Soulja Boy Disses Nas
Soulja Boy, who is known for uploading popular videos to Youtube, has released another video that is stirring up a new controversy. In the video, the young rapper is claiming that Nas killed hip-hop by coming out and saying "hip-hop is dead."
The video features Soulja Boy and two of his friends, eating at a kitchen table discussing the state of hip-hop. The conversation starts off with SB giving props to Lil' Wayne as the "best rapper alive." Soulja Boy continues to say that when someone in hip hop comes out and says something, it becomes true. He then starts to go in on Nas, who released an album titled Hip-Hop Is Dead back in 2007.
"[Nas] came out publicly and said 'hip hop is dead,' and then after that everybody started saying hip hop is dead," says Soulja Boy. "If Nas would have never said 'hip hop is dead,' then motherf***ers would have never thought it would have died. They would have never had that terminology."
As the conversation continues, SB continues to call Nas out for his statements. "He killed his own career with that sh*t. He should have thought about that sh*t though...You come out saying 'hip hop is dead' and you do hip hop, what the f*ck you doing? Shut the eff up and go in the studio!"
In the video, Soulja Boy commends other rappers for their statements. He describes "some good sh*t to say" as T.I. calling himself the king of the south, Lil' Wayne proclaiming that he's the best rapper alive, and 50 Cent saying he runs New York.
Soulja Boy goes on to assert his own title, leaving the comment open for someone to come back at him. He boasts, "I'm the king of the internet. It's something you could argue with, but it's not something you could take from somebody.
In short, SB sums up his video by making it clear that he disagrees with Nas. "Hip-Hop is dead, that's some strong *ss words."
Soulja Boy released his album iSouljaBoytellem earlier this month.
