But, it damn sure isn't going on my Best Of 2008 either. Actually, I it's such an AVERAGE album (slightly on the bad side) that I'd say it should be one of the quickest albums to fall into obscurity. But... it... won't. "How can you hate on him?! He freestyles every song!" And it shows when his flow gets chopped up and his lyrics cease to make sense. He needs to figure out how to formulate a running metaphor... actually, let's do this one step at a time. He needs to learn how to make a metaphor. I wonder how many one-line similes he used in the album. If anyone figures that out, you've wasted your time, because I don't actually care... and neither should you. Oh, and "Lollipop"... *sigh*... ****ing g**d*** "Lollipop". I heard so many people praise this song because of the dice-shaped lollipops in the video. Yeah, you read that. I think that's all I have to say about the song. I don't get the hype. It's not like he's original. Check every album in the context in which it was released. Carter III has a song with Akon, and one with T-Pain?! NOOOOO! He uses AUTO-TUNE?! Woooooahhhh! S***, if he was two people, he'd feature himself on a verse, because he likes to co-opt the "now" trends THAT much. I've got one good point on the album... the Kanye-produced song about him being an alien. That was actually a pretty funny song and a song that ONLY Weezy could have done. So... kudos.1.0 awfulSoulja Boy Souljaboytellem.comI don't know what people see in this kid. Lyrically he's not clever. "My sidekick/My sidekick/My sidekick/My sidekick" or "I got me some bathing apes/I got me some bathing apes/I got me some bathing apes/I got me some bathing apes" or "She got a donk/She got a donk/She got a donk/She got a donk/" Do those count as lyrics? That brings me to the next point: he's formulaic as ****. I listened to about three songs before I figured out exactly when the hook was coming, how long it was going to be, and what WORDS WERE GOING TO BE IN THE HOOK! Oh, boy... that's some true art for you. Oh, and his flow. Well, let me just say that it's easy to have a precise flow when you can only belt out three rhythms: verse, chorus, and bridge. If I only knew one song, I could probably play it perfectly by now too. People are gonna get on me now "but it's about the beats". His beats are stale. Because they're made with the worst instruments possible on FruityLoops, the bass doesn't come through and the CONSTANT steel drum sounds like smacking a dead cat on a trash can. I even wondered if this was one of those albums that translates better live, then I couldn't possibly see it being done.
