Video: Soulja Boy and Chief Keef Team up for Song "Foreign Cars".


Soulja Boy and and Chief Keef have teamed up to collectively make our ears (and eyes) bleed with a new song called “Foreign Cars”and its accompanying music video, and all of it is just turrible. Just turrible!
Not that we expected much from either Soulja Boy or Chief Keef, but my God! This is pretty awful. The song, the video (aside from the quality), the blackness of Chief Keef’s neck (seriously, what is that? a tattoo? dirt?), Soulja boy’s off-beat, unintelligible, out-of-tune verse. Everything.
Everything is just horrible, and utterly dreadful, and these two need to cease and desist.
To be fair, Chief Keef’s verse isn’t all that bad, but Soulja Boy’s? … Wow. You just have to listen for yourself.

SOULJA BOY – ‘THERE GO SOULJA’


Soulja Boy brags about his riches as he rides around in his foreign whip on the boastful “There Go Soulja,” the first single off his mixtape Young & Flexin’, which drops November 6.

Before releasing the song, he took shots at Bow Wow on Twitter (“I ain’t tryna go broke like @ymcmb_bw did”), to which the “106 & Park” host responded, “We wish Soulja the best. Hope he can deliver us a video and bring it to my show. I'm sure his fans would love that. #MrBET #Mr106andpark.” They later settled their differences over the phone.

Soulja Boy – Pretty Boy Swag (BADBADNOTGOOD Remix) | New Music

We have a huge surprise for all of the jazz / BADBADNOTGOOD fans out there!  The amazing jazz trio has now released their reworking of Soulja Boy’s old hit single ‘Pretty Boy Swag’, and it is really dope.  The original song was very popular, but to my ears the organ and the drums from BADBADNOTGOOD really enhance the song and this version is awesome.

NBA Rappers: NBA Players, Hip Hop Stars to Make a Joint Rap Album.


It is pretty well-known that basketball and music are synonymous. Early in the 2000s, we had Shaquille O’Nealand Kobe Bryant as the stand out rappers in the league. Now players such as Kevin Durant and Iman Shumpertare some of the better known rappers in the NBA.
Coming together as a charity project, up to 14 NBA players are coming together to release Full Court Press Volume 1.
News broke on the Full Court Press album a few weeks ago when video showed Juwan Howard in the studio.
The list of players that will be participating on Full Court Press Vol. 1 with champion Howard include Josh Smith, “Big Baby” Glen Davis, Shawn Marion, Stephen Jackson, Lamar Odom, Baron Davis, Carlos Boozer, Trevor Ariza and a few others.
Appearing alongside the NBA players will be hip-hop stars Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Trina, Soulja Boy, Birdman, The Game, T-Pain, Bun B and Twista.
It will be interesting to see which players and rappers hook up together on songs. It has already been confirmed through video that Howard will feature South Beach rappers Trina and Rick Ross on a song titled “It’s Time To Ball”. Another rumored collaboration will be Big Baby rapping with Soulja Boy, which will be the definition of entertainment.
Since the group is promoting a good cause in inspiring young teens through music, the album will not include any profane language or subjects.
I’m not big on ball players stepping into the studio, but if it’s for a good cause, then I’ll be sure to take a listen when the album is released.

Soulja Boy Takes a Swing at Fashion.

Soulja Boy has been busy and we’ve got the latest tea on his venture into Fashion. Sip on this…

Soulja Boy recently did a men’s fashion spread for FAULT magazine and I’m impressed with the styling of the shoot. In the feature he shows a much more dapper side to his swag contrasting the baggy airbrushed tall tees we first got accustomed to seeing him wear.  Kudos to the kissing buttons detail on his jacket sleeve above.

Soulja Boy has two clothing lines now, S.O.D.M.G and Ocean Gang Clothing. I really like the direction he’s going with OCG, I can see that line doing very well. It features casual streetwear that alot of people can come to appreciate. Aside from running his own record company, Stacks on Deck Entertainment, during the interview he also mentions his involvement with feature films Officer Down and a biopic on Tupac Shakur expected this Winter.

