BREAKING NEWS: SOHH.com Blogger Dead-- Marking End of an Era

| 85 Comments

If you are a regular reader of this blog, then you know that today is SOHH Soulman's last day .

Yup y'all it's my last day. I started Soulful in August of 2005 and it went from being the underdog blog on a hip hop site to being the #1 ranked blog on SOHH.com. A lot of that was due to my insider information thanks to all my friends at the labels, but the main reason Soulful flourished is because of the readers and commenters.

Y'all are some of the dopest bloggers on the internet and if it weren't for y'all Soulful wouldn't have some of the most stellar moment it had. And for that, I thank you.


As for what's next for Soulman... I am gonna spend the next 18 months traveling internationally (Japan, Brazil, Ghana) and re-focus myself and my writing. I love urban entertainment but it's time for me to move on. One can only hate without conscious but for so long.

i am posting this video in case you never got a chance to see what a brotha looks like...


If any of you give a damn, you can keep up with me and my shit on my personal website WW4P.com (Will Work For Power). Get at me on myspace at myspace.com/ww4p or YouTube at youtube.com/ww4p.


So I'll end with a couple video interviews, that will serve as a best of Soulman...


Janet Jackson


Keyshia Cole


Wendy Williams


Mary J. Blige


Mario


Again thank you... and God bless... (a new blogger will appear on Monday, SHE is dope so y'all be good to her.)

Good luck. peace. Take Hate Hate and more Hate with you!

Good luck on your journey!

Soulman words can not express how much I am going to miss you. While I know I am known as the “troublemaker” on various SOHH blogs, I couldn’t have gotten as far as I have without you standing behind me battling it out with the SOHH gods.

We were a tag team, and its because of OUR hard work and dedication that has our blogs on the tips of peoples tongues. Our “blog hard or go home” mantra has elevated the game to unconscionable proportions. Whom ever takes your place better get with the program. The Soulman brought the goods. And he brought them consistently EVERY SINGLE DAY. You got some big shoes to fill.

To the Soulman; Nobody did it like you did. Good or bad, you always put your thang in it. I could only dream of being as good of a writer as you.

Peace King and much success to you. Maybe they'll let you do a guest blog oneday. So since you are leaving....lol....maybe there is some contact info you'd like to give a real hiphopper so he can get his foot in the door at SOHH.COM. (niggas always wanna hook up HAHAHA)

My favorite Soulman moments: Sunshine Anderson, Bobby Valentino, Lloyd, Ne-Yo, and the relentless updates on the Music World Family. Whatever happen to all those groups MK was pushing? SOHH will miss you, well at least it's unique visitors counter will. I came to SOHH.com to read your blogs and I will follow you around the world (myspace.com/ww4p.com) forever. I am surprised you haven't been nominated for Fierce Blogger of 07 or Blogger of Shade or The Truth Will Set You Free Blogger Awards. Oh you just did. What you have revealed and continued to show the industry is how it needs to look at itself. You are the music industry's man. However you reinvent yourself for your next venture, believe me, we will be watching, reading, or something to it!

Good luck to you Soul Man. I wish you the best in your journey.


P.S. Is there a chance that you will return to SOHH.com in the near future?

Damn I just came in here to say "good riddance" to the bitch ass blogger and what do I see as the first comment. Chi Town Bird Chest aka Beyonce on my dick. Damn nigga don't you have a hobby or something besides dick riding.


Also lol @ Gayant and his homo comment.

Good luck in all your endeavours. Hopefully the new soulblogger will not be a soulja boy knownothing about soul

SOBBING UNCONTROLABLY. HA HA

Anyway good luck with your future, and thank you for the years of entertainment.

You know I have an acid tongue sometimes but it was all in jest and hope you well for the future, good bye.

P.S.: SMH at the title of this blog, was that necessary?

SO I HAFTA SAY FUCK YOU, YOU LOOK LIKE DEADLEE WITH THAT PATCHY ASS BEARD, NIGGA SHAVE, WTF?! NIGGA I WISH YOU WERE DEAD FOR MAKING ME THINK GAYANT WAS FINALLY OFFED.

Good Job Soulman. Good luck in the future homie. Keep writing that dope material and let the haters fall back.

Peace.

Hey man.. Peace,Love and Happiness...Take Care on your journey.

Damn Sohhman, u had to get me one time before u left. U said a blogger was dead, and i thought Gyant had that monster all along, and to day it finally took him to that big free clinic in the sky. I hope this new chick isn't a dumb bird like Skeetz.


To the Soulman; Nobody did it like you did. Good or bad, you always put your thang in it.
^^^^
@ Gyant, that was the gayest shit u ever wrote. We all know Soul man was soft, but ur just plain gay.

