Rap newcomer Lil Uzi Vert wants peace and no war with Top Dawg Entertainment‘s Ab-Soul. The controversial artist has shouted out Soulo after getting singled out by him this week.
Uzi went to Twitter heading into the weekend and praised Ab’s lyrical skills.
This week, rap veteran Fong Sai U dropped a diss record aimed at Uzi for disrespecting hip-hop pioneer DJ Premier.

“I made the record because the disrespect is getting out of hand,” Fong told SOHH. “Especially when it’s people that inspired people around the world to do music. You don’t have to like them, h*ll some of them ain’t dope, but it’s the respect level. Enough’s enough.” (SOHH)

A few days ago, Ab-Soul allegedly fired a shot at Uzi Vert on social media.
Some media outlets believe Ab’s remarks stemmed from Uzi Vert not rhyming over a Premo instrumental.
Soul-O is referencing an interview Uzi did with Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning (included below) in which the “Money Longer” rapper refused to freestyle over the beat for Gang Starr’s “Mass Appeal.” “Oh he making me rap on that?” Uzi says when Ebro mentions the track. “I’m too young, I’m not into that.” Later on, when the discussion gets back to freestyling, Uzi says, “I’m telling you right now if you pull up one of them old beats I’m not rapping on it.” (XXL Mag)
That’s a hot track
I’ve never even heard of that nigga rapping an also artists like lil uzi, playboi carti, lil yachty, and famous dex. Are all creating a new movement,hip pop is dead basically and if it wasn’t for rappers like Kendrick,Joey BADASS and JCole etc. The shit would have been gone so yeah the old heads just have to except the fact that hip hop is damn near gone or dead. So dissing artists that could care less if you can spit or not cause it plenty of URL battle rappers that can rap forreal and still haven’t been signed it’s not about rap anymore it’s about appealing to the culture and society as a whole.
Real talk!!!
