I am no great fan of hip-hop music and culture, but I found this assessment of the "music" of Soulja Boy to be more or less right on the money. The article is a bit long, but I think it's worth reading.
Soulja Boy: In Loco Parentis
Frankly, it is unsettling to me that something that is so blatantly trashy has become so infectiously popular. Hip-hop blurs the line between what is and is not music, but I can say without a doubt that Soulja Boy's product is not music, because it is, in fact, just a product. Just something to think about.
