Quiet Boy, Feat. T Roc -  “She Won’t Go”

Exclusive Interview With The Real Souljah Boy

We got The Real Souljah Boy.  Matter of fact, we just got Souljah Boy, we don’t have to say the “The Real,” because a lot of hip hop purist been known what it was.  Making his debut, back in 1996, With Bone Thugs’, Mo Thug Records.  Souljah Boy has went to be apart of Multi million selling albums, and blessing the streets with his speaker blowing mixtapes.  With a lot on his mind, a new independent label, and much more music, there is no doubt that Souljah Boy is still “Off In This M****F****!!”\

SaveOurHipHop:  When did you start rapping and when did you know you could make a career out of doing it?
The Real Souljah Boy:  I started rapping when I was seven years old, Kurtis blow sugar hill and LL Cool J were my idols. Along side Michael Jackson by the time I was 13 I defiantly felt like I could make this a career-taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  Who were some of your influences?
The Real Souljah Boy:  Michael Jackson, LL, Sugar Hill, Kurtis Blow.

SaveOurHipHop:  How did you hook up with Bone Thugs, and Mo Thug Records?
The Real Souljah Boy:  Bone thugs were friends of mine; we went to school together-hustled together, gang banged together. So it was already musical connection.  Mothugs as well we were all friends-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  I think every fan hated that there was never a Souljah Boy album released on Mo Thug, but are there any unreleased material from time out floating around?
The Real Souljah Boy:  There’s defiantly a lot of unreleased material in the care of Bone Thugs. As well with my independent label Taliup ready this year to launch my blessings 09 is my year-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  When and why did you decide to leave the label?
The Real Souljah Boy:  I decided to leave MO-THUGS during the recording of the Mo Thug Family Scriptures 2 and there were many reasons why I left, can’t speak on to much for reasons of my DVD what ever happened to Mo Thug. And as you all know about the lawsuit with the Bone Thugs but I will tell you those bustas were haters and terrible business men-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  Another ex Mo Thug artist, Sin of the Graveyard Shift, said in a recent audio interview, that it had gotten so bad between you and Bone, Krayzie specifically, that some real street shit was about to go down. Can you talk about it and is any of it true?
The Real Souljah Boy:  There was a lot of tension in the city; my beef with them was a real beef -especially with Krayzie and Layzie.  Jealousy and fear of someone gettin bigger than you in music, was a problem they had to deal with and still do but you can catch that on the DVD-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  Is there any communication between you and Bone Thugs now or any artist that was on Mo Thug back at that time?
The Real Souljah Boy:  I have always supported them in there music career regardless the beef, as you can see they never supported me but that’s cool cause I always stood out anyway. And I do have plenty of communication with the original Mo Thug, Mamma Jahz from II Tru ,Synn and Gates from Graveyard Shift, Mo Heart from Poetic Hustlers and Ken Dawg have material we will release this year as well, one of the songs are on my page www.myspace.com/therealsouljahboy called Babygirl-feat-Synn and Ken Dawg, crazy hot-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  What have you been doing since you left Mo Thug?
The Real Souljah Boy:  Family man working, recording, hustlin, going to school and doing shows -waiting my turn to blow the charts into pieces, droppin mix cds for exposure and practice-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  Are you signed to anyone at the moment?
The Real Souljah Boy:  No I’m not signed but I do have my own independent label Taliup ENT. Gotta be my own boss this round-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  When can we expect to see Souljah Boy in the stores?
The Real Souljah Boy:  you can expect to see Souljah boy in the stores this summer fosho-I owe it to my fans, the fake souljahs. Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  Do you think “That Other Guy-Tell ‘Em” will make it hard for you to really come out in the stores only because this really young generation may not know the history and that you were a platinum selling, groundbreaking artist for a long time now, and might get you confused or even worse, consider you biting this new guy?
The Real Souljah Boy:  Very interesting question-no not at all as a matter of fact I think he added new ears to my music.  Because of the people who don’t know the history of me, the people who heard and read about the lawsuit I have with him and also the people who are familiar with me who speak on behalf of my name to others. He knows himself he’s not me and so does his family, friends and label heads. They all heard the songs I put on you tube-spank that Soulja Boy, we gone screw that and street shit! Oh! Yeah cant forget the song ya’ll not me-speaking to every fake individual who bit my name. So let them scream to the top of their lungs I stole his name history don’t lie and God don’t lie I’m the truth in the booth but the music gone speak for itself-lil dude already promoted the difference I’m just gone exemplify-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  Has he even acknowledged you or had any communication with you about the name?
The Real Souljah Boy:  No! Only through lawyers-go to hiphop.com

Souljah boy vs. Soulja boy. This lil guy is a great promoter isn’t he?

SaveOurHipHop:  We all know there can only be one, true, original. Is there any thing else that you working on at this time?
The Real Souljah Boy:  Yes I would like to say to all of my fans thank you for the continued support and love stay witcha boy! more to come, sorry for the delay all these years but god as been doing some work on me and its my turn now, got love for you all real music is here-cause I change with the time when time is changing ya’ll can put out ya lil albums and stuff but I’m mo famous, respect ad game cause I made ya’ll boys taught ya’ll how to rap and be heard I raised ya’ll boys-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  Are you traveling and doing shows? And if so, are you coming to Alabama anytime soon?
The Real Souljah Boy:  I will be touring especially to promote the singles/album I will be defiantly stopping in Alabama-Taliup

SaveOurHipHop:  Any last words for the many many fans of Souljah Boy?
