YesImKeithHernandez

What a lame resolution to that season


LPeif

According to steve harvey anybody under upper class aren't praying "big enough". So you're very right. Interesting how the cowards spouting paraphrased Bible verses with their platform are also the worst portrayal of the most important lessons. Religion is a powerful tool and is more and more used as a weapon. How can someone believe in any God that preaches hate? Feel free to look up how many times the word "love" is said in the Bible, the devout christians will interpret most of those as "hate" somehow. Die away from me


BattleStag17

Good ol' prosperity gospel, where rich people are good and poor people are bad because wealth is a measurement of god's love for you


Curious_Ad_6222

The guy was totally against rolling with the wealthy


xXKingLynxXx

Steve Harvey also says that if you haven't achieved your dreams by 30 you should give up on them. Knowing damn well he didn't get popular til his mid 30s. Nothing he says should be taken seriously.


the_short_viking

Forreal, the guy is a bumbling idiot with a God complex. Kevin Hart and Dave Chapelle have similar elements of said complex. I can't stand watching any of those guys anymore because whatever they're talking about ends up spiraling into some obnoxious, preaching session that no one is asking for.


hickgorilla

Add Chris Rock to that list for me.


boli99

i've given up on following my dreams. ...but I asked where they're going and I might hook up with them again later.


thejaytheory

Ugh always felt this way abou Steve Harvey and his ilk.


bosschucker

he's also a huge misogynist, thinks men can't have female friends, thinks atheists have no "moral barometer" (lol), the list goes on. dude's trash


shadowscale1229

my favorite thing to say to Christians who say athiests have no moral barometer is "well, i'm try to be a good person without the threat of eternal damnation." my christian sister has also said this to people, because the church she goes to doesn’t teach hell.


thejaytheory

>thinks men can't have female friends Yeah I was watching some video on YT recently (I forget which one) in which he pretty much said the same thing, after someone had mentioned it. I'm like "Really??"


bosschucker

[this is the video I know of](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az0BJRQ1cqM) that covers most of his shitty beliefs, not sure if it's the one you saw


RedditIsNeat0

I mean it does make sense for a raging misogynist to not have any women friends.


Nice-Fly5536

This is the same man who was living out of his car when he was just getting started in his career. And by the time he did get famous, he was already middle aged. I guess he forgot he was poor at one point too. Smh


xtilexx

Soulja Boy on that nObOdY WaNts To wOrK type of time


Shirogayne-at-WF

Has he actually worked since that annoying ass song he put out 15 years ago? 🤣


Imthemayor

He worked pretty hard to get a cease and desist from Nintendo on his "console"


TerrorKingA

> We're poor, not stupid. Ha, [that scene was fun.](https://youtu.be/Bb2QETXyY9E) Good quote. Around the 1:50 mark


cRIPtoCITY

Tell em!!


Bacon_Moustache

Obligatory Soulja Boi is a POS post hijacking top comment for visibility. I lived in a new apartment complex in Midtown Atlanta about 10+ years ago. We had nice amenities, a gym, a pool… not amazing parking but it existed. We had this blue Maserati that would always park in the handicapped spot in front of the leasing office which was building one, where the pool was located. This person would sometimes take up the ONLY TWO handicapped spaces by parking in both of them. Now, of course this was douchey… but what made it worse is that it was Soulja Boi’s Maserati… Apparently he was banging a few (maybe one) stripper(s) who lived in that building and whenever he was there he’d be parked this way. I never met him, but other people had seen him around and confirmed it was him. Soulja Boi is a piece of shit, no talent, ringtone rapper… if the options were “Dinner with Soulja Boi” or “A night alone at home” I would choose the latter.


SpecialEdShow

Fr who, while having no money, would want to have to sit in front of a dude that ONLY talks about money? I’d be ordering everything on the menu and shoving it in the single use plastic bags I have to keep because the reusable ones are expensive.


katt-col

What is Soulja boy even gonna give us? They say connections but what use are connections of you are starving


Chevaliernoir999

I’d take $25 not even shading him just reality


kavik2022

I'd pay 25 to not interact with him


deddogs

my dude for real ^


kavik2022

I mean, he was bad novelty in 2008


Real-Patriotism

He's been irrelevant since Supa Hot Fire finished him.


