Is Soulja Boy The Next 50 Cent?
At the age of 17 rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em' was discoverd by major music mogal Mr. Colipark and signed a 1 Million dollar Record Deal with Mr. Colipark & Interscope in 2007. Soulja Boy has also sold over 1 Million copies of his 2006 debut album SouljaBoyTellem.com spawning 4 hit singles including the monster single of 2007 "Crank That" which spent seven weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 has also been certified 5x Platinum, after the success of "Crank That", Soulja Boy followed up with other major hits such as "Soulja Girl","YAHHH",and "Donk". At the end of 2007 Soulja Boy had grossed over 7 Million.
In addition to major Billboard and Soundsacn sucess, Soulja Boy has inked many business deals producing hits for other artist, clothing line, shoe line (with Yums), movie deals, video games (with Microsoft XBox), cartoons, websites, and a reality show with MTV. Soulja Boy also is the CEO of his own record label Stacks On Deck Entertainment, and plans to launch the career of long time friend Arab and JBar as solo artist and part of his three man group S.O.D Money Gang. Soulja Boy has also signed the popular Atlanta Group Show Stoppas to his label.
After receiving critical backlash from not using lyrics in his music in 2008 Soulja Boy began string up controversy with Hip Hop Ledgend Ice-T, former DJ Southernbred and former personal assistant and long time friend Q, Soulja Boy began work on his second album iSouljaBoyTellem introducing the first single "Bird Walk". Will Soulja Boy live up to the success of his debut or will he fail. All Eyes on Soulja Boy, this reminds me of 2005 all over again. Is Soulja Boy the next 50 Cent? Okay maybe not so much on the lyrical content nor the gangster past but as far as income and popularity, only time will tell.

P.S. I knew after writing this blog i would instantly be receiving some hate responses from most people, but please note that this is only a thought in which i am entitled to, so please re-frame from trying to start internet BEEF and please only INTELLECTUAL responses. Thank You!
