Soulja Boy On Making Money From YouTube, Past Marketing Tactics & More | Assets Over Liabilities 

This dude didn't blow up by no accident. He was a smart ass kid... and has grown up to be a smart young man.... Respect!!!

Soulja being 16 years old and discovering the use of the internet as a means to promote, market, and consume his music was groundbreaking. He was the first to do it and everyone else followed his blueprint. Artists before him who couldn’t keep up with the change in the industry became obsolete. He changed the game

I done watched this so many times. Soulja Boy a living legend. You dont have to agree Im just putting it in the air 🐐

When he’s chilled, Soulja Boy showcases his brilliance. According to TMZ many models used the site *AUTHENTIC views* for youtube popularity by getting quality views, comments and likes from this site.

Give souja boy his respect. Homie really did lead the internet wave. Hate it or love it. Facts are facts

Soulja Boy is more important to the rap game than y’all think. This kid may seem crazy and foolish , but he’s sharp; and his business moves are calculated and he sets an example of what other artists should be doing with their money.

Fam dropped all kinds of jewels in this one. True entrepreneurial spirit no doubt.

Soulja boy was literally the first social media influencer for that he will be apart of hiphop history forever

This dude changed the way music is promoted and sold. He changed the entire music industry. He's crazy as hell but he deserves credit as one of the best of our time. Dude is fearless in his pursuit of being an innovator and owner. Great interview, y'all had a chance to really show how intelligent and sharp he is after all the smoke clears (litterally)

My respect has changed for him dramatically. This man has other goals in life besides music and is smart AF, seriously, he was talking about taking advantage of social media before social media became big.

"The money don't make me, I make the money" -SouljaBoy 💯

Soulja Boy is thee example of how the genius of Black Men, Black people are misunderstood. It’s Like by having the courage to be himself, ignore naysayers & follow his own inner light 💡 he has actually shown his natural real genius. It’s beautiful & inspiring ! Literally people have never really given him his credit. #salute 💜💜💜

This is probably now one of my favorite interviews. He’s extremely wise and makes chess moves

He doesn’t get enough credit! The young man is brilliant!

This guy is an all round creative. A genius. Anything he puts his mind to he monetizes. He's completely broken the mould for what it is to be a wealth creator. #Respect

Shout out to assets and liabilities for helping show our Young Legends in a better life I wish The breakfast club did the same instead of highlighting the negativity

I really like this representation of him. We're all human! In this setting, his business prowess really shined through! Respect and salute to him and you all for this interview!

Soulja Boy, thanks for the motivation. legendary interview. This puts you in a much more mature light. Great example for young people to learn from.

When he’s chilled, Soulja Boy showcases his brilliance. People out there are talking about Kanye that he used the site *AUTHENTIC views* for popularity..

Man that interview really showed the world the great side of Soulja... that man really is smart as hell and he really be screaming out because he's tired of seeing dudes get credit for all the things he created....#bigsoulja

Never have nothing bad to say about Soulja. Changed the game ! Changed the blueprint. Real trailblazer and pioneer… first to do it !

I remember calling that kiss me through the phone number back in the day. And Soulja picked it up. Lol!

This man is smoking his own Brand of Weed!! Let that sink in

The thing he said dat stood out was he has a strong team not his homies from the neighborhood but real decision makers. Salute to his team we need da 🔌💯

i cannot emphasis how amazing this interview is. soulja is the man, the myth, the legend. i love his enthusiasm and greatly respect his mind and hustle. inspired bro

I’m glad Soulja getting his flowers. I doubted him when he came out but you can NOT deny is greatness.

Soulja Boy I almost forgot how you change the game in 2006...plus you performed for the soldiers Stationed in Germany when I was there. Salute

Gotta give Soulja Boy credit for his power moves.

I like how Soulja says "thank you" when the people in the room understand his point

You never know when he’s telling the truth or lying. One thing for sure he’s entertaining, wealthy and the 1st to do it all.

Real talk: I never liked Soulja Boy. But that just goes to show that the media folks put out negative shit about him all the time. I actually watched this video and I kinda understand him now. I think I do, at least. The dude is actually honest and humble enough to know he ain't perfect. He seems to be in his own world, but that's ok. That's a good place to be in a crazy world that we live in. I've never seen him be this "real", as he's usually EXTRA in the shit that the media shows. Props to Revolt for showing a side of him that a dude like me never saw. Shows how the media can paint you as an asshole and have folks not liking you for no reason. I dont even know why I didnt like him. But I have a respect for the kid now. I'm 48yrs old with a 19yr old and a 13yr old...both sons. I wouldn't mind them actually pushing themselves in clever ways to make their lives better, kinda like Soulja did. I dont want my boys to be rappers, but at least THINK like Soulja. LOL! The man does actually have the capacity to organize a plan, and it's a good plan. Lesson learned: don't hate until you relate. Get to know somebody before you just "dont like em" for no reason.

Like him or not Big Soulja earned his legendary status and this is proof of his superior entrepreneurial mind.

"The money ain't never made me" I will never forget this quote. So beautiful.

22:11 This made me press the like button. 👍🏼 This type of thinking is what separates entertainers from businessmen.

SODMG

his grandkids are gonna love his stories

This is such a dope interview! & I’m glad he did with you guys 💯

Kudos to Solja. A fine pioneer.

