T.I. Speaks On Younger Generation Of Hip-Hop Artists

by

T.I. compared the proliferation of hip-hop artists from the new generation to the NBA offering anyone who knows how to pick up a basketball an invite to the league. He explained that the talent on display ranges from “exceptionally dope” to “just alright” during an appearance on Shaquille O’Neal’s podcast, The Big Podcast with Shaq.

“This generation reminds me of every other generation,” he began. “You got some people who are exceptionally dope, and some people who are just alright. You know what I mean? But it’s a lot more of it to choose from now. I feel that, actually, what they’ve done with music is equivalent to if they were to open up the doors of the arena and say, ‘anybody think you can play basketball? Come on out the stands out here to the floor. Here go you a jersey, man. Get in the game.’”

Elsewhere in the interview, T.I. discussed Nelly and Usher purchasing ownership stakes in sports teams. While he respects it, he isn’t interested in doing the same. “So many of my contemporaries — like Nelly, you know, he got a piece of Charlotte — and Usher’s got a piece of Cleveland,” he said. “You know, people be asking me, ‘Would I ever do it?’ And I don’t think I would, you know? Because I just can’t see me taking so much of my money, investing it in something, and I can’t do what the f*ck I wanna do. I just can’t imagine that. I’m gonna put my money into something where I can dictate, and I can determine, the way it’s gonna go.”

Soulja Boy Lets J. Cole & Big Sean Know That He Still Doesn’t Rock With Them

by

It seems like Soulja Boy doesn’t really know how to take a compliment. Moreover, J. Cole recently spoke on how he wasn’t initially a fan of his music, but later grew to appreciate it and recognize his talent and contributions to the game, during his appearance on Lil Yachty’s podcast, A Safe Place. After these remarks started making rounds on social media, the king of viral hits (and so many more innovations in hip-hop) told the Dreamville lyricist to stop speaking on his name. Now, in a new Instagram Live session, he once again took aim at Cole and roped Big Sean into the conversation, too.

“F**k y’all,” Soulja Boy’s rant kicked off. Below are some quote highlights throughout this statement. “Y’all n***as old, y’all n***as suck. Don’t nobody listen to y’all type of music no more. After a couple of years passed, and I kept going platinum, ‘Oh, we f**k with Soulja Boy, now.’ The new generation making new hip-hop like how I was making. All that new music, they get to rock out because n***a, I kicked the door down. I’ve been dealing with this s**t my whole career, you feel me? N***as ain’t want me in the industry because ‘We don’t like the type of music he’s making.’

“2010, 2011, they started accepting me,” Soulja Boy continued. “So, fast forward today, I wake up. Why we still talking about this narrative? Who gives a f**k? You ain’t never seen me in an interview talking about Big Sean’s music. All these n***as like, bro, who is y’all? N*** a, it don’t matter what the f**k you like, J. Cole! Who gives a fuck n***a, who is you n***a?! You ain’t put no money in my pocket. We ain’t ever collab. N***a, f**k you! Where have you contributed to my life and my career? I don’t even know you, n***a. But you wanna get on a podcast with Lil Yachty talking about- who gives a f**k n***a?! I’m gon’ live my life regardless! You ain’t nobody, bro, you don’t matter. F**k you, boy. You ain’t ever did s**t for me, n***a.”
