Souljah Boy's Lambo

This, in my opinion, is what NOT to do when you got NEW money. I'm going to see if I can get some money experts to come on the site to prove it too. (Viewers beware, contains strong language):

According to mediatakeout.com, Bow wow apparently rented his but in the vid, he asks like he owns the car. At the beginning of the vid, in the front of the car, it says Prestige, which is a renter of luxury cars.

who's smarter?

why don't we save money???

hasn't seeing people like Fantasia, Left Eye, and a whole bunch of other superstars taught us anything????

But Thedy...ok i feel you but we dont know how much Souljah earned and if he did safe investissment.
We cant blame him because he spend money in a -beautiful lol- car.
If he bought it's probably because he easily could.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by qdaiman on February 3, 2009 at 1:39pm: he got enough to hit like 350k-500k on a car...but didn't he just get robbed.

next thing the lambo gellargo ain't even that fast u can get a clk to out run'em for 70k. i've been in '01 clk's that will eat that hot mess he got up (almost threw up in it too)...then he was driving w the ebrake on for a min.

the question should be...at 18 is he responsible enough to own one. then why is he trying to race one...this is a problem in los angeles dudes r getting killed all the time street racing when they can't drive that well.

is arab his boyfriend o something...

fiscal responsibility is based on budgets n how much the person plans to make on certain investments. whether u prefer conscervation o aggression is up to the person w the money...u can always find negative in a investment portfolio. until we see his full portfolio any financial assesment would be speculative n incomplete.

last a car like this is not an investment since it depreciates at such a great rate, he lost about 50k just driving it off the lot in this economy. i know ceo types that make less than he does that bought jets n stuff but no one tripped due to the stigma that exotic cars carry. n these jets cost millions, not considering fuel, maintanence, storage fees, airport taxes, staffing n etc.

bow wow is smarter to rent his since he paid about 1k max n does not have to pay for upkeep n all the other fees that go w owning exotics o the sticker price...who pays the sticker price for cars other than rappers...outrageously dumb.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Popz on February 3, 2009 at 4:57pm: Thedy(smile) ,....let the kid do his thing , He's 18. Yes he could afford if he bought it. We should more than anything appreciate him encouraging other youths to keep there dreams alive.
I feel your point, he may or may not have the ability to save,.BUT
What if he's one of the few of us who really means and believe "Give us this day our daily bread",....thatz biblical faith being implemented. He may take life one day at a time and not depend on the banks and other financial institutes to chart his path. Sounds like he (Soulja Boy) trust God ....not man. Each generation gets weaker and wiser,...hhmmmm
We grow as we go,....Each and every day is brand new and money definitely doesn't compare in value.

he trusts GOD...biblical faith...i don't see anything in soulja boy that suggest any of these things...we know them by their fruit. all he's done is put out kiddie porn songs n use profanity n set hip hop back. i just hope u were joking.; ▶ Reply to This

"hasn't seeing people like Fantasia, Left Eye, and a whole bunch of other superstars taught us anything????"

Your response:
"He's 18. Yes he could afford if he bought it."

Artists buy a LOT of stuff that they THINK they can afford. In Thedy's example, ALL those artists thought they could afford the things they bought with "New Money." In the end, they ended up on "Debt Row." (Pun Intended)

It will take a few years for him to figure out if he could afford to spend that money. He's got a lot of Livin' to do yet.; ▶ Reply to This

We should not.

I agree with you totally!; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by qdaiman on February 3, 2009 at 2:08pm: oh yeah i almost forgot if he would have financed the car i would have said he is the dumbest sob on the planet. fincance charges would have brought him up to 800k or so. he should have bought it off someone that could no longer afford theirs w bout 40 miles on it for half the price. but who said he was a negotiator.

he's three albums in that's not new. then he has a few artists that have albums. he may not have content but he has material galore. his money is straight. the question is when does the spending end n what is the plan for the future.; ▶ Reply to This

Education been out of season for YEARS now, people don't "learn" from ANYTHING or ANYBODY! Ignorance is EN VOGUE! This is SOULJAH BOY we're talking about for crying out loud! If a ~~man~~ boy does dumb stuff to MAKE money, then he's gonna do dumb stuff when he GETS money! He's a starving man who's just been brought to a buffet; he's not gonna use moderation, he's gonna eat himself SICK and regret it later...; ▶ Reply to This
