Soulja Boy Is Sorry For Telling The Troops To Eff Off
The grade school gutter gremlin is at it again. Fresh off of his jet plane publicity stunt, Soulja Boy is once again getting his name on Twitter feeds by telling the army troops to "fuck off" in his new song called "Let's Be Real." The entire poignant lyric that will soon be featured in a book of beloved American poetry along with works from Maya Angelou and E.E. Cummings goes like this:
"Fuck the FBI and the army troops. Fighting for what? Be your own man.I'll be flying through the clouds with green like I'm Peter Pan."
You can burn two of your five senses by watching the video for this piece of shit mess here, but you'd be better off watching the grainy video of you dancing to "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" in your parent's garage so I'd go with that instead.
But anyway, after several members of the military and veterans dissed this generation's MC Hammer for dissing them for fighting for his right to diss them, he made his publicist/cousin take a break from their full-time job as a check cashing clerk to write this apology statement to Global Grind for him. You know this didn't from the same brain that shat out Kiss Me Thru the Phone.
"As an artist, I let my words get the best of me. Sometimes there are things that we feel, things that we want to express, and when we put them on paper and speak them out loud, they can come out wrong," he wrote in a statement. "When I expressed my frustration with the US Army, not only did my words come out wrong, I was wrong to even speak them. So, I write this to give my sincerest apology to all members of the United States military services, as well as their families that were offended by my most recent lyrics.As a young man who grew up in the post-9/11 era, I have watched our country fight two wars that seem like they are never going to end. I have seen thousands and thousands of our brave men and women get killed in battle and often times, I think for what? A lot of people in this country are struggling to make ends meet and I think a lot about what if we had never gone to war. Where would our economy be? Our schools, our after-school and work programs, our streets? I mean, damn, 48 people got shot in New York City just this past weekend ... in 3 days ... I'm not saying that it is just because of a bad economy, but at a certain point we have to take care of our own people.
In no way would I ever want to offend those who are protecting our freedoms ... a lot of homeboys who I grew up with, a lot of people who come from the neighborhoods we live in ... In no way do I want to hurt any of our honorable soldiers who put their lives at risk, regardless of how they feel about the two wars we fight in. I am just frustrated that we haven't been able to bring you all home quick enough and my frustration got the best of me. I am deeply sorry.
~Soulja Boy
I was with (not really) Anarchista Boy until he called himself an "artist."
Ditto everyone below.
He sums up #1 reason to bring back the draft..
Yeah I bet he even KNEW we were at war.
Soulja Boy can eat a fucking dick. I'm in the military and I am beyond pissed at this. Does he know what kind of sacrifices people in the military have to make? For fuck's sake, our PRIMARY DUTY is to go to war and die for our country if necessary. Someone needs to send him to the desert so he can see what it's like.
Or to Libya. I have a feeling that will be our next destination.

he's right. you weren't drafted. why have we spent billions on war when so many working class families are now going to food pantries in the "greatest country" in the world? uum.. because rich people, i.e the bushes, care about the bottom line and know timmy from arkansas will enlist to "serve his country y'all" while private school kids stay alive and profit off of the oil we actually wanted while invading. ha. oh, but keep being proud of our country at bbq's and parades, that's what counts on the world stage.

My headbanging mother didn't enlist in the Armed Forces, but worked in the VA Hospital for years as a civilian. She cared for those who were wounded in body and mind,including her brother.
Soldiers who profit from war? Someone has been watching too many films about the French Foreign Legion.

I hope I didn't offend you by asking questions about this. What you said about fluency in a foreign language intrigued me; linguistic ability was a major part of everything I've done since the age of fifteen, and damned sure came in handy every time I have had to adjust my plans. Knowing a language the FBI needs sounds like a big asset.
Getting into college is fairly complicated,but I'm not sure that letters of recommendation are the most important part of the application. Whatever you decide to do will work because you are a strong,sharp woman.

So soldiers are admirable for profiting off war,
............
profiting off war? are you talking about the lousy barely 1k a month my son makes? or are you still under the impression that they get benefits? Because my husband lost his health insurance at work and was DENIED VA health care because there is NO money for that anymore even though he served 21 years.
so, if you know somewhere where we are supposed to be profiting could you kindly show me the way? cause we must be standing in the wrong line.
and, they don't need your admiration thanks.
Halliburton's CEO, of one of the largest oil/defense contractors and Cheney's old company, makes about 30 million dollars a year. That's just one man. You and I pay for this. This company is making billions off these wars, and billions off us.
The soldiers, the ones who risk their lives fighting, make peanuts.
lolwut? Silly child.
I never supported Bush/Cheney's Middle Eastern adventures. Still, Gee Dubya sounds quasi-literate compared to Soulless Boi. How did this fool decide that the troops started the wars? And if homely (typo, and it stays) is both an artiste and an independent mind, why does he not stick to his proverbial guns? Phony rappers, indeed...

"So soldiers are admirable for profiting off war, and that's morally OK. But making money off selling drugs to people is morally repugnant."
Still laughing at the notion that soldiers somehow profit from the war. Ever look at what these poor bastards actually get for RISKING THEIR DAMN LIVES?

Thank you!! The fact that in the Army most soldiers under the rank of E 5 (sergeant) with 2 kids would qualify for foodstamps tells you just how big the profits are for them.....

Agreed. We have problems here at home that need addressing. They've taken our money and dumped it into the pockets of the war profiteers. We've been sold a pack of lies, to keep their buddies rich. Even people in the military will tell you that. But they keep us afraid, of the "terrorists," to justify their greed.
Buildings fell, and that was a horrible tragedy, but do you really think a small group of religious zealots is going to take over our country? Fuck, they wouldn't even make it through Eastern Texas. We have guns and we know how to use them.
The real war is here. People are losing their houses, their jobs. Let those countries deal with their own problems. Use the defense contractors to build our infrastructures, use that money to develop technology so we're not dependent on oil any longer. The old way of doing business isn't working. Bring our men and women home.
So soldiers are admirable for profiting off war, and that's morally OK. But making money off selling drugs to people is morally repugnant. Ugh. I say, FUCK SOCIETY. People are all screwed up. Guess that's why we have to have pigs and military fascists in the first place. It's like a neverending cycle.

I wanted to go FBI but I don't have the college education for it. If I could, I'd go back to college. I know the FBI does need agents who speak the one foreign language that I speak.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Would it be possible to have the FBI pay for your college education? Fluency in a foreign language is an extremely valuable skill.
It's not so much a money issue. It's an issue of being a single mom with two kids. So I can't just go off to college. There is also the issue of college applications. You need letters of recommendation. I couldn't get those even when I was in high school.
How tall is he?
from that pic I get the impression of maybe 5'4" and dying of some wasting disease
He's got a great future ahead of him, obscurity, bankruptcy and poverty.
I love how he's saying all the money put into our wars could be put into education
erm
he's a 9th grade drop out and sounds like he hasn't made it past the 3rd grade.
I'm very, very, very much anti-war, but damn if I don't have respect for those who put their lives on the line so that I have the freedoms and abilities to do things like simply speak my mind on a damn gossip website run by a homosexical. In some countries everybody involved here would have been shot in the head on site.
He's a fucking rapper. If you don't want to be offended, listen to classical. You vote with your dollars, speak it that way. If rappers had to apologize for what's in their songs every time they offended someone, rap wouldn't exist.
Women are killed, raped and beaten, treated like trash in the lyrics coming from high-thumping stereos all over the country. I don't care, maybe I should. Where's our apology?
@WhiskeyRiverGirl: You probably won't see this-but you're awesome and I'm over in Quantico!
sorry but this war and all wars (except for WWI and WWII) had a reason..the rest are all about oil and money and selfish bastards like W and Cheney....who I loathe with an undying passion. Sorry, Soulja may have offended the rednecks red white and blue, go ahead and hate...but all wars suck and this one..get out of Afghanistan and Iraq already...I mean we don't want to leave because the terrorism factor...sorry, we need to stop pouring money into these wars and create some damn jobs up in here! HOpe I offeneded everyone but the cost of lives, money, broken bodies, keeps going up...and we are now in a true depression...and most if not all is from these stupid ass wars...so shoot me I dont give a f....wars are a rich selfish man's game...o.k. enough ranting...this is a gossip site...my bad...

Our son did two tours in Iraq but I don't need to defend him to anyone.

Where to even begin answering is the problem with this question.

Bitch lost me at "As an artist".
Not sure hopping around town with a fancy chain and a crew called "Sod" is in his best interest. Or, maybe it is...
--thanks awfully--
"Fighting for what"
Your right to say that without having your tongue cut out and shown to you, you piece of shit.
I have uncles and cousins who served and were in both WWII and Vietnam. I married a man who served 21 years in the Army, and served Desert Storm. I currently have a son who is away from us as he serves in the Air Force, and I pray nightly he doesn't get shipped out.
I believe in this lil runts freedom to say whatever the hell he wants....it's those sorts of freedoms that make it possible for me not to cry every family gathering because my son isn't with us. (although I do anyway)
That being said, I also have the right to say this son of a bitch can kiss my fat American Ass. Fuck him.
As somebody whose best friend up and joined the army and did 3 tours in Iraq and came back with a blown-out knee I must say I totally don't believe all this "support your troups" bullshit. I'm sorry but we don't have a draft, and these wars are about oil money and corporations interests, they have nothing to do with freedom or defending the United States. I don't think we should have our patriotism questioned just becaue we don't blindly support people who voluntarily joined the army durng a war hawks administration
Why does everything have to be a fucking conspiracy????
Okey dokey....for those of you who choose not to believe in the "Dumbing Down of America" theory, this should be proof. Yes, he might be in the lowest percentile but there are fools who PAY to listen to this moron.
I started reading this thread and now I have to stop. I can't with 9/11 conspiracy theories. You're entitled to your opinion but I truly get nauseous and angry reading it. Sorry.

