Souljah Boy Tell Em Tells it like it is
LMAO. As you can imagine, there has been nothin but negative backlash at SB. Like he was tellin lies or somethin. Niggas just love to hate when they see someone else makin money, EASY! Souljah Boy ain’t kill hip hop, Nas ain’t kill hip hop, nobody killed hip hop. “Hip hop is something you live, rap is something you do.”~ KRS-One, which is EXACTLY what I had been sayin since ’05 when niggas first started talkin bout the death of hip hop. Hip hop is a CULTURE, it can’t be killed. There are still b-boys and b-girls, taggers, real DJs that spin records and not macbooks, and other aspects of hip hop that is still thrivin. Rap is a musical expression of hip hop and it’s evolved with the times. Niggas mad at Soulja Boy because he 17 and has millions (and millions) from makin a hit record that didn’t involve talkin bout guns, drugs, and being hood. How can anyone be mad at that? On one hand we talk about the youth and how they have no future with the terrible neighborhoods that they live in. But then when one nigga make it out the hood, he’s the death of hip hop? SHUT THE FUCK UP. Go read a book, your ignorance will only bring down the people around you (due to the 6 degrees of separation, eventually it will reach me). And he right about Nas needin to bite his tongue. Granted his analogy wasn’t the best, it wouldn’t make sense for a basketball player to say the NBA is a dying league when he still has to play in the NBA. I know why Nas said hip hop is dead and titled his ’06 album with the same name. It’s because he needed to make sales. He just rode a gimmick. The album was supposed to be called The NASdaq Dow Jones, but once the “hip hop is dead” slogan gained momentum he thought it would be proper to shift gears. That’s the only Nas album I’ve never listened to and don’t plan on. If he wanna do some commercial shit, give me some more Oochie Wally. And one more thing, sayin somethin over and over does work. Ask Jay-Z when he was callin himself the best rapper alive in like ’00-’01, then everybody started sayin it.
