SOULJA BOY SIGNED THEM PHRESH BOYZ TO SODMG !Soulja Boy picked up a rapper named Yung FYI aka Jaylen Bruins —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.137.175.47 ( talk) 10:10, 25 August 2010 (UTC) Can Somebody Fix the redirection, Souljah Boy is another rapper in the mo thugs family (Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony Collective) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.210.92.45 ( talk) 18:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
There isn't a suitable page (that I can find) to redirect to. Also, the article currently states: "On December 9, 2007, Way was sued by William Lyons (aka Souljah Boy of Mo Thugs) who claims he first created the stage name "Souljah Boy"." However, the source doesn't point to anything that mentions either "Soulja Boy", and William Lyons' (or Soulja Boy's) name doesn't appear on the Mo Thugs page anywhere.

An edit by User:Andrewlp1991 has been identified as vandalism. In the "Early Life" section it reads: "Soulja Boy Tell 'Em was born in Chicago, Illinois and moved to Atlanta, Georgia at age seven, on July 28, 1990."
It should say: "Soulja Boy Tell'em was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 28 1990. At age seven, he moved to Atlanta Georgia..."
The current article statement is misleading as it suggests that he moved to Atlanta, Georgia as a seven-year-old on the day that he was born. -- NiceHotShower ( talk) 04:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Well, in the infobox, his "also known as" only lists "Soulja Boy". Should we also things he calls himself such as "S. Beezy", or just "Beezy"? I mean, there's obviously his own self-published YouTube videos, but I don't know if any 'news' has covered it or not. -- H E L LØ Ŧ H E R E 03:13, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
I don't think that's necessary. The Lil Wayne article does not mention the (excessive number of) nicknames that he has given himself such as "Weezy F" and the like, and I don't think it is really all that important. If it's another name he used to use (for example, when a band undergoes a name change upon releasing their first "real album") then it might be valuable, but I don't think names he makes up for himself in songs are worthwhile information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.10.241.149 ( talk) 21:55, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Soulja Boy was 17 when he first started(i think). So how the hell he talking bout bitches hoes and asses, and he ain't even at the legal age to vote?
One does not have to be a certain age to curse anyway. Cursing is never against any laws in teh United states and the censors do not ban curse words just because a minor uses them. If a word in banned by the FCC the age of the user is irrelevent. Howver due to freedom of Speech amendment anyone can use any language on their album that they see fit. However parental consent is a factor but most parents do not mind if a child curses at 16, given that they are so close to adulthood that they are old enough to have the discretion to use such language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.34.246.81 ( talk) 18:19, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I understand your point and I hate him as well. However the purpose of Wikipedia is so that people find nuetral information on people despite their popularity and general opinion of said persons.For example in general people like Hitler and Charles Manson have reputations as cold blooded murderers but they are so notable they deserve a wikipedia page.

My goodness, this article hardly mentions how his music is frequently panned by critics. If were going to mention his commercial success in the lead, it is only fitting to mention how his music is poorly received. Richard ( talk) 16:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
Even the few decent reviews acknowledge the negative reception on him.
and here are articles detailing the criticism he gets. [9] [10] Richard ( talk) 22:14, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
JpGrb, the good opinion on him is his ability to make hit songs and that is already mentioned. The fact is, his music is recepted poorly by music critics and his peers. Yes, there maybe a few who stick up for him, but the overall perception of his music is not good. In fact, the LA Times and SF Chronicle basically provide a good NPOV on him. Richard ( talk) 11:39, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Uhmm, I'm not sure you understand WP:NPOV policy. It pertains to the presenting of the notable/reliable information available on him without bias, primarily of the editor. It does not pertain to the editor making a judgment call on which or how much of this information should be presented. To not present notable/reliable info in fact violates NPOV.
Quotes from WP:NPOV:
"Articles must be written from a neutral point of view, representing all significant views fairly, proportionately, and without bias."
"The neutral point of view (NPOV) requires that where multiple perspectives on a topic have been published by reliable sources, all majority- and significant-minority views must be presented fairly, in a disinterested tone, and in rough proportion to their prevalence within the source material."
"Neutrality weights viewpoints in proportion to their prominence."
"Neutrality requires that the article should fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by a reliable source, and should do so in proportion to the prominence of each."
etc.
If the majority of the reviews are negative, you are to present that. You do not have to even out the article with the same amount of good reviews.
If the majority of info is negative, proportionately there are more negative reviews, therefore the article should reflect this and there's no need to balance it out with the same amount of good reviews (only a proportional ratio of what positive reviews exist in the media). It's biased to try to present an equal or greater amount of positive criticism if, in fact, the artist has not been receiving it.
I should also point out your [HELLØ ŦHERE] sentence:
"Whether it's true or not, it isn't fair and it isn't how things are (should be) done on Wikipedia"
Actually, all that matters is if it's true and backed with reliable sources (as long as it does not violate Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons). It doesn't matter if you personally disagree with this nor if this is not not how you think things "(should be) done on Wikipedia".
There's no need for a specific criticism section, but the info should be reflected within the article. 24.190.34.219 ( talk) 06:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Following the release of the single "Marco Polo", Soulja Boy Tell'em released a 6 part video series via youtube entitled "Rich Nigga S**t", in which he challenged Bow-Wow to a race with his new Lamborghini. Soulja Boy later released another video criticizing Bow-Wow for renting his Lamborghini, calling him "fake" and "broke" in the video. The two are still exchanging videos, in Soulja Boy's new song "Successful", he relates to the fued. There is no sign that it will end soon. Juney Boondata ( talk) 22:50, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
That wasn't a direct reference to Bow Wow. It was a refrence to rappers in general. You're just blowing it out of context and trying to make it public. He did not say, "I don't believe you Bow Wow, who you kidding dog. -" Take it from a fan, the feud is OVER! —Preceding unsigned comment added by DjayXL ( talk • contribs) 15:36, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
The last sentence:
"Despite his commercial success, his music has been the subject from ridicule from his peers and critics."
"from" ridicule? I'm pretty sure you mean "of" ridicule.

