Soulja Boy iSouljaBoyTellem Album Review
My first impression of the CD was the title sounds looks like a second grade students first attempt at constructing a sentence. Pretty crappy title. Nevertheless, CD’s should be judged on their content. So here is Soulja Boy’s second albums’ review.
18-year-old ring-tone rapper DeAndre Ramone Way is a divisive force in hip hop. The artist who goes by the nom de guerre Soulja Boy has sold more than three million records but also attracts a battalion of scorn.
In April, outside a concert in Illinois, someone threw a rock threw Soulja Boy’s tour bus window. In custody, the 12-year-old aggressor said, “I hate Soulja Boy.” And this was before the rapper gave a shout-out in November to the “slave masters” for bringing Africans to America for all “this ice and tattoos.”

His latest release should further polarize the rap world. On his second album, the Southerner of Crank Dat (Soulja Boy) fame rehashes the simple beats, chanted choruses and simple drums that made him rap’s first MySpace superstar.
Music fans over 11, however, should steer far clear of Soulja Boy’s tour bus when rocks are around.
Bird Walk is the lead single. Built on a xylophone loop, it’s a syncopated dance track that repeats the phrase, “Watch me hit my Bird Walk!” over spare steel drums and a thin cymbal crash. It’s stale and cloying; what sounded novel onCrank Dat is hollow here. And the fact the single peaked at No. 19 on Billboard, may prove Soulja Boy to be a one-hit-wonder, something Snoop Dogg, Ice-T and Method Man have all claimed.