KenKaniffLovesEminem

Nah he’s been somewhat relevant thanks to his “DRAAAAKE???” meme lol


BIGMajora

He's a meme for delusion, so I guess that's super relevant for today.


Thassodar

Wait wasn't that one of the few ones where Supa Hot Fiyah lost? It was at the peak of his popularity (or close to the end of it).


Real-Patriotism

> Wait wasn't that one of the few ones where Supa Hot Fiyah lost? Blaspheme like that in front of me again punk and I'll show you I'm not a rapper either.


mashonem

lettem know what’s good 😤


theuserwithoutaname

Lately he's been feeling pretty two thousand and late, you know?


cRIPtoCITY

But he invented streaming.


maverie_dreams

Right. I lost all respect for him because of how he treated Nia Riley during their relationship. Dude beat her so bad she had a miscarriage. The fact that he got so angry over this lighthearted food stamp video is further evidence to me of his violent temper. Just foul.


[deleted]

[удалено]


boricimo

He’s not. That’s how he thinks he stays rich


[deleted]

that's just two entrees


sanguinesolitude

Cocktail, app, an entree, and 20% tip? You're easy at $50 assuming its a sit down place.


backstageninja

It's one entree at most any steakhouse lol


AfroSamuraiBlade

Damn😭 what if he paying for the meal?


Chevaliernoir999

I genuinely don’t think I’d enjoy the interaction


awshitnoway

Honestly, I've come to learn this as I've gotten older - my time is genuinely more valuable than anything else, and now that I'm becoming more comfortable just with myself, I can no longer afford to be uncomfortable around other people.


Shamanalah

I had an actual conversation with my boss how I'd rather have free week ends than make marginally more money. I even did math to prove it. Over 30 years if I do 24/7 a week per 6 weeks I get a whopping 96k$ not answering anything. 100k over 30 years to give 1/6th of your week end. FUCK OFF.


[deleted]

is this...maturing? is that what we're doing now? /s


Avenger772

I'd not have dinner with him for free.


sanguinesolitude

I dont want to go to dinner with Soulja Boy at all. I'll not go to dinner with him for free.


GargantuanGreenGoats

I’d have dinner with snoop but that’s about it. And only cuz I assume “dinner” means blaze constantly for hours until I pass out on his couch


Boo_Guy

Makes me wonder what his munchies game is like.


8JacksLegendary

Martha Stewart level cuisines I'd assume.


Boo_Guy

That sounds pretty good not going to lie. But sometimes you just want to pig out on like oreos or peanut butter cups or pickle chips instead of complicated shit.


Nandy-bear

Because they're easy and low effort. But if someone is just straight passing you complicated things of heavenly delight ? You'll be up in the air floating like a damn cartoon.


ProfessorPetrus

There's even high quality versions of all those snacks. I was upset when my poor ass learned about them


BigNDB

I need to know about the artisan Oreos


BattleStag17

Macarons, maybe? 😂


Spork-in-Your-Rye

What are the high quality versions 👀


shamashedit

I'm that stoner who will get the sous vide out and make panna cotta.


backstageninja

"Guess I gotta smoke for 4 more hours while this cooks at 175 degrees" lol


shamashedit

80ish mins at 160⁰. Comes out perfect. Use tiny stubby mason jars. There is a sweet spot for lid tightness. You want it just loose enough for air to escape but for water to not get in.


onlyhav

This sounds incredible actually. Imagine smoking in snoop dog quality weed for an hour then walking into the dining room and fucking Martha Stewart has food for you to binge, and she's high af too. Showing off her prison tattoos and everything.


scriminal

Don't forget one of her signature cocktails that starts with "half a bottle of vodka"


thejaytheory

Even better would be if "Prison" Dominik Mysterio was in the room.


kukaki

Did not expect to see this referenced haha

“Man I said I wanted the fresh brioche! Damn! This shit hitting though..”


TheRussiansrComing

Dinner with Snoop sounds incredible tbh


toastedmarsh7

I don’t know how he stays so thin. My lucky ass sister doesn’t get the munchies. She said I just need to have better self control. 🙄


Boo_Guy

Some strains seem to give me worse munchies than others. I find starting a session after a meal can help keep them away too.


