Soulja Boy | Before They Were Famous | UPDATED | Biggest Comeback of 2019?

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

SouljaBoy changed the game and is the founding father of making it off of the internet – plus the bag he collected off ringtones alone is still something we've yet to see be replicated At the time of this recording Soulja Boy is hot on a press run demanding the respect he feels he's never been given credit it for and to be fair the man has a point.

He was publishing his music online before SoundCloud was even a thing and performing shows in the Atlanta area while holding down a job at Burger King flipping patties. 2007 was SouljaBoy's breakout year and although his career has perhaps simmered down in the decade-plus that followed.

In fact, an old video has surfaced of Soulja Boy pumping up the crowd where he inspired a young Gazzi Garcia, aka Lil Pump.
