"Soulja Boy" got nominated for a grammy? Are you kidding me?
Dude, don't even get me started on f00kin' Soulja Boy. He is to Hip-Hop what a limp dick is to porno.

As for what makes something sound like Hip Hop or not, it's not the gear (as has been said). A moron with a pair of Technics SL-1200 MK2 decks and an MPC-60 is still just another moron. And a genius like, say, D.J. Premier or J. Dilla could make somethin' that bangs with two soup cans and a ball of yarn. It's not the what...it's the who.