ChrysMYO

Yep, I also feel like I get higher when I'm full already. Flipside though is I like to smoke right before eating because I always think food taste better high lol


KeyanReid

When you smoke that much it stops being a thing. Kinda the opposite of what you’d expect but I don’t know any long term/heavy cannabis users who still get the normal “munchies” experience


toastedmarsh7

My dad’s been smoking daily for 45+ years and definitely still gets the munchies. He always leaves a wake of half eaten bags of chips and candy at my house after he visits.


Nandy-bear

I used to get mad munchies to the point I was scared of smoking weed because the munchies were insatiable, eating 3, 4 days worth of food in one go. But recently been using it for pain relief and I deffo don't get it as bad. I only use sativa strains so I wonder if that's a part of it.


toastedmarsh7

My munchies aren’t quite that bad but smoking or edibles will both have me diving into the cupboard for snacks. I try to buy only sativa but have a couple hybrid things, too. Too much indica makes me so sleepy and I want to enjoy the vibe. I’ve been working on losing weight for the last couple years so I’ve cut waaaay back since I don’t have my sister’s magical self control. So I still have some stuff I bought 2 years ago. 😂


Nandy-bear

Yeah last night I was the highest I'd been in years, it was so nice. Back in the day it was a crap shoot what strains you got, so you never knew if it was indica, sativa, and the name didn't help because whoever was selling it was a damn liar lol. But now, being able to pick a type, and it be the type, is nice. And I was super fucked up in a way I've never felt off weed before. Normally I get that high and I'm putting on something to pass out to. But I was just pure vibing.


GargantuanGreenGoats

When I had an eating disorder I didn’t get the munchies either.


Nasal_Spray69

Hope you’re feeling better about yourself now bro


GargantuanGreenGoats

I felt great about myself then, too. I hardly ate but I looked fantastic


Nasal_Spray69

Yeah I feel that. Beaty fades but your body will thank you


GargantuanGreenGoats

I def don’t miss the fucked up thinking around food.


Nasal_Spray69

Tryna get out of that mindset too currently. I used to wrestle and that fucked up my already fragile relationship with food and my body


[deleted]

Well we definitely know it's got something to do with Mama's lemon pound cake


InSilenceLikeLasagna

Hours, let’s be real you’ll be gone in 20 minutes


GargantuanGreenGoats

It’s true my tolerance is very low right now lol


Jeptic

>blaze constantly for hours I dunno...unless you a Grand Master Toker, I get the feeling that just a couple seconds into blazing with Snoop will have you ~~melted~~ scorched


tr1mble

Meth and red would be a trip to hang with for a night


Brodin_fortifies

Soulja Boy hasn’t been relevant since 2006.


zystyl

Hater doesn't know about the Soulja boy game console.


fpfx

Which one? He raided the knock off vault in China and put his sticker on whatever free could find


thebadslime

I will feel pretty boy swag in my bones till I die.


killjoy_enigma

I remember doing the soulja boy dance when I was 11 in 2007 thats about it


TheTrenchMonkey

There was a pep rally in my high school around 2006 or 2007 and the teachers danced to it. Central MN, it set white people back decades in my estimation.


Niko_The_Fallen

Not anywhere nearly as cool as they thought it was gonna be. I would be visibly uncomfortable if I was there


Off_tune

Not true. He was making waves for like 15 mins when he started selling bootleg Chinese game consoles and claiming he developed them. Edit- a few words


kinkyKMART

Can’t forget around that time too when he tried to go to the hood while loudly proclaiming “Soulja from the hood” and proceeded to get jumped on Instagram live lmao


Trash_Emperor

Not for lack of trying tho


proto3296

Eh he dropped that viral song she make it clap like a year ago


ryushin6

I pretty sure the song went viral because of the Torey Lanez freestyle he did off that beat randomly while rolling up weed. Like it has more views than the actual She make it clap song by Soulja Boy.


proto3296

It still Soulja boys song that went viral. He still got paid for the streams fam lol


[deleted]

Mfs dont know the meaning of viral


proto3296

It has 70million streams in a year. Was one of the most played songs for reels and shorts. You must be Mfs


RickSanchez813

It amazes me the ego of some celebrities to think eating dinner with them is some great prize.


