Soulja Boy Taking a Swing at Manga; Rap Fans Happy He's Disporting Himself

By Ani DotME 1 year, 6 months ago

Shout out to the folks at Geekosystem for putting this headache into my brain for all to see.

Apparently, LCD rap phenom Soulja Boy is feelin’ the way of the 'me, so to speak, and has not only referenced it with his Death Note mixtape (pictured above) but is also throwing around the idea of starting a manga based on his life.

Here’s what he said on his DeviantArt page:

I’m sitting here thinking of ideas and concepts for a manga/anime… The ones that mostly had my attention in my life would be Death Note, Cowboy Beebop, Full Metal Alchemist, Case Closed, Bleach, & Naruto.. I was thinking how I could fit into the anime world so PERFECTLY mannn I swear I could be a young new fresh *Goku*….. I may sound crazy or you might just don’t see my vision …

I had an idea of me in the year 3054 flying cars, floating cities, underwater civilizations. And there is an evil dude thats controlling the world through fear and power. And then I come in and murk his ass and save the day and become the youngest hero lol…. How does that sound? Quite an imagination huh? Think about it though futuristic effects, bullet time, fights, shootouts, the whole 9 lol im just brainstorming!

But mark my words ONE DAY I will complete my vision.. ha ha.

Prospective titles include: “I Got Robbed Because People Found Out Where I Lived On Youtube”, “Can You Believe That KRS-One Went to Bat For Me?”, and my personal favorite “Please, Please Stop, Dude. You’re Rich. We Get It.”

That last one didn’t quite fire off OK, but I’m sticking with it out of hope. Below are two songs referencing his love for the culture. As the original GS post pointed out, his taste isn’t bad, so who knows.

By the way, is anybody else amused that I can go to DevArt both for escapist nerd-porn AND Soulja Boy? That’s the scariest concept ever. Their servers must run on the blood of the devil himself and be staffed by all the oni that were running around in Yu Yu Hakusho.
