Does Soulja Boy Tell'em have to watch his back online?
Justin Bieber has taken SB's digital playbook (YouTube, Twitter, etc.) and used it to catapult him to success. But when the two Twitter rivals — SB has more than 2 million followers to Bieber's gang of more than 4 million — connected to shoot a Nickelodeon movie earlier this year, they discovered they were actually fans of each other's work.
"He told me how he liked my songs and stuff like that," Soulja Boy revealed during "RapFix Live" on Thursday (August 19). "And I was really going off the stuff I saw on YouTube," he told host Sway of the Biebs. "His YouTube views was up there, and for me coming off of YouTube, that's crazy ... for him to be younger than me and have that amount of people tune in to him."
But while SB didn't make any plans, at least on-air, to collaborate with Bieber, he did accept an offer to record together from last week's "RapFix Live" guest, Lloyd Banks.
Meanwhile, the 20-year-old rapper is putting the finishing touches on his forthcoming album, which is set for a fall release. His tentative next single is the Boi-1da-helmed "Speakers Going Hammer."
"Basically, it's all about the sound of the music," SB told MTV News last month about the track. "I got bars on this one. First verse, second verse, all bars — another anthem, as far as the hook. The hook is catchy. The video is gonna match the song perfect. And it's another hit.
How did it feel to fumble a written verse?!!3 TIMES!!..Then you asked if you could curse so you could freestyle, and when Sway said "NO" you CURSED in your written rap?!hahaha!Man that Rap fix was HILARIOUS!!Thanks for putting a smile on my face soulja toy!
