Interview by Dove ~Sheepish Lordess of Chaos~
RadioPlanet.tv: Tell us a little bit about the I Got MoJo video shoot.
Soulja Boy: The song is off off of my upcoming Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama, I shot it with DJ Whoo Kid riding through NYC in a Lamborghini, right after I finished doing 106 & Park. Its all about the swag, its all about 2009, its all about the movement, its all about Soulja Boy in 2009. Shout out to DJ Whoo Kid.
RPT: Youve said that in the beginning of your career you made a lot of fun dance songs because thats how you felt, but that next time your music will be more representative of you. What do you feel will be different than what weve seen thus far?
Soulja Boy: Going into this third album, its all about me. This is gonna be my realest album, my biggest and best album to me. How the public will feel about it, I dont know. You might have a lot of people that love the dance songs, but I feel that this is gonna be my biggest and best album because its the realest album that Ive put out so far.
RPT: How do you deal with haters and the media saying things about you that you might not like?
Soulja Boy: I just live life and stay positive, I believe in hard work and dedication. I believe in dreams, having goals and accomplishing them. I made my first million dollars when I was 16-years-old, cant nobody tell me nothing. I live my life how I want to live my life, I take care of my family, my little brother and sister and a lot of people. A lot of people depend on me, Im not the type of person to depend on people. I never liked to depend on another person, I always liked to do for myself.
So when people that I dont even know or that I never met in my life that have opinions on meyou can dislike a persons music but if you have opinions on me as a person and it goes beyond music, I really dont believe or pay attention to any of those things. I do believe in constructive criticism and taking other peoples advice on improving my lyrics and things of that nature, but when it comes to talking about me as a person, I dont believe in listening to stuff like that. But I always stay grinding, dedicated and humble.
RPT: Do you feel like youve had to grow up fast over the last couple of years with your business?
Soulja Boy: Ive always been the type of person to be hands on with my business and my money, and I always want to be the type of person to learn more about everything that I do. I want to learn my craft and business, and I feel as if I got to the point where I got it down to a science with the way I market myself through the internet, and the buzz that I create around myself and my career, and building my Soulja Boy Tell Em brand up to where it is now. Any venture I do or hobbies that I have - whether it be fashion and sneakers or video games - whatever I do, I like to learn, pay attention to other people and perfect my craft.
RPT: You recently announced that youre reaching out to Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and others to work with you on your next project. How important do you feel it is for rappers of their stature to come back and work with artists like yourself who are growing and learning?
Soulja Boy: I feel as if youre a real musician or a real person, youll take the time out to work with me. Ive met a lot of different people since Ive been in the entertainment industry, and Ive had conversations with T.I., 50 Cent and Usher, people that have been in the game way longer than I have. Ive come across people that act like they dont want to be a part of working with me or whatever, then I met real artists thats down to earth like myself that dont really got a big head and will keep it 100 with you.
Those are the type of people I look forward to working with. If I reach out to a person and they act like theyre better than me or something like that, I dont take it personal, because each person is different and everybodys not gonna keep it real and want to work with you. Thats just life.
RPT: Do you ever feel that some of these [more established] people might be intimidated by you? Youve set the music industry on end at a time where others are struggling.
Soulja Boy: In the past Ive reached out to artists to work with me on something I felt could be really big, and now that artist is in a position where they really need me now. I took an artist like Sammie who hasnt been around for years, and now we got the Number One record in the country for 10 weeks straight [Kiss Me Thru the Phone].
