Soulja Boy On 106 & Drive [106 & Park / SOD Cartoon Parody Spoof][Comedy]
Three letters...L-O-L.
...I said don't laugh, he might actually do it (he fooled me the first time).I understand that he probaly was inspired by Lil's Wayne's success but Lil' Wayne had the most anticipated album of the year and plus he has been working very hard for that success but Soulja Boy has almost nothing working for him. I would think that he would try and go harder on his second album. I admit that i have not sat down and listened to him but judging from the two singles i heard "Bird Walk" and "Kiss me through the phone" I think that it is safe to say that Mr. Boy is a threat to no one.
Now go on and read something else on the site before i sing "Crank Dat".
Amazing!I don't know why Ryan Leslie is not as big as he should be.
Jamaican Hip Hop is getting bigger and bigger I just hope it contines to grows because there are many talented rappers here.
Amazing but I think that weed might have been more appropriate.
JUST SAY NO.
I know this is not new but its still hot.
I don't why but this reminds of the Alicia Keys "No One" Remix with Junior Reid.
WE GOING WE GOING WE GONE.

COCO TEA. the message that Barack Obama is bringing resonates among black, white, old and young
Following his recent Barack Obama media blitz, veteran crooner Calvin 'Coco Tea' Scott is set to record an album inspired by the US Democratic Party presidential hopeful.
"Me have a new album which me a go put out and it a go name Barack Obama," the Rastaman tells Splash during a visit to the Observer on Tuesday. Dressed in a black T-shirt, jeans, brown shoes with his locks bundled under a knitted tam, Coco Tea, who recently released Reggae Anthology: The Sweet Sounds Of Coco Tea, adds that the follow-up project is expected to hit the streets by August.
'Right now, I'm in the process of mixing all these songs. I would like to finish the album before the Democratic convention, so that hopefully I can get the opportunity to perform there," said the artiste.
The track entitled Barrack Obama was recorded three weeks ago and was last week featured on CNN and reported by mega news leaders such as The New York Times, Washington Post and The Associated Press.
"I didn't imagine it would a get so big," Coco Tea admits.
And though he professes Rastafari, a religion known for its stance against western politics, he maintains that it's nothing political but rather about Obama's message of change.
"I never say Hillary (Clinton) because the message that Barack Obama is bringing resonates among black, white, old and young. it's not about him being a black man, I just can identify with him message."
Coco Tea further endorses Obama by adding: "Me love seh him a preach withdrawing of the soldiers from Iraq. and that him a go bring change to Washington."
Though Coco Tea's track has received the most mileage of all the Obama-endorsing songs, which includes one from Calypso King The Mighty Sparrow, other industry A-listers like media mogul Oprah Winfrey and comedian Chris Rock are also a part of Team Obama.
"Me can see why Oprah endorse him, him trying to make people see a better life, and me haffi highlight that," says Coco Tea.
"I feel honoured to know that people appreciate me because I have the ability to put my thoughts on Obama into words and riddim," he adds.
Still sounding overwhelmed by the fact that "millions of people listened to [his] track on CNN," Coco Tea continues: "Usually people in [the White House] probably no used to reggae music, under normal circumstances we wouldn't get this kind of exposure."
The "exposure", Coco Tea believes, ought not to go unnoticed.
"The government needs to acknowledge it when these things happen because this can help to build our tourism product," Coco Tea says. "This is a big thing for reggae music, it mean that Washington is listening and that's no joke business."
He is also somewhat disgruntled that the American media put the song under the spotlight before the local players.
"We as artiste are not getting the recognition we suppose to get, it takes a CNN to cough before anything can gwaan yah so," adds Coco Tea, sounding mildly irritated.
Connecting to 'Yes We Can' aside, Coco Tea is not worried about the flak he's already receiving about choosing to share his political affiliation to a foreign senator, while seemingly apathetic to the concerns of 'yard'.
"We haffi concern 'bout waah gwaan up deh, because what go on there directly affect us here. you have a lot of Jamaicans out ya weh want visa," Coco Tea shares.
"Right now, America supposedly a go through a recession an' watch how that a go seriously affect us down here."
You see its not only in Jamaica that people fight with shoes.
For the next year, Akon will have to split his time between rocking the stage and preaching about the evils of violence and the gang life. The "Troublemaker" singer appeared in court in Fishkill, New York, on Wednesday morning (December 17) to plead guilty for throwing a teenage fan off the stage at a concert in the summer of 2007, according to the Poughkeepsie Journal.
Akon reached a deal to plead guilty to second-degree harassment, a violation, instead of the more serious charge of endangering the welfare of a child. In December 2007, Akon had originally pleaded not guilty to the charges that were filed after the singer tossed 15-year-old fan Anthony C. Smith from the stage at Dutchess Stadium on June 3, 2007, during the annual KFEST summer concert. In the incident, which was caught on video by fans, Akon picked up Smith and tossed him off the stage during his performance.
The singer was assessed a $350 fine and ordered to serve 65 hours of anti-gang and anti-violence community service that he most complete before June. If he gets arrested within the next 12 months, he will have to reappear in the Fishkill court.
Dressed in a gray suit, powder-blue shirt, gray tie and gray overcoat, Akon was seated four rows behind Smith and his parents in the courtroom during the proceeding and was confronted by Smith's father after the matter was settled.
As the teen was leaving the courthouse, he reportedly walked up to the singer and shook his hand, saying, "Thanks a lot." Akon repeatedly apologized to the boy, but was interrupted by the boy's father, William Smith, who said, "You threw my son off the stage."
Smiling, Akon addressed the teen, "We never had a chance to talk."
While Akon would not comment to the paper about the case, the singer's attorney, Andrea Zellan, handed out a prepared statement as she and her client left the court.
"We are pleased that the case has been resolved," the statement said, "and Akon looks forward to putting this unfortunate incident behind him."
