Quantcast



Granted, it's a ridiculous use, but it's something! Yes, rapping sensation (they still call it rap, right?) and videogame expert Soulja Boy has actually found something to do with the New Xbox Experience -- he's made a music video out of it.

Mr. Boy's new song "Grind On" features the Braid hating sensation strutting his stuff in Avatar form. He doesn't really do much, just spins around and mouths along to his delightfully charming little ditty. That's about it really. 

Ultimately this video is a waste of your time ... but I'd say that's in the spirit of the NXE.

Jim Sterling's posts flood Dtoid more and more every day with negativity and borderline bigotry. It's making it harder and harder for me to read this site.

A shame, it used to be by far my favourite game blog out there.

Oh yea, God forbid someone makes fun of Soulja Boy. That tool is a waste of oxygen.

Jim Sterling's trollbase's posts flood DToid more and more ever day with negativity and [s]borderline[/s] retardism. It's making it harder and harder to read Jim's often quality posts.

A shame, his are some of my favourite.

(But seriously, this is VideoGameNews, kind of. Anybody could have posted it, not just lovable Jimmles.

I've been here for two years. If you haven't been able to get over it by now, you have issues.

Soulja Boy is like Jack Thompson, we need to stop giving him free press.

You have to wonder if the boy's genuinely a lover of games and loves to include them in his media or just has a very clever record label who want to exploit the gamer market...

Is that too conspiracy theory-ish?

Every court needs a clown. Soulja Boy just needs a good jester hat and maybe a decorated cane with his face on it. I'm sure Microsoft pays him to dance for their amusement, surely they could pony up to get him a nice hat with bells. Maybe some matching curly socks as well?

Jingle lingle ling! NXE is sweet! Wee hee hee!!!

Heh, but it's a blog, he's a tool, and it's a slow news day. It's also amusing. If you can't laugh at it, does that make you a tool too?

I'm kidding Jim(and everybody). I was being fecetious. The intent was to mock defend soulja boy, but I failed.

For the record, I actually enjoy your posts, you have a certain type of sardonism that works very well most times, keeps me entertained during the workday.

Apologies if anyone took offense.

He doesn't hate Braid! He said it's like Mario, "if you like to smoke or if you like to drink or if you like to get high." I think he does all three, and Mario comparisons are high praise! SOULJA BOY LOVES BRAID, TELL 'EM!

Soulja boy is garbage and id knock every one of his teeth out if I met that scrawny no talent $#*%# anywhere physically.

And this is a waste of resources. But since Jim posts more important things usually I guess its excuseable for a laugh at one of the most pathetic excuses for spending a couple million dollars since the invasion of Iraq.

Destructoid is a blog. Jim gets to post stuff like this and in turn you get to voice your opinion. You have, so get over yourself.

Lol, I'm reading Destructoid while listening to "The Chronic". It just further reinforced my opinion that "Mr Boy" has zero talent whatsoever.

I can't wait to see the critical panning his videogame gets, if only to savour his delicious butthurt.
