XXLMag.com | Turn My Swag Off

"Cracker" media is enough to make a nigga...

“Hop back in the bed. Turn my swag off./
When I wake up I’mma roll another blunt./
Yeah. I’m gettin monayyy./”

If I were young DeAndre Way, I’d turn the computer and vaporizer off for a minute too. As many of you are already aware, Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em cracked on Twitter for a million followers to see last night. Media Take Out kept a pretty good record of the tweets… and cradled his nuts ever so gently.

Ronnie understands, Soulja Boy. Promoting ignorance is a hard job and these crackers won’t let you do it. Fair enough. But with anything worthwhile, a nigga’s gotta persevere. You think they just let BET programming hit the airwaves? There’s a team of porch monkeys doing their damnedest to make sure everything on that network is careless and mind-numbing. If you want to be considered among the greats, you’ve got to put in the work. Plus, we’s colored. So, there’s going to be opposition at every turn.

The way I see it, Soulja Boy’s really only a couple blunts-per-day away from being the icon colored ignorance hasn’t had since, well, Snoop Dogg.

Honestly, I was a really big Soulja Boy fan years ago. When he was just on youtube, walking around Wal-Mart with A-Rab doin stupid stuff. He was making the same ass music back then (I swear 1/2 his album is 2+ years old prior to it coming out) so I don't see his problem. The "crackas" didnt tell him to write his name on his sunglasses, the "crackas" didn't tell him to make easy as hell catchy beats, the "crackas" OBVIOUSLY didn't give him media training, but these "crackas" are the ones who helped him move his family out of the hood and they helped him get all of that "Gucci".

I think he needs to get off his high horse and stop acting like these are songs he wasn't doing before hand. He needs to re-listen to songs like "Girl you stank" and then try and say something. He was cooning himself for a deal, so he shouldn't be mad when they want him to shuffle his lanky ass across the stage.
