Soulja Boy Says OG Rappers Aren’t ‘Kickin’ Back Knowledge’ To Younger Generations, Claiming They Have ‘Failed’ Them

Legendary rappers such as Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Nas, and Ice Cube have paved the way for other up-and-coming artists in the industry. However, Soulja Boy recently shared his thoughts on the state of Hip Hop and how the OGs have withheld knowledge from the younger generation of entertainers.

On Monday, Big Draco took to Instagram Live and criticized the older generations in the rap game for failing to guide those following in their footsteps. 

“Don’t get it f**ked up. You gotta work hard, you know what I’m saying?” the 31-year-old rapper said on the Live. “I feel like, in a way, the motherf**king game failed us because they’re not kicking back enough knowledge to the young ni**as. They not telling the youngin’s how to get no money. They not tellin’ ni**as how to go out and run up some bands. That’s why my youngins out here going crazy. Airing sh*t out, spinning sh*t. Cause I feel like they failed us in a way.”

The Chicago native continued his rant by saying, “all the [OG’s] you supposed to be kicking knowledge. Y’all supposed to be kicking game to the young ni**as so they really running up a bankroll and that’s the problem I’m trying to tell you [bro]. Like, n**as look back and be like where did this ni**a go wrong or what happened? I’m like y’all not kicking back enough knowledge to the young ni**as.”

With over ten years in the industry, Soulja Boy has made his mark in the rap game. In September 2007, he released his debut single, “Crank That (Soulja Boy),” which peaked at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song and dance prompted fans to display their dancing skills while emulating the rapper’s infectious moves. Since then, Soulja Boy has released five albums and more than 51 mixtapes. His latest project, “Soulja Boy Drops Off “Big Draco 3,”‘ was released in March, HNHH reported.
