Soulja Boy interview: "I'm far back from ignorant"

[AraGuitar]

"Are you ignorant?"

"No, I have money."

Brilliant argument.

[ssj6mysticboy]

ignorant- lacking in knowledge or training

He's absolutely right.

[multimoney777]

lmaoo at that girl in the back hAHA

[mik1867]

nigger



[DonnWalkerTV]

Anyone who calls someone else ignorant, is ignorant themselves...

[ron2ce]

Who posted this? I can't hear sht

[EliasJordan3]

Mozart died poor, so I guess Soulja Boy is a better musician.

[whaddupcuzzz]

By Soulja Boy's logic, drug dealers and bank robbers aren't ignorant, huh?

[FuIIOfFaiI]

Ignorance is curable, stupidity isn't.

[nychouseofart]

It's ignorant when u make a statement thanking slave masters as a Black male who is a descendent of enslaved Africans. It's ignorant when someone asks u the question about your intelligence and the only thing u can equate intelligence to is the amount of money that you have acquired. It's ignorant when you make a conscious effort dispel the notion that ur lyrics are juvenile at best without substance and the lyrics in the next album are still that of a kindergartner.

[thehillbillymoon]

He's disgusting on so many levels.

[theblacknight91]

haters, u dont kno the nigga at all, u call him ignorant cuz of da coler of his skin, i say he is smart, cuz smart people out here strugglin dese days, dat nigga found his talent and got successful out of it, like a lot of black artist, because unfortunately we looked at as ignorant so its hard ta make it anywhere else wit a hood mentality, it aint ignorant u dumb bitch its called different, we think differently, ya'll jus sum mutha fuckin haters!!!!!!

[investusesso]

@theblacknight91 Brother you and solja boy are no different regardless of the amount of loot he got over you!

[investusesso]

@theblacknight91 Brother you and solja boy are no different by your own definition regardless of the amount of loot he got over you!

[bballerr3]

thats when he was sexy!

[29Texan]

So according to this, you're NOT ignorant if you're rich at a young age?

Well. all those 4.0 undergrad students at harvard just getting out into the world are EXTREMELY ignorant.

[252MRperfect]

Soulja boy music sucks now he sold 13,000 copies on his album. But I can say he did make his first million basically on his own promoting himself right on myspace & making good party music & that's really good & inspiring for young ppl like me. But his music is sorta ignorant & garbage now a days so I guess it's time to get a new hustle.

[JxSTEEZE]

Wack! fake artist!.

[tkirtsey]

@JxSTEEZE Hes not an "ARTIST"...in the VIDEO he said he made his 1st million at 16...Hes Just a typical bussiness man putting on a "THUG" front to make milllions....

[phaedo602]

wow this nigga is arrogant as fuck, PRIDE no matter if religious or not, even aristotle and plato can tell you it is not a vitue.

[hastious]

SAMBO ASS COON !!!

[AaronMackTV]

Ok well what people dont understand about Souljaboy is that he was making that money INDEPENDENTLY! Promoting himself online and for him IT WORKED! So no he's not ignorant (and he DIDNT say "far back") Record companies dont really spend money on artist development anymore! In the 90's they would take a chance and invest $ but now they want you to ALREADY have stuff going 4u and he did. His own album, fans and a hit song he brought all of that to the label. Im not a STAN but i respect his hustle!

[MarvelousworldTV]

REAL SPILL

[killuminatiplz]

whoever made this vid is an epic hater cuz he didnt even say "far back" he jus said far. I dont even like soulja music and i can see this was bascially a hate vid.

[davesdung]

He is not ignorant because he made that million on his own marketing ability and business attack, social networking. He grind is by far the most inspiring and when you look back on 2008-2010 Soulja Boy will be remembered regardless of whether or not you fuck with him. #SODMG oww

[KrfNYC2]

@davesdung I'm not a fan of his music, and I don't really know what process he went through to get his money, but I imagine that you have to have some sort of business skills to become as big as he has.That being said, you can be a good business man but still an overall ignorant person.I mean we're all a little ignorant, but just because you know how to make money doesn't mean that you can't be ignorant in many other regards. I'm not saying he is or isn't ignorant, but he doesn't SEEM too smart.

