Put some RESPECT on Soulja boys name. He really changed the entire hip hop game at the age of 15-16 years old. From the bedroom of his MISSISSIPPI home. After his family relocated to Mississippi from Georgia at age 14, his father built a home studio where he wrote, recorded and produced his own music. He uploaded his first song in 2005, an Mp3 of a comedic song called “Doo Doo Head,” rose to number one on Soundclick’s user-rated charts after only a few weeks. At one point, Soulja Boy claimed he averaged 19,000 downloads a day. He even started what popular now vlogging to connect more with fans and creating short comedy skits before it became a popular career aspiration. When he published the instructional dance video to YouTube. The video went on to generate more than 20 million views and spawned thousands of homemade response videos and song remixes. The prevalence of both the song and dance helped “Crank That” to viral fame, a phenomenon that also went on to be reflected on Billboard’s Top 100 chart where it landed at number one. In 2008, Soulja Boy became the first rapper to set a record for the most digital downloads in the U.S. with “Crank That” selling over 3 million units. He created the viral dance concept. He’s the original social media influencer. “Crank That,” and his later work, drove hip-hop to evolve. The current iteration doesn’t exist without him. Steaming, Vlogging, Self Made artist.
Soulja worked with a little known Atlanta trio Migos before they even became the Migos. As Soulja hilariously pointed out during his interview, Drake even borrowed a few flows from Soulja’s underground singles. Hate him or love him, Soulja Boy is a hip-hop pioneer. His success on the Internet has changed the way young rappers approach their hustle.
