According to Atlanta, Georgia rapper Soulja Boy, the positions held by the likes of Jay Z and Snoop Dogg will soon be replaced by the artists representing the new generation of rappers. The “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” star then dubbed himself “the leader of the new school.”
Among the artists Soulja mentioned while speaking on the new generation of rappers were RiFF RaFF, Kevin Gates, and Bobby Shmurda.
“It’s gonna be all new artists coming out,” Soulja Boy said during an interview with Steve Lobel. “Bobby Shmurda, he about to turn up. I just look at it as like a lot of new artists coming in the game. A whole new industry…The industry is gonna change. And the industry is gonna repeat itself. The OGs is getting older. The young Gs we growing up. We gonna fill the positions that y’all was filling. The Snoop Doggs and the Jay Zs…We just gotta get the business organized. I see me being at the top of the game. I’m the leader of the new school. Cause when I came in people didn’t understand it. And now here we are seven years later and people is all around it, eating it up.”
Prior to speaking on becoming “the leader of the new school,” Soulja Boy spoke on his work producing. He revealed that he taught himself how to produce because he was tired of using instrumentals from other rappers. As a result, he says he produced 90 percent of his debut album, SouljaBoyTellEm.com.
“I got tired of rapping on instrumentals,” he said. “So, I found this software called FL Studio. And I made my first beat at the crib. It was aight. It wasn’t all that, but it was straight enough to rap on. So, after I did that I got better and better over the years. I dropped my first album SouljaBoyTell.com and went platinum. I produced 90 percent of the album. I really produced the album. And then, you know, they had one producer come in and add like one beat or two beats. But I always been a producer. I really fell off as a producer because I got lazy…After I been dropping these mixtapes and all that I said ‘You know what? Let me get back to making beats.’ Cause every time I go somewhere they say ‘Soulja, what’s up with those beats? Soulja, let me get a beat.’ And I ain’t want niggas thinking I was being mean. But I just—I’m not into making beats right now.”
In regards to what he’s working on currently, Soulja Boy says he’s working on projects from a variety of artists at Cash Money including Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.
“The future, man…Producing,” Soulja Boy said when asked what he’s currently working on. “Working on Nicki’s project. Working with Cash Money, Rich Gang, Carter V. I got a TV show coming real soon.”

As soon as white high school girls started singing Soulja Boy songs word-for-word, his career was finished.
I respect soulja boy, nigga like 22-23 and a multi millionaire…. How can u hate on that, instead it should motivate u. He say his music is trash then y don’t u put out better music then him?
Stfu faggot. Soulja Fag is a disgrace, i dont care how many weak millions he made.
This has to be a joke.
You white pussy^^^^ you whites are in love with the word “Faggot”…. How u gonna hate on someone living a life that u want to live. And wtf is a “weak million” 1 mill is more than what you’ll make in a lifetime, Yall sum lames
there’s more to life than cupping some rapper’s balls because they got some bread off a song
and there’s a difference between motivation and dickriding
Sit down son, it’s ok that your immature one day u will grow up. I can tell you like 4 souja boy songs, but because I say I respect him, I’m dick riding? U fuckin white people need to get off this site ASAP
Why would you respect Soulja Boy of all people? Nigga is trash and hasn’t done anything worth respecting. And yes, you are dickriding since you accused people of being haters and said “if you think he’s trash, then you do better,” that’s dickriding.
Accuses people of being immature, can’t spell for shit.
Haha white people ^ yall sum retarded ass crackkas, so because I respect some bodies grind, I’m dick riding? Haha fuckin weirdos on this site…
How would you know somebody’s white if you don’t even see or hear them? You must be the white person. And it’s not just the fact that you said you respected Soulja Boy that makes you a dickrider, you also accused people of hating and told them to make better music.
I kno your white cuz u cant comprehend what I’m saying, I didn’t say he makes the best music or even good music, I respect him cuz he made it, dumbass crakka. And I said since he makes trash music why don’t u make your own… Fucking weirdos on this site
I understood perfectly what you said and it was stupid. He didn’t “make it,” he fizzled out, he became a flash-in-the-pan, he’s become a joke. And you still criticizing people who call his music trash by saying they should make better. You don’t have to be an artist to know shit. Go back to school.
Haha give up now crakka, look at his net worth, he’s worth more than your family combined, face white boy he made it, how am im critizing by saying make your own music, fuckin weirdos on this site…u white people don’t know what the fuck your talking about, don’t even understand the culture…. Can’t even use the term dick riding correct, stick to country fuck boi
What net worth? These stupid ass “celebrity net worth” sites are bullshit outdated guesstimates.
He rich?, good for him
But he’s just another wack rapper
Now way this guy could be the new Jay or Snoop
Hell nah, more like the new Wayne or the new Gucci
FOH weirdo, crack is wack
lmfao
notice how the majority of the rappers these days are always twitching and scratching in their interviews…we truly live in a world of junkies as the new cool…damn I feel bad for this generation man..seriously
This boy is crazy, yes there are artists today that are good. You cannot however compare any of them to Jay, Nas, Snoop. All those artists where great and special in there own way. You can’t out brag Jay, or tell a story like Nas, or just rap for rapping sake like Snoop.
RiFF RaFF, Kevin Gates, and Bobby Shmurda.
So a Gimick, True Street cake that will not get the right machine behind his music, and a ONE hit wonder who song did not even have verse to it (Trinny James Gold)
I aint never see Nas, Snoop, Jay Z
floss with fake money and jews on instagram “MR. 23 Million”
This nigga is delusional. Straight up corn. And this dude is not a multi-millionaire if you knew anything about math and how the industry works you would know he’s about to be broke.
Hate em or love em he’s the reason why folks are getting deals off of youtube.
that would be justin bieber
only spot this guy is filling is plenty of peoples recycling bins on their computers
Diddnt this faggot jus get his jewellery taken AGAIN???? ROFL what a bitch.
I cringe when I hear this fag talking hard, making threats he never ever follows through with,lol.
What a disgrace,smh.
