I Volunteer To Mentor Soulja Boy

By Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur (Founder www.allhiphop.com)

(Read the latest, by clicking here.) The most recent complaint has been one against the media, who he claims has it out for him. When this lament was issued (and later removed), he expressed that the media was critical of him due to his more flamboyant activities, namely an iced-out, remote-controlled Lamborghini chain. Soulja Boy himself publicized his activities though the youtube and sparked off the aforementioned “point of contention” in fans. I googled this and never saw any real disses from traditional online media.
