Was I not trying to tell everyone this for over a year?
Have I or have I not been the one who set up the 2007 Squad to spread the good word
of Soulja Boy back when people were still calling him irrelevant or a one hit wonder?
Ignore where the 2007 Squad thing actually came from, I was on this goddamn wave before
anyone else was making videos about my king.
BlackySpeakz?
BLAAACKYY!?
Shawn?
Shawn CEEE!?
Who even are those guys?
But yes, Soulja Boy has been snapping on everyone in January, and in this video we're gonna
be looking at all the other big rappers or singers
he has called out.
So let's put on our Gucci headbands, I don't actually own one so this beanie will have
to do, and let's look at everyone who King Soulja has cranked on in January 2019.
Tyga:
And this is where it all really started, unless you wanna count Soulja Boy's beef with the
California mudslide which stole his car from him.
So this all started when our king big Soulja, in the most memeable way, went on a rant about
how Tyga didn't have the biggest comeback of 2018 like so many people said, it was in
fact Soulja himself who had the biggest comeback.
This of course sparked numerous memes, multiple rappers poked fun at the rant with their own
versions of it, and most of all it started placing Soulja Boy back into being a hip hop
talking point.
Now, in all honesty I don't think it's hard to see that purely in terms of music
and streaming numbers, Tyga did have a way better comeback than Soulja in 2018, and it's
not even close, even if I think people did overstate Tyga's comeback.
However, on his Breakfast Club Interview, Soulja said that he was talking about his
comeback in terms of staying relevant after his numerous beefs, controversies and people
counting him out in 2016 and 2017.
Now even though Soulja is my favourite rapper of all time, I don't think making millions
off a copycat gaming console and getting slammed for it is the biggest comeback of 2018, because
that legit looked like it might destroy his reputation, but what do I know?
I mean Soulja is already having a better comeback in 2019 than he did last year, and it's
only January.
Regardless, Soulja also stated on the Breakfast Club that there's no real beef between him
and Tyga, he just doesn't believe him about the comeback stuff, and that he'd be down
for a collab in the future.
Nice ending to this one.
Kanye West:
Yet again, this was one that started on an Instagram rant from big Soulja.
He talked again about his video game console as if everyone loved it, and brought up the
fact that Kanye has never made a video game console, which I don't think has ever been
one of Ye's goals but alright.
He then said that he's the reason Kanye acts cocky because when Soulja was 16 years
old and blowing up, Kanye was standing outside his van and wanted to meet him... but Soulja
apparently didn't know who he was... in 2007... after Kanye had released a couple
huge albums and had 8 big radio singles.
And Soulja, being in the world of hip hop, was not aware of who Kanye West
was somehow.
Far be it from me to question the one true Cranker, but it's just weird to me that
anyone involved with hip hop wouldn't know who Kanye was by 07.
I was super familiar with who he was then and I was a 9 year old Scottish kid.
But apparently ever since that moment, Soulja put Kanye's ego in check and made him act
cocky from there on out.
Then on that legendary Breakfast Club Interview, Soulja would take it further, snapping on
Kanye for his twitter rants about Drake and his support of Donald Trump.
I think we can safely say that Soulja went a fair bit harder on Kanye than he did with
Tyga, despite claiming that again, there's no beef.
Drake:
Following the initial Kanye rant, Big Drako would then move on to little Drake-o as his
next target.
The main grievance Soulja would have was saying that Drake stole his flow for the song Miss
Me word for word, and also stated that he taught Drake everything he knows.
And yeah, in terms of Miss Me, the bars are almost exactly the same as Soulja's song
What's Hannenin.
I'm still laughing at the fact Charlemagne thought Soulja was saying lines from Kiss
Me Thru the Phone though But hey, is it really hard to believe that Soulja Boy might've
taught Drake a lot if we look at what Drake does nowadays?
He constantly attaches himself to trends, and whether you like his music or not, there
is a lot that rappers could learn from Soulja.
So when Drake was on the come up, it's not hard to believe that maybe he could've learned
a thing or two from Big Soulja, but obviously he didn't make Drake the artist he is today
by any means.
Also, Soulja Boy has made it clear before that he actually isn't bothered by Drake
using his flow, as he called Drake about it after hearing the song, they talked about
it and Soulja was cool with it.
I think Soulja is just having fun and calling out as many people as he can at the moment
to be honest, again this one doesn't seem too serious.
Ariana Grande:
And finally, we get to the most recent chapter in the bible of Soulja, and that is him calling
out Ariana Grande, again for a case of flow stealing.
I really never would've figured coming into this year that we would have Ariana Grande
accused of stealing a flow from our man Big Soulja.
But, it happened, and this all kicked off when Ariana dropped her song 7 Rings, and
Soulja accused Ariana of biting his flow from the song Pretty Boy
Swag Soulja went hard on twitter for this, quoting Ariana's tweets to call her out
3 times... unfortunately one of the ones he quoted was Ariana saying that she misses Mac
Miller on his birthday after he recently overdosed and passed away.
Yikes.
Now I wanna give Soulja the benefit of the doubt and say that he had no clue this tweet
was about Mac.
I think he's having fun with this whole thing and didn't intentionally mean to do
something that ignorant that could hurt someone like that.
Ariana does tweet like a 14 year old girl so maybe he thought this was just another
tweet about a random ex, it's very easy to assume that at first glance.
Now in terms of the whole flow thing, i hate to turn my back on the boss man again, but
that flow is kinda common so I wouldn't necessarily say Ariana is stealing from him.
It sounds like Princess Nokia's song Mine.
It sounds like the 2 Chainz song Spend It.
Flow stealing is always hard to pinpoint because artists always consciously or subconsciously
can take influence from any song that they listen to, so for Soulja to press this one
so hard and repeatedly call her a thief...
I don't know if I'm with him on this one
Unless of course we're all under the agreement that Soulja Boy invented the universe then
invented music in general in which case, stop stealing from lord Soulja.
So to close this video out, I just wanna say that this whole thing is pretty fun and I
don't think people should be getting legitimately angry over it.
If there's anyone that knows the power of social media and how it can help you grow,
it's Soulja Boy, he knows how to market himself.
That's how he got into the game, so it's clear that he's calling out as many artists
as he can, harnessing all his power from the Gucci headband, having fun with it, and bringing
his name back into the forefront of hip hop discussions.
Just look at how his twitter follower count spiked after all this stuff.
At least he's being funny while he's doing it, I can't get mad at that.
