I swear I thought this was a joke. I thought it was a parody of an actual song, done by some stoned kid in his garage. Unfortunately this song is quite real and performed by a stoned kid in his mansion, i.e. Soulja Boy.
Soulja Boy is an anime fan. He's also a marijuana fan and possibly a fan of rapping while holding a golf ball in his mouth, because this song is nothing but him mumbling his way through a bunch of sentences that include anime titles -- and then he just reads off a list of characters from Dragonball Z. That's the song. Oh! Also the song is called "Anime," because any other title would have required a minutia of effort. I'm by no means anti-rap, but I defy you guys to listen to all three minutes. Thanks to zasabi for the tip.

What in the 12 hells was that? I didn't even make it past :30.

Great... now I have that song stuck in my head. Thanks Rob...

This is easily the worst thing to happen to anime since tentacle-rape.

This child is a terrible representation
I demand you post some mc chris as repentance for this monstrosity!
Elijah said:
I had to go back and make sure I was looking at Topless Robot, because the Soulja Boy shit-talking got me thinking that my rap blog and my herd blogs had gotten mixed up in Google Reader.
Seriously, rap fans bitch about Soulja Boy like TR readers bitch about Michael Bay. It's good times.
DoctorSmashy replied to Elijah:
Well, at least he's not respected in his own circles. Seriously, he must have been on something when he recorder this, MUST HAVE. Unless he always talks like that. Imagine him ordering from a Drive-Thru, or giving a speech at a wedding....
Kris replied to DoctorSmashy:
I'm surprised you haven't heard of him before. Last year he gave "a shout out to the slave owners" at an awards show. He's either the stupidest person on the planet or the biggest troll in existence.
DoctorSmashy replied to Kris:
Of course I've heard of him - Crank Dat or whatever it's called was in the UK charts for a criminally long time, but I've generally been able to understand what he was saying in the past.

Souljah boy is the antithesis of trying. He is proof that, all too often, people get ridiculously rich and famous without even the slightest bit of talent or effort.
Monkey boy replied to Monkey boy:
And after watching all 3 minutes of that...I wish I was dead. Seriously how many times during that song does he just not have anything to say so he falls back on repeating the word "anime". Soulja boy herringbone soulja boy anime all day everyday anime anime. Soulja boy anime lookin like goku looking like piccolo anime anime. Someone should beat the fuck out of Jim for thinking he made a song. That's an auditory abortion if ever there was one. And I actually enjoy rap and hip hop quite a bit.

after listening for one minute, I had to stop it before I die from blood lost to the ears. That was horrible, Soulja Boy can eat a dick.

This is why we can't have nice things!
ksa otaku replied to ksa otaku:
And for fucks sake, every single goddamn anime he named was on the Cartoon network.
telezombie replied to ksa otaku:
because cartoon network doesn't have the balls to play anything but mainstream anime like dragonball z and whatever else is safely catagorized as mainstream anime. people learn what anime is from mainstream media. some choose to remain in the mainstream and some choose to explore the whole spectrum sampling whatever they can. i have met a ton of people that can only go on about how great dragonball z is and have never watched anything but dragonball z because they are too lazy to sample anything else. this is the same with music and movies. why do you think justin bieber is as big as he is? people are sheep by nature. some of us are smarter than sheep though. this cretin is clearly an example of the sheep personality. when the lights go down on this monstrosity we will see him for who he really is...a shallow image projected to the masses for young people to mimic.

Holy. Shit.
I managed my way through all 3 minutes, somehow. His voice reminds me of a little kid sick with a cold. It's not even non-pronunciation like many rappers, it's just like his mouth decided to be lazy around words.
If I ever wished I could icepick a song out of my head, that would definitely be it.
His real stage name is 'Soulja Boy Tell 'Em' ... well, you can tell us all you want, dude, but it's not like we can understand you anyway. Jesus fuck.

MattK said:
He says he's all "animed-up" meaning he watches it so much he has to watch it while doing menial tasks like "drivin'" and "banging dem ho's". But really, I think he envies the middle-aged man who dresses up like Sailor Moon.
HDO said:
Woo hoo! Thanks for my new ringtone Rob!
Now for some FFF where Goku crams some anime in Soulja's ass.
Scortia said:
Shit, how high was he when he recorded this garbage?

Welllllllllll we already knew he was a Superman fan. Ho.

Devil Child said:
Soulja Boy is to hip hop what Kenny G is to jazz. He is to rap what Nickelback is to rock. He is to rhyming what Glenn Beck is to news. What the fuck is wrong with him?
If Snoop Dogg weren't busy throwing his integrity down the drain in Katy Perry singles, Soulja Boy would've died of lead poisoning by now.
Selaphiel said:
Wiki informs me he has a song on his upcoming album titled "I Deserve a Grammy"
LOL
Xenos said:
The day it was posted I saw this on... a message board that shall not be named. I was on their animu and mango board for a change (instead of the tv and comics ones) and someone posted a pic of him with a link to the video. Half the people thought it was fake at first.
Meanwhile, someone posted this similar anime rap from an artist called Majatron.

