Method Man has spoke out and given his opinion on the war of words between Hip-Hop veteran Ice T and Soulja Boy.

As Hip-Hop Kings recently reported Ice T made comments about Soulja Boy such as "Soulja Boy, I know you're young enough to be my kid but you single-handedly killed Hip-Hop, man." He added, "Fuck Soulja Boy." and told him to, "Eat a dick." Soulja Boy responded with a video on YouTube laying into Ice T, one of the founders of "Gangsta Rap."

Now Method Man spoke of his feelings in a recent interview and said that Soulja Boy is being unfairly blamed for the current state of Hip-Hop. Method Man started the discussion on Pheonix radio show "The Nutz In The Morning," by paying respect to Ice T. "Ice-T is an O.G. He shouldn’t even be addressing nuttin’ like that, but he felt like it was his duty to address it for the love of Hip-Hop and all of that and I respect that," he said. "But him being at the status that he’s at, he shouldn’t address someone like Soulja Boy, nor should Snoop Dogg."

He went on to speak about Soulja Boy and the media's portrayal of the star. "If he wasn’t put out there like that, like he was the truth, I don’t think anybody would have a problem with him like that because lyrically he’s not the truth. It’s not a secret, he’s a shorty. What life experience does he really have where he can sit down and go up with a Nas or a Lil’ Wayne, for that matter? It is what it is, man. These kids like him, so be it. Don’t hate on the lil’ nigga, congratulate him."

Method Man ended the conversation by saying, "And don’t get me wrong, you,” he said. “I’m not biggin’ up Soulja Boy, I’m just saying. I think the nigga suck, too. I think he’s garbage, but I don’t think everybody should be blaming him for the state of Hip-Hop right now. You can’t just put that all on his shoulders, for real. It’s not solely his fault, man."
