The Collipark Music/Interscope Records rapper is now lining things up, as he prepares to release his sophomore album due at the end of this year. Though Soulja Boy's career has skyrocketed, success always mingles with a bit of drama. Soulja Boy has been amidst a verbal beef Gangsta Rap veteran, Ice-T, who had some harsh words for the young rapper and claimed he killed Hip-Hop.
Soulja Boy responded to Ice-T via a YouTube video, but the two rappers went back into their corners as the feud fizzled out. And as of recently Soulja Boy became the center of criticism due to a comment he made during an interview with a host from BET.
Yo! Raps caught up with the rising rapper/dancer/producer and discussed the slave master comment, his sophomore release and going up against Diddy in the Yo! Awards!
First, I must start with the historical moment we witnessed on November 4th, when Barack Obama became the President elect. Where were you when you heard the news and how do you feel?
Oh man, it's just crazy; it feels like it's too good to be true. It's like we're living in the future, it's the year 2008, and our President is black. It's just crazy to me though [laughs]. I was in the studio when it happened; I was finishing up my album. When they finally announced it, it was like the craziest feeling. People were blowing up my phone, everyone was in the studio going crazy, and everyone was exited. I was like whoa! It's a feeling that I really can't explain, a crazy feeling going through my body. - YoRaps.com
