Soulja Boy is still rapping to it...
Travis basically took the same rhythmn and beat and added drums and snare to it...big whoop >.>
There's only so much that you can do to fix a jalopy.
If you listened at all you'll hear he added drums, snare, guitar riff, etc. Whereas, originally all Soulja Boy can conjure up for a beat is a six year old playing with a Casio synthesizer purchased from K-mart. Heck, I even suspect that it was a pre-made program on said synthesizer. Even if you took away the lyrics, I'd sooner (and gladly) listen to it than Crank That.
i don't think Travis > Soulja boy at all...
If you seriously think that, then you don't know music as an art and as a business at all.
Let's see...
1. Talent and production: advantage Travis Barker by a longshot
2. Total number of hits: advantage Travis Barker (Blink 182)
3. Combined record sales, concert sales, airplay: advantage Travis Barker (Blink 182)
All I can think about whenever I hear Crank That is that Nas is right. Hip Hop is dead.
