My brother brought over a copy of Soulja Boy Tell'em a few weeks ago and for some wierd reason I decided to listen to it today. I was looking for something a little different from my normal listening experience. Boy, did I find it. I remember his lead single being mildly catchy and watching somebody do the dance on a rewards show. (Somebody who wouldn't normally be caught doing it and it was funny). So I though he might have a little more to offer.
This is literally one of the most pointless albums I have ever heard. Every song conists of pretty much the same type of beat that clicks and whirrs in a generic way over and over. His rap and tone never changes and he might as well be saying "banana-nana-fo fana". Scarily, after expending his creative energy on "Crank Dat" he didn't have anything more to say. His second song literally consists of a few badly excuted verses and the chorus is him repeating "Sidekicks". Oh I forgot. After the first million times he adds in "hit me up" in between. At least the kid has heard of syncopation. This song is almost as bad as drips from a faucet.
"Snap and Roll" is a carbon copy of his first hit. He even mentions superman. Basically interchange the titles, make up another half-
*ss dance and a screeching, badly synthesized electric guitar and you have this song. I wish you could see me shaking my head in shock at how this kid got a record deal. Also, I have no idea what he is talking about in "Bapes". I have a feeling after reading the lyrics it might be about shoes but the question is why we care about his "bathin' apes"? Especially when its set to a track that makes anything by the Fat Boys seem modern. He stutters and repeats and it just makes my ears hurt.
Seriously, I don't think there is a single song I've heard by the time I get to the assanine "Donk" that hasn't repeated something at least three times. It's like he's a mentally challenged, crunked out Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Literally, "Donk" is a bunch of lines repeated on top of each other and ends up being a traffic jam of idiocy. I literally would off myself if I had to hear this too many times.
Basically, every song on this album sucks. Any album that has a song asking some of the fairer sex to shake their "booty meat" makes me want to lose my lunch. Especially when its repeated twenty million times to this generic, casio created beat. This sh*t is wack.
Anyway, I never thought there would be a rapper that would make me crave a Chingy CD. This album is the worst album I have heard in a long time. There is no rhythm, no rhyme, no talent involved in this project whatsoever. A four year old with reallly bad parents could have made this album. The music is horrible, the lyrics are beyond stupid and he just pulls down the whole genre.
So when he say's "crank that" take his advice. Crank that window and toss this crappy CD out.
