One big proof of this true fact is this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vum3qgoh0x4

And I know that isn't the only song that Soulja Boy has done, but seriously, why did he have to try and get attention from the world public by doing this one song and encouraging everybody to do the same dance moves he does? All I can say is, WTF...I used to like rap quite a bit until the very moment he burst into the scene, and from that point on, all of my respect for today's rap has been lost. And I can't understand at all why he and this one song became extremely popular, it isn't even rap for crying out loud!

I'll continue to listen to some good rap from my favorite rap artists T.I. and The Game, but Soulja Boy makes me do the following move:

-First facepalm, gasp a huge breath of air, faint, and fall to the ground...

So yeah, that pretty much sums up my opinion of the Soulja Boy. Anybody with me here? Agreed or not?

I think rap died before Soulja Boy came around. He's just making that fact glaringly obvious.

Soulja Boy is just a popular rapper. He isn't particularly bad, when compared to some other rappers out there. He's bad, no doubt, but honestly, he's not the worst thing to happen to rap, or music for that matter. :|

Eh, I've always been more into metal than rap in the first place anyways, so it doesn't really matter who my favorite rappers are anyways. But if I have a favorite rapper(s), that means there's a few songs from them that I like, but there will always be disgusting, 0% appealing songs from them at the same time. You know how the whole rap system works, right?

if you think the game is as bad as soulja boy then you need to find a genre to listen to. soulja boy and others like him such as lil boosie, baby boy the prince and all these other rappers make you wish their dads would have worn a raincoat when that m oment was right. rap is losing a battle and will soon be 100% fake, phony, and or destroyed

good rappers:

andre nickatina

afroman

tech nine

westside connection

the game

Dr Dre

cam'ron on of the only new rappers worth anything

jurassic 5

and many others.

You have just read a proven fact.

I'm a huge hip hop head...I was pretty active in the OTB union until I went to college. So yes. Hip Hop is what I listen to around 95% of the time.

What the hell? I thought Eminem was a pretty damn good rapper.

I agree, Emimem was, and to a certain degree still is, a good rapper. He is capable of rhyming multiple words, instead of using the same word at the end of each line just to make it rhyme. And also, is able to make catchy or somewhat interesting lyrics.

brotha lynch

N.W.A

and jay z
