Given our recent discussion this video on Braid I thought this Video was a good follow-up

    This comes off as racist.
    I'm mocking the previous trainwreck of a thread, for those of you who don't get it.

    I'm pretty sure most Soldier boy fans aren't in college.



    Because they are 12.

    Edit: "man" is not punctuation.

    Edit2: His myspace has what he does live all the time!?!

    I can imagine if he managed to learn flash animation he would make a fuck ton of money. All his rapper friends would be like "Soulja Boy can make the phat website dope bombs my hizzle. We gots to get our label to drop him the mad benjamins to have him make that shit for us. Now slap me some skin and lets go sell more songs to them honky kids my brother".

    That was disappointing, I was expecting him to start showing off some Flash animation tricks similar to "You suck at Photoshop".

    I really don't understand why this guy gets so much hate. Everybody bagged on Soulja Boy for the Braid video, even though he was obviously having a good time. Now everybody's gonna bag on him for this because what, because he wants to do something with the wealth and power he's accumulated?

    That's not something to hate someone for. It is something to be jealous of, which I think is the more common case. Sorry, but you don't get that rich that young by being a moron.

    I gotta agree with Falcon. if you don't think he's a moron, then well, something is wrong.

    He has gotten that rich that young by making horribly mediocre hip-hop which chavs and most mainstream audiences seem to lap up because it's "gangsta".

    Doesn't take brains to do it.

    No, that's "giving brain" - not "having brains."

    Just because the mainstream media isn't populated by intelligentsia doesn't mean that the people who take advantage of it are morons.

    Paris Hilton, for example, is a moron. She just has lots of money from her family and the media uses her to their advantage, and she lets them do it because it, guess what, make her more money because it's free publicity. Maybe that's not fair because she already had money.

    50 cent made some really smart, REALLY lucky business decisions, like buying a shit load of shares in Vitawater before Coca Cola bought them. Now he has all the money he needs to do what he wants. Before that, he had nothing.

    Ice-T was a frickin' pimp, in the very literal sense of the word, and STILL managed to, through self promotion and savy business decisions, he was able to amass wealth and power.

    Everybody bags on these guys, yet they all have lots of money and power. Hell, when it comes to hip hop, most of those guys came up from nothing and had way more to go through than most people would have to. Everyone acts like it's so easy to do, but if that was the case, everyone would do it. Taking advantage of people is how business works. You can call them morons, but they just laugh all the way to the bank on the backs of the morons who buy their shit.

    See, the problem is that I like Ice-T and 50 Cent is reasonably tolerable.

    Soulja Boy just sounds like a schmuck.

    Who the fuck 'bags' on Ice-T?

    Souljaboy is an ignorant, offensive smear who makes terrible, awful music which alone should justify any amount of hatred anyone cares to level at him.

    See, the thing is, 50 and Ice-T are very much self-aware - they know that they're in the music business and are, to use a phrase, "in it to win it." They'll exploit the morons, and good for them - exploiting the stupid is what makes (Insert Nation Of Choice Here) great.

    To say that Soulja Boy isn't self-aware is a gross understatement - I don't think he can feel his own face. Like, dude, I mean, he can touch it, but he can't, y'know, feel it. Far out, man.

    Fuck, I made it to a minute and a half in. I have no idea what the shit this has to do with Games or Technology, but I feel like less of a person. A minute and half of this video has stolen a good portion of my humanity.
