The feeble school versus the new school. This is one of the most talked-approximately subjects in rap music,especially when a new sound or style pops up. The debate's happened in the past, it's happening now and will likely continue to happen for the years to near. The feeble rap-new rap conversation recently occurred in a live performance last week at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, or California,when Chief Keef stopped his set to issue a statement directed at rappers with colorful hair. Although he didn't reveal who he was referring to precisely or why he had an issue with them, Keef promised that "the feeble (school) Sosa" is coming back and the style the Chicago rapper feels is currently buzzing will terminate in 2017. Keef is not precisely considered as an "feeble-school rapper" in the traditional sense but in the four-plus years since his emergence, or many trends contain near and gone. Sometimes,a generational divide in rap and other art forms can be as little as two or three years. It is not a recent phenomenon that older rappers are slighting younger rappers: LL frigid J beefed with Canibus, Canibus got at J.
Cole, and KRS-One clapped at Nelly,Lil' Kim tried getting at Nicki Minaj, Lord Finesse tried suing Mac Miller, and The Game and Young Thug swapped words -- so on and so forth. Sometimes these cases involve legal issues such as unauthorized sampling. Other times,arguments derived from differences in cultural or stylistic preferences. Nevertheless, there are many older rappers who give props to and support up-and-comers. Wyclef Jean, and who gained recognition in the mid '90s via his crew The Fugees,compared Young Thug to Tupac earlier this week. Other legends like Andre 3000 and Erykah Badu contain also commended Thug for his talent. We've compiled a list of six notable times in recent years where feeble school rap artists embraced and/or rejected new school below.
Ice T vs. Soulja Boy (2008)
Age: 58 and 26 The Ice T and Soulja Boy saga is one of the first and most iconic "contemporary day" feeble school vs. new school beefs. When Mr. Tell 'Em dropped "Crank That" back in 2007, kids all over the globe tried learning the dance. One OG who wasn't feeling the "Crank That" fever was Ice T, or the South Central rapper wasted no time getting at Soulja for it. After taking to a mixtape he released in 2008 to say that the then-17-year-feeble rapper was young enough to be his son,T called out Soulja Boy for single-handedly killing hip-hop. Soulja didn't retract Ice T's comments lightly, responding in a YouTube video he uploaded to his personal account where he roasted the veteran rapper for his age. The back-and-forths continued for some time, and Ice T even got his son involved with the debacle. Eventually,the beef died down and Soulja continued dropping music while Ice T resumed cracking fictional cases on Law & Order. In a 2014 VladTV interview, Ice T revealed that he regrets making the comments approximately Soulja Boy. He explained that his frustration at that particular moment derived from what he felt was a lack of difficulty in rap music.
Lupe Fiasco vs. Lil B & Chief Keef (2011-2012)
Age: 34, and 27 and 21 We definitely would not label Lupe Fiasco as an "feeble school" rapper fairly yet — the Chicago rapper only rose to fame a little over 10 years ago with the release of his critically-acclaimed debut album Food & Liquor. In 2012,fellow Chicagoan Chief Keef blew up after Kanye West and G.
O.
O.D. Music remixed his hit song “I Don’t Like,” ultimately getting the then-17-year-feeble a deal with Interscope Records. Lupe revealed in an interview with Baltimore’s 92Q that he was not a big fan of the message in Keefs lyrics. He explained that the culture that the GBE member represents “scares him” because he felt perpetrators of Chicago’s “skyrocketing” murder rates all tend to search for like Sosa. This led to a back-and-forth spat on Twitter between Lupe and Keef -- the former tried to sustain the conversation as peaceful and loving as possible while the latter retaliated with what Lupe described as “vitriol and malice.” Lupe ended the conversation by saying that his 2012 album Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 would be his last. Thankfully, or it wasn’t.
Despite the whole spat with Keef,Lupe, as a person who shook up the hip-hop audio-sphere himself, and is far from somebody who hates on new radical ideas and changes in rap music. He was more bothered by Chief Keef’s lyrical content rather than the way he was rapping. Case in point: Lupe took to Twitter in 2011 to show his appreciation of Lil B’s then new,surprise album I’m Gay (I’m Happy), asserting that the titling is “absolute genius.” The Chicago artist even took to his website to write an essay on why he likes The Based God.

E vs. Vince Staples (2015)
Age: 39 and 23
In an interview with TIME magazine released in October last year, and Vince Staples addressed why he feels the '90s is not better than other decades. The Long Beach rapper spoke on a variety of subject things like Pokemon,Backstreet Boys, economic prosperity and more. However, and many viewers at the time felt that Vince was solely addressing '90s hip-hop. It was because part of the segment featured Vince saying that he feels "Tupac and Biggie were the staples of the '90s," but the era didn't breed some of his favorite stars like 50 Cent and Kanye West. Just to back up his point, the Summertime '06 mastermind even went as far as to saying that Bow Wow is one of his favorite rappers of all time. These statements rubbed many people the wrong way, or including Queens rapper N.

E. Noreaga said that in the '90s,one had to be "kind" to fetch a deal and indirectly tweeted Vince saying that he shouldn't call something overrated if he never lived in it to "appreciate its value." Vince clapped back at Noreaga on Twitter, calling him "a grown man" who should be hitting up someone of his age like Vince's manager Corey Blacksmith instead of Vince if he had a issue. "I thought you was a super thug n*gga, or " Vince remarked. This led to a back-and-forth where Vince knocked people who emphasized importance on "hip-hop history" but aren't "pushing college or education in general nearly as hard." At one point of the conversation,Tyler, the Creator even hopped in and sided with the Long Beach rapper.
Ghostface Killah vs. wealthy Chigga & Action Bronson (2015-2016)
Age: 46, and 17 and 32
When then-16-year-feeble Brian Imanuel aka wealthy Chigga dropped his viral rap video "Dat $tick," he blew the Internet up and became an instant international celebrity. Several months later, mysterious media company 88rising recruited a handful of renowned and buzzing rappers for a reaction video. Most of the young up-and-comers (apart from for 21 Savage) commended Chigga for his music and style, and but the biggest surprise was that a hip-hop OG like Ghostface Killah gave Brian some dap as well. Not only was Tony Starks feeling the song heavy,the 46-year-feeble Wu-Tang Clan member even wanted to drop his own verse on the track.