[MrBacardiman1984]

he say he far from ignorant but ignorant people always brag about how much money they got or what knd of material shit they got

[saintsFlow]

he kinda looks like a black eminem in this lol

[vidbedatboy]

i wish people would stop hating on this man. Its said when you get famous and rich you become hated by many.

[LucKiiDicee]

all soulja boy fans check me out !!!!

[sonofsalim]

how do u respond to accusations of ignorance..how else...say some ignorant shit..LOL IGNANT!!!

[CrazyBlackGuy11]

JUSTIN BEIBER IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER THAN THIS.

[MrBlackfish011]

anyone who thanks slave masters, is ignorant

[neter1999]

i know ...having a million dollars doesn't mean thatyou not ignorant



[wolf1010]

That ending statement replying to the question about being ignorant couldn't have made him sound more ignorant if he tried.

[clintonskakun]

He made horribly fuked up music that some how got a record deal, that doesn't say anything about his intelligence, and it's not an American success story by far. And if you have to defend your intelligence that alone says something about what you have going for you. How he spends his money shows where his head is at. Any idiot can make and spend large amounts of money.

[kronzzzzzz]

There's a fundamental flaw in his argument. He talks as if MONEY is the most important thing, there... his ignorant argument rendered invalid. Give me critical praise and respect amongst my peer any day.

[nayesobomb]

caant evven hear wtf

[LILDHOODMP3]

Who don't know his aim (souljaboyfanpage)

[allstarpcg]

Lol, what an ignorant response

[mattakamookie08]

See what he jus said makes him ignorant. What does him getting a million dollar record deal at 16 have to do with bein ignorant. Hes makin it seem like he made a huge finanacial decision that got him rich. Not the case u jus so happen to be lucky to get recognized His whole focus is him gettin money and doin what he does.

[Cheatplayer]

@mattakamookie08 9 times out of 10 everybody who needs to say that they are not ignorant are ignorant.

[EGTsaulmansaulee]

@Cheatplayer yeah i guess they wouldnt be calling them ignorant in the fist place if they werent

[MadSkeelz16]

@mattakamookie08 you're confusing ignorance with arrogance pretty blatantly here !!

[JLJohnson02]

Him doing what he has to do in the music business including making songs that are as ignorant as they can get to get money and make a living is in some way mature,in my opinion.who honestly can say they earned a million dollars at the age of 16...

[pervmanyesican]

@JLJohnson02 macaulay culkin. homo alone, ahhhhhhh!

[MarcFreety]

@mattakamookie08 notice he said his first million dollars... dude got so much money dat he cant even put it all in da bank at once cause irs would be on his ass. money is success , everyone has ah different perspective to what success is and soulja boys dream was to be rich and have fans and he does so that means he successful

[ArberKosova]

I LIKE SOULJAS MUSIC..BEST EVER..

[blaklagoon1]

@ArberKosova I LIKE THAT NIGGER MUSIC TOO! I LOVE BEING DUMB AND STUPID BY LISTENING TO MUSIC THAT PERPETUATES IT!!! YAY FOR ME AND YOU!!!!

[EvelTwinOfSlogmaster]

Ignorant? Yes, surely is. Money has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of a person's life. Mother Teresa died without a dollar to her name. When this kid is flavor-of-LAST-month and bankrupt hopefully he'll get over his little delusion there. He surely wouldn't want his name back in headlines for holding up liquor stores because he'd gotten too accustomed to letting money soothe him into thinking that following your education is a deterrent to being the most you can.

[jafludas]

man that nigga cocky and shit, whit his wack ass !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Problemchild975]

Soulja Boy IS far from ignorant. He's about as knowledgeable as a crusty 3 week old piece of shit. "Shout out to the slavemasters" what a dumbass. The only reason he got 1 mil is because he got lucky and took advantage of dumb wannabe gangstas that listen to all this retarded snap and pop music that make him sell. He'll never be real hip-hop like Old Jay-Z, Nas, Mos Def, Wu, Pac, Common, etc. I doubt he's even heard of them b4. What an ignorant cunt.