Kottonmouth Kings Mile High.


With "Mile High," Kottonmouth Kings show they are sticking to what's expected with enthusiasm, even if it isn't executed exceptionally well.
Kottonmouth Kings have always been energetic. It's that enthusiastic element that has become infectious for their dedicated supporters. Their long run (15 years) in the music industry is a testament to their ability to hone in on their fan base’s love for their contagious hooks and rhymes over aggressive instrumentals. Their latest, Mile High, is no different, in that it maintains that enthusiasm and continues to pound. While that will be a healthy dose of KMK for devotees, it may also be a drawback for those wanting more from the group.
Lyrically, you get what you might expect. Still, it’s difficult not to knock the redundancy in topical choice. Their main theme, marijuana, is front and center almost always, to the point of monotony. Also, it’s difficult not to knock the simplicity of their lyrics, even if they’re not about weed (sample: “Uno, dos, forget about tres / This is all a big set up / Catch up to this pace”). The flows remain animated but one can’t disregard the cringe factor of rhymes like, “You got beef, son? I’m a vegetarian/ It’s a dog’s life. See a veterinarian” or “I ain’t Soulja Boy/ But I’m a soldier, boy/ And when the truth comes out / I’ma say ‘I told ya, boy’.” The rhymes may be bland compared to their delivery and fervor but it’s not easy to overlook such underwhelming lyrics.
The Kottonmouth Kings have traditionally made their name through a potent sound. This album packs that punch. “Pound for Pound” offers a heavy hitter with haunting bell tolls and piano keys. “Hold It In” brings forth some Dubstep kicks and “Get Out the Way” ensures the Punk sound is still alive in the KMK discography (it also blends in more Dubstep here). Some will enjoy the diversity of hard-hitting efforts while others may see a lack of cohesion.
Still, for longtime supporters, none of the negatives listed here will be a deterrent. The aggressive instrumentals are going to be welcome and the lyrics, though one-dimensional much of the time, will not be knocked much. After all, it should be expected here. The group’s name is Kottonmouth Kings. The album title is Mile-High. It’s even written in some of the song titles (i.e. “Roll Us a Joint,” “Green Dreams (Mile High),” and “High Haters”). How can one not expect that? Still, just because it’s expected doesn’t mean it’s excellent. With Mile-High, KMK show they are sticking to what’s expected with enthusiasm, even if it isn’t executed exceptionally well.

Soulja Boy to SpaceGhostPurrp "We Gone Eat Yo Face," Thows Bath Salts on A$AP Beef.


Gasping to regain relevancy in a post-"Pretty Boy Swag" rap game, Soulja Boy has inserted himself into theA$AP Rocky vs. SpaceGhostPurrp Twitter beef. 

Though Rocky and The Ghost used to be buddies, collaborating on tracks and rhymes, shit's gone bad. About 14 days ago, someone from A$AP's crew allegedly jumped local hero SGP's homie. 

The digital feud quickly escalated to the point of hilarity. And then, suddenly, Soulja Boy threatened to eat SGP's face and threw a bunch of bath salts on this beef. Check the breakdown and peep the tweets after the cut. 

It all started a couple weeks ago when A$AP Twelvyy and some others jumped SGP's boy Matt Stoops, triggering a nearly non-stop stream of angry tweets from the Miami up-and-comer. 




A$AP responded by trying to calm things down, but his Caps Lock button was stuck. 





Then the party moved to YouTube where SGP and the Raider Klan let loose about how A$AP is a fake bitch who stole a bunch of rhymes and beats from them, and how he wouldn't even know anything about Southern rap without them.

