Soulja Boy seemingly responds to ASAP Rocky’s comments.
Jerrod Carmichael recently released his latest stand-up special “Rothaniel”, and now he linked up with Interview Magazine where he sat down with rapper ASAP Rocky for a long conversation. The two talked on several topics including new music, fatherhood, masculinity, Tyler the Creator and more. The rapper was also asked about how he feels “growing older in rap”.
“Rap is in its adolescence and it’s been stuck here since Soulja Boy,” he said. “Before, everybody looked 35 and up. When Lil Wayne and Jay-Z and T.I. and Jeezy and 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.”
“Jay-Z was the first rapper I ever listened to who was talking about family,” responds Carmichael.
Rocky continues, “For real. But the thing is, being a rapper now, you don’t want to exclude anybody or neglect any demographics. As somebody that people look up to, there’s a responsibility to put people on the right path.”
Rocky also said that he’s been extensively collaborating with Tyler, The Creator on new music. He also stated that he is nearing the completion of his upcoming solo album. “I’ve been working with T a lot, man. We blocked out the last two weeks and have been working on a lot of music, but I’m wrapping up this album right now, about to direct a few of these videos. And I can tell you, just from doing a couple of music videos, it’s so much energy and preparation and curation,” he said.

After the comments made by the Harlem rapper on today’s rap state, Big Draco seemingly responds through his IG live. “Come on, man. Stop listening to people, bro,” Soulja said. “Ni**as don’t know what the f**k they talking about, on gang. That’s what I found out, bro. These ni**as don’t be knowing what the f**k they talking about, bro. Ni**as be on my Instagram, ni**as be on Twitter, ni**as be in person talking… about nothing. Bro, what is you talking about, bro? What is you talking about? Ni**as be talking about everything but how to get some money.”