[kingtiger9500]

i cant hear shit cause of the people screaming at the backround

[DerrickDmx]

Soulja Boy is ignorant

[jafludas]

what does money have to do with being ignorant or not??? just cuz you got money that doesn't mean that you know how to use it right, and another thing just because you on the top of the world now that doesnt mean you will stay there because the next day it can all be taken away from you, im not hating on him i am just being real and honest

[RobLo313]

if you rich who cares if your ignorant or not.....i can be the most non-ignorant person in the world but if I cant pay my bills then whats the use?

[Mehrunissah93]

Ignorance and success are extremely and highly different things! There is no correlation whatsoever.

[ufcfan4life1992]

@Mehrunissah93

Actualy you're quite wrong there.

I think what Soulja Boy is trying say is,

how can he of became so famouse if he is ignorant, you have to know about the buisness and he's obviously picked it up.

You can call his music crap(Not sayin you are) but when it come's to making money, he's pretty much mastered it, the guy knows how to market his merchandise.

[Mehrunissah93]

He got his chance exposure from Youtube. He got his song to play on the radio and it took about a year or little longer before he came out officially after that. That's not mastering anything, but chance. I heard Justin Beiber also got recognized from Youtube. That doesn't mean he knows the business.

[ufcfan4life1992]

yeah i suppose you have a point there, I guess I was just looking at it from a buisness point of view and not taking in to account that soulja boy has done nothing in the buisness industry to improve his chareer.

Allthough you have to give me the point on linkin ignorence and succes together even if it wasn't done by soulja boy (who got lucky), there have been times where it's been involved and people have dropped because of it.

[Mehrunissah93]

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean by your last statement. I didn't want to assume.

[ufcfan4life1992]

What I was saying is that there are lots

of underground rapper's that are way better

than soldier boy but they choose to stay

underground because they don't care about the fame, they do it because they just love doing it, and due to this, they've never really made it big.

Soulja boy on the other hand, thrives off being a poster child, which is probably also one of the reason's he got so popular.

[Mehrunissah93]

I have to agree with that and I like your metaphor.

[ufcfan4life1992]

thanx

[EvelTwinOfSlogmaster]

@ufcfan4life1992 Ice T calls him "the ringtone rapper." I would call Soulja Boy a sell-out, but for that he'd have to have had some credibility in the first place.

[etteilla12]

@EvelTwinOfSlogmaster Same with Ice T. Mister cop killer plays nothing but cops on tv. If that aint a sellout I dont know what is.

[ufcfan4life1992]

I was thinking about what you said, and I came up with a metaphor that pretty much sums up

Soulja Boy.

"even the cheapest pop will fizz, if you shake it right"

[IAmSoTight1]

@ufcfan4life1992 damn thats some real shit lol.

[KrfNYC2]

In his defense he really showcased the very ignorance that he is accused of.Yeah, he knows how to make money, I give him props for that, but look at how he wrecklessly hoards it, degrades women, and pumps traight up stupidity into society. This ,and the fact that he doesn't realize it, makes him truly ignorant.

[hollowchrome]

yall some haters he breaded the fuk up. he a genius with marketing his shit

[Vandatta1]

but that has nothing to do with being ignorant

[KrfNYC2]

He's a good businessman, but behaves like an ignorant, shallow and selfish person...and you can't justify that with money.

[trahouston]

It is a shame that niggas relate their success with how many pieces of paper they have with the white man's face on it.

"i'm not ignorant b/c i made a million dollars" That is ignorant. Many smart genius artists died poor and were only prevalent after death. Many college professors aren't millionaires so by his logic he is smarter b/c he has more money.

MOney money money. Damn we as humans are fucked. Money aint shit.. it only has power b/c we give it power. I pray from revolution, a bloody one.

[martythamoose]

You're wrong. Just like soulja boy said: "im far from ignant"

[trahouston]

Being wrong or right is objective but what isn't is humanity's quest to find happiness through monetary gain. Money doesn't make you smarter or a better person; in fact it often breeds ignorance and stupidity. Soulja Boy is ignorant b/c we all are. Nobody knows everything which makes us all ignorant to somethings but what separates stupidity from ignorance is that ignorant people have the ability to learn. Soulja Boy thanked slave masters for his tatoos and chains which makes him stupid, y tu?

