Kanye West has recently gone to his blog to publicly announce that he’s on the side of the marginally talented and highly annoying Soulja Boy. Kanye wrote “Soulja boy is fresh ass hell and is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is supposed to be. He came from the hood, made his own beats, made up a new saying, new sound and a new dance with one song. He had all of America rapping this summer. If that ain’t Hip Hop then what is?” I’ll tell you why Kanye was in great support of Soulja Boy – it’s because they’re both just way too into themselves.

Rapper Lil Bow Wow, oh wait, I meant Bow Wow. He’s not so little anymore. Anyway, the rapper was rushed to a Cincinnati hospital on Thursday night after he came from a performance there.

His record label issued a statement saying that the 20-year old rapper is suffering from ‘stress and exhaustion’. They also said that while his tour with Chris Brown, Sean Kingston and Soulja Boy prepares to take the stage in Chicago, he won’t be able to make it. The Sony rep does say that “He loves them and will be sure to come back to Chicago soon!”

‘Crank That (Soulja Boy)’ by Soulja Boy is currently at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. If the name sounds familiar but you’re not sure from where you’ve heard it before, let me tell you a story.

Souljah Boy, do notice the ‘h’, was part of the group Mo Thugs during the 90s. The guy with the h says he has been using that name for around 12 years and says that he was shocked when DeAndre Way, the real name of the guy without the h, Interscope and Collipark decided to ‘infringe and misappropriate his name’.

Souljah’s lawyers are reportedly in the process of contacting all the parties involved and are hoping to fix the problem.
