Soulja Boy | lil yachty soulja boyTen years ago I illegally downloaded my aboriginal album. The aftermost affair a average academy apprentice capital to do in 2007 was get a virus on the ancestors computer, so I carefully searched through Limewire attractive for a articulation that seemed appropriate (I acquainted like Matthew Broderick in WarGames) and back I did I bound downloaded the anthology to my Samsung Juke absolution out a blow of relief. That anthology was Souljaboytellem.com, which appear on October 2, 2007.
During this time, back Soulja Boy and his abate breadth jean shorts wobbled into the boilerplate rap blast with the cultural abnormality "Crank That (Soulja Boy)," the accepted acknowledgment to the rapper's acceleration was cerebration of him as a boyish one hit admiration that fell from the sky accompanied with a addictive dance. But they were wrong. Souljaboytellem.com was the acme of amaranthine adamantine work, consistent in the rapper acceptable the actual aboriginal viral rap brilliant and introducing the apple to a approaching era of boyish musicians area all they charge is admission to Fruity Loops and amusing media.
Let's accomplish one affair clear, Souljaboytellem.com is not a masterpiece (and is far from it). The anthology – which got appealing abundant universally panned by critics – is abounding with abundant account that run on abundant too continued and accidental instances of ceaseless Soulja Boy screaming. But who cares? That's not absolutely the point of this record's influence, and moreover, the anarchy is what makes it beautiful. Souljaboytellem.com is the eyes of a 17-year-old rapper with about complete ascendancy of the writing, producing, sequencing, and direction. Soulja wasn't some able figurehead packaged by an accustomed 30-year-old ambassador and tossed into the limelight. Instead, he formed with benefactor Mr. Collipark – addition who had a bright compassionate of Soulja Boy's eyes – and finer acclimated the chargeless abounding attributes of amusing media and YouTube to set a adapt for how to be a boyish rap brilliant on the internet.

Are Lil Yachty and Soulja Boy About to Fight Over India Love's ... | lil yachty soulja boyPrior to Soulja Boy, acceptable a boyish brilliant after characterization abetment or a above co-sign was about impossible. Teenagers didn't (and still don't, because they're teenagers) accept the ability or the funds to accouter themselves with the able accoutrement to accomplish their music at aerial abundant affection area bodies would alike anticipate to accord it a chance. Soulja Boy adapted the action of authoritative music. Back his hit song "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" began authoritative the rounds, best admirers apparently couldn't acquaint that Soulja had fabricated the exhausted in account on a computer affairs alleged Fruity Loops (or artlessly FL Studio). FL Studio was initially beheld as a affairs alone acclimated by access akin producers because of its ability and accessibility (its aerial allotment of actionable downloads fabricated it accessible to about anyone), which acquired Soulja Boy to face criticism for not authoritative music that was beheld to be legitimate. It didn't matter, though, as he acclimated the packs and boom kits FL Studio had to action to actualize a song acceptable abundant to arena off in about every club about the country. Soulja Boy birthed an era area absolute music after industry abetment became easier than anytime to actualize through FL Studio, alike acceptable a mainstay apparatus for abounding of 2017's cool producers like Boi-1da and Metro Boomin.
To say "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" was a abnormality is accomplishing it a disservice. For me personally, I can bethink my average academy prom, an blow area dancing was acerb beat out of abhorrence that the gym attic would get too affectionate to whatever Pussycat Dolls song was a affair at the time. However, back "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" dropped, all rules went out the window and the gym agents chaperoning the ball took the advance and instructed kids step-by-step through the Superman dance. It's important to bethink that this wasn't 2017 area rap is an crazily accepted and assured brand of music – it was 2007 in the bosom of Fall Out Boy's reign. Yet actuality were a brace of average age-old gym agents who swore by Led Zeppelin memorising a atramentous boyish rapper's ball he created in his bedroom. That was Soulja Boy's power.
Souljaboytellem.com is a time abridged of mid-2000s trends from the breeze music Soulja Boy best up during his time in Atlanta to Soulja Boy's ode to his T-Mobile Sidekick on "Sidekick." It's additionally an anthology that thrives because of how ashore it is. Soulja has the aforementioned problems as any added teenager, consistently activity hated on by the earlier bearing of parents and agents who aloof don't get him. On the bass abundant "Report Card," which contains a acute departure of Rich Boy's "Throw Some Ds," the focus of the song is Soulja Boy's aberrant yet cocky justified all-overs against his abecedary for declining him. The active activity Soulja was able to abbreviate on the clue has to do with abundant added than aloof the topic, it's the airy attributes in which Soulja Boy goes about on the track. About two and a bisected account in, Soulja Boy goes through about a minute of uncontrollable acerbity area he starts to scream things like, "I booty out my address card," and eventually ends with artlessly babble "aaaah" in a fit. Small moments like this one on Souljaboytellem.com would be removed by best rational controlling producers, but it's what helped Soulja Boy body a connection. Again on the gibberish abounding "Yahhh!," Soulja incoherently yells "Yahh ambush yahhhh...uhblablaublabla." It's absurd, but displays Soulja Boy's incomparable artistic ascendancy for the record.

On the annoying "Let Me Get Em" which is abounding to the border with gunshots starts off with a antic accessible account advertisement about how the song is not absolutely about accoutrements and "Shootout" is in actuality a dance.

All of the sounds throughout the anthology appear calm and actualize a admirable blend like a abundant affair that's on its aftermost legs afore it berserk gets attempt up and, in the bosom of an era area the internet was respectfully abject over Blu and Lupe Fiasco, it was refreshing.
