MAG COVER/SCANS: SOULJA BOY & 50 CENT COVER XXL + VIDEO

October 20th, 2010

Rappers 50 Cent and Soulja Boy are featured on the cover of the November issue of XXL Magazine. Both artists revealed their admiration for each other and shared what they have in common:

“Being black with money, from the ‘hood, struggles and coming from nothing to something, of course you’re going to share the common struggles,” the young MC said. “You going to have people hate. You going to have people that change on you, and all that. So of course, watching 50, and him going through what he did — if there wasn’t no 50 Cent, there would be no Soulja Boy.”

About the drug allegations:
“I’m still learning,” Soulja Boy said. “I’ve been through a lot this year, and it’s nothing I expected. I just wanna rap, and I wake up and have some sh– on me, out the blue, every single day. But, really, all it does is feed my ego.”

    We were just talking about this kind of stuff in class, and about how the bending of gender roles and the feminist era we live in are problematic.

    Men are men and women are women, unless you are a hermaphrodite then you are either/or. Neither gender should be exploited and both should respect each other, but why the desire to cross over? If men and women were supposed to be the same, there would be no such thing as gender.

    Subtle message in this cover. Hahaha, a hater’s worst nightmare? How about a wet dream? Soulja Boy looks all “come hither” hahaha

    @ Dee Dee

    You took the words right outta my mouth lol

    It’s getting quite apparent that these “rumors” that most of these artists are gay are really not just rumors….I wonder if some of them just will come out of the closet soon, and I bet if they did their fans wouldn’t even mind….

    They look like two GAY THUG PORN STARS, about to blow each others backs out.

    This couldn’t have been an accident.

    This is not their first photo shoot.

    They know how they look.

    The cover looks photoshoppy. I don’t think either artist would have purposely posed like that knowing how it would be perceived. I don’t like 50 or Soulja Fool, but I believe they aren’t completely oblivious.

    This is the dumbest fucking XXL cover I have ever seen. Wtf were they thinking with that? On another site they were saying that if this was 2003 when 50 was hot, he would not be giving soulja boy’s ass any praise. He would be clowning he ass like he used to do ja rule. The only reason he is on his nuts is because he’s not relevant anymore. Shit honestly soulja boy’s relevancy is beginning to fade as well. They need to both throw the damn towel in. And yes this pic is soooo urban “Brokeback Mountain”.

    I just watched the video and 50 is full of sh@!. I don’t believe he’s a real fan of Soulja Boy for one second. And why did Soulja Boy have to pose with his shirt off and almost every pose 50 was all up on his back…it’s to much.

    They do look like lovers don’t they. All hugged up and greased up. Soulja boy holding his nuts like he can’t wait to get it in. 50cent look like the booty warrior.

    But you know what, I agree with #16

    Gender is socially constructed. Who decided what thing are masculine and feminine. Also gender norms differ from culture to culture.

    But yeah, this looks pretty homo-erotic.

    I am sorry, and I know people don’t want to look at subliminal messages as well as messages that are in your face, but this has HUGE homosexual overtones written all over it. It is part of population control, to turn black men into fags and women are left to die single and no children. Black people need to wake the fuck up!

    @DIORULEUX

    No, the world is truly not going to stop if these two men are gay, I’m just saying “Where are all the Straight brothers! I mean damn every time you look around another one of our brothers is coming OUT! our Black men need to get it together fast or is it that there is no hope for the BLACK man, and if this is so then there is no hope for our young black women who is hoping to find a good black man…..we are at the END of our rope.

    You have Black spiritual leaders abusing our young black men where do this all began and where do it all end?

    just asking….geesh!

    Even if the pic can be explained away, the video is definitely homo erotic. Why are y’all sitting around recapping the way you met like you’re gonna tell that story to your grandchildren one day?
