I agree'
IMO
Kanye is a legend in the making he made a superstar impact and changed music as a producer and rapper.
To me Ice T is just a ex car theft/pimp with a perm turned gansgter rapper then actor. He more respected in cali but if you ask about him somewhere else niggas will laugh. Listen to his last album when he tried to bring gangsta rap back he sounded outdated with his raps.
and soulja boy is no where near Nas, I dont think that was what kanye was saying though I think he was saying taht soulja came with something different to the table like Nas once did, remember nas was a youngster when he dropped Stillmatic
Of course u won't hear a lot of people talking about Ice in other places like Cali. Just like niggaz aint talking about Kool G. Rap like that but niggaz in NY. Ice is only selling about 10k copies everytime he drops. He's not even droping music to gain a new fanbase cuz he know he won't be getting them. His music is for his die hards only. I won't even buy an Ice T CD now but I do own his first 4-5 albums. He did have some really good music. Ice aint even major in Cali either. Only the OG's still fuck with his music.
And Nas might of been a youngsta when he dropped Illmatic but compare Nas as a young nigga to Soulja Boy now. Hell, Kriss Kross brought something new to the table if niggaz wanna go that far. Kanye should of used Another Bad Creation as an example instead of Nas if he wanted to drop that shit.
Ice T might be kicking outdated raps but his outdated shit is still 15 notches above Soulja Boys raps.
I just hope Soulja Boy don't end up like Gary Colemen 20 years from now cuz if he don't get his finances together & eliminate the people who are just around him just to get cashed out that's what's gonna happen. He's 17 & he's real green, corny acting & immature(even for his age) so he's definitly a target for having the worse kind of people around him.