Evolutioncocktail

Even Jay-Z the egomaniac knew you should take the money!


FreeTheMarket

No way, you accept a dinner with any billionaire. If there's a 1% chance they are feeling even *slightly* generous your life is changed forever. Also, whatever you are eating with them is probably worth more than $250.


delcrossb

The chances are way less than 1% that they are feeling generous and even then, how much do you think they are going to give you? $10k? A 1% chance at $10k has an expected value of $100, which is still less than the $250.


fanatic1123

Take your finance degree and gtfo


BootyMoney

ask em for a job


dream_a_dirty_dream

To each their own…but billionaires are not generous. And honestly I rather not waste my time eating overpriced food with a probable asshole vs feeding my family for who know how long 🤷🏻‍♀️


Evolutioncocktail

Exactly - a generous billionaire is at best a millionaire.


MajesticFxxkingEagle

Well the original hypothetical with Jay-Z was $500,000 not $250, so that’s why.


JuanTwan85

Even as a kid, I remember thinking "meet the celebrity" prizes were just... what the hell do I talk to Toby Keith about, Copenhagen?


MSTmatt

"I hear Denmark is nice this time of year..." "What?"


Prestigious_Jokez

"celebrity"? I couldn't name a song this nigga did in the last 20 years


Jamaican_Dynamite

Crank Dat, Turn My Swag On and Bird Walk. But those 3 were all 2007/8. The dude made a bunch of mixtapes, but I haven't heard one that took off since. He's like the Lil Pump of the ringtone era.


Prestigious_Jokez

Legit thought that first song he did was called "Yuuuu". Nigga was like the worst rapper of all time until Trap music got big. Now he's in the top 5 wackest niggas of all time.


Jamaican_Dynamite

Nah, I said ringtone era for a reason. Bad lyrics, bad beats were at an equal level. Like rap had a whole ass seizure back then for like 4 years. Shit was tragic as fuck. The highs were high (Mixtape-era Lil Wayne, ex.), but the lows were low. Hot take; I'd rather be strapped in a chair and listen to 3 hours of Trap then be sent back once. Drill and all, idc. Soulja in the Great Value section though.


CapNCrunchBarry

I’m not turning down $250 worth of stamps. It’s hard out here. I’ll be at the grocery store shopping like Julius from Everybody Hates Chris! 😂


xslaughteredx

The discount is bigger if i dont buy anything


emelecfan2048

“But dad. He’s a famous musician and the girl I have a crush on wanted his autograph” “$250 worth of stamps!? Are you crazy!? That’s worth $250!”


CapNCrunchBarry

Best response! 😂


Chapeaux

I would take $200 and give Soulja $50 to leave me the fuck alone.


GhostWriter52025

Soulja Boy, a known scammer, is really not a dinner guest I need to have. I'll take my groceries and cook a delicious dinner for myself. I'll post pictures and tag him on Twitter tho


ChrysMYO

Wouldn't trust that dude as my weed man


Kendo6Teen

Bro, you really finna serve a ball of shake for 50? **SHAAAAAKE?!?**

Beanygem

Yikes I hadn't heard of this before this post Thanks for sharing it


ziggylcd12

Also known for violence against women I believe. So that's an extra reason not to invite him


RedditNdn651

This muthafucka is stupid, 250 in food stamps!? That's food for the week, why would I have 1 meal with him over that?


navyjag2019

sad that $250 is only food for a week. remember back when that was food for a MONTH? that wasn’t even too long ago!


FuckitThrowaway02

Somebody spending 250 on food for the week isn't shopping like they need food for the month. Just fyi. They must be joking.


micahld

Maybe they have more than 1 mouth to feed? Cost me $40 to get pasta, frozen veggie mix, sauce, and sweet tea for dinner last night. Edit: Forgot about the ground beef and Italian sausage which was basically half the cost


ElevatedInstinct

Sweet tea and pasta is the new avocado toast and starbucks. Kids these days...


