The devolution of Soulja Boy

I know what a lot of people are thinking, how does someone like Soulja Boy devolve. I mean this is what he started off as.



Starting off as this, it seems like it would be hard for someone to go to a lower form, but somehow Soulja Boy has manage to do this. When he first came out his appeal was to the kids, which is a good road to travel. His lyrical skills were always questioned because to sum it up he sucked. There was nothing complex about his lyrics but it appealed to who it needed to appeal to. And also with this one song he was able to gain a brand. Kids loved this dude and even some adults, I mean you could go out any night of the week and hear the song at least once at every club in Atlanta, when he was in his true prime. Now while i personally never like him as an artist at times I believe that he is an idiot savant. So now let us fast forward about two or three years, Soulja Boy puts out turn my swag which at its peak it was a theme song to everyone, but seemingly overnight he turns into this.



and this



I understand that he got a few tattoos, his clothes got a little smaller, and he traded his stupid rubber band chains in for some stupid flashy diamond chains, he started rocking gucci but I still do not understand how he changed so drastically. I assume that Soulja Boy equates being a good rapper to how much money he has, how many tattoos he has, how tight his clothes are, how outlandish his jewelery is, and how much Gucci, Prada or Louie he has. But has this helped him become a better rapper not at all. I know a lot of people are going to think I am crazy but I think that he is a far worse rapper now than he was before. He had more credibility when he was making up dances and kissing girls through the phone, now we are supposed to believe he is the hardest dude ever. Another reason that I say that he has devolved is because the style that he uses now is not his own and it is evident that he is being something he is not. Come on how are we supposed to believe that because he got some more tattoo and Gucci Mane has been on a few tracks with him that he lives a similar life to Gucci Mane. When the goons attempted to kill and rob Gucci Mane he killed one of them, however when the goons ran up on Soulja Boy they made this dude a hostage. I would not be surprised if there is some night vision footage of Soulja Boy being held hostage. Maybe Gucci is a reason for his devolution, it is true that outside forces can impact the evolution or devolution of a creature. Another reason I believe that Soulja Boy has devolved is because he has put off the fans that will make him the most money. How does he expected to sell to children when he is rapping about the weed he smokes, the hoes he has, the dudes who he might shoot, and his other garbage. Parents will not let their kids listen to that stuff, well most parents there are some who will. This dude has also said that everybody that has dissed he has crushed them. Dude come on Ice T way better rapper than you, Bow Wow still a better rapper than you, and he at least does not try to be anything he is not, Charles Hamilton ehhh still better, New Boyz suck pretty badly but not as bad as Soulja Boy, even the dude you want to be like Oj Da Juiceman dissed you. Oh wait but there have been two recent events that continue to progress his devolution. 1.Soulja Boy just got arrested, probably something he is happy about because now he has a record like his hero. He got arrested for being at an abandon building and then coming back to while the cops were still there. 2. He is growing out dreads now, come on dude, do you want to be Gucci or Wayne either way it is not you. But who knows it could turn around for him, maybe his next album will be that critically acclaimed one he is waited for the one that shows his true lyrically prowess.....Or it could be something more like this:
