Soulja Boy Is The KING Of Atlanta

Yeah, I said it! Deandre “Soulja Boy” Way is the new KING of Atlanta. T.I. is on a little hiatus and it is only fitting to give Soulja Boy the crown while T.I. is away. A while back we did a list to see who was the King of Atlanta, and now looking back at that list Soulja Boy is the most qualified candidate for the job. T.I. is on a vacation, Jeezy fell back after all of the Obama buzz he had, Andre 3K isn’t interested in being the King of Atlanta, Luda is becoming a thespian that raps well, and Gucci…he is the other candidate I was considering. Gucci has the hood support, but that support doesn’t transfer into sales. Let’s be honest, Madison Ave. is not beating down Gucci’s door. When you add all these things up, Soulja Boy has the better stats. Soulja Boy sells albums, he has his own shoe, is a multimedia juggernaut, and most importantly…the ladies love him. Sounds like a King to me. If Soulja Boy keeps this up, T.I. might have a problem taking the crown back when he gets home. They are already calling him a young Russell Simmons, and that isn’t a bad thing to be called. ALL HAIL the KING!

  1. wtf are u sayin?…soulja shit aint compared shit to T.I….T.I. is da shit he is da King of da Statesssssss man fuck wat u say

    1. congratulate the young dude for gettin money, but everyybody including him know he trash. only appeal to young idiots

  2. Man hell no I love soulja boy and all but T.I. will always be the King of Atlanta i might consider Soulja boy as the prince but King aint happenin.

  3. its disappointing that he even put on the pedastal with real rappers… they need to make genre for wack song makin people like him, b hamp, and whoever else make gay dance sngs wit no lyrical content whatsoever

  4. Ya said all the other rappers are out and the best ya come up with is Soulja Boy?? What bout Young Dro??

  5. Soulja Boy isn’t as bad as he sued to be, but King of the ATL?!?! HELL NO!!!

    Luda has definitely got Soulja Boy beat. W

  6. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You seriously gonna say Soulja Boy is the king? He can’t rap that well, I think the crown should go to Luda. Even if his album didn’t sell that good it still went halfway to gold in a week, Soulja Boy sold like 40k in his first week. I wish Andre would come back, he could rap circles around anybody else in ATL.

  7. well, most consider robert davis (dj screw) the true king of the south.
    i mean he invented the chopped and screwed, the lean, he is a icon still after death
    but thats the south in general, i agree. so many cats do not claim the king title, yet give it to him. thats king respect status.
    now….the atlanta king title.
    for me is a three way battle….

    dro, gucci, beezy

    i’ll start with dro, the least likely but strongest of the three in lyrics. that aside, he also has the least fanbase. gucci, who i belive has taken the king status…has the credibility, the support, his fanbase is now huge. just for some facts gucci mane is the 3rd most searched on myspace, behind weezy and taylor swift. lol. he is gettin alot of exposure. his mixtape game is perfected. i say this cuz he constontly gives u brand new shit. with little to no dj drops. he is the face of atlanta. he also reps it like a king. now soulja boy he def wants that title, as stated he has many many many fans, he is a titan in the market game. but….what holds him back is….the fact he is TO marketable. he still has kiddy tracks, he is young, his lyrics (which dont matter just sayin) arnt great, he is gucci manes protege…let me speak on that. even though he got his S.O.D. shit, gucci mane pretty much ownes soulja boy. u can hear his influence in soulja boys songs. i mean i would bet money that soulja next cd will be 85 percent produced by zaytoven. which is a good thing but he is def influenced by gucci alot. and he isnt mature enough to claim king. but a positive on beezy is that he is himself, he isnt tryin to be hard super thug. but….one rapper yall didnt give a chance is v.i.c. HEAR ME OUT….get silly, while a beezy song, is pretty damn catchy. he is a better rapper then soulja boy, he had bangin ass songs. better cd then both of soulja boys offerings. is a deeper rapper, with songs about his faith, which i personally like very much. he has better features. he just dont got the fanbase yet. i think once a second cd drops he will grow. but…until beezy tries to become gucci’s equal instead of apprentice. soulja wont be king.

    the problem is…most will throw in soulja cuz his cd’s sell. but, i think its a damn shame when you dont get recognized cuz u independent. gucci is king. not soulja, soulja is prince. and thats a good title to be at. but t.i. will do one of two things. he will return, fans will be overjoyed but, many will not label him king. the thing is, u cant be self proclaimed. u need to be co-signed by many. so you can kall yourself king, but its just u opinion. it only matters when others say u are. as far as im concerned gucci is king. and i think if anything luda would claim it before t.i.

    and just for fun, big boi has stated that he wants to run for mayor of atlants

    so he will be mayor not king lol evn though him and three stacks are the best out atlanta by far.

