Ice T Says Soulja Boy killed Hip Hop; Soulja Boy says Ice-T is old and washed up

“ Soulja Boy! Eat a dick! This 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 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 ? That 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 ing beads out of your hair ! Man up. You s is making me feel real ing mad about this .”

Here are Ice T’s comments about Soulja Boy noted above. This video contains NSFW language:

Ice T- “You single handedly killed hip hop. That sh*t is such garbage.”

And here’s Soulja Boy’s response. It has plenty of NSFW language too, and if you can’t listen there’s a partial transcript below. It looks crass when you read it, but if you have the time to watch it’s actually pretty funny.

“This Ice-T old as f’ck. This old enough to be my great grandfather….

How you gonna make a song called ‘F’ck the police?’ 35 years later your ass playing the police on TV…

I’ll let you fight my granddad. He’ll knock your ass out. You were born before the Internet was created. How the f’ck did you even find me?

‘Superman’ that was last year… get with the times you old ass.”

Then Soulja Boy gets serious and says “I respect everybody who started this. Who opened the doors for young artists like me to get into the hip hop industry… I respect everybody to the utmost. I don’t want to disrespect nobody… I know Ice-T is an old ass , I know he’s a legend in the game, he’s a veteran and all that, but you tell me ‘eat a dick’ and I hear that on the radio…

You rich as f’ck. Quit… why you still rapping? The game has changed, there’s new s out. Ain’t no one want to hear that old sh*t no more. There’s people who still want to hear it. They just ain’t dead yet.”

[Gets serious] “Mr. Ice T. You must understand. is different. When you was born, s was still driving in wood cars. Walmart wasn’t made yet. There wasn’t no Internet. There wasn’t no video cameras to record this to diss your old ass on… Stop with that bull man.”

Soulja Boy says he wasn’t born rich and “this time last year, I was living in the ghetto. I’m 17 years old. I worked hard for this . If it was all of this… off one song. You should be congratulating… That’s what you should be saying instead of ‘eat a dick.’ Do you know how many s in the hood now wishing they were in my position? Wishing they were in your position?”

Soulja Boy really missed an opportunity to rip on Ice T’s ty wife, Coco, but at least he stayed on point.

And here’s Ice-T’s response to Soulja Boy’s response to him. He apologizes for telling Soulja Boy to “eat a dick” and says “a brother of my caliber shouldn’t be talking down on a youngster your age. But as far as your music goes, it’s garbage. This ain’t no old school, new school, east coast west coast thing.” Ice T goes on to name new artists he likes who he says works hard in the industry. He says Soulja Boy shouldn’t have responded to his diss, because he can only hurt his new career while he’s more established and has nothing to lose.

Soulja Boy has a point. There was no reason for Ice T to diss him, but then Ice T is right and Soulja Boy’s music isn’t that great. I never got the appeal of that “Superman” song, it seemed kind of primitive to me and I didn’t understand why it caught on like it did. I’m old as , though, so what do I know? The Internet wasn’t invented yet when I was born, either.

Here’s Ice T doing “Original Gangster,” which came out in 1991.

And here’s that “Superman” song from Soulja Boy that we’ve all heard too many times. It’s been viewed 19 million times on YouTube and is most likely a one hit wonder.
