Girls Protest Outside Soulja Boy Show

[«Kü®bẕẕ»]

As the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Romano Gymnasium’s first-ever sellout crowd of 2,600 people filed in Friday night, many couldn’t ignore the row of protesters shouting and wielding signs.

This group of 10 UMD students, mostly female, stood outside to protest UMD’s spring semester music act, Chicago rapper Soulja Boy, claiming the concert broke University of Minnesota policy.

The group said they were perturbed that the University would use student funds to hire a performer with lyrics they felt were misogynistic and degrading to women.

thats embarassing having soulja boy and chicago in the same sentence (tho i did just do it)

hes from mississippi or down south somewhere isn't he?

and no i dont think he degrades women i havent listened to more than 5 seconds of one of his songs to know more than the fact he is either
a. ignorant as fuck
or
b. pretends to be ignorant to appeal to immature teenagers to make more money

[Thinker Thought]

Soulja Boy Tell 'Em was born in Chicago and moved to Atlanta at age six, where he became interested in rap music. At age 14, he moved to Batesville, Mississippi with his father, who provided a recording studio for Way to explore his musical ambitions

I didn't think Soulja Boy had degrading lyrics (or as degrading as most other artists). Most of his lyrics are about dance moves really.

No, not to women, but humanity.

I think it's kind of bullshit to say he's misogynistic, yes Soulja Boy is dumb as fuck, but I wouldn't go as so far to say he's misogynistic, however I feel funding any artist of any sort isn't overly beneficial to anyone as they should be investing this money in maybe something that effects education, like a bursary? But then again, it's an actual concert and doesn't seem to me like they used school funds to get this, their own money. So, are the protesters butthurt in this situation? Yes.
