Soulja Boy's influence on today's hip-hop game is undeniable. From making beats on Fruity Loops to making waves with the "Crank That" dance, Soulja Boy is one of the first rappers to take full advantage of the internet to boost his career. Now that he's an established star, Soulja Boy is truly feeling himself. During an interview with Vlad TV, the Atlanta MC claimed that he was the main inspiration behind a lyric in Drake's smash "Started From The Bottom."

“I wear my jewelry all the time,” Soulja Boy said. “What Drake said in that song? ‘I wear all my chains on even when I’m in the house.’ He got that shit from me. You know what I’m saying? I’m in the house I got four, five chains on...Cause I never had nothing. I come from the hood. I come from the ghetto. I come from the brokest hood in Atlanta, Georgia on the West Side. I never had shit, so when I made my first million dollars at 17 I said ‘Nigga, I’mma ball out. I want niggas to know that I made it.’ So, this is a statement of me not having nothing and coming to being something. Making nothing to something.”
