Kanye On Soulja
To who ever hasn't read this yet...
Kanye states:
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 ****? 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 ****... he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas **** if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track "Silent Murder" on it. In closing... new niggas get ya money$$$$$$$$$$ Keep this **** fresh and original.... ain't no ****in' rules to this **** and that's what real hip hop is to me.
I can totally see his point, and mind you I'm only 23 years old... but man I feel old by saying I think music now is kinda pointless and media influenced to the max...
Kanye makes very valid points and I really love Kanye's music, I just hope that this article can inspire Soulja to make some music that can reach all ages of hip hop and audiences in general.
Anyone else have some takes on this article
