I’ve been trying to ignore this whole Ice T vs. Soulja Boy brouhaha for a while, but it just won’t go away. In case you’re just returning from vacation overseas, the beef started when Ice T remarked that Soulja Boy “single-handedly killed hip-hop” in addition to telling him to “eat a d*ck.” Soulja Boy deferred to his usual response to older rappers, “N*gga you old as hell…you was born before the Internet was made…” Actually, I’m not doing Soulja Boy’s response any justice. He straight-up ethered Ice T. (Watch all the videos below.)
Kanye West weighed in on the beef via his blog yesterday. You won’t believe who he’s riding with on this one.
Says Kanye West:
“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”
As for me, I’m not riding with anyone in this case for 3 reasons:
1) This is such an unevenly matched-up beef it’s not even funny;
2) Neither Soulja Boy nor Ice T is relevant in my world right now;
3) I’m all about a battle, what the f*ck is “beef”?

how can u blame a 17 year old for the problems in hip hop. people like ice-t are saying its dead because they can’t have there way.
IF U DON’T LIKE SOULJA BOY MUZIK DON’T LISTEN TO IT. IT NOT LIKE HE SAYING HE GOING TO KILL EVERBODY. PLUS ICE T CAME AT HIM A DAMN KID I WOULD SPEAK UP FOR MYSELF TO. IF HIS MUZIK IS GARBAGE LET BE I DON’T THINK GARBAGE LAST LONG.
Souja boy will never last, no true skills. Coming up from the ghetto is a lie, Souja crew is soft. Theres no way you can bumped souja in your car or anywhere other than a club where 99% of the people are drunk, and not get laughed at and thats a fact. Majority of people who paid money for his records have a vagina or should have one. Who cares what kanye has to say its errelavent.
Men, Ice-t stop being ridiculous… Soulja Boy is just hustlin… like u used to pimp out b’tchz back then… U just jealous… cuz u can’t create sh*t right…
Soulja Boy is garbage… Snoop and Ice T are right, man… How the fuck does Soulja Boy come back with “OLD ASS NIGGAAAA!!!”? It’s good, out of the heart hip hop vs pop hop. I think Kanye got just a little retarded here tho… Soulja Boy = Nas? GTFO.
I am on Soulja’s side because he has a connection with the kids in the world and is actually trying to tell us to be a better person & shit so cool ya fuckin boots & leave Soulja Boy alone damn!

Kanye is garbage nas is one of the best new school rappers
Kanye was drunk or high. Or maybe getting a handjob, so he couldn’t speak correctly. That’s why he said that
Soulja Boy is a whack rapper, but he can a comedian tomorrow.
I’m with ice on this soulja boy is probably one of the worst rappers ever to relase a track I think some one should go and beat the shit out of his 17y/o ass oh and I like kanye but wtf!!! comparing nas to soulja fag that’s just straight up blasphemy someone needs to give kanye a wake up slap as well
Qué les pasa kabrones??? Ice-T is a deity in hip-hop history. Ice-T is a chingón General ese, but Soulja Boy is nothin’ but a pinche soldadito ja,ja,ja No mames, there’s no fuckin’ comparison, loko… Who am I riding with??? I’m down with the O.G. kabrón, of course…. I’m out, fuck peace!!!
