Ice T corrected by Soulja Boy

I have gained more respect for Soulja Boy and lost a little for Ice T in this whole exchange. Here's Soulja Boy responce to an unprovoked attack from Ice T. I especially liked what he said from about the 7 minute mark to the end. So I hope that Ice can man up to this challenge ... if Ice is serious.

Truth is, nothing can kill hip hop. Or, alternatively it died 15 years ago with the advent of Ice T and his gang bang crew. Since then all the consuming masses (read:white audience, who are the main buyers to these albums) have clung onto gangsta rap. No more Kool Mo Dee, Maestro Fresh Wes, Black Sheep, PM Dawn or even the real, and old (political) Ice Cube. Back when you heard a nigga you knew right away who is was even if you never heard the song before. Now-a-days everyone sounds like the same generic group.

"Who is this? Lil' John?"

"No, Lil' Wayne."

"Man, you trippin' ... it's Lil' Bow Wow"

I still think that hip hop is alive. I still think, and know that there are a variety of groups out there who aren't all the same. It may not get press, but it's there. But if hip hop is dying then YOU, Ice T, are killing it, by demanding that all hip hop be to your liking. Demanding it sound like your tired donkey self. But Soulja Boy said it best... if you think it's broken or dead, then fix it. Or... shut up.
