We're not quite sure what Soulja Boy was thinking when he said the line, "F*ck the FBI and f*ck all the army troops," in his latest rap video, but then again, we're never quite sure what Soulja Boy is thinking.
The controversy lyrics in the Soulja Boy song called "Lets Be Real" has quickly caused a stir amongst many U.S. troops, who aren't pleased with the rappers diss towards the army.
I know of him. Little pissed about this but there's nothing I can do. I never bought anything by him (nor any other rap music) and have no plans to chang my mind anytime soon. Don't like what he said? Don't buy his CDs or tickets to his shows.
They were just talking about this on Howard Stern (I listen on my commute - yay Sirius!), which is why the thread caught my attention. And my take on this is that, yeah, it's a pretty insensitive thing to rap about... but what rap is EVER sensitive? I also believe in freedom of expression & speech, which does extend to music, so he has the right to say whatever he wants. Don't like it? Protest by not opening your wallets for his albums or concerts.

My son is active military so this really got me PO'd. The a$$ got a lot of flack from service people but from what I read a few days back in the news the following real soldier is the one that made the difference:
If the link doesn't work just google his name and you'll find places with the lines he used.
