Kanye has decided to takes sides on the Soulja Boy and Ice-T beef for whatever reason. This is what he had to say:
"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." (source)
I feel where he's coming from, but Soulja Boy is garbage. Yeah he had ONE song, let's see where he'll be in 5 years. Don't forget the "White Tee" craze a few summer back. They came out with a new sound, a dance to go along with it, and where are they now? Exactly...hell Chingy is even battling to stay relevant. "Right Thurr" only took him so far.

The whole Ice T / Soulja Boy beef is garbage. Ice T needs to Sit his ass down trying to beef with a high school kid in the first place. Yes, soulja boy is garbage lyrically. Did he single handedly kill hip hop? no! so what he made up a dance and everyone was doing it...wasn't the tootsie roll the exact same thing in the 90s. We've always been coontastic when it comes to us having a good time, dont give Soulja Boy all that credit, he didn't do it himself. As for Kanye, I stans for him but I do feel what he's saying. Soulja Boy made a name for himself ON HIS OWN. He hustled his way to the top and for a second was a phenomenon. His lyrics may be garbage, but you gotta give respect where its due. In true hip hop fashion he produced his own song, hustled it, and made a hit.
