect that he’s the hottest rapper out…hotter than Lil Wayne…and Hotter than Jay-Z

There’s a few things wrong with this statement.

*ahem*

Souljah boy has the lyrical expertise of a Mute Raccoon with Down syndrome.

The problem (among other things) is that song he made ‘crankin dat’ was a hit. YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU people liked/listened/watched and know how to do that dance
…maybe not alladat but summa dat

Record sales do NOT make you hot…it makes record companies rich.
Selling 500,000 the first week does NOT mean you’re the hottest rapper out…it means you’ve catered to the lowest common denominator and made some wack ish for the most part.

Well…I guess technically he could be right.

Depends on how you use the word ‘Hot’ now if you mean hot by in demand and talked about and copied the most at the present time? Then SURE He could be the “Hottest” rapper out right now.

He’s more of a fad than anything else…how’s that follow up single going?

BUT See, I feel that when he and others say “Hot” they mean the Best….best songs, lyrics, appeal, etc etc. and in THIS case…stop the madness

I’d rather get a naked Winehouse lap dance than have to listen to his entire CD

It’s everyone’s fault that this is happening…

Grown ups think this ish is cute…letting their kids do these dumb ass dances (I mean we had a ton of them) it’s the mind numbing music and idiotic songs that accompany them
The Kids aren’t educated well enough in the schools that this ish should be slightly insulting
And they are not educated enough in what real music should sound like so people just pass out anything and they eat it up.

Kids are dumb.

Rappers have admitted that they ‘dumb down’ their lyrics for the person that listens….WHY?
Challenge these idiots if they don’t understand…maybe they’d have to *gasp* read a damn book or search something out to realize what you’re saying and actually learn something? Heavens forbid.

THEN the young artists come out already stupid and make dumb ass songs cuz they don’t know any better already.

Soljah boy shoulda been looked at as a Weird AL instead of a quality artist.

The problem with music…ESP rap (cuz aint no hip hop) I will always say is when people started looking at it as a profession instead of a passion or love.

There was a time when no one went Gold or platinum…didn’t even mention it…record sales were 3rd at best behind
1. Being the best  2. Getting your message out….that’s all they wanted to do is be better and say what they wanted to say

Thing is they had something to say and did it creatively…might not has always been the most intelligent but it was creative.

..and biting was wack.

Anyway back to Soljah….

The OTHER problem is comparing himself to Jay Z and Wayne…who said THEY were the best besides record sales?
Just because a person is on every song on the radio …doesn’t mean what they’re saying on these songs is worth anything

With this logic, T-Pain is the Singer of the year.

eggs ackly.

Jay-Z and Wayne are popular…

Jay-Z once said “He’s still spending money from ’88…well now he’s using reputation from ’98 cuz his last 3-4 CDs have been HORRIBLE

I dunno…clearly I’m a big fat eclectik hater
