NOTE: I am not a SB fan by any means
(He does have a few catchy tracks)
Honestly...
He doesn't belong in the GOAT rapping category, not even close
BUT
He does belong in another GOAT subject
He changed rap/hip-hop/the industry
Breaking out on YouTube
Getting a nation to do his dance
He opened the FLOOD GATES for many artists to be discovered on YouTube
He opened doors to show younger rappers you don't need a super producer to make a #1 song
Look at all the 1 hit wonders (and rappers that stayed since he dropped crank dat)
All that was possible because of soulja
He changed the way people can be discovered
MySpace changed to FB/Twitter/IG
(He ran MySpace)
Everyone had that song on they wall
& the ringtone game
Personally I think he shouldn't rap on beats HE produces (garbage mix)
But he can produce for other people & he should stick to doing that only