Hey Soulman, I hope what you seek on your journey will be discovered. Please remember that inspiration can come from anywhere and anything...if you allow yourself to be inspired.

Enjoy you new career @ Walmart as the greeter!

Hey Soulman--
Even though I met you once (at the MTB4 Season Finale last August) I could see then that you had a certain tenaciousness for what you do, one that I am constantly growing towards attaining as a blogger and as a journalist. I think what you are encountering is exciting and brave, and I wish you well in your travels. When you visit Brazil, PLEASE visit Salvadaor De Bahia, it's where you find alot of culture and discover the history of the African ancestors that inhabited there. Definitely worth a visit. I wish you luck and may our paths cross again in the future.

*ties a bow*

I'm actually happy AS HELL you're leaving because you're a dope writer. I've seen your non-entertainment writing and the other bloggers on SOHH could only wish to achieve that level of quality, intuition and originality. Now that you bouncing, I can finally take this SOHH-related URL off my site.

But in all seriousness, getting out and gaining perspective is what real writers do, so it doesn't surprise me that this would be the next phase of your journey.

Peace my brother.

noooooo!

don't go!


please?

Sohh Gyant finals leaps out the closet

I couldn’t have gotten as far as I have without you standing behind me battling it out with the SOHH gods.

We were a tag team.

Soulman brought the goods. And he brought them consistently EVERY SINGLE DAY. You got some big shoes to fill.

To the Soulman; Nobody did it like you did. Good or bad, you always put your thang in it.

A big No homo..


Good luck with everything SOulful, but u and Gyant are looking mad uspect right now..

Good luck soulman in your future endeavors...............

Soulman,you were the top reason that I started to come
Sohh.com.


This site is gonna be damn near dead without this blog, but I understand that you have to move on.


Good Luck on your journey, Much Love and I will definitely be checking out for you


peace and love

Thanks for all them "hook-ups"..

Soulman, it's not gonna be the same without you. Sohh Soulful has been my homepage for a couple years... I'm gonna miss your blogs. Thanks for the music... and for all the love you've shown my girl Janet, LoL.

Good luck man!

Soulman! I haven't commented in a while, but I have been keeping up with the blog for a few years now and I have to say its gotten me through many boring days at work (plus given me great info on music!) Be blessed in all you do, and I'll be waiting for the Mariah Carey biography!

Always hate to see a good blog bite the dust, but good luck.

Always hate to see a good blog bite the dust, but good luck.

Goodbye SOULMAN! I loved your respect for all things R&B, even though I hated your obsessive love for that new Mariah Carey song.


Is another person with respect for all things R&B going to be replacing you?

peace 7.

Hey Soulman,

I've been gone for a minute but I'm back. It's been good debating music and artists with you. This was the only blog on SOHH that I actually took time to really check out.

Good luck with all your endeavors. It won't be the same without you here though...

I'll be hitting you up on your myspace...as soon as I get time to set mine up lol.

Be good man...I'm out.

Aint this a bitch...what am I gonna do in between classes now? Ive been following this blog for my entire college life and i must say i'm sad to see you go. Who was there when I needed the latest DING news?: SOULMAN. Who was there when anyone got outta line about Mariah? SOULMAN. Who was there to son me whenever I came here to talk smack? Thats right SOULMAN. But on a serious note all the times I needed to relax or get a good life I would come on this blog & I will be leaving forever after I right this. Its been real yall!

Best of Luck Soulman! You will be missed...

@ SOHH Gyant says... I couldn’t have gotten as far as I have without you standing behind me battling it out with the SOHH gods.


THAT IS SOME GAY SHIT RIGHT THERE GYANT WITH HIM RIGHT BEHIND YOU I DONT KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE A IN THE CLOSET HOMO STATEMENT!!

All the best Soulman! You will be missed! You were the best distraction from doing actual work! Thank you for everything and best of luck!

It's been nice knowing you and commenting on your ever evolving blog! I hope that everything works out. Doing good deeds is always the best way to make the universe take notice.

Good luck!

you niggas is so stupid! its a rap! goodluck! for real for real! you are beyond dumb at this point! you must be! beyond your brain copacity or some dumb shit! get ready! for real for eral! no question! at all! I’d say Jay-Z’s dealings with these people definitely falls into a pattern of activity that’s had the effect, over the past several hundred years, of denying black people the world over - save for a few tokens - the ability to attain any real wealth.

Or am I reading too much into this? What do you fruits think?

Damn I thought that somebody offed Gyant but i was wronged..but i've have never really comment just been a ghost reader on this and the atl blog..but I like your work and its sad for you to go..good luck on whats ahead for you and your endeavors...
