After a long day of work on Friday, I came home and hopped on the internet just as I would do on any other weekday. For some reason Fri. night was different. I saw that Ice-T said, “F**k Soulja Boy! Eat a d**k!” At first, all I could do is laugh my ass off but, I wanted to know why one of the most respected vets in the game would go at one of the "most creative" new artist Hip-Hop has been graced with amongst the ringtone- era. Today, my homie and I had an interesting convo about who is more valid. So, I wanted to going in on this. "Turn the lights even lower!" Hov-

Well maybe Ice-T has some validity to this but, I wanted to hear Soulja Boy's side of the story because I don't think he totally destroyed Hip-Hop. I feel he's part of the reason Hip-Hop was saved. Let me explain, if you will....remember prior to Boyz In The Hood, Menace II Society, Juice, Poetic Justice & Law & Order even exsisted rappers didn't get lead roles in films or sitcoms. For that matter, unless the movie was totally about Hip-Hop no rapper nor singer had a chance until Ice Cube & Master P made their own films and continued to make music and stay relevant. I think Ice-T was really reaching but, who am I to choose sides because if it wasn't for him we would still have edited albums and thus he paved the way for artist to create brands of their own if no one else wanted to invest in you.

Prior to last summer, albums weren't selling until 50 Cent challenged Mr.West to see how many albums they could sell individually. Yeezy won, while Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat" heated up the airwaves on the East Coast. While I spent a weekend in ATL, I found myself screaming Yoooooooooooooooool" for the past 10 months because it was close to our B-More A-Yooooooooooooooooooooooo! Riding the wave of Mims, Soulja Boy & Flo-rid-a continue to rack up ringtone sales of over 7 million respectively between the three artists. While established artist' such as "The Roots" tour and use other alternatives to stack funds other veterans are struggling to make noise in the Hip-Hop community. You have to give some of the "NEW" dudes that are in the game today a certain type of respect for being innovative and using the one outlet we all have, the Internet! Weather you Hate or Love Soulja Boy he made a hit and he was right, Ice-T was using his frustruation as a way to channel his anger because the "O.G.'s are not really selling records anymore. Pac said it best, "Niggas looking like Larry Holmes flabby and sick/Trying to playa hate on my shit man....." It hurts knowing that was a shot @ B.I.G. but, that line welcomes the thought of FRESH & NEW. Watch your children and younger music peers and learn from them. Ice, you should be happy Soulja Boy got rich from his desk at his crib rather than on the corner of his hood. Anyway, do you think "Lil' Ice" really wants it with Soulja Boy? Matter of fact, where's Bow Wow when you need him? Don't just tell Soulja Boy step his lyrics up, tell the rest of these wack ass niggas stepp there lyrics up as well! I can't even lie thanks to

50 Cent, I'm loving Hip-Hop again because he helped Game stand alone and showed Buck how to make good albums. Now, I need some of that Vitamin Water paper myself...LMAO

Shouts out to YouTube, for creating an outlet for people to air and resolve there differences because the word "beef" seems so harsh to the public eye. (In my sarcastic voice) The media can really blow everything out of proportion. What happened to when we used to battle it out on the mic or see whose song is the best? Nowdays, it seems like it's all about who owns the most clothing, liquor, and film companies or who has the most guest appearances in songs or movies. In closing, while you bastards were paying so much attention to Ice-T & Soulja Boy, Lil' Wayne sold a million records his first fucking week!!! The song "A-Milli" held it's own subliminal message and you niggas downloaded and still copped it...I'm still working on the link for the A- Milli Freemix but, in the meantime hit me up and let me know who you think who is right? urbanjustice08@gmail.com

Til Next Time,
