“Soulja Boy:” A self-serving apology to the troops; Update: Troops respond on Youtube

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 6, 2011 09:49 AM

So, the foul-mouthed rapper “Soulja Boy” told American soldiers to go “f**k” off in a new rap video and insulted them for not being real men.

Now, he says he didn’t really mean it — and, in fact, the reason he said “f**k” our “Army troops” is that he cares about them so much and respects them and just wants them home. Really.

More on the supposedly heartfelt apology in a moment.

The story came to light over the weekend on TMZ:

A proud military veteran is demanding an apology from Soulja Boy — after the rapper posted a video saying, “f**k the army troops.”

Soulja ignited a wave of controversy this week over his new song, “Let’s Be Real” — which includes the lyrics:

“F**k the FBI and the army troops … fighting for what? Be your own man …

… I’ll be flying through the clouds with green like I’m Peter Pan.”

Here’s the video. Warning: It’s profanity-laced and headache-inducing:

Rap mogul Russell Simmons is “proud” of Soulja Boy for this “emotional” apology:

As an artist, I let my words get the best of me. Sometimes there are things that we feel, things that we want to express, and when we put them on paper and speak them out loud, they can come out wrong. When I expressed my frustration with the US Army, not only did my words come out wrong, I was wrong to even speak them. So, I write this to give my sincerest apology to all members of the United States military services, as well as their families that were offended by my most recent lyrics.

…In no way would I ever want to offend those who are protecting our freedoms … a lot of homeboys who I grew up with, a lot of people who come from the neighborhoods we live in … In no way do I want to hurt any of our honorable soldiers who put their lives at risk, regardless of how they feel about the two wars we fight in. I am just frustrated that we haven’t been able to bring you all home quick enough and my frustration got the best of me. I am deeply sorry.

A truly sincere apology would have acknowledged that “Soulja Boy” (what a name for a coward who disses the troops, eh?) was pandering to military-hating fans, not “expressing his frustration” over long, military engagements.

Note that no apology was made to those who serve in the FBI.

Just wondering: Has “Soulja Boy” ever penned lyrics telling jihadists to “f***” off? Be your own man for once, “Soulja.” Try it.

The next most offensive words in his apology: “As an artist…”

Oy.

***

The Military Times notes that our troops have enjoyed and supported “Soulja Boy’s” work in the past. Maybe they’ll think twice now:

I think it’s safe to say Marines won’t be dancing to “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” at the Marine Corps Birthday Ball again this year.

LOVE this. An Army sergeant responds Leo Dunson (website here) to “Soulja Boy” with his own rap — “Change Your Name” (NSFW – language warning):

Update: More troop responses on Youtube — language warning — via This Ain’t Hell:

    Yup. Endoctrinating them to be perpetual victims of our culture’s and society’s past wrongs, while indulging them in false self-esteem and inward focus on themselves.

    These people have no talent, that is why they have to do something controversial to get noticed.

    Not necessarily controversial….No talent, so-called entertainers are a byproduct of the dumbing down, lowering standards of excellence, no one should be any better than anyone else, brought to us by decades of leftist public indoctrinators, also teaching to hate the imperialistic USA and its projection of world power through the use of its military.

    It’s called the degradation of culture. When this defecation is passed off as “art,” then everything decent and note-worthy is covered with it. It is interesting that Black folks used to produce some exceptional music and entertainment, but now it is practically ALL aimed at propagating hate, rage, and anti-social behavior. When THAT is the sole of your cultural experience, then what do you expect with record-low HS graduations, record-high crime rates and unemployment, and an enormous number of your children being aborted (and too many of the rest being born out of wed-lock)?

    Rap is an effective medium, especially for outrage. In many ways it’s like punk. But like punk, rap can be co-opted for the cash, as it is in the case of this DeAndre kid.

    On the other hand Sgt. Dunson’s reply was a pitch perfect use of rap, in this case to express the outrage of someone who has actually seen an IED and what it can do, after being cussed out by a snotty poseur from Chi-town.

    Yeah, if I were DeAndre I wouldn’t expect a lot of invitations to military events. And even if I did get one, I don’t think I’d go.

    Yo! Playah! So, it’s okay to refer to black men, and their juniors, as “boys” now? Well, I suppose when one acts like one, then the term should apply, no matter the race.