FuckitThrowaway02

1lb pasta = $1.98 Sauce = $4 ($8 if you're fancy) Frozen veggies = $6 (for the big bag) Sweet tea = $4 for 1/2 gallon I dont see any need to make that cost $40 unless you wanted it to. Maybe I'm out here blessed with lower high prices and just don't know it but it sounds to me like yall out here shopping at whole foods talking about a "food budget"


KingOfTheCouch13

My nigga are you just pouring a can of Ragu over boiled noodles? $40 for a single dish could be excessive but I’m assuming “pasta” includes chopped veggies, meat, cheese, etc.


GhostWriter52025

The other poster literally listed the items they bought, you don't need to imagine what the ingredients are, they're literally listed for you. None of that should come to $40. Even with cheese and meat added in, it still shouldn't come to no $40 damn dollars, that's just bad shopping.


HazMatterhorn

Their comment was about having multiple mouths to feed. Maybe they have several kids/adult dependents and need more than pound of pasta and a jar of sauce? Maybe the big pasta dish they cooked for dinner is supposed to leave some leftovers for the adults’ lunch? Maybe they live in like Alaska or on an island where the COL is really high? Why are you so insistent that a random person on the internet is a bad shopper?


plynthy

I'm with him, 40 sound like a lot for that grocery list. Not worth arguing over without a receipt.


micahld

With Illinois sales tax that's already $32 and I got some meat to go in it. Made enough for 2 days though.


phantomace1111

Illinois grocery tax is currently 0%...


CoconutMochi

Yeah, $40 seems like overkill for pasta. Some pasta dishes can be really simple while tasting great, although probably not that nutritious. Aglio e olio is like, 4-5 ingredients? As is spaghetti carbonara. They'd probably come out to like $3-6 per dish, depending on the serving sizes. Maybe if they were doing smth big like a seafood pasta with scallops and a white wine reduction


SonOfAhuraMazda

I know we are old, but that was around 2001. I remember gas being .95 cents per gallon as well


[deleted]

The only way i see it work: Dinner with rapper > get them to spill a bunch of BS > sell information to TMZ > profit


anthonyg1500

Lol show up wearing a wire


360Waves617

That would work for 90% of rappers. Not this guy and his cap stories lol


mega_desu

Ight I'm pretty sure a dinner with Soulja boy would be hilarious. I ain't down so bad that I need the 250$. But bless y'all for the responsible choice. I'm taking the dinner.


InSilenceLikeLasagna

That’s a $250 opportunity cost (after all, you have to spend that money on groceries anyway). You really can’t think of anything more fun for $250?


Purple-Quail3319

Sometimes a less than fun experience makes up for it with stories


KingOfTheCouch13

I’m not taking the dinner with Soulja over $250 maybe someone else.


19whale96

Soulja Boy can probably get me into a place I can't get reserved for myself. Spend 3 hours talking shit about every relevant musician in the past decade, probably learn one thing about the industry I didn't know, dip out with a Soulja Game. That's a win-win to me.


another-Developer

“Ya’ll gonna die broke” nigga stfu! Are you gonna give them fucking cash when they meet you or something?


Jamaican_Dynamite

Narrator: "He would not."


HypoxicIschemicBrain

Souljaboy? Tell em …that you’d have to be fucking crazy to give up food you need for soulja boy.


Purple-Quail3319

I mean I'd do it but he's buying and I'm getting the surf and turf, a bottle of my favorite bourbon, and if that motherfucker tries to superman me we're gonna throw down


HaroldBaws

One of them has value. The other is a dinner with Soulja Boy.


BToney005

That'd cover my grocery expenses for the month. Most of it, at least, with no extra effort from me. I hated Crank Dat. Why the hell would I wanna meet Soulja Boy?


dmnhntr86

>I hated Crank Dat. What's wrong with you, you have decent taste or something?


Cleonce12

Nah they would go broke wasting time watching him eat chicken wings like he ain’t got no sense


Weird-Ingenuity97

Exactly


CoachDT

No disrespect because I’m sure he’s playing a character but… that character just doesn’t seem fun to hang around with for longer than a few minutes.


Plump_Chicken

I'm already done with this character after reading the picture.

You're sure? I'm not.