Soulja Boy said himself in an interview back in '08 that he did not sign White Tee(who works for Yums), it was a joke that they both did in the Magic Show Convention. A new picture instead of the horrible one you put from YouTube Live would be more appropriate.

Soulja Boy now has three new artist signed to his label SODMG Records(SOD Money Gang Ent.) " Lil PlayBoii", "BigHoodBoss", and Lil B(formerly from The Pack). has them under their roster.

Musical style Critics and hip-hop figures such as Snoop Dogg and Method Man[26] cite Soulja Boy as artistically typical of contemporary rap trends such as writing for the lucrative ringtone market, and the ascendence of "Southern hip hop", emphasizing catchy music that discards rap's traditional emphasis on message.[27][28] Soulja Boy identifies his goal as making upbeat, party-themed music that avoids the negative, violent image that he sees in most hip-hop.[27][28]
Snoop Dogg may have criticized Soulja Boy earlier on, but he has since apologized for said comment and co wrote and performs a song and video (Pronto is the song) with Soulja Boy. He repeatedly stresses his regret for voicing the earlier opinion you duly noted, under Music Style.

I mean, i'm not sure if he's a completely reliable source but it's your call, i'd personally wait for the NBA to actually confirm it. On another note, he does seem pretty sure about the album name but if you want you can wait for it to be said in an interview or something like that for it to be confirmed otherwise you should put it in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DjayXL ( talk • contribs) 16:47, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
While this comes with the obligatory preface that I really don't like (or am familiar with) the Boy's music, this section seems written to sound inherently negative, in a manner that comes off as unsuitable for an encyclopedia entry. Sure, it's got plenty of references, but it comes off as rather unprofessionally slanted. Can anyone familiar with the music at least throw a few objective comments in there?

Georgia is spelled wrong in his origin
192.91.172.36 ( talk) 18:47, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Earlier this year he released a mixtape titled "Death Note". The title and 'cover art' alone was clearly a ripoff, using fonts of the popular manga/anime series of that same name. But it didn't stop there. On the track "Long Journey" he blatantly ripped off the anime's OST, using "Near Theme" as the music behind his 'rapping'. Its not even like, just a close match. its literally the same song, same tempo, same notes, just a different instrument, and some shitty lyrics over it. He gives no credit for any of it. http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/05/27/rapper-soulja-boy-rips-off-death-note/ 71.145.161.184 ( talk) 06:58, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

While reading this article on 4/29/2011 @ 11:45 AM central time the following error was spotted in paragraph 2 sentence 2 of the introduction.
The article says "On August 17 Way was listed at #7 on the Forbes list of 2010." However reference number 4 clearly states that his rank is #18 as he raked in $7 million, but the original forbes.com article ranks him at #18 making $6 million tying T-Pain. [1]
Nobody makes more than Jay-Z.
Anyway, based on the primary source (forbes.com article) I am requesting that he be listed as #18 making $6 million in 2010 and the reference be updated to the primary source.
Thanks.

"Neutrality weights viewpoints in proportion to their prominence."
"Neutrality requires that the article should fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by a reliable source, and should do so in proportion to the prominence of each."
etc.
If the majority of the reviews are negative, you are to present that. You do not have to even out the article with the same amount of good reviews.
If the majority of info is negative, proportionately there are more negative reviews, therefore the article should reflect this and there's no need to balance it out with the same amount of good reviews (only a proportional ratio of what positive reviews exist in the media). It's biased to try to present an equal or greater amount of positive criticism if, in fact, the artist has not been receiving it.
I should also point out your [HELLØ ŦHERE] sentence:
"Whether it's true or not, it isn't fair and it isn't how things are (should be) done on Wikipedia"
Actually, all that matters is if it's true and backed with reliable sources (as long as it does not violate Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons). It doesn't matter if you personally disagree with this nor if this is not not how you think things "(should be) done on Wikipedia".
There's no need for a specific criticism section, but the info should be reflected within the article. 24.190.34.219 ( talk) 06:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Following the release of the single "Marco Polo", Soulja Boy Tell'em released a 6 part video series via youtube entitled "Rich Nigga S**t", in which he challenged Bow-Wow to a race with his new Lamborghini. Soulja Boy later released another video criticizing Bow-Wow for renting his Lamborghini, calling him "fake" and "broke" in the video. The two are still exchanging videos, in Soulja Boy's new song "Successful", he relates to the fued. There is no sign that it will end soon. Juney Boondata ( talk) 22:50, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
That wasn't a direct reference to Bow Wow. It was a refrence to rappers in general. You're just blowing it out of context and trying to make it public. He did not say, "I don't believe you Bow Wow, who you kidding dog. -" Take it from a fan, the feud is OVER! —Preceding unsigned comment added by DjayXL ( talk • contribs) 15:36, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
The last sentence:
"Despite his commercial success, his music has been the subject from ridicule from his peers and critics."
"from" ridicule? I'm pretty sure you mean "of" ridicule.