Soulja Boy Threatens SpaceGhostPurrp: “We Gon’ Eat Yo Face”


SpaceGhostPurrp has been getting in the middle of a lot of drama lately. After indulging in beef with A$AP Rocky recently, last night (July 4) the rapper/producer found himself in hot water with Soulja Boy, who apparently has sided with A$AP Rocky in the reported feud.  Not only did Soulja take Rocky’s side, but he also issued a menacing threat to SGP via Twitter, as he threatened to eat the latter’s face off.
“Only reason I gave @SGhostPurrp a pass was because ASAP Rocky. now that rocky doesn’t fuck with you. We gon eat yo face nigga. Bath salts,” tweeted Soulja from his @SouljaBoy account. After marring the rising artist/producer’s name with “Space Ghost P-ssy,” SB wasn’t finished with the cold Twitter threats, later tweeting “I swear to God on my mama, I want yo face nigga. We gon eat that shit. bath salts. pussy. @SGhostPurrp.”
Surprised by the direct shot, SpaceGhostPurrp replied, “Starting twitter beef aint g bruh you know where miami @” and went further to tweet “I’m off this shit niggas is out they mind if they think ima twitter beef with a crank rapper goddesses be safe yo love yall ass.”
Though it’s not clear why exactly Soulja Boy jumped into the feud, the war of words comes after SB tweeted a photo of him and A$AP Rocky together during the 2012 BET Awards. After he tweeted the photo, Soulja immediately began firing direct tweets at SGP.
As of press time, there’s no exact word on the origins of the beef between A$AP and SpaceGhostPurrp.

Soulja Boy Talks About Crying At BET Awards.


There was an abundance of ratchetness at the BET Awards. One moment that looked ratchet, but truly wasn’t was when Soulja Boy was caught on camera crying during Whitney Houston‘s tribute.
Soulja Boy explained that the reason he was crying had more to do with the fact he was watching a mother perform a tribute to her late daughter than anything else. Soulja Boy spoke toXXL about his emotional outburst, “Yeah man. When I was standing there and they started to do the tribute, I started to think about Whitney Houston. When her mother came onstage, I thought about how a mother was singing about her daughter that was no longer here. A daughter that had died.”
The Whitney Houston tribute began to stir up memories of his brother who died recently. “That’s really tough. Then I started thinking about my younger brother that recently passed. I got his name tatted on my arm. [His passing] feels like it happened yesterday. So those things are hard to watch.”
Soulja Boy, we will refrain from the crying slander because of the trails you’ve gone through. However, you will not be let off the hook for those dirty ass nails. No excuses. You were going to an awards show. Act accordingly.

Kitty Pryde & Riff Raff – Orion’s Belt Video.


Things move awfully fast these days, especially when it comes to music and the internet, and if you blink you might miss something awesome.  Case in point, Riff Raff’s rise to internet superstardom.  Sure, it’s not really a “new” thing to get famous via Youtube (Justin Bieber, Odd Future, hellloooo?), but Riff Raff has a certain swagger that cannot be denied.  He’s wacky and wild, he’s funny, he’s downright entertaining!  You might recognize him from the MTV series From G’s To Gents, or Worldstar Hip Hop, where he has been posting videos since 2005.  After his stint on the reality competition, he continued to grow his army of fans, boasting hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, and nearly 180,000 Twitter followers.  Riff Raff was previously affiliated with Soulja Boy, the “original viral rap superstar’s label SODMG.  Last month, Riff Raff announced he would be signing a three million dollar record deal with Diplo’s Mad Decent Records.  Yesterday, Soulja Boy threw an EPIC FIT, which I could write an ENTIRE blog about, but instead I’ll just link you to the stories.  (For the lazy: Riff Raff got sick of being on Soulja Boy’s back-burner, realized he never actually signed to SODMG, realized that Diplo is a much better option, and went over to Mad Decent, commence Soulja Boy’s new dance: The Butthurt Shuffle*.)
Riff Raff has been KILLING IT with his music videos (Check out Time, Jose Conseco, and Riff Raff’s group Three Loco (fyt. Dirt nasty and Andy Milonakis)- NEATO) and will be dropping a full length album on Mad Decent in January 2013.
Kitty Pryde: same story, different gender.  Tumblr-famous teen Kitty Pryde first got the official co-sign from VICE last month in the article Kitty Pryde is Our New Favorite Tumblr-Wave Rapper.  I’d be full of sh*t if I didn’t admit her music is fun, and as VICE put it, “she’s a much sharper, self-aware, suburban high school version of Kreayshawn.”  Her video for Okay Cupid, posted on her tumblr (where else?) caused a momentary melt-down on the social media site.  Truly the Rap Game Taylor Swift.  Kitty mentioned Riff Raff in her song Justin Bieber, and a week later he was flying down to to Daytona Beach to shoot a video for a song they recorded that the weekend.  VICE footed the bill, and placed the video on Noisy, their music channel.
Here what Noisy had to say about Orion’s Belt:
“Music is all about bringing people together—especially when those people are capable of virtually crashing internet servers with the snap of a Twitpic. Noisey teamed up with Kitty ‘Rap Game Taylor Swift’ Pryde and Riff ‘Rap Game James Franco’ Raff in Daytona Beach for ‘Orion’s Belt,’ the new cut off of Kitty Pryde’s recent acclaimed EP, Haha, I’m Sorry. Cavorting around a beachside carnival, the dynamic duo gets into some (surprisingly) good, clean fun in a video that will inevitably be referred to as ‘Rap Game That-Last-Scene-In-Grease’.”

