Kanye West recently voiced his opinion on the matters between old school rapper Ice-T and new school rapper Soulja Boy. For those who have been trapped in a cave over the past week, Ice-T through a few shots at Soulja Boy claiming that he single handedly “killed hip hop.”
Check out what Kanye West thinks about it:
"Soulja boy is fresh ass hell and is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is sposed to be. He came from the hood, made his own beats, made up a new saying, new sound and a new dance with one song. He had all of America rapping this summer. If that ain’t Hip Hop then what is? A bunch of wannabe keep it real rappers that ain’t even relevant, recycling samples trying to act like it’s 96 again and all they do is hate on new shit? Niggas always talk about the golden age but for a 13 year old kid, this is the golden age!!! That song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning… that’s Nas level shit… he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas shit if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track “Silent Murder” on it. In closing… new niggas get ya money$$$$$$$$$$ Keep this shit fresh and original…. ain’t no fuckin’ rules to this shit and that’s what real hip hop is to me."
Damn 'Ye, I guess you about 87.2% cool after all [you was 100 before I read your statement].
