Rap-Up.com || Kanye West on the Ice-T vs. Soulja Boy Beef

Kanye West has weighed in on the ongoing Ice-T vs. Soulja Boy beef. Read his take on the situation below. Watch Soulja Boy’s response to Ice-T above and Ice-T’s rebuttal below.

“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.”

Kanye West is on crack apparently, cause how the fuck can you compare a complete simple non rapping no talent having simple nigga name soulja boy to a LIVIN LEGEND!!!, for real Kanye I have lost all respect for Kanye West, fuck kanye west, you a non rapping nigga anyway, you got a little talent in finding samples, because that\’s about all this nigga does is find samples and put them together.

Ice T Is A Fool!
How You Gonna Go At A Teenager In The First Place.
Ice T Has Just Proved He Is A Sell Out! & Nobody Really Cares For Him Nemore That\’s Why He Can\’t Go At Nebody Older In The Game.

Soulja Boy Is A New Sound Not The Best But People Like It They Bought It. Not The Person Who \

I dont think he sayign Soulja Boy is anything liek Nas he saying you got to respect his Hustle what he did / where he from and how he did it..on his own at 16 years old and got picked up ….made a hit saying some sumbleminal shyt , not on th enas level but it stillthe same technique..plus ice t was dead for that shyt instad of hating on it as a og he should abeen trying rap to youngin to help slim do somethign \

“That song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning… that’s Nas level shit…”

-Kanye West

“Soulja boy off in this hoe Watch me crank it
Watch me roll Watch me crank that soulja boy
Then super man that hoe Now watch me you (crank that soulja boy)”

-Soulja Boy

“I am the truest, name a rapper that I ain’t influenced Gave y’all chapters but now I keep my eyes on the Judas With Hawaiian Sophie fame, kept my name in his music Check it”

-NAS

How can you compare the two???

i think that souljia boy is a a new level of hip hop. We have to have something for the new geenreation to relate to becuase we didn’t grow up when ice-t did. No disrespect to ice-t or anything.i mean souljia boy is no nas. i will defintely say that. But he is new school. i think all this beef needs to stop between rtappers. can’t they just make money and do postive stuff for the neighborhoods.

this shite is funny mayn..i mean wtf??? but forreal tho, shit, souljah boy got a point, he new to the game, but his shit is fun to jive with, yah dig?? i mean its better than the message in fucking Ice-T\’s rap…wtf is with his lyrics, killing cops, stealing, wtf is that message to the people, that you can do shit like that, wow amazing, well am not a big souljah boy fan but i gotta admit, his shit went skyrocket last year and from a 16 y/o, we gotta give him props, hip hop is about evolution, new shit comes as day passes by, Ice-T just cant accept the fact that he gettin old, and he still wants to live in the past, well it doesnt work that way, Sir Ice-T…Nigguh u old ass muthafucka please grow up another 100 years and put some maturity while ure on it peace

Antoine, Elvis, Soulfull Vibes, Resi1, & graicen… he didn\’t compare him to NAS, he said that hidden meaning was like on Nas level… as in his delivery of his rhymes… Not as in his lyrics, and his genius… it\’s definately no comparison…

Hip hop changes, if it was the same then we would get bored and start listening to country. New music is good too because it brings something that has never been done. Soulja is creative being who will evolve into something new.
