Soulja Boy might be turning into Mike Jones. At least on the basis of “Skate Boy,” where for a chunk of the mixtape’s songs he’s content to babble his way through repetitive phrases in a somewhat slurred, annoying tone. On the brooding opener, “God Forgive Me,” he brags, “I done came out with a hundred racks/ Fucked around got a hundred taxed/ Goons strapped up with a hundred gats/ Put a hundred hoes on a hundred backs.” It sounds ridiculous. But just like Houston rapper Jones’s brief spell in the spotlight, there’s something about the spectacle that pulls you in. It’s not quite a full-on train-wreck rap moment, but the idea of Soulja Boy in 2011 is still something to gawp at – and usually in a briefly entertaining way.
Throughout “Skate Boy,” Soulja Boy shows a talent for reciting risible rap lines with a straight-faced aplomb. On “Louis Vuitton,” which also has him crooning a hook about the designer brand, he decides that, actually, he lives his life in 4D. Elsewhere, he informs how, “You came out of pussy, I came out of water.” (It is unclear whether being Ocean Gang certified is a good or a bad thing at the end of the day, or whether Mrs. Soulja Boy just favored a birth tank.) This all happens over beats that, at their best, balance a low-fi charm with some innovative touches: In particular, “All Gold Everything,” his team-up with Young L, showcases an addictive beat that wobbles and bleeps.
Just like Jones though, Soulja Boy’s quick rise and subsequent plummet has cast him as one of Hip Hop’s popular punching bags. Most listeners will skip through “Skate Boy” while staring at the cover that features a Pac Man ghost in a backwards baseball cap. But despite all the critical flack hailed his way, Soulja Boy is still here. So when he boasts, “2012, my year,” you know he ain’t disappearing any time soon, skateboard or not.
DX Consensus: “Just a Mixtape”
Of course it’s “Just a Mixtape”. It’s Soulja Boy.
The cover is the only thing nice about this tape.
Word. That cover is dope.
LOL not even DX want it to rate it cuz its the worst of the worst hahahaha there are no words to describe this shit hahaha
Garbage mixtape for a trashy ass rapper
it’s not even rated, that goes to show how wack soulja boy is
They don’t “rate” mixtapes, they have a “consensus” at the bottom.
can you give SBeezy some credit? he has a big following. although this mixtape sucked, your review doesnt give due credit to sbeezy and the career he has developed.
Yeah a real big following, how much did his last album sell again? hahahahhaha
and comparing him to Mike Jones? really? how long was mike jones around ? like one year?
this mixtpae hot, can’t wait until the album come out. soulja boy doing his thing right now……….
Pffffffff Wahahahahahaha your comment make me laugh so Hard!!!!
Dope, this kid is carrying the hip hop game on his back right now.
are you retarded
Why was this reviewed?
Wow you can tell by the album cover soulja boy is not moving on to try and focus even more on the 6-12 age demographic! With these lyrics, thats pathetic! I understand why tho, his buzz came and went fast in the hip hop game

Alright look, I’m not a HUGE Soulja Boy fan BUT i will say that I actually enjoyed listening to this mixtape. Like I seriously found myself nodding my head an enjoying this until the last 3rd on the tape. I’d give it a 3.
NO
it was cool to me
Man this was a good mixtape. better than anything out right now. as far as his last album sales, fuck that. sure selling high is good be he aint worried about selling recordsand his label aint complain. he gettin money elsewhere ovbiously. and what are all you negitave commenters doing? nothing. can you make a platnum album? can you write and produc a grammy nominated hit a 16? can you make a million dollars at 16? and you have multi #1 hits? can you have a lot of people debat about you (good or bad, the still talking about you)? can you set the record for most ringtones sole? and can you do it by yourself like he did? fuck the person who reviewed this, the ovbiousl dont know his fan base or how good and popular his music is. so the whole review is not relevant.
