As has become common in 2019, another rapper has paid fealty to the Mighty, Mighty Draco.
A$AP Rocky kept it real in an interview with Real 92.3, explaining the debt he owes Soulja Boy.
"If it wasn't for Soulja Boy, ASAP Rocky probably wouldn't be around," he said. "It's not too far-fetched as me saying 'If it wasn't for Kanye and Pharrell I wouldn't be able to do what I do in fashion ... He kinda made a formula. He was the first to do it and it work for him and since then I think that kind of became a basis of a standard way to make it."
Sadly, A$AP has never had the chance to worship his king in person.
"I never met him yet," Rocky admitted. "He showed up to Yams Day and, unfortunately, I was in the back cursing out some sound people."
Did Soulja change the game or nah?
