So the O.G. Ice-T had some words for teen superstar Soulja Boy… (borrowed from www.hiphopdx.com)

“Fuck Soulja Boy! Eat a dick! This nigga single handedly killed Hip Hop.”

Those are the words of Gangsta Rap veteran, Ice-T, who appears on DJ Cisco’s Urban Legend mixtape with a few choice words about Soulja Boy.

“That shit is such garbage man,” Ice-T continues to snarl. “We came all the way from Rakim, we came all the way from Das EFX, we came all the way from motherfuckers flowing like Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube, and you come with that Superman shit? That shit is garbage.”

Apparently, Soulja Boy isn’t the only one in Ice-T’s sights. The rapper had a few things to say about another young rapper.

“Hurricane (Chris) take them fucking beads out of your hair nigga! Man up. You niggas is making me feel real fucking mad about this shit.”

Aside from the fact that I’m a huuuuge Ice-T fan, I must have to somewhat agree with his statement. I feel artists should have the right to make any kind of music they want. I also feel that dance music, like Soulja Boy’s shit, has a place in the hip hop landscape. I do, however, think that hip hop music is strugglin right now. Its strugglin as a whole. I’m glad that Soulja Boy was successful, but I hate that he was one of the biggest things in rap this past year. Nothing about his music says “quality.” The rap sucks as well as the production. I don’t give a damn if you can dance to it, shits wack. I can’t agree that dude single handedly killed hip hop. Plenty of artists, labels, and fans should be blamed for that. Its just that the fact that he soared to the top of the charts signals that something is really wrong with hip hop.

I don’t know what to say about Hurricane Chris. I thought he was completely wack until that Pushin Buttons song with my boy Trae.

Peace.