    You do realize though, that you gave the thugs that follow your rap-hatred prose set to music (it’s not poetry, BTW) yet another reason to attack the “white man”, not that they needed another angry reason…

    Once outta da mouth, it’s kinda hard to say, “I’m sorry,” when you, and your advisers had plenty of time to review, discuss, and rewrite, before it was recorded and distributed. Your apology was not sincere, but was issued to appease those who might hold your career in their hands. Too late, playah!

    It’s not so much military-hating fans as it is government hating fans and trying to create an image of being from the hood. If people like Jackson and Sharpton really wanted to help out the black community they would do more to point out how this type of message (and other messages in rap) do more harm to a community.

    t’s not so much military-hating fans as it is government hating fans and trying to create an image of being from the hood.

    I’m not even Black and I’ve got more experience in “da hood” than most of the elites do.

    If people like Jackson and Sharpton really wanted to help out the black community they would do more to point out how this type of message (and other messages in rap) do more harm to a community.

    They don’t. Sharpton and Jackson and their liberal elite masters are too hellbent on destroying what they see as the straight, able-bodied Anglo-Saxon male who has been running planet earth for the last 2000 years.

    If they really wanted to help (that also includes self-loathing white men and Farrakan and Wright) they’d check fame and fortune at the door, sell all their fancy stuff and junk that is cluttering up their homes and volunteer at a soup kitchen or with United Way. Or at the very least get up and tell the darn truth like Bill Cosby and the mayor of Philly do.

    Otherwise, don’t even bother listening.

    From what I understand, Obama wasn’t “black enough” to be a Black President for Sharpton, despite that the fact Clinton was given that title because the race-baiting left thought that we were doomed to eternal ignorance to elect someone with darker skin to the oval office.

    And as Mark Steyn noted: Jesse Jackson wanted to perform emergency surgery on Obama.

    Its always fun for me to watch those nostalgic salutes to the music and the stars of that era PBS runs on occasion. Those who can still sing on as senior citizens are usually still enjoyable to hear perform. One of the few programs I’ll watch on PBS.

    Can you imagine PBS, 40 years from now, airing salutes to our era’s rap stars hits. Bitter senior citizens wailing on with their foul lyrics.

    Yup, sure to be a great success for PBS’s fund raising membership drives.

The song was released as a single by The Shirelles in 1962 and met with great success, topping the US Billboard Hot 100.

    More damage than most white Americans can ever know. Almost would’ve been better literally killing us off with “kindness”.

    The ironic drawback of Dr. King was unwittingly implanting the idea in the heads of not just white America but fatally to black American pride and self-sustainance, the idea that we need a “leader” to begin with. Like children need someone to show them the way. White americans have no social “leader”, nor Asian or Hispanic or even Native Indian Americans have one. In too many ways having a “leader” representing a whole “race” is the most self-condescending defeatist way to lift or inspire your community and individual self-esteem.

    Ahem, in terms of ‘artistry’? Let’s take away your 106 Channel recording ‘studio’, herd of sound engineers loaded to the armpits w/ MIDI magic, nix the pre-loaded ( and totally predictable ) bass tracks and ‘sweeteners’ and see how much ‘talent’ is left?

    Acceptance of this kind of crap is everywhere. I heard Colmes last week praising the lowering of morals in this country as a very good thing. He said that being free to express yourself without all these inhibitions is finally acceptable and it is good for our culture.

    Oh yeah, sure good for our culture to hear hight school and middle school kids on the commuter train, loud and rude, adding vulgarities to their conversations, talking about their sexual exploits without a thought given to who has to hear it.

    A 1964 reaction to the Beatles:

    Another (Israeli paper) reported the head of the education ministry as saying: “There is no musical or artistic experience here but a sensual display that arouses feelings of aggression replete with sexual stimuli.”

    As good a definition of modern “music” and “rap” as any I’ve heard.

    Sorry, but having the FBI launching a 13 month long investigation as to what the lyrics to Louie, Louie ( deciphering if there were actually is anything ‘subversive’? ) is quite different than using the f-word in every verse.

