MTV News caught up with Soulja Boy in Atlanta last week, where he talked about his upcoming 2nd LP, Back To School. According to MTV News, in addition to the project, which will drop around the time students head back to school (think late August/early September), he’s also “dropping the Soulja Boy sunglasses, his own signature shoes called Yums, as well as a cartoon titled ‘Bad Little Homies’ about him and his friends. Not to be left out is the ever-essential clothing, S.O.D.s. It’s named after his record label, Stacks on Deck. On deck are his protégés the All-Stars. Topping it all off will be the Soulja Boy and Friends Tour, featuring himself and other young acts.” And this time around, he may also collaborate with more people. Soulja said:

“[This time,] I’mma look around [for tracks], whether it’s a producer like Polow or a producer nobody ever heard of. For my fanbase, people who tune in to Soulja Boy, I think a good feature would be me and Chris Brown. Soulja Boy featuring Chris Brown — my audience would be like, ‘Oh my God!”

What do you think, Soulja Boy and Chris Brown?!?! Would that be hot?!?

To be fair, it’d be very easy to throw V.I.C. in with the rest of the dance rappers that have come out in the past few years. There are enough to fill up a VH1 “Where Are They Now?” special at this point. V.I.C. argues though, that he’s anything but one of those types of artists. He says he has more to him than just dance songs. He says:

“You can’t define one man by one song. ‘Get Silly’ is just the silly part of me… I do like to dance and I like to party, but that’s where the hood took it. My intent for the song, I seen a lot of colors… V.I.C. is a very colorful guy… I was talking about jewelry. You might see some jewelry that you like and you call it silly. That was the whole intent. I’m flashy like that, so ‘Get Silly’ really represents me, but it don’t define me. Cause I’m a real artist, for real…. please believe it, I’m very seasoned. I just didn’t pop up, I just got discovered.”

#13- Fab 5 Freddy and Friends get out the vote- Look at Al Sharpton!!!

#12- West Coast Rap All-Stars- This type of intervention is needed in New York right now, with all these rappers beefing with each other. Music’s supposed to unite, not divide.

#11- The Shut Up! Show- The day the inmates took over the asylum. We need another day like this at MTV.

#10- Roxanne Shante’s Beef- Roxanne basically disses everyone (YoYo, MC Lyte, Salt N Pepa, etc). Watch the clip, funny how things haven’t changed much. Ego trippin…
