Why SouljaBoy sells...

This may seem kinda weird to post about the success of SouljaBoy after
his former beef partner(??) Charles Hamilton. But the two posts are
nothing alike and all the same so I guess it goes. I was wondering why
is it that someone who doesn't have as much talent as other rappers out
there has made it so big!! And I know what it is, SouljaBoy LISTENS!!!
He listens to the record labels, he listens to the people whose job it
is to sell him, and he listens to his fans. He's smart enough to know
that those people know what is best for his career, and he's allowed
them to do their job. Now, many would call that "selling out" and maybe
it is, but its also SELLING. He may not have the best lyrics or messages
(at all) but he knows that he can't take the reins on the business side,
because that isn't his field. You wouldn't try to be your own lawyer in
a supreme court case, you'd let the best do their job. And that's a
valuable lesson even outside of the music industry. Sometimes humbling
yourself enough to let someone else handle the situation can benefit you
more than you trying to do it yourself....

So...To Agree with you. He does in fact listen. He gives his fans what his fans want. Now if we can harness his marketability and put a message in with it...or simply make sense out of a song....we have...a SUPASTAAAAAA (No R)
