Including Soulja on "We Made It" turned out to be one of the savviest tricks Drake has ever pulled. The song is a testament to overcoming and unabashedly flaunting your success much to the chagrin of nonbelievers. Rub that shit in the naysayers faces like apricot scrub—it's good for them. Soulja Boy is the main reason this song is so delightful. The chorus and beat are anthemic, sure, but, the highlight is Soulja interrupting Drake's verse to inform us, "Damn, Soulja Boy stunt on them haters."
He sounds taken aback by his own actions, as if he can't believe the ferocity and malice with which is he able to stunt on them h8rz. But, much like Whitney Houston, Soulja Boy simply doesn't know his own strength, for he has stunted on them h8rz for so long that at this point it basically happens subconsciously. Stunting pulses through Soulja's body—it lives deep within his sinew.
We aren't here to argue Soulja's talent (limitless and diverse) or his place in the current landscape of rap (he is a legend). We're not saying Soulja Boy is a better rapper than Pimp C because he has crashed two Bentleys, while Pimp C has only crashed one, however compelling that evidence may be. We are here to document DeAndre Way's steadfast commitment to stunting on them h8rz through his actions and laboriously put together outfits. Perhaps, we could all learn a thing or two from the master.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself hired Soulja Boy for my Bar Mitzvah in Batesville for 24 scrip (that's about $20,000) and have been
selling recordings for almost 2 years now. I can even get laid with these beats.
Souja Boy can spend years working on a single stanza and rap
it up to a million times to produce the finest verse known to mankind.
Good ol' hip hop is thrice as sharp as this avant-garde shit and thrice as wicked
for that matter too. Anything Why? can diss, Soulja Boy can
cut through better. I'm pretty sure Soulja Boy could easily verbally bisect a
knight wearing full plate with a simple yo momma joke.
Ever wonder why those west coast nerds never bothered conquering the real city?
That's right, they were too scared to rap battle the disciplined SODMG and
their beats of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers
targeted the real rappers first because their flyting was
feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Soulja Boy is simply the best rapper that the music
world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system.
Here is the stat block I propose for Soulja Boy:
Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Soulja Boy in real life, don't you think?
tl;dr = Soulja Boy needs to be badasser in d20, see my new stat block.
