Nappy Afro states that Soulja Boy is the King of Atlanta, which is something that I think everyone sort of thinks to themselves but few are bold enough to go to the rooftops to proclaim it. Except for Soulja Boy himself. In any event it took me 5 tries to actually get to the Nappy Afro article because Soulja Boy went onto Twitter and put it on blast and their servers kept kicking me off but I finally got to it. What is their rationale; well first off they said that since T.I. was on hiatus it was only fitting to give Soulja Boy the crown.
Now I have to beg to disagree there; Soulja Boy is still on his grassroots marketing campaign from the days when he was on Soundclick putting his stuff out there for free, whereas T.I. is well spoken for and can get a reality show on MTV to tell us not about his actual work, but good deeds he is doing with youngsters in trouble. T.I. is an established and mature artist, and isn't hiding behind his beats, whereas Soulja Boy's rhetoric is masked in layers of sugary ear candy. I have more respect for Jeezy than I do Soulja Boy, because at least you get some wordplay with Jeezy; I just can't ever see anyone taking Soulja Boy seriously as a lyricist any time soon.
This is the same website that said that T.I., along with Jeezy, were Kings of Atlanta back in February. They really need to make up their minds. In fact on that list were Andre 3000 and Big Boi (okay arguably they probably should have left Big Boi off of the list) and Ludacris. Everyone else on the list was a Knight (Soulja Boy) or a Pawn (Unk, Stat Quo). So how did Soulja Boy get to be a King, was it because of his marketing skills, half of which the assistance comes from haters like myself that respect his hustle but do not respect his talent, at the time many of the commenters were dismayed that Soulja Boy was even on the list as a Knight.
Soulja Boy is not addicted to auto tune, he hasn't as much as took a whiff or went anywhere near that technology, and you have to respect him for that when so many other artists can't seem to live without it. Man I still think that Roger Troutman is turning over in his grave right now. Jay-Z obviously has a problem with it, but in making a song that essentially disses its most ardent supporters the irony of his arrogance against enthusiasts could easily be lost. I mean Jay-Z has signed Kanye who put out an entire record of auto tune enhanced vocals that is arguably the most creative use of the technology since T-Pain breathed new life into it. Whatever happened to Jay-Z doing what he does best without caring so much about what other people are doing? Perhaps he is still as uninspired as he was when he was talking about the money going and the girl leaving him. I still love the beat to that song though.
Atlanta had a very interesting underground scene in the eighties but these days we are entirely too infatuated with their sugary beats and their creative marketing tactics. The city is being viewed through the lens of being a place where anyone can walk in with a dance song and a nice hook and walk away a millionaire. Jeezy talks about the trap, but then tries to get deep and spin hyperbole about the economy when people still want to have a good time. I don't need him to tell me how crazy of a world it is out there. I don't want a vacation either, I want a job that pays enough in that I can actually build up my savings account for a change. I guess the fact that he feels that he needs one is hope for those out there on the streets ...
