Soulja Boy and Ice T have been exchanging words for the past couple of days which was initiated by Ice T. Basically, Ice T said Soulja Boy’s music was garbage and told him to eat a d*ck.
I am rather surprised that Kanye West came to Soulja’s defense, but nevertheless I’m glad he did.
Kanye posted in his blog;
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 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 everthing 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.
Ice T attempts to apologize to Soulja Boy, but it did not sound like a sincere apology to me. Technically it did not sound like an apology at all. But that’s just my opinion.
Ice T will hit the stage at Indiana’s Hilbert Circle Theatre on June 18th for the world premiere of the orchestrated version of late American poet Langston Hughes’ 12-part masterpiece, “Ask Your Mama: Twelve Moods for Jazz.”
Ice-T will narrate Hughes poetry by rhythmic tones of jazz professor Dr. Ronald McCurdy, who composed the project using musical cues that had been suggested by Hughes before he died in 1967.
The performance will be the first time the rapper/actor has performed with a live symphony orchestra.
“He tells AllHipHop.com, “It is a great honour to perform with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Ron McCurdy for this landmark event celebrating the brilliance of Langston Hughes.”
Why doesn’t this surprise me? Ice-T names himself after his super pimp hero, “Iceberg Slim” and he is producing a documentary on his pimp hero.
”Iceberg Slim has been one of the most influential people in black culture,” the rapper said. Few people know the story behind the man and it’s time that story is told.”
Iceberg Slim wrote many urban novels that depict the lives of the people he knew and the life that he led, including the many years he was involved in the prostitution trade. He later used his experience in the underworld to become a reknowned writer.
Currently I have no details of when production will begin on this documentary.