V EXCLUSIVE! RIFF RAFF TELLS ALL ABOUT HIS FALL OUT WITH SOULJA BOY AND SODMG.


Twitter can put a rapper's business into the public eye in a matter of seconds. These days hip-hop cats are more likely to fire off at each other on social media over private meetings. Look what happened between Soulja Boy and Riff Raff in the last 24 hours. The two wild boys seemed to be on good terms over the past year. They've recorded songs and videos together and the former G's to Gents contestant repped SODMG pretty damn hard (pause). It wasn't until Raff went public about his new record deal with lowkey-producer-turned-household-name Diplo that Soulja Boy began a series of Twitter disses against his former "artist." We were shocked to see this very public fall out occur. Late last night, after a photo shoot, we hopped on the phone with Maddecent's newest signee for the full story.
.
VIBE: Obviously, the world Twitter world went crazy yesterday when they saw you and Soulja Boy going at it. What happened, bro?

Riff Raff: Well actually, I thought everything was cool because like it's been three, four months since Diplo hit me up and we were talking about [collaborations and a signing], and today it was just revealed that we sealed the deal. I haven't been putting SODMG with my name in the past five months. I took it off my Twitter and my YouTube, stuff like that, but me and Soulja Boy would still randomly talk to on the phone, or whatever. I was just in Vegas, and everything was cool, and I was 'Hey, I'm doing this stuff with Diplo, but I could still do shit with you too,' so you know everything was supposed to be still cool. So that was just was at the Electric Daisy Festival, and we were talking and we were supposed to meet, and he said to come through, we can knock something out, work on some videos, all this shit.

So I called him and he's not answering. My manager and my other man, who's done multiple videos for him, said 'Hey Soulja Boy unfollowed you on Twitter.' And I was like 'Nah, I just spoke to him, everything is cool. Everything is cool.' And then I hadn't heard anything from him [for the rest of the day]. So all of a sudden today I get a phone call from my people at FUSE TV asking me about this whole Soulja Boy thing and they're telling me that he's putting me on blast on Twitter, and I'm like 'No way.' So I go on there to check, and I'm like 'Okay...let me see where this is going, because the last time I talked to you...everything was cool.' You weren't upset about the Diplo situation. Everything was fine. So I started thinking, maybe someone said something and pissed him off or somebody hacked his account, whatever!
There were multiple, multiple things, slandering me, saying I'm a coke head, and I'm like 'This is some animosity. What's he so angry about?' He didn't even get that mad when Lil' B had stopped--when Lil' B had stopped pushing SODMG and he didn't even get mad about that, so I'm thinking he's playing a game now, and he's treating me like I ain't fully in the game yet. There was a lack of promotion with Soulja Boy [involving certain projects with him], and that's just like with anything, if you have a job or anything, if somebody's not treating you properly, whether you in a relationship, or anywhere in life, if they're not treating you right, you gonna go find it somewhere else, or go with your other options where there is more money, it's as simple as that. And I understand that, so I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, but he was coming at him with animosity, I'm like 'Damn! Soulja Boy, why you mad at me?' You never did anything to me, I never did anything to you, but I would never expose you not doing anything for me, but now that you're saying [all this online, now] I will say something like 'Yeah, you right!' You gonna tell people that you never did anything for me? You damn right! [Soulja] never did anything for me. Like how would you feel if an MVP franchise type player ended up on your "label?" You can only judge how good you're going get treated by how that person has treated other people or their main player, especially by the main player. That'll be like LeBron James going around in big labels, with Versace on everyday, driving around in big cars, getting picked up in helicopters, that makes you go, "Damn! I wanna be on that team! They're popular over there!"
So if he's saying that I'm this and I'm that, I didn't do this, he was never in SODMG, and I'm claiming him--I haven't been claiming you or SODMG for the last three to four months, so what are you talking about? So I was like fuck it because I don't want to be promoting somebody who's bad-mouthing me. I dropped multiple videos. I dropped so many videos. I would drop a video, and he [would act like he didn't even care]. On that episode--my manager shot it for me--that episode where he was giving me the chain, I mean even Tyler, the Creator] was in there--he didn't even include my name as a link on the YouTube.
Why did Soulja Boy say that the chain was fake? That part I didn't get because we all saw in the video that he gave it to you, and today he was saying it was fake...
Exactly. On his YouTube page, he has erased every last video that had me in it.