Hi, when I try to access the album, souljaboytellem.com from a protected network (eg @school) - it gets classified as an insecure website because of the .com suffix. Is the way anyone can work around this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.110.52.59 ( talk) 13:16, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Soulja Boy said himself in an interview back in '08 that he did not sign White Tee(who works for Yums), it was a joke that they both did in the Magic Show Convention. A new picture instead of the horrible one you put from YouTube Live would be more appropriate. Take it from a soulja boy fan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DjayXL ( talk • contribs) 19:08, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Soulja Boy now has three new artist signed to his label SODMG Records(SOD Money Gang Ent.) " Lil PlayBoii", "BigHoodBoss", and Lil B(formerly from The Pack). has them under their roster.

Musical style Critics and hip-hop figures such as Snoop Dogg and Method Man[26] cite Soulja Boy as artistically typical of contemporary rap trends such as writing for the lucrative ringtone market, and the ascendence of "Southern hip hop", emphasizing catchy music that discards rap's traditional emphasis on message.[27][28] Soulja Boy identifies his goal as making upbeat, party-themed music that avoids the negative, violent image that he sees in most hip-hop.[27][28]
Snoop Dogg may have criticized Soulja Boy earlier on, but he has since apologized for said comment and co wrote and performs a song and video (Pronto is the song) with Soulja Boy. He repeatedly stresses his regret for voicing the earlier opinion you duly noted, under Music Style.

Soulja Boy has changed his album from "The DeAndre Way" to The Dre Album or Dre The Album. Not sure the combination but he's no longer using The DeAndre Way. "PSA: My Album title has changed from "The DeAndre Way" to "Dre" mark ya calendars July 28, 2010." here's the source, you'll have to scroll down but it's directly from him. --- www.twitter.com/souljaboytellem —Preceding unsigned comment added by DjayXL ( talk • contribs) 13:42, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
I mean, i'm not sure if he's a completely reliable source but it's your call, i'd personally wait for the NBA to actually confirm it. On another note, he does seem pretty sure about the album name but if you want you can wait for it to be said in an interview or something like that for it to be confirmed otherwise you should put it in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DjayXL ( talk • contribs) 16:47, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
While this comes with the obligatory preface that I really don't like (or am familiar with) the Boy's music, this section seems written to sound inherently negative, in a manner that comes off as unsuitable for an encyclopedia entry. Sure, it's got plenty of references, but it comes off as rather unprofessionally slanted. Can anyone familiar with the music at least throw a few objective comments in there?

Earlier this year he released a mixtape titled "Death Note". The title and 'cover art' alone was clearly a ripoff, using fonts of the popular manga/anime series of that same name. But it didn't stop there. On the track "Long Journey" he blatantly ripped off the anime's OST, using "Near Theme" as the music behind his 'rapping'. Its not even like, just a close match. its literally the same song, same tempo, same notes, just a different instrument, and some shitty lyrics over it. He gives no credit for any of it. http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/05/27/rapper-soulja-boy-rips-off-death-note/ 71.145.161.184 ( talk) 06:58, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Soulja Boy — On the cover art for his new album
The DeAndre Way, he's no longer called "Soulja Boy Tell 'Em," but just "Soulja Boy". Therefore, I'm making this request for this article to officially be moved, since the cover art seems official confirmation.

While reading this article on 4/29/2011 @ 11:45 AM central time the following error was spotted in paragraph 2 sentence 2 of the introduction.
The article says "On August 17 Way was listed at #7 on the Forbes list of 2010." However reference number 4 clearly states that his rank is #18 as he raked in $7 million, but the original forbes.com article ranks him at #18 making $6 million tying T-Pain. [1]
Nobody makes more than Jay-Z.
Anyway, based on the primary source (forbes.com article) I am requesting that he be listed as #18 making $6 million in 2010 and the reference be updated to the primary source.
Thanks.

The article says:
On December 9, 2008, Charles Hamilton commented in a interview by saying that Way was making it harder for new artists to be signed. Way responded by saying, "X out the Sonic and fuck with Mario, you might want to got damn eat a mushroom."
Would it be possible to explain what the hell "X out the Sonic and fuck with Mario, you might want to got damn eat a mushroom" means? Because that doesn't make sense. That would be like if your mommy told you to wash the dishes, and you responded, "All screwdrivers are pimply fire hydrants fuck shit piss." -- 71.205.113.109 ( talk) 20:01, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
