Gillie Da Kid and Soulja Boy Beef

Yea, Philly rapper, Gillie Da Kid is in a serious war of words with Soulja Boy right now. It started out when Gillie put up an Instagram post claiming that Soulja Boy wore fake jewelry. SB then threatened him what a series of tweets...some as bad as hims saying he would kill Gillie. Hmm! I guess Soulja Boy is nolonger a 'boy', but would he actually kill someone? Even if he would, would he be saying that for the whole world to know? Anyway, check out his tweets dissing Gillie Da kid below.











Below is what Gillie Da Kid had to say about the series of verbal assaults from Soulja Boy. 


"You don't want me to slap blood in your mouth, nigga. You better go back on Twitter and say you sorry to the OG, nigga... I don't do publicity stunts. Man came on Twitter and said he'd slap me so I found that amusing 'cause considering that if you slap me, what hospital's going to put your fucking hands back on?"  (Forbez DVD Interview)

Gillie went on to speak on how shocked he was at the threats Soulja Boy threw at him on Twitter. 
"I had to read that like 10 times... like are you serious? Soulja Boy's going to slap me? He better be hacked before I catch his ass and hack him." (Forbez DVD Interview)

Soulja Boy's Net Worth (2014)

Soulja Boy currently has a net worth of $20 million. Most of Soulja Boy's money comes from his music sales. Although he has released three albums since he got in the game in 2007, and just his debut album (souljaboytellem.com) was a commercial success (selling over a million copies to date); He makes a lot of money from the sales of singles off his albums. He also is into fashion, and other businesses. According to Forbes, in 2010 alone, he made $7 million from his various businesses.






Soulja Boy, who's real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, started making music at an early age of 14 when his Dad set up a studio for him. He released his first hit single (Crank That) and an underground album at 16, in 2007, and he hasn't looked back ever since.

Soulja Boy Reacts to Low Sales of Last Album (DeAndre Way)

Soulja Boy recently commented on the low sales of his DeAndre Way album, which was dropped last year November. The album sold lower than his 2 previous albums. His first (Souljaboytellem) sold 113k first week, and the second (iSouljaBoyTellem) sold 46k first week- but this particular album sold 13k first week, and i guess it really got to him. He made it huge in 2007 when he had a hit with his single, Crank That (Soulja Boy), which went and sold in excess of a million in ring-tones.
The DeAndre Way
Read what he had to say below-

"Honestly, I shut down for a week [after my album dropped]. I wasn't talking to nobody, I wasn't talking to management, and I wasn't talking to the label," Soulja explained in an interview. "I wasn't picking up nobody's calls. I went like that for a week. I was in a state of confusion. I needed answers. I was doing this concert in Hawaii for my fans and then I was in Hawaii for a week. I wouldn't have been able to go platinum first week anyway, because the label only shipped like 18,000 copies. So I wasn't able to do gold first week or even 100k, none of that. They only put like 8,000 units in Best Buy. It was crazy. I didn't know all of that though. I was just going off of, 'My album's going to be in stores, so I'm going to promote it as much as I can.' I'm not the type of person to just be out like, 'Hey, my label did this and I was in a situation with that.' But I don't want to get caught up in record-label-artist drama or nothing like that. I just want to keep everything cool to make music, that's all." (Complex)

I don't think it has anything to do with the labels, i just guess his time was over. Even at his peak, he was just able to sell 900k copies total of his first album, so it is not like he was huge on album sales. He was huge on ring tone sales, that is where he sold millions, and i guess that is how it would continue to be. You see the downward  regression with the album sales? First 113, then 46, which is like half; and then 13, which is a little less than half of the last.

Game Subliminally Disses Soulja Boy

Game just dissed Soulja Boy Subliminally on twitter- He didn't go direct and mention his name or nothing, but it is clear who he is talking to.



Read below:

"I f#cks wit my fans & they f#cks wit ME. it's funny how n!ggaz be havin like 8,342,017 followers but can't sell 15,000 albums.," Game tweeted Thursday (December 16) night.
"That's like a n!gga they can't bench press his own weight. I guarantee I will match my followers in UNITS sold when RED drop. #thinkRED"


Well, for one thing, i know Game would match his twitter followers with the amount of records he sells, because Game has about 159,000 followers. Game has definitely sold more than that in the past. His last album, LAX, sold 239,000 copies in its first week- it dropped in 2008.

My question is; when is RED dropping? Game, you need to drop that album before all your fans forget you and start riding with some one else.

SHOULD ALBUM SALES BE THE YARDSTICK FOR MEASURING A GOOD ALBUM.

I was telling one of my brother's friend how hot nas's new album(untitled) is and the next thing he asked me was howmany million copies it has sold. I told him that it had only sold about 500,000 copies, and he felt it would not be worth listening to. His belief is that once an album sells millions of copies, then it is a tight album, and vice versa.
People should know that a lot goes into making a sellable albums, and you cannot say one person has the right formula. 5o cents first album sold 5million copies in the u.s alone, and 11 million worlwide. That was 2003, this is 2009, and he knows he can't do those kind of numbers again. When he dropped the album(get rich or die trying), he was the gangster that had been shot nine times and survived, he was a new rapper co-signed by two rap legends(eminem and dr dre), he had a lot of marketing going on for him at interscope, and also to add that he was dropping some heavy rap bars.
All the factors i mentioned above, helped him greatly to archieve the status he reached with album sales, but you can not ride on the same formula for ever, and also, there is a thin line between love and hate. 5o's third album, "Curtis" sold just 1.2 million compared to the 5 million his first album sold, and the 4.5 million his second one sold.


So you cannot completely place emphasis on album sales to judge how good an album is. The album sales just has to do with the portion of the population that like your element of music, whether it makes them dance, or they like the gangstar persona you showcase in your rap, or they like your videos, or they like the fact that you have a lot of money, and want to assossiate with you. It does not mean your album is flawless, because when those same people get tired of you, then you would sell no more.
I believe if you are solely out to get the money in the rap game, you would surely get it, but your type of music would have a life span. Nelly's first album sold 8 million copies in 2000, 8 years later(2008), his "brass knuckles" album which he dropped last year has only done just above 200,000 copies. That does not imply that nelly was out to get the music, but his style is not just the conventional type, and that is what got people back then, plus the vibe his music had. "Lloyd bank's" first album sold over a million copies, his second album had more promotion and more expensive videos, but barely did 300,000. Right now, i dont think he would get a budget for another album.
Rappers that pay more attention on giving the audience good quality music, irrespective of what the dj's want to bump, or what the kids want to dance to, might not sell that much, but would always be relevant to hiphop. Because, as lil kim said in one of her verses, "you new rappers show up, but like jeans, you'all fade out".
Rappers that stay true to the game like scarface, nas, jadakiss, eminem, ............ this rappers have skill, flow, message and would always be relvant.

Soulja boy made a killing in 2007 with his dance rap song, he dropped his second album last year, and nobody is hearing about it. It has not even sold up to 200,000 copies. Fat joe's album sold just 100,000 copies under an independent label(koch records), and some of my customers did not want to buy the cd, till i played it for them. We did not skip one song. The album should be concidered as one of the best hip hop albums for last.

So i would say, never judge an album by the sales, listen to it and judge it yourself.