The longer I live, the more I'm convinced we've all been cast in the Marx Brothers film 'Duck Soup.'

Peace and good thoughts to all. I'm baking a meat and five cheese lasagna for dinner, and my border collie is licking his chops and foaming at the mouth over the aroma.
I wish people had the backbone to defend what they say. Everybody throws out empty apologies.
I don't like the military, either. You're American by birth. You don't have to buy into idealogies and "Support Our Troops" hoopla just because the majority does. Fuck em. Have your own opinions.

I am all for freedom of speech, but where was my freedom of speech, when they wouldn`t let me on base in 2004 with my Anti-Bush shirt? Guess talking shit about the IDJIT in charge is less tolerated than talking shit about 1.5 million armed forces who have to follow the idjits orders....

@ KA: So let me get this straight. If someone's opinions, ideas or ideologies either somewhat or greatly differ from your standpoint, and without entirely reading through said comments, as you clearly stated, you instantly judge that person to be either MENTALLY ILL or a TROLL?
Jesus Christ, I've seen some fucking ignorant comments on this site, but yours is amongst the most FUCKING IGNORANT, close-minded ones I've ever seen.
It's mindsets like yours why America is in the fucking crapper.
The comments from Rotten Egg and KA remind me that Public Enemy combined an instinct for social protest with the language of the 'hood better than this little twerp ever will.
Yeah, Fuck The Police was NWA's best song, but Ice Cube was a bit of a poser.
im not reading all of the comments here because what i did read, looks like mental illness or serious trolling. or whatever the fuck some of you have been smoking. anyhow, soulja boy here - fuck if i know any of his music - hmm, doesnt he have a right to say whatever he wants? is it truly dangerous he said all of this. doesn't anyone remember "fuck the police"? i can understand being scared about that one, might have made some narrow minded idiot target police. but who wants to go up against anyone in the military? in any case, he trolled everyone. he wins because everyone is talking about him now. plenty of kids will be eating this shit up, now that it's controversial. do we not have better things to do in our lives than to get in fucking spaz mode over some asshole rapper and his stupid lyrics? seriously, 6200+ people have died in these wars since 9/11 (yes i watch nancy grace sometimes, ok?). they didnt die for the us to be censored, they died so we can all enjoy our freedoms, and that includes saying whatever the fuck we want to say. you cant tell me there isnt racist and homophobic slurs being thrown around all day long between some of these military people - it happens everywhere. they have a right to say that shit, as much as i want to punch them in the fucking brain for it. so you're going to tell me we get to pick and choose who says what now? sorry, that's censorship and if i want to live in a place where the government dictates what i say and do, i'll move there.

@ E-Nasty: I care what others think of 9/11 and the truth, hence my lengthy posts and no, DON'T care what others think of me. Can you process that? This post is intentionally non-lengthy as to not activate some people's obvious and inherent ADD.
BTW, my support bra is made of tin foil, too, as are my panty liners.
The hippies are not in the same "level" as this dude? of course they are! what do these have in common? easy: protest. The only difference is the language used. He's just an illiterate ghetto dude using ghetto "poetry". But I guess back then it was OK to bitch about such things because it was the "it" thing to do, while today is a sin to talk shit about the troops and intelligence agencies.
He should've rap about LSD, shroom trips, peace and free love with pseudo-intellectual poetry instead. It would've been more socially accepted.
DixieMcCall:
I don't know much about that, but I wouldn't put it past greedy power people. I'm not a supporter of conspiracy theories, specially when they are obviously half-assed (not saying this one is, by the way), but information CAN be manipulated or hidden to fit certain people's agendas so both versions could be right. Either way you look at it, it's scary because it reflects how fucked up our today is.

@ Kikichanelconspiracy: I can assure you that I am most certainly not a moronic idiot wing nut who happens to jump aboard every "conspiracy" out there. And I can assure you that I did not arrive at my hypothesis easily; I too used to label the "truthers", as you call us, as demented and out there, and had no time for their "ridiculous" theories re 9/11. But after spending the years since discussing the events with American Airlines, United Airlines, Air Canada, British Airways captains and first officers, civil engineers, ex-military personnel, etc., I changed my tune and entire outlook, not only on 9/11, but the entire geo-political global infrastructure.
I stand by my beliefs and by these people, the vast majority of whom have suffered ridicule for speaking up. But, like many of them now, and to reiterate, I truly don't care what you or others "label" us as being.
What I did was research and discuss and read and pose questions prior to arriving at where I stand today. I'm just sorry that far too many people are quick to judge, condemn, and label others (as I once did) before they themselves begin posing pertinent questions.
Will the truth ever be revealed? We certainly hope so. Until then, all I have is my opinions, my integrity, my intelligence, my humour, and my self-respect.
Signed,
A willing moronic nutbar wing nut.
War is like pregnancy. You DON'T know what it's like unless you've been through it.
