I'm not too up on new artists... but is that the cat who had Lacey Duvalle in his video? I sat in utter amazement when I saw her in a video.

It was def not a good decision label-wise to drop souljah boy the same week as keisha cole, taylor swift, jamie foxx, plies... not a smart business move atall...

Soulja Boy got lucky the first time because of "Crank That" but now

.....

And just think he was talking about going Platinum in a week

I didn't think so but he truly is a one hit wonder

At least he didn't spend all of his money

WHY?

I actually thought he would do much better, of course not as much as his first. But trust me will be back with some hits, this kid is hungry.