If you ask me, this bit by this lesser known rapper is a million times better than that dumbass SouljaBoy.

if Soulja Boy evers does anything even remotely entertaining....my head would explode..and the world will probably end..
Kael said:
I am still not sure if I am happy that the rap-tards like anime, or appalled that this song exists.
CedRock said:
I can't underanime why Anime Boy would try and anime this anime while he was so anime. Did he think that anime would notice how anime he was?
Herringbone anime anime herringbone.

SHIIIIIINKUU HADOKEN >>> Soulja Boy >>> orz
RC said:
Goku anime anime Vegeta anime anime...
I'm sorry, sir, but what the fuck?
I feel like I need to take this man's anime away. It's obviously being abused.
Fylisfe replied to RC:
i bet if he actually knew what Piccollo looked like he wouldn't be saying "anime anime ima lookin like piccollo anime anime" xD
zasabi said:
I honestly couldn't make it through the entire song
Monty Prime said:
Why the hell does he randomly throw in Marvel vs Capcom? That doesn't even have anime characters.
KB_SBI replied to Monty Prime:
Puls it just another nonsense reverence that shows he has no idea or talent about what he raps (or he would have made a "Tatsunoko Vs Capcom reverence).
KB_SBI said:
WTF?!... W!T!F!
How high was this ass Clown while recording this. God his voice makes Lil' Wayne sound like an Angel. I mean we all know that Soulja Boy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed... But damn, he just rhymes the together the lamest Hip Hop/Rap Sterotypes with Anime Characters/Series Names.
"Rolls Royce black and I'm looking like Goku"? WTH? At what point was Goku wearing oversized T-Shirt & fake Sneakers. "lookin' like Cowboy Bebop when i blast her"? "cooking up that Anime" How the hell, do you cook up Anime...
Man, do i hate this talentless Sterotyp. If let's say Lupe Fiasco would make an Anime themed Song on the other hand.
Chronotyrant said:
I sat through all three minutes of this garbage. If my soul wasn't a black void before it sure is now. Thanks a lot Rob. I'm off to the liquor cabinet for some redemption in a bottle (Scotch).
The Man With Two Brains said:
I laughed throughout the entire song... until the ending where he just repeated "anime Soulja Boy anime" over and over and I realized that he must be special needs and then I just felt bad for laughing at his obvious disability.
He IS special needs... right? I mean, there's no other explanation!
Kirtro said:
This song doesn't show he is an anime fan, it shows he can read Wikipedia!
BTA said:
So is this the same song as "Goku"? I don't think it is...
Denjiro said:
The only non-bad thing I can say about Soula Boy is Crank Dat inspired this parody version from JawKneeYeah.
rickicker said:
i think the stupidity peaks at 1:55. "i'm looking like vegeta man/i'm looking like gohan/i'm looking like piccolo/i'm looking like anime/i'm looking like death note/i'm looking like case closed/man i'm popping barters/anime drop top like inuyasha"
what...what are you saying souljah boy? you look like a cartoon, green-skinned kid with pineapple hair who likes to solve a mysteries and own a book that can kill people, and on a night of the full moon you turn into a dog demon? is that it? because you look (and sound) more like a FUCKING RETARD!!
that sound you just heard? it's my Unit-01 powering up. i think i'm clinically depressed enough to ride it thanks to this song. now if you'll excuse me, i have a Third Impact to start. -goes into Eva-
MikeOfTanith said:
I need to clear my mind after watching this crap. Can anyone recommend and good songs (or artists) about anime/video games. I'm always on the lookout, but always seems last to know. I'm aware of MC chris as well as optimus rhyme.
hyzterik said:
:46
as a pretty big hip-hop fan, i can safely say this is one of the most disgraceful hip-hop songs of all time. what in the hell is anime swag other than a tri-gun shirt?
rickicker replied to hyzterik:
remember the good old days, when rap was powerful enough in lyrics to gave birth to "Gangsta's Paradise"? thanks to this video, i doubt if we will ever have those golden years again. -sigh-
Squirrel said:
If I was more an AV geek, I'ld be tempted to remix the thing and make an AMV out of it... and dedicate it to Rob for his Fanfiction Friday efforts... but I'm not, I'm actually a lazy bastard and would rather not ever listen to something so terrible ever again.

Cyberdurc22 said:
I made it to :23 secs and even then I fast forwarded like 8 seconds...it's crazy how talentless most rap artists are these days. Rap was at its peak in the late 80's, early to mid 90's and ever since then fell off, with a few exceptions...the fact that most people didn't make it to 1 minute proves my point.