That's crazy. So Riff Raff, is there honestly something that happened to cause him to flip out?

The video that had me, him and Tyler, which he gave me the chain, had like close to 2 million plays, and he erased that video and my name wasn't even on the title, he didn't put my name in the title. I have no idea. He wasn't doing anything for me, he wasn't helping me. He would randomly tweet me, and sometimes he would tweet me to get on the phone to deal with shit, but then he would...

My manager did plenty of videos for him and those were my people [helping him out], and then he wants to go and unfollow me and him on Twitter. I can't read this dude's mind. I'm not going to talk down or slander him even though he did that to me, but that's fine, I don't care. All care about is how [I'm doing] in my world. With the Diplo situation, that did it for me. I'm not hurting anybody. If he wants to say I didn't help him, that's cool, fine.
How did you initially meet Soulja Boy and get down with SODMG?

I've always been a fan of his, and shit like that, from way back, I've always liked his music. It's cool if he's mad, I don't care, but we linked up through Twitter and I think it was a couple of years ago, and then we was just like...I don't know...we just exchanged Twitters back and forth and then one day, we followed back and forth, and it was like--and I was still new to this shit--'Yeah, what's up with SODMG, [I want to be in it]", and he was like "Cool". And you can see it in that video where he's like 'And here's the newest, welcome my newest artist'

Yeah! Soulja Boy made it seem like you guys met in real life! Were you guys actually hanging out in real life at that point?

At the very, very beginning, no, I was in Baltimore, but when I came to California, I think it was actually January 1 of this year, and we actually started kicking it, but we ever really super hung out, but we recorded a few songs, and that Versace song.

Was Soulja Boy somebody you considered your friend, or was it more so just business?

Well, I was always a low-key [acquaintance, I guess,] because people would always--like I said, you gotta look at other people's situations with them, is anybody else running around with them signing deals? Is anybody else shining? But I'm not the type of person to say that somebody owe me something. I'm the type of person that with my experiences, you keep promoting me; I'll keep promoting you, pushing you. I could make the money on my own. So our friendship never got into a...I mean I don't want to speak for anybody else's relationship, but he never did anything for me. If he felt like he did something for me, then fine, whatever, thank you, whatever it is you did, that's cool. I'm not going to say this, I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to bring up his personal, or false information, talking about doing cocaine and stuff. That's his problem if he wants to take it there. I'm not tripping. We never got into a full friendship like that. I was around him. But I'm just that kind of person; I'm like that with everybody. Whatever. It's all good.

So all those times you were with him, the vibe was cool? There didn't seem to be any animosity. You guys would smoke, hang out, record music together, it was a cool vibe at least?
Yeah no, like there was never no animosity. Like I said, a few days ago we had just spoke about it, at midnight, in Vegas at Daisy, we had a meeting, him, me and Max, and said everything was cool. And I was like, "You know I could still push you and push SODMG, but I'm over here doing this thing with Diplo because that's what's making the money, but I could still bump with you too, like I'm not tripping". The fact that he's burning bridges...I'm not mad about it, because at the end of the day, it is all business.

