And what is "meaningful?" A memory of my girlfriends and I in the car groovin or out dancing to "Turn My Swag On" is "meaningful" to me. Soulja Boy creates music that easily serves as part of a soundtrack to life - his music will forever take me back to Summer '09. While I appreciate and love poetic and masterfully written lyrics, I also REALLY enjoy and love good beats and carefree lyrics. Not all music should be the same. Diversity in music is important, as music is a reflection of the diverse people making and listening to it. Not all movies have to be "Citizen Cane" be amazing. A good Will Ferrell flick is what you want sometimes. Soulja Boy's feel-good music doesn't have anything to prove to you or anyone. How can someone even judge someone else's music choices? Doesn't everyone know by now that beauty (and music is beauty) is in the eye of the beholder? It's scary when people try to regulate what is considered beautiful or meaningful. Music is an expression of life. How dare anyone judge and condemn someone's creative expression. That is anti-freedom, anti-democratic, but, mostly, it's anti-hip-hop. I love your music, Soulja Boy. Express yourself! Does all music have to be “meaningful” to be enjoyable?

You're just that good. But IMO, the beat's dope. Damn, Q I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not. You’re just that good. But IMO, the beat’s dope.