I absolutely love this interview. Not for the views, glitz & and glamour, or the social commentary but for not allowing people to rewrite history. I lived through this. I was on the internet, soundclick, myspace, youtube, I saw it with my own eyes. I love this for him.

This dude literally asked the same exact question everybody else already asked Soulja Boy

Soulja is a true legend fr.. crazy to watch him grow up to where he is

I've always loved Soulja Boy for these reasons. His music is for a younger generation than myself. I just like his business mindset. His parents must be so proud💯

Souljah boy is the reason music streaming is what it is today

Hate him or love him, you got to respect the man 😬

This interview just confirms to me how mindset is more then the key to success

Wowww, this is One of the Absolute best interviews i seen you guys do. This was amazing to see Soulja in this rare form. Loved every ounce of it, Love Him

Some real gems dropped throughout this 💎💯

Respect Soulja Boy for being authentic no matter what platform he’s on, no matter the topic of discussion. He’s himself.

Y’all the first financial literacy group to interview Soulja boy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is probably one of my favorite interviews of all time lmao

Big Drako always kills it by being entertaining. If your Show is struggling with viewers, all you have to do is secure a "Soulja Boy" interview and you'll most definitely get over a Million views on that video. A lot of people just hate on him for no reason whatsoever, or are jealous of him. Big he'll just keep on doing what he does & keep getting that check. Big yourself up Soulja Boy, much love and respect for just being yourself 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽💯💯💯💯

Give Big Draco his flowers now. Bruh was 16 getting paid 20k a show unsigned. When he say he the first he mean he was the first to take a leap a faith in what he loved by any means necessary in a style that was still fairly new and it panned out. Now the whole world on the social media wave because of him. This shit really beautiful bruh.

Love seeing how he used his intelligence, to become what he wanted. 💯🙏🏾🌎

This is fasho the interview that I didn't know I needed to watch! Real life inspiring 💯

This is the best interview big draco has ever had. We got see his mind and it has been very intentional and it has paid off. Hats off to you both great questions y'all are super dope. It was very chill like homes just chopping it up.

I dont leave comments..... but Troy and Rashad I'm proud of yall growth.... soulja ifwy gang

When he’s chilled, Soulja Boy showcases his brilliance. Soulja boy the legend who never used the site *AUTHENTIC views* for fame.

I've watched this video a couple of times. Soulja is a genius. He's so relaxed about getting massive amounts of money. Much love!

Major Salute Soulja Boy. #Respect

👁️2007-2021 SOULJABOY is a GENIUS and CLEARLY A Leader.🧠

Never really been a Soulja Boy fan...but this interview is Priceless!

Assets over liabilities is so needed. A true 💎 gem

Soulja has a great mind.. he needs to stay away from the BS . he will be a Billionaire

He light that blunt like 100 times 😂😅

Really cool conversation Soulja been one of the most innovative and smartest in the game for a long time. Major props

Big salute to Soulja for showing us into his mind 🙌🏽👑

Soulja got wisdom and hustle drop all kinds of gems in this one.

This man is living his passion, unadulterated…genius.

I fa show remember solider boy on RU-vid when he was a teenager. Getting checks from RU-vid telling everybody how RU-vid was sending him checks in the mail. He pioneered the entertainment side of RU-vid. It’s crazy to see him at this age now from when he was a teenager back doing this. That man saw the trend before the industry even knew it was a trend. 🥳👏💯

I have a newfound respect for this young brother. I can't support some of his antics; but, I ain't a hater and this dude is brilliant as hell. Super sharp.

I respect him so much more after this. He has grown for sure

This guy is a legend . I hope the world show him respect .

Good interview. SouljaBoy gave a lot of insight into the business and his mindset. Respect

This man a legend bruh!!! Very dope interview! I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did💯

Real shit, Soulja Boy paved the way for a lot of the artist in the game right now. And, now is most definitely the time to give him his flowers 💐 & respect him for the artist he is! Because, there would be no Drake, Migos, ASAP Rocky, Lil Baby, Lil Durk etc… He was the first ever artist on RU-vid.

This is powerful !!! These 3 men have changed my life in different ways! I love this interview

I never looked at Soulja as a rapper. He always been a hustler to me! You honestly can put him in the Master P jay and Diddy category.

Great interview. Very inspiring to be yourself, pursue your passion, and innovate in a way that’s different from what everybody else is doing

This man is not silly. One of the most influential rappers of this generation - underrated and stupid funny

This a real interview. Insightful, keep at it Soulja!

The google buying data blew my mind

I have respect for this man because I was abled to grow up and watch him literally change the game in a way that has shaped a lot of artists today and new forms of art in music and dancing. Hoping I can do something as effective one day

I'm from Ghana living in Saudi Arabia and you've really inspired and motivated me today. Thank you Genius.

Marketing GENIUS whether you like him or not, you have to respect this man’s business acumen. i didn’t click for laugh, i clicked for lessons.

What a guy. What a talent. The greatest natural hustler to ever do it. A living legend 🙌

His best interview yet; I'm glad to see him finally talking with like-minded people.

THIS WAS DEFINITELY NEEDED 💯🐐

This dude here is solid … very wise … business minded … if our people can focus on business and making moves collectively we can be powerful

I’ve been a fan of his hustle from the beginning more then I liked his music!! The growth is tremendous!

Soulja boy interviews are always entertaining. Respect to that man and all that he contributed to the industry 💯