    I choose not to redistribute my wealth to so-called artists like Soulja Boy. So many of the current group of “artists” do nothing but undermine morality and/or spew their love for all things liberal (or hate for all things conservative). Folks like this need our prayers.

    And I’m just certain you’d feel the same way about “civil rights activists” reacting negatively to a community center that appeared to be named after a white separatist organization but was only named after someone’s grampa.

    By the way, you realize you only got one side of the story with that article, so you have absolutely no idea what happened or who reacted or how. I know, it’s shocking that the media would present a one-sided story that might cast conservatives in a bad light, but facing the facts is what growing up is all about. You may find out about that someday.

    Now, if you want to see some real paranoid, ugly hate speech based on ignorant stereotypes of the “Others” living among us, just look at the comment section below that article (hint: it’s not directed at Muslims).

    IT DON’T MEAN NUTHIN’

    When I was a young man, and everything was strange
    My country sent me off to war, in a land where I would change.
    I was sent to fight a war, in a land I hardly knew
    I would learn to love and hate this place, before the year was through.

    And it don’t mean nuthin’, except to those that were there.
    No it don’t mean nuthin’, except to those that care
    No it don’t mean nuthin’.

    Before to long I lost my youth, my hope and faith as well
    Believing I could find some peace, inside this bit of Hell.
    Fear, death and confusion, would take thier toll on me
    But I stood tall and weathered all, and learned to let it be.

    And it don’t mean nuthin’, except to those that were there.
    No it don’t mean nuthin’, except to those that care
    No it don’t mean nuthin’.

    When bullets flew and young men died, on either side we lost.
    To us it was to prove who’s right, but God ! at such a cost.
    And now that I’ve been back, for all these many years
    I think about the ones we left, and with that come the tears.

    And it don’t mean nuthin’, except to those that were there.
    No it don’t mean nuthin’, except to those that care
    No it don’t mean nuthin’, No it don’t mean nutin’,
    No it don’t mean nuthin’……………………….

    Soulja Boy–another classless rapper dissing those who defend and protect all of us. Someone who never wore the uniform or served his country. Getting rich on the stupidity of those who think he has a valid “message”. Whose songs and actions are dissing good courageous Black People in and out of our Military by association.
    ***
    And it’s not accidental that so many of our liberal / democrat / socialist / statist / marxist / communist voters, corrupt politicians, useful tool voters, and left wing “educators” support this kind of C**P. Debasing our national character is a cornerstone of the marxist / communist goal to take down the U.S.A. Class warfare, victimhood, and envy are some of our country’s enemies best tools.

    And it’s working pretty well. This rapper should be standing in a bread line trying to figure out how to go to school or to get a real job. Instead of living large on his foul mouth and sick mind.

    One of the saddest aspects about life in the United States these days is that our society is spinning its wheels in the global war on islam (not some generic term like terrorism). We don’t even have the will to even identify the enemy. We have a large segment of our population who are willfully clueless about this reality, and these worthless jerks are equally ungrateful for the sacrifices of others that allow for this utter cluelessness. Instead, these sacrifices allow these jerks the freedoms to remain self-centered enough to focus on the pathetically unimportant, such as whitey’s continual war against people of color or some other leftist-inspired, mythological BS.

    Thousands of good men lie in graves already in this war, and millions more of their countrymen couldn’t give a rats ass enough to even become educated on what it’s all about, or what their civic duty is to be positive, contributing members of society versus a real burden to other, better men.

    Yup. Just one of the lyrics I found stirring in Sgt. Dunson’s video. This is why I say that rap can be a powerful medium; it’s the lightweight panderers like DeAndre who weaken the genre.

    Being an Italian immigrant isn’t the same as being a member of the Mafia… so obviously the mafia never existed and had absolutely no connection with Italian immigrants.

    Look at those who were promoting and encouraging the “rock and roll” performers, and contrast them with the people opposing rock and roll.

    I repeat, if we had stopped the slide down that slippery slope 50 years ago, we wouldn’t have the vulgar, barbaric society we have today.

    Music, movies, almost everything anymore is geared to target the most coarse and base emotional reaction. It’s either meant to induce an endorphin reaction, or an adrenal reaction. And that’s a result of the discovery that you can coarsen and debase a people by pandering to their baser appetites while starving their more mature appetites.
