Some recent comments made by A$AP Rocky about who caused the current state of hip-hop appear to have Soulja Boy responding.

On Monday (June 13), Interview magazine ran a feature with A$AP Rocky chopping it up with comedian Jerrod Carmichael. During the talk, Rocky was asked about the state of hip-hop.

"Rap is in its adolescence and it’s been stuck here since Soulja Boy," Rocky responded. "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."

Soulja Boy has since appeared to response to the A$AP Rocky name-drop.

"Come on, man. Stop listening to people, bro," Soulja said in an Instagram Live video. "nikkas don't know what the fukk they talking about, on gang. That's what I found out, bro. These nikkas don't be knowing what the fukk they talking about, bro. nikkas be on my Instagram, nikkas be on Twitter, nikkas be in person talking... about nothing. Bro, what is you talking about, bro? What is you talking about? nikkas be talking about everything but how to get some money."

Ringtone rap showed these labels that the hip-hop space was a place that they could make a quick buck and they’ve been taking advantage of that ever since

Then why doesn’t Rocky focus on making good music again

rocky talking about rap being stuck in an adolescent place

i love rocky’s music but a lot of his music is just talking about fly s***

This, coming from the person who just dropped a single titled D.M.B. where he's rapping about s*** he was rapping about 11 years ago, which is nothing? What growth has his music ever shown content-wise? Nigga should shut the f*** up and sit the f*** down. The absolute worst messenger and the message itself is stupid.

Man I really f***ing want LSD

he’s been rapping bout d****, rick owens and hoes for about 10 years running he’s the wrong messenger

this coming from rocky

he really thinks he's some artsy intellectual ass rapper huh?

Luckily he never stopped making good music

this is real rap

Rocky was rapping about being in love and wanting to be with one person 11 years ago...?

Rocky is correct

And I know you ain't talking about f***in growth content wise when you are a f***in Drake stan and he damn near been making the same album since Take Care content wise

On how many songs? What's 98% of his discography about?

Drake isn't the one talking about hip-hop being immature and being stuck in braggadocio. That's Rocky and it's stupid of him to say that considering what 98% of his content is about. His whole schtick since day 1 has been about being a fly/jiggy nigga. 11 years later and that's still all he's known for.

Ok but what is you talking about bro

His whole point is stupid because rap will always primarily be a young man's game and it will always have elements of braggadocio. No amount of time that passes will ever take that away.

This sounds like one of those surface levels takes you think of in the shower to sound deep

Rap is its best place ever and Only a casual would say it’s stuck in adolescence

that man is so corny sometimes i swear
