Soulja Boy Tells Em about Anime photo

First, it was Kanye West who used famed anime artist Takashi Murakami for his 'Good Morning' video, and now it seems more rap artists are coming out with their love for anime. The latest, is Soulja Boy Tell Em, who takes his love for anime to his twitter account, which has stated his love for various anime including Death Note, Afro Samurai, and Cowboy Bebop.

He recently released a mixtape that focuses on the Death Note theme, which I am sure Tsugami Ohba, writer of the manga, will absolutely eat up. Hit the jump for a track off the Death Note mixtape and a song that professes his love for anime. At one point he just starts listing all the Dragon Ball Z characters he looks like. Ah yes, life is too short not to enjoy it like Soulja does.

This is why we cannot have nice things.
A double facepalm is needed here.
Here is what I think:
His Voice is like Sandpaper to the Brain.
His "Ryhmes" like Molecular Acid.

I say we send him to Mars and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Cannot unhear. :(
He likes anime... who're we to judge how he expresses it? Oh yeah, the Otaku Community! Nvm XD But anyways: I like that he enjoys anime and it's the thought that counts.
Sounds like he is extremely drunk.
Rubbish.
Oh boy this is gonna be good.
I'd like to see Soulja Boy influence the rap community (see: wiggers) and see a bunch of kids trying to be tough with their Naruto headbands.
Oh god, it gets worse. He did a song called "Bitch, I Look Like Goku". Not really, but that's the chorus:

Wow, still can't believe my article on MB was sited (I think that's when I started working there). Sans the point, I was coming in thinking "Hey this is going to be better than his regular material." I then listened to the beat and though "Okay, it could work." Soon as he started "rapping"(and I use the term loosely, it just fell apart.

Souja Boy, leave the anime to Pharell, Lupe Fiasco, and Kanye.
I don't even think the mainstream can take seriously a man who forgets to wipe the semen off his glasses.

In other news, isn't Gurren Lagann great?
and i love how he did a round up of all the adult swim anime and calls himself the anime master. lol but he leaves out bleach? i guess he's a REAL anime fan since he doesn't watch one of the big shounen titles.

thanks for this post. i needed a good laugh tonight.
Got my anime swag on!
Great. First he ruined music. Then he ruined video games by talking about Braid. Now he's ruined anime. What else will he ruin in my life?
My brain hurts.
How...er, interesting...

Seriously, that man somehow destroys everything he touches with his vocal chords.
The difference between Kanye and Soulja boy is that Soulja boy sucks and always has.
Words cannot express how I feel right now

If he loves it he loves it....cant knock him for that...but he is still a shitty rapper...
oh god, please...

you know what.. it won't be long until we have a sea of posers running around pretending they are 'into' anime and otaku stuff now, just to say their unique and hip. I guarantee that this idiot could market his newfound craze to his silly brainless followers, and eventually it will be an epidemic, much like the silly scene kids with their vampire obsessions....

but for all those who are with anime for the long run can relax, because this much is certain- this anime "faze" WILL die out, hopefully along with rappers pretending they are "rockstars".

and to shoulder-boy, I say this: If I ever catch any of MY anime in YOUR ugly mouth, all hell shall break loose.
Well, guess I know who I can test out my Athena Exclamation on
Is there anything Soulja Boy CAN'T ruin?

The man has a super power.
Huh. So today's the day I stop loving anime. Wasn't expecting that.
Oh Soulja, why must you destroy everything I love. I thought I'd get into anime because surely I wouldn't run into you here... but alas.
In case you haven't had enough of Soulja Boy crossing over to this realm, he has said he wants his own manga series. I'm sure it will be a classic.
This reminds me of that one R&B song that was linked to a forum somewhere that stole the melody from dearest.

However now this is proof that the song loli loli is indeed based off of the loli's we love. Only a matter of time before 36 mafia lets us know that they are lolicons.
Is there any way to erase this from existance?
I just read the reviews to know that it wasn't worth the twenty seconds I would actually bother to use listening to this. :P THank you foolish people!! X3
everyones writing hate mail over at youtube...

Superior
Soulja Boy has officially crushed everything I loved...
Both suck bad. Thats all that needs to be said.

Alright what the hell..... I didn't put that photo on that post..... Damn no editing posts.
>>Waiting for "END OF ANIME, NOW IT'S SHIT" to pass in a couple weeks.
diz bitch can't rap for nuthin
@gaolin:
Come on, now. It may be 5 in the morning, but you could at least put just a little effort into it.
Souja boy loves anime: because there aren't already enough reasons to kill myself.
Excuse me. I need to go bleach my brain of that horribleness.
Proof that natural selection is little more than a passing phrase to be used in history books.
Facepalm does not do this justice....

*facewall*

Seriously though, even after sincerely trying to make out what the hell he's talking about in the Death Note one, I see pretty much no relation to the show whatsoever... I want the past 8 minutes of my life back...
@EVERYONE HATING

listen here you shallow virgins,even if souja boi isn't your thing you need to respect the fact that he is a fellow anime lover an the fact that he is expressing his love through rap(regardless of the fact if you think its good or not). So going as far as to say "Todays that day I stop loving anime", please hate to yourself.
KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
well i like him a little better now being a fellow fan and all ,but my feelings towards his music remain unchanged
@Faitera

I wouldn't personally listen to this in my car, but it's cool to see more celebritys doing things like this thats why I'm completely for it.
So what if Soujia Boy like anime. I know other celebs that like anime like Megan Fox and Robert Pattinson.

http://i46.tinypic.com/34dq1pz.jpg (Celebs that like anime including Robert Pattinson)
Yes, but do Megan Fox and Robert Pattinson have 'anime swag'?
@andree_uh

There is nothing wrong with that retarded preschool rapper liking anime. YADA YADA.

..BUT. Have you ever hated someone SO MUCH because of there sheer SHALLOWNESS and STUPIDITY... that if they had anything in common with you, you'd literally PUKE??! Soulder-Monkey here not only makes anime sound like some idiotic "swag" thing, he managed to make ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE expressing his like for it!

Aside from that, he's just stupid. He better not ever make a song about the Girl Who Leapt through Time. Please excuse my "HATING"> X(
@mdo7

So your missing my point completely, thats great that you found a list of celeb's that like anime,I can google too. What I was getting across was that there is nothing wrong with expressing ones interest in anime, and obviously soulja boi is proud of it, and I support any celebrity or reg person who outwardly goes out of their way to show it. I *facepalmed* at the 30+ shallow comments of hate because he did express himself.

So what I don't understand is how you took offense to what I said
