Ya'know, I thought ide heard the very worst that the music industry had to offer many, many times. but that was before i heard Soulja Boy's songs "Anime" and "Goku".
I have a hard time understanding what he's saying, but he basically just says stuff about cars/women and mumbles alot while occasionally saying "anime" and naming a character. One woulda assume he only knows 3 anime though DBZ, Deathnote and pokemon.
Remember children, if your going to make it big in the rap/hip hop industry, you should drink in moderation and only at appropriate times. That means its not ok to down 20 bottles of vodka before a recording session, as our good friend soulja boy ably proves.
He also apparently had a few to many when he was watching DBZ, because the start of one of the songs is "B***h i look like Goku"....ummm, no you dont my drunken friend...

IN OTHER NEWS....
How many of us have ever thought of naming our children after anime characters? ASCII Media Works has recently onducted a poll of the top 20 names people give to children from anime.

Are those names actually from people who gave them to there kids because of the anime or just popular names that happen to be in anime? Because a lot of those names are fairly common for Japanese to have even without it being copied from an anime.

The former. People who have used (or intend to use) the name of the character for the name of their child and where inspired to do so because of the anime.
The anime named is the one most people stated that they chose the name from.

I would reccomend to anyone to watch Fullmetal Alchemist.
No, it has not been edited by that 4kids crap and is pretty good. You can watch the whole series on YouTube.
Also, Fullmetal Alchemist brotherhood I HEAR is good, however, the last half of the series can be seen on YouTube, I personally won't watch it until they put the first half on.
