Ice-T. Uno dei miei rapper preferiti da sempre. Ultimamente è il fulcro di una discussione in rete scatenata da un video, da lui stesso postato su youtube, che è un dissing rivolto a Soulja Boy, un giovane MC di Atlanta (Georgia). Qua sotto potete leggere (in inglese) un resoconto della questione:

Feud with Ice-T

In June 2008, on DJ Cisco’s Urban Legend mixtape, Ice-T criticized Soulja Boy for "killing hip-hop" and his song "Crank That" for being "garbage" compared to the works of other hip-hop artists as Rakim, Das EFX, Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube.^[28] Soulja Boy responded in a YouTube video by mocking Ice-T's age (Ice-T was born in 1958) and claiming that he needed to support his family through his brand of music. Ice-T proceeded to offer a video response to Soulja Boy's reaction in which he made an apology for the harsh comment, but many felt it was a backhanded apology, because at the end of the video Ice-T's son appeared reiterating the same negative comment to Souljaboy as Ice-T had stated in the mixtape. However Ice-T did not apologize for his critique on Soulja boy's music even as to go so far as reiterating his belief that Soula Boy's music was "garbage". Rapper Kanye West defended Soulja Boy by arguing that Soulja Boy created a new, original work for hip-hop, thus keeping the authentic meaning of the music.^[29] Soulja Boy followed suit by posting another video on the internet in the form of a cartoon mocking Ice-T and ridiculing a video clip of Ice-T dancing.^[30]
