Soulja Boy Fires Back At Ice-T The Only Way He Knows How: Wikipedia Citations


In case you don't have the stomach to watch Soulja Boy's expletive-laden, nearly eight-minutes-long despite edits response to Ice-T saying he ruined hip-hop forevermore, let me sum up its two major arguments. No. 1: "YAHHH OLD YAHHH." (That's a paraphrase.) No. 2: "How are you gonna make a song called 'Fuck Da Police,' then 35 years later, your ass is playing the police on TV?" (That's a direct quote. Personally, I think a youuuuuuuu would have sufficed.) P.S.: This should go without saying on any YouTube clip, but seriously, if you want to retain your faith in the future of this planet, don't read the comments. [YouTube; ht PTW / Earlier]

Latest by Lax Danja House: I'd have thought Ice-T did as much to kill hip hop as Soulja Boy did. Except Ice-T's been making mediocre music for 25 years as opposed to Soulja Boy's 2. more »

50 Cent Has Beef With T.I. (Big Surprise)

50 Cent—who apparently still records music, despite what he might have said previously—has decided to take on T.I., because the Atlanta MC isn't going to spend as much time in prison as Curtis would like. To spare you the trouble of picking up the new G-Unit disc, the "controversial" lyrics regarding T.I. are below the cut. More »

Rapper Papoose Sued By Ambulance Corps, Still Named "Papoose"

Watch out, The Game! Papoose is hungry to take the title of Most Pathetic Rapper Alive. Still without a label, still without a single or an album to his name, engaged to a jailbird and relying solely on beef to keep people interested in his career. Now that need to stoke beef has earned him a lawsuit. Seems that he misrepresented himself to the Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corps by claiming to be making a video about their services when really he was using the footage for his video "Ambulance," which describes how little he thinks of rapper Uncle Murda. Check out the clip (and Papoose's sluggish Hova-style declarations) below. More »

50 Cent Befuddled By Alicia Keys' 'Classical Music Shit'

Alicia Keys clumsily claims that the concept of "gangsta rap" was a concoction of the government/media in a Blender interview, and uncommercial maverick artists like 50 Cent get in a tizzy over the idea that they might be playing into some sort of conglomerate-approved caricature. "I don't like Alicia Keys no more though ... the same reason why I said that I don't like Oprah Winfrey." moaned Fid, "I'm prejudice(d). I don't like people who don't like me." Maybe he's just bummed he hasn't been asked to play her boyfriend in a music video. Not that he likes that "classical music shit" she's been putting out. More »

Josh Homme Asks Interscope To Do Something We Can't Print In A Headline

Everybody's extra pissed off today, it seems. And even if Queen Of The Stone Age and working man Josh Homme lacks Morrissey's bone-dry wit, he's just as upset with his corporate handlers at Interscope as Moz is with the NME, railing (in all-caps, no less) against "the glorified groupie with the fucking hundred thousand dollar expense accounts" in this typically entertaining sit-down where he makes the most of the f-bomb and gives Jimmy Iovine the atomic gas face.

Morrissey To NME: Racism Is "Beyond Common Sense" (Also, You Suck Now)

Well, the NME learned a valuable lesson this week: Never corner Morrissey, because he'll put you on blast with a volubility that shames just about anyone you currently have on staff. Responding to the accusation that statements he made during a recent interview were racist and in addition to the lawsuit he's reportedly bringing against the tabloid, Morrissey has penned a withering 1,800-word NME take down for The Guardian that's mostly designed to clear his name, but also turns out to be one of the more eloquent summations of the rag's post-'90s/Britpop irrelevance.

NME Gets Morrissey's Panties In A Bunch Over Accusations Of Racism

Even though it's not the first time bigoted statements/iconography have earned him terrible "Big Mouth Strikes Again" headlines from the English tabloids, an older, more retiring Morrissey has had enough of being scrutinized for his indefensible positions on evil foreigners and whatnot. Living in America must have made him more litigious as well, because now he's planning on suing the NME for defamation because they called him a racist after he made remarks about how immigration is destroying the moral fiber of her majesty's Great Britain.

Queensryche: Rip-Off Artists?

Usually our referrer logs just lead us to fetish sites and people wanting to know how to make crack cocaine. But sometimes, they lead to drama! For instance, this message board post entitled "Opinion needed—Did Queensryche rip off Pure Hatred?" More »

Ne-Yo: Cocky Punk Or Cocky Punk With More Talent Than R. Kelly?

R. Kelly's concert tour had a rough start as it was, with all the mandated court appearances cutting into showtime and whatnot. Now it's losing its opening acts. "Let them tell it, I was removed from the R. Kelly tour because of contractual agreements not being met," Ne-Yo said in an interview with BET. "But that's absolutely false." Seems that, fittingly for an R. Kelly tour, there was some Oedipal shit* going down behind the scenes. More »

50 Cent Reduced To Competing With Whoever Will Pay Attention To Him

Super Tuesday is now all but forgotten thanks to Radiohead and annoying BitTorrent nerds—and some fires and military movements in foreign countries and stuff—but 50 is still going begging for people he can beef with! Since he's got a book dropping shortly, he's even found a fellow musican-turned-author he can measure his penis copies shipped against. More »

LL Cool J: Mad At Jay-Z But Not Mad Enough At Jay-Z To Stop Greasing His Pecs And Do Something About It

Hey, are you an LL Cool J fan? Are you sick of the bodysnatcher that took his place some time around 1995 and forced him to make the same wack-ass slow-jam over and over again? Did you hope that his recent intimation that he was beefing with his Def Jam label boss Shawn "Thank Christ I Have Rihanna" Carter might signal the return of the fierce, battle-rapping LL of old? Well, tough shit. Because while LL probably has enough industry clout to take shots at Jay without being wished into the hip-hop cornfield, he's instead decided to be a big pussy: More »

The New York "Times" Tries To Escalate A Rap Beef

Exciting stories must be trickling in today, because the New York Times seems like it's trying to aggrandize a record label dispute over a song by rapper Gucci Mane—which is being concurrently released by both his new major Atlantic and his old indie imprint Big Cat—into Suge Knight-level drama, teasing you with the promise of "a story that involves an accused killer, allegations of recording-studio espionage and a lyrical tribute to Rick James."
