"Soul Survivor," Young Jeezy featuring Akon

[blahblahblah]

I don't hate this song, but god, this is so overrated. I honestly don't understand why this song is flying up all charts. Akon's voice can get so annoying sometimes.

Not only that, but in general, the hip hop terms "the game," and "rider" are so overused that they barely mean anything any more, if they ever did. F**k this song.

And with his whole "snowman" nickname and logo, yeah, that's a great example to be setting for little ghetto children. "Hey kids! Look at my cute little logo! You can sell cocaine to earn money to live off of, become a rapper and blow all your money on diamonds, too!" Seriously, f**k Young Jeezy too.

A week ago, I'd agree with everything in this thread, but I'm embarrassed to say that it's grown on me a little bit. I don't understand why it's almost top 10 on Pop though.

Here's Young Jeezy defending his snowman logo:

"I get out and kick it with the people, 'cause that's what I am. That's the Snowman," Young Jeezy said recently while addressing the flap over his popular Snowman T-shirts. "Kids [can relate to the] Snowman. They know it's somebody that came from the 'hood [and made it]."

Jeezy said stories on CNN, in USA Today and in other outlets were uninformed and one-sided in their reporting on his Snowman shirts. "It's not Frosty's evil twin," an article on CNN.com reads. "The image popularized by drug-dealer-turned-rapper Young Jeezy symbolizes those who sell a white substance known on the street as snow: cocaine."

"To be honest with you, it never meant anything," Jeezy explained. "It meant what we stand for. It's ours, it's the streets. CNN ain't got nothing to do with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not changing, but I never said the Snowman meant 'Go outside and sell some drugs.' The Snowman is my alter ego. I made it out of the 'hood. I'm not a rap star, I'm not a superstar, I'm a trap star. That's who I am."

The Snowman is "the only thing we have that belongs to us," he continued, "our culture and our way of life. You can't hide that. I'm not finnin' to go on TV and say, '[The Snowman] stands for this or that,' it's none of your business. It stands for whatever you want it to stand for, it could stand or Christmastime or whatever. But in the 'hood, it stands for 'You know what, he's just like me. You can't ban the Snowman, he is what I am. He came from where I came from.' "
