Is Trick Daddy a game to you?
YESSS even with the "log-on" skits and everything!!
Pitchshifter dropped this in the same year as well:
I just re-read the transcript of that cringe-as-hell phone call between Kanye West and Taylor Swift where he claims he made Drake... it always cracks me up that everyone is so quick to claim Drake as their son, quicker than he was for his own actual kid lol
God Rap was in such a dire place in the 00s to 10s. Thank God I had an iPod and a PC with Limewire installed.
I can't stand Soulja Boy's music but this thread isn't wrong. You can draw a direct line from Soulja to a lot of the top rap acts of today.

Absolutely correct from a viral marketing standpoint imo. Lil B and Chief Keef took the self-releasing concepts to the next level, but I'm pretty sure Soulja did it first. He was on Youtube in like 2006 while physical mixtape CDs were still the primary medium. Gucci Mane also deserves a lot of credit for killing it during that era and his A&Ring for So Icey and 1017.
Edit: I'm assuming we're talking about 2000's the century and not 2000's the decade. For just 2000-2009, I think it goes to Pharrell or Kanye.

holy shit, i always thought that was done by the dude someone had leeched off lol
All straight facts.
Lil B has more rap children than Shawn Kemp. So many major rappers today just wouldn't exist without his "based" style having been.
Lil B absolutely doesn't get the credit he deserves, IMO
I remember laughing at this guy once or twice in the 00s. That's all really.
Didn't he also try to get a couple of scams off the ground like a videogame console or something?
But oh well, seems like he made a whole bunch of money back then so I'll have to give him that.

Something Soulja gets little credit for but I swear is also true...
Soulja was really one of the first millennial rappers to define and popularize what would later become known as the social media rapper aesthetic.
Being around the same age as Soulja, and coming up during the birth of modern social media... His dumb ass videos that were basically nothing but him talking dumb shit and doing dumb shit was a MAINSTAY on the blogs.
Anybody remember when he was dating Kat Stacks? You had to be there...

I would put Lil Wayne and maybe Gucci Mane over Soulja Boy but he and Lil B were ahead of their time for sure.
Soulja Boy was very ahead of his time. He was a tik tok rapper before tik tok. My 62 yr old father knows who Soulja Boy is but he couldnt tell you why
The BEST way to put it.
Kiss Me Through the Phone is also a bop. Fight me.
An argument can be made that's for sure. I'm not one for pulling people's cards but those who paid attention around then can tell you how he changed the industry, seeing people say he isn't and making jokes nah, yall weren't paying attention. We're not even talking just hits either, he was different. It was less about the "quality of music" but more about his methods.
He honestly could be called the first social media influencer when you think about it.

The ONLY Soulja Boy song I fucks with. Once them claps hit and your head "YUP" you hit the dance floor cause all the ladies were about to get BUSY.
Lil B was 100% the first meme rapper. People are still calling shit BASED to this day.
Soulja Boy is the sound of middle school for me. Hated him at the time but now as an adult I have a nice nostalgia for him.
Youuuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuuu
Soulja Boy literally influenced Beyonce though, he got a writing credit on Lemonade for it.
You never heard this gem?
