Soulja Boy: ‘I Want To Be A Positive Example’

Published: Thursday 18th Dec 2008 by Sam
In a video statement to the Associated Press, teen rapper Soulja Boy stresses that he wants to become a role model for young children, hence is taking a U-Turn with his music’s message, so as to be a ‘positive example’:

LOL. I guess someone has an album to plug. This PR/marketing stunt is so transparent it’s a joke. Baring in mind he is still in ‘one-hit wonder’ territory, it makes me wonder who these supposed ‘fans’ are. I mean, does anyone still even do the ‘Crank That’?

That said, maybe I should stop going in on the boy; label-influenced or not, more ‘positive’ message music is always a welcome contribution to the industry…

Or maybe not LOL…

Your thoughts?

    Yeah he did release his album on the 16th, which surprised me cause I haven’t heard any singles from it, heard of “Bird Walk,” though…. He really is a one hit wonder.

    If he has a song where he is the lead artist reach the Top 10 of the Hot 100, I’ll be surprised!

    If he is sincere, then I respect what he has said. However, it is a sad day in age if young kids are looking up to Soulja boy. It is even sadder that a parent found it okay to let some 5 year old listen to Crank That anyway.

    I would have given him a little more credit if he had done this much earlier than album release. His music sucks, and we all know that but I will admit it is somewhat commendable that he’s trying to at least improve even though it’s for publicity for his new album.
