Soulja Boy
“1UP”
This Soulja Boy mixtape is destroying my mind. It is so freaking awesome.
There are literally 1 a million things I need to be doing right now, but I can’t bring myself to leave the area describing the apex of an equilateral triangle the legs of which end at the speakers moored at my desk. It’s so nice outside! I guess I could use headphones, but I like to feel the music.
The popular arguments for/against Odd Future 2 tend to have to do with the essential meaninglessness of their lyrics. Either you find them offensively hostile or ignorably offensive. Either way, it’s impossible to take them at face value and still talk about the music, because it would be like debating the relative merits of various interpretations of psychopathy. Either way: Not so good, so let’s just treat the patient!
With the Soulja Boy, everything already is just vacuous. (Nature, she abhors a vacuum, but I tend to like the sucking non-sound of no impact.) The production smacks and tickles like a morally decocted psychic octopus. Soulja Boy meanders like an ant dancing. Ants dance, right? To show the hive where the good flowers are…
If we’re going toward the New Nihilism (tm, btw) then I want a true leader, a real Brigham Young of intellectual fatuity. And I’ve found him in Soulja Boy. Yes.
That is forever. Step into the skin and disappear.
Hello.
