SouljaBoy, Selling Records or Selling Hype?

So thats the question is SouljaBoy about to fall off or has he already fallen off. He gets massive views of his YouTube videos and his shows seem to be packed, but really does he do that many shows? Do YouTube views translate into sales? Well it looks like the answer to that is no. This past week SouljaBoy’s sophmore album came in at #43 with only 46,000 units moved. Thats a big drop off from what was expected and all the hype that was being sold.
Anyone remember SouljaBoy’s platinum in a week video campaign? Now that was some funny shit right there, the boy sold so much hype that he bought into it himself. How can you be everywhere and not move units even during the holiday season when everyone is buying? How can you publicity stunt and a bird ass video on AP news about being a better role model and still not move units. Ill tell you how. You sold hype not good music and you sold it to the least loyal crowd of all. You sold bullshit not hip hop and now they’re not buying you because you’re old. Go get your 15 cents on YouTube snap music dancing ho.
