While speaking with Vlad TV, Silkk The Shocker was able to offer his thoughts on Travi$ Scott dissing him on his Rodeo record, “I Can Tell.”
On “I Can Tell,” Scott raps: “Five-o-four hot boys, minus the bad rap like Silkk the Shocker / But I’mma pull up the silk, to shock her with the silk.”
According to Silkk, he wasn’t too concerned with the Houston, Texas rapper taking a shot at him on the record. He says he didn’t feel disrespected by the mention, and revealed that he doesn’t have much of an opinion on the matter.
“First of all, I think it’s good that he even would know that,” Silkk The Shocker said. “But me I’m not into—Like if I was taking it back to my city days or whatever, it would probably be an issue. But I can have an opinion about him too. Whatever. We’ll leave it at that. But as far as him saying it, he’s entitled to his opinion. He has to sell records like we sell, so let’s just leave it like—Let’s see. I think I’m good. He good. Then we good. So, I don’t have an opinion either way. I think he has the right to say what he wanna say. It’s fun. It’s all fun and games. He ain’t disrespect me…I like him as an artist.”
In regards to his placement on various “Worst Rappers” lists, the former No Limit lyricist explained that he does in some way see why he was placed on such lists, but did add that he still sold more records than a lot of other rappers.
“I think I was offbeat,” he said. “I think what’s funny is nowadays they want me to be offbeat again…I think I had my own style, which I don’t think was right or wrong…At the time I didn’t really care about it. I was just doing my thing. Doing my best, but when I go back and listen to it I’m like ‘Those are pretty good songs.’ I had my own lane, once again. So, I could never call another rapper ‘horrible’ cause we all have our own style…The worst rapper stuff, I don’t know what makes that. I do see that, but I’m confused on who gave them a chart that says—Look, I sold a lot of records. I sold more records than a lot of rappers.”
What does someone like Silkk the Shocker do on a daily basis? Does he have a job? At least Silkk was trying, unlike Chief Keef, Soulja Boy, that autotune singer that Hopsin made fun of, and many others.
hell naw he doesn’t have a job….He’s a boss
Never was a big No Limit Fan, but to be honest, Silkk is probably better than 90% of the rappers nowadays. “If My 9 Could Talk” is my fav Silkk track.
I think he makes perfect sense. He’s being mature & real about it, its not that serious. He’s still eating off his big bro. Life is good, who cares what people gotta say. Fuck it…
Exactly! It’s just entertainment…onto the next.
Old niggas keep taking Ls from young niggas. Kinda sad if you think about it lol.
Hey u……Hold this L …Ya bish
You takin L’s clown.
Unintelligible rap with no hot lines or imagination. Rap has suffered tremendously since autotuninig and shitty lyrics have become acceptable. Only newshit worth anything is Kendrick.
To all the haters where are y’all bars
Trash pure garbage
LOL me and my boys were arguing about that the other day before this article even came out! I told them Rihanna can’t sing and its all studio singing and Yung thug sucks has no talent, it doesnt even matter if they are selling records by the tons. Silkk used to rap Off Beat like a mf and just rumble his words out, no flow whatsoever but he sold Millions, more than most of theser rappers today! FACT. Rich mfs don’t care man
I honestly like Silk….His style is unorthodox. He raps like he’s talking and that’s actually the way he talked back then but if you listen to his lyrics dude spit real talk everytime and established his own.lane made his consumer buy into him instead of switching over for the consumer…that takes balls..Go Listen to Charge It To The Game and tell me it’s not a classic…Better than any rap cd came out this year…..it’s funny tho cuz Silk is too rich to.give a fuck
Unorthodox is the best word to describe his style. It’s kinda like how E-40 or RZA would rap.
Exactly! 2 other rappers who are great
Silk had some good songs, some of the best on no-limit. If you listen to his early appearances he could rap different styles. I think he should do like Master P and release some new music. It makes me mad when radio Djs talk trash it is because their HATIN on a major 90s dude. Go listen to Silks song “if I dont gotta”, its DOPE and better then most of the radio rap today. And yes, silks “odd beat” style was his and his own. Obviously when he was in the studio Master p gave a thumbs up, and I bought silks albulms and STILL BUMP THEM TODAY! F@$k all yall.
another rapper said he thinks silk sucks at what he does for a living and silk isnt offended…….odd lol
I love u silk and all ways will these nothing broke suckers on here hiding behind close doors big bank take lil bank i am from Alabama the south we come see about u females taking charge living large pussy as fuck boys get off my homie silk be fore i dress up and come skin your as alive
Wow totally impressed by Silkk the Shocker’s humble friendly personality. I’d rather chill with him than 9.7 out of 10 other rappers. He’s mature and very calm with no drama. I’m gonna go listen to his music now with a whole new appreciation.
Travis who? Talking shit about part of the pavement that helped your non rapping ass get paid. Respect your paycheck hack ass travis
Also, if you are good at what you do $cott? Than you can destroy me on a freestyle battle. I know I’m going to not get a response, but if I do good on you. Are you going to pull your titties out at the halftime show?
