Soulja Boy has responded to ASAP Rocky after he claimed that rap has been stuck in adolescence since the rapper released “Crank That.”
“Come on, man. Stop listening to people, bro,” Soulja said on Instagram Live . “N-ggas don’t know what the f-ck they talking about, on gang. That’s what I found out, bro. These n-ggas don’t be knowing what the f-ck they talking about, bro. N-ggas be on my Instagram. N-ggas be on Twitter. N-ggas be in person talking about nothing. Bro, what is you talking about, bro? What is you talking about? N-ggas be talking about everything but how to get some money.”
Rocky said this to Interview Magazine:
“Rap is in its adolescence and it’s been stuck here since Soulja Boy. Before, everybody looked 35 and up. When Lil Wayne and Jay-Z and T.I. and Jeezy and [Rick] Ross was on, rappers looked old. Like, we had Lil’ Bow Wow and that was it. That all changed with the internet and self-releasing. Now, rap is stuck in this braggadocious, adolescent space. It’s not as mature.”