    1. No people understand it, it’s just ridiculous! It’s like saying “Well since Lil Wayne lives in Miami now and NOT New Orleans, Mannie Fresh is THE KING of New Orleans”…Uh NO.
      (reason i picked mannie fresh is because he does beats STILL and raps so it’s the closest thing to Soulja Boy from New Orleans i couuld think of)

      And for the record I’m from Houston and LIVE IN HOUSTON, no disrespect to any1 on here BUT when it comes to the KING of Houston it’s not Dj Screw or Scarface. They laid out the blueprint but they are NOT the KING, sorry here’s why:

      Chamillionaire-1 Platinum Album, 1 Grammy, 3 car dealerships in Houston, countless mixtapes with NO guest appearances.

      Paul Wall-1 Platinum Album and has gone downhill ever since, owned a jewelry store not anymore (he took a trip to Africa and learned about blood diamonds…does not wear or condone diamonds anymore)

      Slim Thug-RESPECTED THE HIGHEST OUT OF ANYBODY IN HOUSTON, well recognized group also (BHO), Owns 2 car dealerships IN the Galeria area and is the reason why he was a millionaire before he signed with star trak. Both of his albums might not have sold as much as the previous 2 artists but they were far better albums overall. Also his Serve n Collect group albums were great also.

      Trae-respected but not loved.

      Z-ro-respected but not loved.

      Lil keke-in the same running as dj screw and scarface, he laid out the blueprint but has not done much ever since.

      Mike Jones-No.

      SPM-the reason i started listening to Houston rap, all bullshit aside he was the TRUE KING of Houston.

      Now i know some1 is going to comment on this and say “man u wack u fo’got bout Bun B n Pimp C”, PORT ARTHUR is 2 hours away from Houston. I’m talking about Houston in general NOT TEXAS overall.

      When it comes down to it as of right now it comes down to Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, or Slim Thug…my vote is…

      THUGGA!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. @ pitbull

    rly u pick thugga? wow. i personally think paul wall is better. but…i have to say z-ro and trae are real damn gud. favorits of mine. and they dont get the love they deserve. but…i mean if so many of these dudes sayin dj screw is king…and they not claimin king…then how can you say someone else is the king of texas? if they dont want that title? i mean i also think don ke, is very important, and so was face, even thoigh i barley listen to face. but screw was a pioneer in the southern ways. i mean we all entitled to what we think. and in my opinion, thugga, is a tad bit boring, he is monotone and gets a lil dull. needs better subject matter (i know its the texas thing but fukin rly). i mean paul wall’s new album, is how it shud be done. takeing risks and broadening horizons. but you cant deny the respect he has. and he does have the credentials. but he is not king status um sry. but even if we did all texas. u cant include the pimp and the bun! they say screw is king. they dont want that title. and how did we get in topic of texas?o yea i mention screw. and um waitin on that new chamillionaire. that creepin solo is gud.

    1. Paul Wall is good i just don’t think he’s on KING status. Also that new chamillionaire…is not dropping…Venom is canceled since he is retired now. He’s going to drop Mixtape Messiah 7 BUT there’s only gonna be 100 copies made and each one is going to come with $100. Cham is that dude, but yea he’s done.

  9. Soulja Boy don’t even sale albums like that, he make money off of ringtones, youtube, and etc. Soulja Boy ain’t even from Atlanta. I respect dude hustle and I like the fact he getting money but please stop with this soulja boy being the king. That dude isn’t king, nor the prince.

  10. Gucci is a GOD, straight up. esp compared to these other rappers.

    NO ONE out there can compare to this cat he’s about 500,000 years ahead of the rest of the game in terms of his flow and style and story.

    He’s the fcking Bootsy Collins of our generation.

    The fact that madison avenue / corporate america is not beating a path to his door is a GOOD THING believe that.

    You wait and see. The whole game is switching around, corporate / mainstream america has nearly turned inside out, any rapper / actor / 2-bit reality star can own a piece of that – very soon it will be worthless… and the only cache worth ANYTHING will be authenticity and REAL rebelious spirit. 2 things that cannot be bought or sold, thereby increasing their worth.

    Maybe they can be sold actually but I pray to god Gucci Mane doesnt go the corporate mainstream route all other rappers have, because if he keeps doing whats he’s been doing, he wont NEED it. Like keanu reeves in the goddam computer.

    jup.

    1. How can you compare him to Bootsy Collins?? Wtf man. I tell ya, ya’ll compare anybody nowadays. I guess with the rap game being so boring that we have to overhype people and make them bigger than what they are. Gucci is cool, I like some of his stuff but him being the best and all that is obsurd.

