As he does on a regular basis, young rapper Soulja Boy Tell'Em posted a new video blog last week, where he announced his "Let's Go Platinum In A Week" campaign for his forthcoming album, iSouljaBoyTellEm.

During his comedic vlog, the rapper breaks down several reasons why his fans and even his haters should be a part of the campaign.

Here's a few of them:

"Because it got a lot of songs on it."

"Because I got tattoos on my neck."

"Because it's my second album."

"Because I'm trying to make some money."

"Because I'm coming out a week after 50 Cent, and I got to sell more than his ass."

"Because if I don't, I'm gonna be a one hit wonder for real."

"If I don't go platinum, it's your fault. Because you didn't buy the CD."

Because "I got a Gucci trash can."

"Because last year, I was on four front covers of four different magazines."

"Because Arab says so."

So, how do fans or haters join?

"How do you join? Simple, buy the God damn album," Soulja Boy ends his vlog with a laugh.

iSouljaBoyTellEm is slated for release December 16.

This kids music is garbage. They need to just put him in a clown suit. Watch what happens to him when he gets kicked to the curb by his label. He's gonna try and switch it up & be gangsta. That will be hilarious!! The people in Illinois & Indiana love his stupid ass. That cause they are a bunch or rural white kids that think it cool to a hick wanna be gangsta. I know cause a friend of mine attends VU in Indiana. They play that superman garbage in the bars & radio & think its "cool".

Let me get this straight. He wants to be put out crappy music and then beg people to run out and support his music? Nigga Plz! We are in a muthafuckin rescission, ain't nobody about to spend their hard earned money on some bullshit. He is lucky to even be a one hit wonder. Goodbye!
