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.)

Ice T and Coco

Kanye West weighed in on the beef via his blog yesterday. You won’t believe who he’s riding with on this one.

soulja boy

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”?

A Video Wrap-Up of the Ice T vs Soulja Boy Beef:
Here’s a video summation of the beef so far. I’ll add more as they emerge.

So, tell me: Who are you riding with?

    Man, Ice T is da man, A Legend, and a Hip-Hop pioneer. How in the hell is soulja boy on Nas’s level. I think Kanye West is trippen on this one, straight up. He also said, “Theres no rules in this.” Kanye really tripped out. I really think Ice T Murdered this kid in this beef. Straight up.

  • yung savage

    fuck ice man he suc

  • yung savage

    ice t aint shit

  • RealRapTalk

    Soulja boy why don’t u say all dat shit to Ice T’s face in person?

  • BLAKKBOI

    Any internet beef is a stupid one. Soulja boi should be respected for giving he and his family a better life by doing something positive. Most of the respected hip hop dudes
    talkin bout money, bitches, drugs, and other illegal shit and people love it. This lil boi comes out with a dance and song and ya’ll hate him, well somebody loves it cause it’s everywhere. Respect each other old or new school, stop trippin.

  • Some guy

    To BLAKKBOI:

    You do know what it means to “superman that ho”, right? It’s not like he’s an ambassador of good taste.

    But this whole thing is dumb anyway.

  • BlakKBoi

    RE: to Some Guy

    You right he ain’t the best example we got out there but still, he could be doin a lot worse. By the way, I know what it means, do you, he ain’t referring to a female when he says “Superman that ho” He means it’s time to do that part of the dance. When he says that then you, do the Superman part. You knew that though I’m sure.

  • Some Guy

    Well, it’s really a double meaning. That’s the name of the dance, but he’s also referring to the bizarre sexual act of cumming on a girl’s back then sticking a piece of paper on it like it’s a cape, thus Superman.

  • des208

    people kill me making stuff bigger than what it really is. u know kanye did not compare soulja boy to nas think for a minute. no, kanye is not trippin people in hip hop are always saying make your own style and thats what soulja boy did.

  • des208

    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.

  • des208

    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.

  • Night_Foxxx

    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…

  • Zigg

    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.

  • Jazzie

    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!
