Soulja Boy was almost the cause of my suicide this evening

Soulja Boy was almost the cause of my suicide this evening

Postby Elision » Mar 18th, '11, 09:56

I walked into my living room, where for some reason MTV was on. And my ears, for the first time, heard "Pretty Boy Swag" by Soulja Boy.

...I live on the 16th floor of a Houston hi-rise. I sat there dumbfounded as I stared at the screen. As an artist myself with big dreams, it makes you want to give up knowing that Pretty Boy Swag is getting national airtime while people like Wax, Hopsin, R.A. The Rugged Man etc. Will most likely go unnoticed by the majority.

Pretty Boy Swag is bringing in millions, while the lyrical surgeons who put their heart and mind into every single syllable of every single line are given the cold shoulder.

I seriously considered jumping off my balcony, that's how awful this song was.

Please, if you're like me and you're generally good at avoiding radio-hiphop, I strongly urge you to avoid this song at all costs.

Yeah, avoid it. Check out "30 Thousand 100 Million" & "Mean Mug" instead.

Because of this thread I was exposed to this song...excuse me while I go and jump in-front of a lorry or something.

Does this shit really constitute as Rap / Hip Hop? :(

Pretty Boy Swag is a banger you hear on partys.

I better listen to a banger bt Soulja in a party, insted og LTWYL or sumting :whistle:
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

Hip Hop Is Dead , what Nas started in 2006 , he was talking about this , the media
here's a quote by RZA , who is also against this shit :
RZA said :

"How has the South dominated hip hop for the last four, five years without lyrics, without hip hop culture really in their blood? Those brothers came out representing more of a stereotype of how black people are, and I think the media would rather see us as ignorant, crazy motherfuckers than seeing us as intelligent young men trying to rise and take care of ourselves."


this game will be dead soon , not because of the number of good rappers .. it's the media that controls everything , and too bad it's a bad media , even Obama knows what good rap is (he listens to Jay-Z , Nas & "some Kanye")

the media is killing every thing :coffee:


That's some real talk by RZA, well put.

Cause the shit I hear is crazy
But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
Cant make a decision you keep questioning yourself
Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
