    Soulja Boy has definitely evolved on this album. Though while he isn't a lyrical genius by any means, you can tell he's taking his career seriously, and his style is growing along with himself as a person. Good album, especially if your a fan.

    Soulja boy was saying this album would be personal and step his lyrical game up. He did step it up but not as much as promised. 1. First Day Of School - pretty much his non lyrical whatever. It is hard to tell if he is singing the choruses or rapping his verses. Good paino beat though. 2.5/5 2. Touchdown - crank dat sequel. It does have better lyrics though. Could see this as a big hit.Soulja boy was saying this album would be personal and step his lyrical game up. He did step it up but not as much as promised. 1.

    4. Speakers Going Hammer - 3rd single. 2nd best song. He tries hard to be lyrical and packs some punchlines. Boi-1da provides a monster beat. 4.5/5 5. Pretty Boy Swag - 1st single. Worst song. Lyrics are horrible. 1/5 6. 30 thousand 100 million F/ lil b and Arab - 2nd worst song. Bad beat and the 3 rappers verses suck. 2/5 7. Mean Mug F/ 50 cent - 5th best song. It sounds corny at first but is pretty good. 3.5/5 8. Blowing me kisses - 2nd single. 4th best song. It is catchy but kind of buble gum pop. 4/5 9. Fly - best song. He tries lyrically and this song has a great beat. It's pretty personal. 5/5 10. Grammy F/ ester dean - 3rd best song. Soulja is lyrical and it has a good hook. 4.5/5 Overall it gets a 4/5. I'm not a soulja fan but some songs are pretty good.    … Expand

    The randomness and self-aware satire is forsaken in favor of more simple party music, but if anyone's custom built to deliver that sort of project, it's a millionaire 20-year old who's had free reign to do just about whatever he wants in his personal life since he was 17.

    Though The DeAndre's Way only has 10 tracks, it feels as if it has four or five too many.

    I increasingly doubt I'll crank much of whatever comes next from this self-enamored rascal nearing the limits of his gig, but he's had his uses: He's vexed all the right sticklers and coined ample catchy hooks during the commercial breaks.
