Who's more influential: Rakim or Soulja Boi?

ok man me and you are on the same page i consider myself to know a bit about rap music and i personally think soulja boy is great he gets alot of hate because of yahh trick and crank dat but if people would listen to the deandre way with songs like do it big and grammy etc he has some talent besides repitition(yahh trick yahh) lol and so i say soulja boy, the only guy on sodmg i really hate is lil b that guy is so full of himself and i hope soulja doesnt go the same way with the whole claiming to be a "based god" thing
