Speechless


I came across this article on the Hypebeast forum yesterday... I was left somewhat speechless.

Kanye's quote about Soulja Boy kind of made me cringe.


I really don't even know where to start. I never thought I'd even have to say both Kanye West and Soulja Boy in the same sentence, let alone say that they are exchanging work. Admittedly, Soulja Boy has had some decent beats, however, none of which were produced by him. Comparing the bunk ass "Crank That" beat, which was produced by Soulja Boy himself to a beat like "Kiss U Thru The Phone" produced by Jim Jonsin who also produced T.I.'s "Whatever You Like".

If this news is true and Kanye's final product ends up pushing some Soulja Boy inspired work then I feel hat Kanye's credibility in the hip-hop world will drop significantly, stooping to Soulja Boy's level. The only thing Kanye can offer to Soulja Boy is an album with top notch production. The lyrics and flow are still going to be repetitive, boring, and all-round terrible.
