the haterz	Blender: "The problem is, for as much as the 18-year-old MC and singer wants to represent her generation, she spends most of Voice of the Young People angrily talking about herself. Though there’s slick, occasionally dynamite production … the lyrics rarely rise above defensive boasting."	Entertainment Weekly: "'Crank That' is diverting enough for three and a half minutes, but most of his debut, Souljaboytellem.com, is a teenage wasteland filled with monotonously looped chants and agonizing blunt-force beats. At least he owns a cool domain name."
