The DJ the industry hates to love meets the rapper hip-hop loves to hate. Released today, the DJ Drama and Soulja Boy mixtape Gangsta Grillz: Follow Me is already causing a stir. Mostly, people seem surprised that they can stomach it. To DJ Drama's credit, he's built a career off escalating otherwise unknown or unappreciated MCs to another stratosphere (see Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane).
As for Soulja Boy, he sounds more like Soulja Mane this time out. You'll find no instructional dance tracks here. Far from the two profanity-free albums released via Collipark Music/Interscope, the 18-year-old attempts a more menacing flow. On track 9, "Love & Hate," he raps: "Keep a pistol in my lap as I ride throgh my projects/ cuz a nigga might try to rob meh."
Imagine that, apparently Soulja Boy is wary of Atlanta's Perception of Crime®, too.
UPDATED 11:58 a.m. 6/12/09: If you're bored out of your mind and trying to avoid work until quitting time, here's a treat. Soulja Boy and Bow Wow are video streaming live from first class aboard a plane, destination unknown. They're having crepes for lunch.