It was just so shocking to see him so pissed off. 

I have no idea. Because when Lil' B stopping pushing SODMG and stopped promoting them, and I haven't seen him do anything with SODMG in the last four months, so for him to bring that up today? He's bringing that upon himself. I sometimes had [more views online] than him.

Vinny Cha$e on Cheers, Entourage, & Marc Jacobs.


I see you were shooting and directing behind the scenes of the music industry from 2004-2008. Who are some of the artists you worked with and are you still directing videos today?
-Most of the people I worked with were artists like Juelz Santana, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Franchize Boys (when they were doing their thing in the South), a bunch of people. I was also on the ‘Up Close and Personal’ tour doing a lot of behind the scenes, documentaries, stuff like that. Now I still do directing. I direct some of my own videos, material for Soulja Boy; I haven’t stopped directing since I started rapping.
What made you switch from camera man to rapper?

-I mean it really didn’t, it was just the influence of my friends. Them telling me it’s possible, I really didn’t think it was something that I can learn to do, but I was obviously wrong. Just seeing people like Lil B and Wiz who rap and just have so much fun with it, after a while it was clear to me that it was something that I can actually do. 

So you just did a mix tape with Soulja Boy. How was that for you and how did it come about?
-I mean it was pretty dope for me. That’s my homie, I’ve been messing with him since like last year, we did our first song and we’ve been friends after that. We always had a plan to do something together. So I flew out to LA to his penthouse and made the album in like five days, then went back to NYC to drop it. 

Who are you inspired by? With both music and fashion.

-I mean musically most of my inspirations are rappers from the past, there were no artists who just came out that inspired me in anyway. Rappers like Biggie, Jay-Z, Rakim, and Slick Rick  inspired me in a major way. Especially Slick Rick, I always liked the way he painted visuals with his story telling in his raps. I just feel like the 90’s had more taste, they actually cared about music more back then. Now with fashion, I’m inspired by actual designers. Like Marc Jacobs and people of that sort. I’ve actually been watching Marc for a long time, before I was doing music or even designing. 

So speaking of Marc Jacobs. How did you get Marc to be featured in your ‘Urban Outfitters’ video?
-I mean I know him along with some other top designers, I don’t want to have to name drop but I’m in the game. So I know a few people when it comes to fashion like Dee & Ricky, Jeremy Scott, etc. They’ve been apart of me since like my early career, supported me before I was even anything. So I’m always appreciative for that. 

On HBO’s show ‘Entourage’ the lead character’s name is “Vinnie Chase”. Is there any connection there?

- I mean obviously but it’s not like I’m running around trying to be a character. I just felt like I came out of an entourage, since i was with the Dipset entourage, and I was like damn how can I get out of here to make my own lane. So I felt like I related to the name in a way where I can come into the game through a perfect angle. I am a fan of the show, but once again I’m not basing my career on the actual character. You’ll never hear me mention anything from the show in my raps EVER, I tried to draw that line early, I mean I didn’t want people to think I was rapping about Turtle.

How often do you get chased? Did you get chased last night after the SOB’s performance?
-Yeah man it was crazy like just getting into the venue was hard. So many people were trying to walk in with me. Towards the ending I actually just stayed until everything was all over but they still caught me. When I was trying to leave they were all trying to catch me before I got in the cab, it was crazy. It was the first time I ever experienced something like that, I mean the line was down the block, the support was crazy so I appreciated the love. 

What’s the concept behind your group ‘Cheers Club’? When did you create the group, and who’s down?

-I mean we created it as a self contained house, it’s my director Kid Art, my man Cartier Court, and myself. It’s a group that we founded last year, it’s a design house, fashion house, film house. Everything is done in house, we use beats from outsiders occasionally but with everything else, it’s done in house. #CHEERS.

