Y’all I don’t know how it didn't hit me that the age meant the age of the player, my bad 💀. But also thanks for all the positive comments! And I meant Mr. Boy as in Mister Soulja Boy in case that was an accidentally offensive term
Dont apologize, only goobers will have a problem with what you said. I personally get offended when people apologize for doing nothing wrong😡, great vid my boy🤩
Watching a former celebrity peddle increasingly desperate scams while dismissing critics as jealous of their wealth just makes their inevitable bankruptcy hearings all the more satisfying.
You left out the two best facts. 1: for a while if you went to Soulja boy’s website it would automatically direct you to Nintendo of America’s website. 2: when he claimed he bought and owned Atari, literally EVERYBODY laughed at his face and called him out for the bullshitter he is.
I had no idea it redirected you to Nintendo website as I hadn't seen any articles about it and I didn't find out about the fact that he claimed to own Atari until literally right after the video went live 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@josh24441 And he said his system was legit when it had Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo games on there among others. The day we gamers get a console that can play all of these games from three warring companies is the day the sky fills with flying unicorns with rainbow wings. xD
@@josh24441 That last one that he tried to sell, he did a collab with the company that put it out, and then tried to claim that he owned the company. The company quickly denied that.
The thing about the domain name is it hasn't been proven that Soulja boy ever owned it to begin with. I think someone bought the domain and just redirected it to Nintendo as a joke. Because when you go to the Internet archive and put in the url the very first version they have in the archive is a redirect to Nintendo. So if he did own it, either it was never archived or he never used it.
So fun fact, the way Soulja Boy promoted his music back in the day was by uploading his songs to limewire under the titles of much more popular songs. Even from the very beginning he was doing some shady shit.
idk, that almost sounds based. Like obviously this sounds like it's not gonna work, most people who pirate a shitty Kanye song, and I start hearing a shitty Soulja boy song instead, they're not gonna think "Damn, this joint pretty good, maybe I will buy his album" They're just gonna delete that shit and possibly even dislike your shitty song just based on association with a negative experience. HOWEVER, doing something weird like shadow dropping part of your album on a popular pirating platform sounds almost crazy enough to make sense, might even endear you as a character to a specific audience, like "look at me, I'm quirky and don't just operate within the lines the music industry wants me to" IDK, just feels like supremely shitty execution was the biggest issue here, like just because Soulja boy decided to jump out of a plane over the Nevada Desert without a parachute doesn't mean nobody should sky dive under any circumstances.
Yeah and then people starting uploading uhhh very very criminal videos under the name of his music videos. Or you got lucky and did not get placed on a FBI instantly arrest list and it was shocksite/gore videos with screaming&loud nioses instead. Dear god downloading shit off limewire was a gamble. This happened when I was at a party and when the video played 2 dozen people were horrified and dude instantly deleted limewire. The chick who downloaded the music video was legit traumatized&confused&scared. Limewire was fucking nuts. Music companies were totally behind this shit.
That's a FACT bro bear share and lime wire both ! Turn my swagg on was on lime wire under something from crime mob , at the time crime mob took over the hip-hop scene. Truly the definition of a scamming troll
@@grizzlydino to you spell "soulja" correctly you need type "dark souls" but you remove dark and the s in final and then write in a paper "ja" to remember the ja in last word so match both without space and it will be soulja. easy
1. Impossible because the games run and control like shit. 2. Leaderboards usually require original hardware for games. 3. With the games the console did have, not a single person knew what they were because it's all bootleg/fake NES games. Most of the promotional material for the console showed games like Smash Ultimate which couldn't even be emulated at the time. Dude is such a scammer. Lil b is my new best friend....
You forgot the one interview where he claimed he invented the NES and accused Nintendo of knowingly stealing it from him, and the other claim that Nintendo begged him to put their games on his consoles
@@justinfulton1305yup then it turns out he owns like an Atari NFT or something like that and once again he backed down like he always does when proven wrong
Thank you for chronicling this farce. Truly something that needed to be documented. Now I can forward this when I joke about it and no one knows wtf I am talking about hahaha
He wasn't trying to rip of gamers he was trying to rip of moms and grandmas of his fans that could not afford real systems! Soulja boy is one of the worst humans ever!
That's somehow exponentially more retarded than the age of the console lmfao, since companies use labels that specify age limits like "suitable for all ages" or "from ages 3 and up". I've also seen "0-3🚫👶" They use specific wording and symbols so customers won't be confused. "Age: 3 years old" sounds like either the age of the console or that the console can only be played by a 3 year old.
Remember when this news was developing all the retro youtubers were appreciating the revenue they were getting, especially Rerez sure he made a nice penny from this
I've gotten a lot of videos with lower views and never clicked on them before. However, I was feeling good today and clicked on your video. Was not disappointed! This is an entertaining video that is still informative on Soulja Boy's console. Good job and keep at it! The UA-cam algorithm is doing something right for recommending your video. Edit: some people seem to be taking my comment negatively, while reading it back I can understand where that's coming from. However, I simply meant it as I wanted to check the video out and give it a try since lower views videos tend to have worse quality. That's an objective statement. I've stuck with channels I was subscribed to, so that means not watching videos that also have lots of views as they didn't seem interesting to me. I clicked on this video not out of some weird I'm better than you vibe but the thumbnail and title were interesting so I clicked on it. People always seem to take the negative approach first, which is sad. My comment is a positive one, and if you didn't view it that way, then reading my edit will give you more context. This is why I generally don't comment on videos...
@@thaiboypsp3000 no need to try and play the moral highground. Are you baiting or just have that low self confidence that you're trying to make yourself feel better by trying to put others down?
About him cutting off the people on the podcast, yeah, maybe he does it cause he wants to avoid hard questions but he comes off to me as one of those people that when they are seriously focused on something getting them to hear or see anything else is damn near impossible, some peoples' brains only work like tunnel vision and he comes off as one of those people to me.
The funniest part about the entire situation is the ignorant ass fans saying “yall just hating he is trying to get a bag” At least he is trying to do something” “ When all these other companies scam yall you’re always silent” you could tell it was a knockoff scam just by looking at it.
That's the thing. Whenever you have an absurdly stupid idea that some braindead person cooked up there's always at least 8 people who will defend the idea. That's how scams and terrible practices are alive.

I dont really watch youtube video essays (if you can count this as one), but this really intrigued me as i just thought of souljaboy being a popular early 2000s artist at best, i had no clue he did all of these. The video was really informative and i didnt expect all of these from a small channel, you have great potential definitely.
Like self assuring himself "If dey be gon do anythin den they wooda done it's alreadys" like yeah building up a case and evidence isn't a thing in his mindset

The biggest cringe from this was seeing black people close ranks and defend the scam by turning it into a hugely racial issue/talking point & perpetuating the narrative that everyone is trying to keep them down. 😒 It was pathetic all around.
Soulja wasn't just a successful rapper from the early 2000's. He was the first person to spread their music through social media and sharing platforms. It was wild and we had never seen it before.
This irritates me. For some reason, the term “early 2000s” has become an umbrella term for the whole decade as opposed to just the first 4 years of the decade. (2000-2004)
Kinda weird that you’re leaving out the part where he spread his media through sharing platforms by listing the track and artist as already-successful artists. Dude’s been a fraudster his entire life.
