Some people propose that soulja boy [tell 'em] and his empty lyrics or abc rhymes as others put it has singlehandedly killed hip hop. I agree that most of his songs are message less, beat driven and at times misogynistic. But like the kid said, if you have a problem with his music and the state of hip hop now (since he killed it), do something about it. Fix it. Don’t sit down complaining..Soulja boy came with something original, and at the right time. People love dancing and he provided an avenue for them to express themselves with his dance motivated songs.. it matters not about how empty they may be. If you want “deep” music there is always Nas, Common, Lil’ Wayne (at times), Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West – just to name a few. So I don’t think hip hop is dead, if anything it gained another dimension.