Lastly, I see you have the same four finger ring 2Chainz happened to get locked up for. Have you ran into any problems for the ring yet?

-I definitely got into problems because of that, my lawyer almost got arrested. I flew into LA with him everything was good I went out to Dope Couture, did some designs for some hats that are coming out. And the funny thing is the owner of Dope Couture told me that 2Chainz actually got locked up for the ring so I knew that I couldn’t slide back with it. So I gave it to my lawyer and told him to mail it to me, but he forgot to mail it and actually forgot to take it out his bag as well. So they took it from him at the airport and almost locked him up, if he wasn’t a lawyer he probably would’ve went to jail.

Listen Up: "S.A.S.A.R.A.F." By Lil Wayne.


"all I do is skate and smoke and f*ck and rap...and let me see you kickflip, kickflip, kickflip, kickflip, kickflip..."

...the previous line should serve a proper purpose to explain the quality of Wayne's recently released single "S.A.S.A.R.A.F." from DJ Stevie J’s The Appreciation Vol 4--it's painful, and not in that Lil B way, but more so in that Ying Yang Twins meets Soulja Boy way. I really don't even know how the f*ck this could have happened. Weezy has made some piss-poor songs, but the exquisite failure of this track is almost an anomaly. 

Anyway, here's "S.A.S.A.R.A.F.," give it a listen, throw up your thoughts. If this is what we can expect, then I wouldn't bother messing with DJ Stevie J's upcoming tape.

In case you missed it, Weezy made better of himself dissing Pusha T, so check out "Goulish" if you need something to stop the syncopation "S.A.S.A.R.A.F." caused.

Britain’s Got Talent semi final 1: Little Lauren Thalia is off the scale with version of Soulja Boy’s Turn My Swag On.


Singer and guitarist Lauren Thalia had “so much fun” as she took to the stage live in front of the nation.
It is hard to believe that the little lady from Hampshire is only 12 years old.
Lauren, who blew the judges away at her audition with a rip-roaring version of Soulja Boy’s Turn My Swag On, looked at ease on stage as she performedEarthquake by Labrinth ft. Tinie Tempah.
Armed with her guitar, the pint sized princess stood on a Perspex box for the acoustic routine.
Simon said: “What I love about you is that you’re singing a song you love, you’re fearless and very very cool.
“I also love that you’d rather be playing music and making money instead of doing your school work.”
The tween knows that her song choices aren’t what other girls her age are listening to.
She said: “My style of music is so different. I like to sing and perform songs that no one would expect to come out of a 12 year olds mouth!”
David Walliams loved the 12-year-old’s trendy Topshop leggings and called her a “star of tomorrow.”
Although Alesha said Lauren’s performance “wasn’t perfect” she praised the singer’s “organic talent, with Amanda calling her “brave.”
Ahead of the show, the singer seemed to have no nerves – just excitement.
Lauren said: “I’m really looking forward to the live semi-final shows and I’m more excited than nervous about performing again in front of the judges, the audience and the viewers watching at home - fingers crossed they’ll like me!
“None of the judges scare me because they’re honest, so I have to make sure I put on a really good performance.”

How Soulja Boy spent 4/20 Day.


So you probably already know ya boy Soulja was all over TMZ.com last week after tweeting this pic posed up with a closet full of that greeny-green-green.
His publicist later said he was at a marijuana dispensary in Cali owned by a friend of his. Talk about having friends in high places. Sooo, apparently Soulja Boy was so inspired by the weed — and his uncanny ability to manipulate the gossip blogs into keeping him relevant without actually doing anything newsworthy — that he recorded this "Happy 4/20" song to commemorate his minor triumph.

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: SOULJA BOY – DMT

Less than 72 hours after dropping his last free track, Soulja returns to headlines with “DMT.” Packing a piano and drum laced beat that would fit anyone on Cash Money pretty perfect, “DMT” finds Soulja going in about his life, his ladies, and his skill. Not the best bars he’s dropped, but definitely one of the better beats to surface this year, you can stream, download, and enjoy “DMT” after the jump. Soulja Boy likes to keep his fans’ hunger for new music satiated, so expect more mp3s in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
