Style Who Wore it Better? Air Yeezy Edition

It’s not hard to wear your favorite sneakers and dress sophisticated at the same time. Just think of it like rednecks and their mullets—business up top. Case in point: actor Tristan Wilds, Lil Wayne, and Soulja Boy were all recently seen wearing Kanye’s Air Yeezy with a grown man twist.

To balance out Kanye’s extravagant, futuristic yet retro signature shoe, all three dudes kept it clean and classy with cardigans. The seemingly unlikely pairing yielded a look that is smart and polished, but still cool and casual. But with all that said, who pulled off the look the best? Cast your vote below!

Music The 5 Most Infamous Rapper Impostors

Yesterday, an impostor posing as Eminem released a diss track targeting Soulja Boy. Given Slim Shady’s recent disputes with Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, this diss didn’t seem like that much of a stretch and we might have even believed that it was real for a good five seconds. But of course, it wasn’t.

No worries though. This isn’t the first time a wannabe-emcee has pulled the cloak over an unsuspecting public’s eyes. We thought stans were bad enough, but we actually managed to dig up dirt on five guys who wanted to be their favorite rapper. Literally.

The Complex 7 The Complex 7: Bow Wow

Uh oh, faux rap-retirement alert! There was news today that Bow Wow announced his retirement from music to focus on his acting. Do we believe him? Of course not. But really, hate him or love him, Bow Wow has accomplished a great deal for a 22-year-old: six successful studio albums, several lead movie roles (including the upcoming Hurricane Season, about a post-Katrina hoops team), and a few highly memorable appearances on Entourage. Most recently he reunited with longtime mentor Jermaine Dupri for the album New Jack City II, which dropped March 31.

Despite naming his album after the classic drug-gang film, Bow Wow sticks to what he knows best—making poppy records for the 106 & Park crowd. We recently asked Bow Wow our always-interesting Complex 7 questions. Read on to find the out his ultimate turnoff, the stupidest shit he’s ever done, and making up with Soulja Boy…

Music Digital Beef 101: How To Win A YouTube Video Battle

What’s beef, anyway? Is it talking greasy about your daughter for having octuplets after already having six kids? Is it slagging on your tween pop-sensation colleague? Prolly not, but that doesn’t stop everyone and their artificially-inseminated grandmother from taking their feuds to YouTube.

If you’re gonna go the digital route, though, you might want to take a second and get familiar with the new art of war, as pioneered by the original catfighters: rappers! Read on to see the 5 best ways to win a shit-talking video battle…

Music Soulja Boy Talks Sneakers, ‘Arab Money’ & Video Games

It's no secret that the Internet and the blogosphere have transformed the way artists get their music out in recent years. Tons of artists drop freestyles daily, but no one flipped the digital marketing script harder than Soulja Boy. Last year, the now 18-year-old rapper burst onto the scene with an infectious song and dance that racked up millions and millions of plays on YouTube'”Crank Dat” didn't go viral, it went straight Bubonic Plague.

Building on the initial “Crank Dat” success, Mr. Tellem has expanded his brand with Yums, a sneaker company that he co-owns, as well a new Soulja Boy-themed video game that he says will release in 2009 for the Xbox 360. Oh, and on December 16, he plans to drop his sophomore album iSouljaBoyTellEm. Complex caught up with the youngest in charge to talk about having another huge hit, why Interscope didn't want him on Busta’s “Arab Money Remix” and why he feels like anything Bow Wow does in the sneaker game, Soulja Boy could do better.

Music Who Is Soulja Boy’s White Rapper?

While promoting his sneaker brand Yums at the MAGIC trade show in August, Soulja Boy took a minute out to introduce White Tee, the first white rapper signed to his burgeoning label Stacks On Deck Entertainment.

You probably had the same reaction that we did: who the fuck is White Tee? He doesn’t have an internet following like SB did, he doesn’t have a song on the radio, and he doesn’t have a mixtape out. So who is White Tee and where did he come from? Complex did a little digging, and here’s what we found…