[martythamoose]

Really, you don't impress me with your grandiloquent language. Save the pretentious crap for some other idiot -- all it does is annoy me. However, I wont argue with you since you're one of the dwindling numbers of "smarties" who realize Obama's intelligence. You, sir, have my respect.

[blinkvirus]

@trahouston you said it right there.. money is power

[KrfNYC2]

@trahouston I feel you..except for the bloody part. I feel as though money causes so many problems and it's absured how we obsess over it. But I don't wish for any violence. Also why do you emphasize the fact that the white man's face is on the dollar?

[phaedo602]

@KrfNYC2 Because the white man SEEMS to be a symbol of greed, even when the conquistadores came to Mexico, Moctezuma II (King of the Aztec people) greeted them with kindness because he and his people awaited Hernan Cortes (it was prophecised he was a god soon to arrive). The ambitious Hernan Cortes began reaping gold from the land, Moctezuma II was confused and could not understand why the spanards loved gold. Hernan Cortes later realised Moctezuma was loosing power and killed him and the Aztecs

[KrfNYC2]

@phaedo602 Not to be rude...but what is the signifigance of this in regards to the conversation?

[phaedo602]

@KrfNYC2 because you asked someone "why do you emphasize the fact that the white man's face is on the dollar?" Just think about what I said, should SB be so greatfull about diamonds and money? I mean they only breed evil (jealousy, envy, hate, death) and the white man is the one who invented the monetary system. Also,, most of the greatest artist died broke, does that make them lesser beings than SB?

[KrfNYC2]

@phaedo602 There is no need to argue with me regarding Soulja Boy. Now for this white man issue. I agree that money and material things can create much negativity. What I struggle to understand is the point trying to be made regardıng the white man.

[lambofgodrodrigo]

@trahouston Thats like the most realist shit i have heard in years...... Fuck The Media and the system...Viva La Revolucion..

[MrPurpleAcid]

@trahouston I totally agree with you!

[AizenIzPro]

@trahouston you say he is ignorant bcuz he talks about money? but ignorant is lack of knowledge so if he has money obvisouly his knowledge and skills are geared towards makin money. just as you mentioned other geniuses died poor well they wasnt after money so of course they would not have it...

[scrubofluv]

@AizenIzPro Shut your monkey ass up with that ignorant comment. Just because you have no skill and can make a beat that stupid people like to hear doesn't make you knowledgeable about making money.  It makes you lucky.

[batow8]

@AizenIzPro Ignorance at it finest right here.

[ripjaws32]

stupid skanks in the background i cant hear

[cbreezybop]

Soulja boy is the smartest nigga monkey is his age!

[BIGCHRIS7600]

let this be a lesson kids, dont go to school, dont get an education, and be a complete dumbass and make whack ass music and you'll get paid millions too!! because apperently have alot of money makes you smart????!!!!!!

[Jessenator]

Ask any 13 year old girl, he is the best rapper alive. When you start asking the educated people, that's when you get a different answer. And that slave master comment? How's he gonna say he's not ignorant after saying something as thoughtless, materialistic, and, well, ignorant as that.

[marijones1]

yea i see it now he gone get fucked up thinking he hard and gangster gangster lord help him cus someone bound to fuck him up tryin thug SOULJA BOY TELLEM I TELL U.....U NOT A SOULJA SLIM

[3dakainsane]

just because u made your 1st million dollars when u were 16 doesnt mean ur not ignorant u fag

[JMAFIOSOS]

PUNK

[loveistaught]

This guy is stupid. Having money doesn't make you intelligent or smart, in soulja boys case he's just extremely lucky. When you die you can't take your possessions with you.

This guys music is garbage, lyrically he's trash.

1 or 2 years from now nobody will remember this bum, despite his imaginary money.

soulja bum's legacy is black stupidity and cooning, the master's he gave respect to in one of his interviews would be proud of this Uncle Tom House Nigger.

[rogerdamnit]

lol...the guy is smart..1) he writes his own music 2)he makes his own beats 3)he gets a large percentage of his money,more than most rappers 4)he already admitted he' snot a lyricially rapper.but he makes silly music because that's what his fans like....that's really smart..lol

[TGTHAHUSTLA10]

real talk SBEEZY!