  11. damn, didnt know cam was retired! and pitbull i didnt say paul wall is king status. but neither is thugga in my opinion, he does have the boss spirit though. and anker, gucci is one of my favorite rappers, but he aint as good as you claim him to be, i mean he has alot goin for him and i like his music alot, but he will never be a 3k or a big boi. and he shudent aspire to that. i beleive he is the king of the atl, but not to the extent your talkin bout. he is the best at what he does trap, so in that extent he is the king of his genre, but if he set foot into the lyrical game, i would say gucci wouldnt be nuthin much.

  12. Fuck outta here kingjerm—-nigga raymond aint ready for that position—-he aint been molded in the game yet to be presented that power……being king is all about street power, respect, going through trial and tribulations, etc—u get the point—-so excuse me sir do raymond carry these gifts—FUCK NO NIGGA—GO KILL YASELF IF U THINK OTHERWISE.

      1. nigga u look like sonny purdue—-chickenboy—-u must be from albany too thinking like that…..country bunky

        1. I hope you didn’t think I wasn’t going to get with you…

          I’m a Grady Baby. Born in the A, never left Atlanta. Matter of fact I don’t even think I have been outside of 285. I refused a scholarship because I didn’t want to leave. I don’t even go to family reunions if they ain’t in the A. You can miss me with all that other shit.

          Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

  13. @ mr. keepittreal

    I don’t even no anybody who works on this site. But you a straight bitch! Shut the fuck up!

        1. lol—-just fun and games bra—-just making the day pass by quicker at work—-i fuck with nappy afro the longway—-especially my dawg b-easy—but i just dont agree with soljah being king—digg

  14. wow, soulja boy aint the king or prince or even princess of atlanta! he aint nothing but a jester!

        1. Anonymous, you are way too hot headed. Do you ever agree with anybody? Every time you write a comment, it’s all hate! Chill your ass out dawg.

  15. lol! this nigga jerm said dahlonega!! you gotta be from GA to know about that… btw, pitbull knows his shit. i know niggas from houston and thats EXACTLY what they say. they give that shit to slim thug or cham. on another note, i wish when you niggas felt the need to write a monologue that you would keep that shit comprehensible. this aint a text message. i can stand trying to decipher and read through a grammar cluster-fuck…

  16. This nigga Jerm be wildin out there.

    LOL. This nigga will say anything.

  17. Dear King Jerm:

    WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON AND HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR IT?
    Gucci Mane is awful, he’s ignorant, and he lacks almost any creativity whatsoever, the only goo dthing about him is his flow, SOULJA BOY CAN NOT RAP, he can produce, I’ll give him that, but he’s the same as Gucci, except he can’t flow. I can paraphrase most of what either of these dumbasses have written in one of these three word phrases:
    (that and they aren’t too far off lyrically)

    I LOVE MONEY
    I SELL CRACK
    I BANG WOMEN
    WE THE BEST
    I AM FLY
    I HAVE CARS
    I HAVE JEWELERY

    And the sad thing is, their lyrics are terrible, nothing special, neither is their flow, Ludacris would bomb their crap out of the water with a feature, he doesn’t need a whole song, here, listen to this verse off of the Rockin That Thang remix, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytLc911h44o it’s all the way at the end and it’s sick nasty. He’s the real king of Atlanta, T.I is beast, but Luda’s better, 3 Stacks is the best, but he doesn’t want to be called king so I won’t give him that title. And just because Luda can act too doesn’t make him less of a rapper. Jeezy is terrible, no lyrics and his voice is insanely annoying. No challenge, Luda wins, and if you really called Soulja Boy the king, then allow me to challenge him for the crown, and I’m a 15 year old kid. King Jerm, you have no taste whatsoever

  18. the only thing Soulja Boy is king of is the ringtone rap world, and even then, he will lose his crown soon enough and will have a hard time getting a job at fucking blockbuster.

      1. its hard not to hate him when his songs might as well have been written by 5 year olds. His production skills are null as well, but i’d rather have an instrumental album from him than a accapella album.

  19. I don’t mind you hating his music, but you don’t know him and probably shouldn’t wish ill on a person… Jus sayin…

  20. aiight, i just needed to remind everyone that Soulja Boy isn’t any good, because it seems that people are seeming to forget that.:)

  21. you guys trip over soulja boy too much….i personally think soulja boy is ass BUT i also personally lik a couplle of particular songs from sb……..i think there is alotta ppl out there who prolly fall in the same category as me………i mean cmon u gotta lik tht beat to “turn my swag on”…….

    song i like from soulja boy are:

    gucci bandana ft. gucci mane
    turn my swag on…..i think thts it but i thought he had another jam but fucc it im bout to pop in tht redman “whut? thee album”……………….what yall kno bout tht

  22. gucci got the crown lets be real( TI IS IN JAIL ). soulja boy just a bishop on that ATL chess board.

  23. i can’t believe niggas STILL beefing about this! Don’t ya’ll know to be king of the ATL you gotta be GOOD?!? Haha Soulja Boy already fails.
