Quantcast



 
18-year-old rapper Soulja Boy has more stuff than you. For instance, he has at least two big-screen high definition televisions that sit right next to each other in his basement. Each is hooked up to an Xbox 360 so that he can play Crackdown with his friends over Xbox LIVE. You, on the other hand, probably have to send your friend home to play Crackdown with him or her. 
 
Don't hate -- Soulja Boy earned his keep, having launched a hit (yet mostly obnoxious) single and a dance to go along with hit. He's what they call a "tastemaker" -- the kids love him, and they pay attention. Which is why Microsoft and T-Mobile decided to give him the world's only Xbox 360 Special edition Sidekick LX.
 
What is it? Well, it looks like a white Sidekick LX with Xbox 360 wallpaper, and Soulja Boy is very, very excited about having been given the only one. Because, you know, he couldn't have just gone out and bought one with his Scrooge McDuck like piles of cash he's made selling his song as a ring tone. 
 
Whether or not this Xbox 360 Special Edition Sidekick LX will come to the market or if it's just a one-off promotional item being handed out to celebrity. But one thing is for sure: if the classic saying "he who dies with the most toys wins," Soulja Boy may be in the lead. Now about that "dies" part ...

To clarify, I didn't mean that out of jealousy over an Xbox 360 wallpaper. Just fuck him in general.

Why you all be hating? Let the kid have his fun...

After all, in a few years he will probabaly be a nobody and struggling with past fame and probabaly addicted to drugs to try and cope with it.

If not and he is still famous than he sure must be doing something right and deserves respect.


Either way, I'm glad he is happy.. wish I was that happy at that age and doing so well for myself.

I was on the bus once and some nutter was playing that track again and again and again on his fuzzy little cack mobile. The worst part was he was whistling the verse due to him not knowig the words. I can't tell you how depressed I felt, literally heard it about 5 times before they got off the bus.

Fair play to Soulja Boy though, although I am not a fan at all.

Poor thing, he's getting all excited over an Xbox 360 wallpaper for a Sidekick LX. But seriously, who here understood what the hell he was saying? Also I love how his friend in the background is so quite, it's hilarious.

what I don't understand is why he's so crazy to show off something that's not all that crazy to begin with. I'd personally get tired of seeing that boring 360 wallpaper. The sounds are alright, but MS's 360 design is's a bore compared to say...Sony.

See, what I really find impressive is the fact that, because of his song, tons of kids and teens are singing "superman dat hoe" without knowing that the hell that means.

I'm not hating on the kid; good for him. He's more financially and commercially successful that I am, or ever will be. I would like to think he could get a better video camera next time, though.

They played this at my little brother's elementary school once. I had no idea that's what it meant. What's wrong with these people?

I skimmed the video and it makes me furious. Two HD tvs. This sidekick thing. His love of family guy. His cocky personality. I can't stand Soulja Boy.

I don't like his music much (at all) but I respect how he's managed to become a success, a lot of people who hate on him wish they had done what he did before he did it.

he's getting hyped about a sidekick?!? wtf?!?? is this 2004? someone should send him some xbox 360 hypercolor tshirts and slap bracelets. what a moron.

At least he's showing interest. Most people get freebies and don't even bat an eye lid.

people still care about sidekicks? wow, an entire video about a jpeg. Its just like Microsoft to hype up jpegs *cough360themescough*.

@Clance
This video is already a commercial in itself and its very likely he signed some papers that had him make this video.

He gets a cool gaming setup, but he has to listen to his shitty music. It's an even tradeoff.