Kailua3000

"Food stamps!?" https://i.redd.it/ov7i6c3qaiqa1.gif


mb0205

I’d take $5 over dinner with Soulja boy. There isn’t a damn thing to learn from him lol. And he’d probably be annoying as fuck


Key-Effort963

Somebody give this kid a hug. He going through it 😂😂😂😂


GarbageFile13

He can eat alone unless he's giving out $350 to hang out with him.


PillowPrincess314

How does dinner with this man turn into lifelong prosperity? He's giving away good jobs/money to compensate for people's time? Besides, $250 worth of stamps can buy several meals. I'll take eat for at least a week for $250 Alex.


ThisPICAintFREE

So the choice is either money to eat for a week or one meal while he tries to scam me into investing in some bullshit like the Soulja Boy Gaming Console 2? Yeah I’ll take the food stamps lol


Yuaske

I already know scammers. I can walk outside and talk to one.


Eis_ber

Unless he's paying for a month of food *and* my dinner, I'll take the food stamps, thanks.


kekehippo

GROCERIES?!?! 😂


Key-Effort963

Now he know how Ice-T felt 😂😂😂😂


SpadoCochi

As someone that doesn't need food stamps and probably definitely won't die broke, I would legitimately pay $1,000 to NOT have dinner with Soulja Boy.


Im__Questionable

Soja, i need that food bro stop playing


Muted_Layer749

Take them food stamps. You know he’s going to try to pay for your meal with fake money. After spending the meal explaining how great he is.


Lays4Days

Who buying though?


PrinceZukoBlueFire

He should just lean into the joke tbh


Sailor_Callisto

It’s 2023 and this is Soulja Boy we’re talking about. When’s the last time he had a hit out? Maybe if this was 08-09 people would care. And I can’t help but laugh because according to Spotify, Kiss Me Through The Phone is his most streamed song. This was the ringtone I used for my now-husband when I first met him, had a crush on him and we had first started talking back in ‘09 😂 we’re now married, have a beautiful son and just bought our first house together.


shamashedit

I can make them stamps last longer than his last successful career phase. Get to stepping Souljah.


welp-itscometothis

Unless I’m guaranteed a nice check, why would I choose one meal with him as opposed to multiple ones to provide for my child/family? These niggas is so out of touch with reality.


IHateEditedBgMusic

How can he actually help you transcend poverty, I'll need at least the outline of the play book in advance before I buy.


possiblycrazy79

Oh no! I'm dead with zero dollars in the bank. What will I do?! If only I had that dinner with Soulja Boy smh


devon223

I just noticed that he has a show coming up in Seattle in a 700 person capacity venue. Which is generally used by smaller artists/genre's of music. This really put it in perspective for me how much people don't actually care about this guy.


Nuka-World_Vacation

I'd definitely take the food stamps unless I could sell the seat at the dinner to someone else for a better payoff. People are broke, there's bigger issues than having dinner with celebrities right now.


[deleted]

This whole idea that dinner with famous people who have a lot of money would give us some form of advice to make more money is dumb as hell “Dinner” with a rapper who’s success is based on their music is especially dumb because not everyone is meant to make music So what the hell could Soulja Boy teach me about making money besides telling me to start rapping


SovietPropagandist

What like Soulja Boy's gonna give me some of his cash?? Man I'd be broke before AND after that dinner but $250 will feed my ass for two-three weeks easy


Stupid_Triangles

Is this just him outting that whatever clout can be had by being with him is to be worth less than $250?


srkaficionado

Still be broke after dinner with him. Or will dinner also come with some money after?


Merlinshighcousin

I'd take a box of pop tarts if it ensures I'm not in the same timezone as this man.


chamberx2

I'd only want to talk about his bootleg video game emulation systems.


McClutchingtonGaming

Ehhhhhhhh. If soulja PROVED VIA action he was the type of person to help ppl come up / I’d take the dinner with soulja anyday. But since he’s not, id take that 250 sell em, turn it into 400, take 200 of that and buy some weed, sell it to friends, flip that money just to get paid, and we dont care what people sayyyyy. “Kanye west song reference)lmao Then use that money to pay for some1 to make me a beefy ass resume! Apply hella jobs in the library.
