it's sad what some people consider to be music these days. *sigh*
As an elderly man from rural kentucky i would have to say the reason people purchase this man's recording is because the women will take their under palmies off when they hear it.

Is it a bad song?? I've never heard it.
i work at a top 40 radio station and am SO SICK of this song. i'm beyond sick. i've already puked, i think i may be dying. i swear if i have to hear ONE more tweeny call up and request "crank that"…….

I TOTALLY agree. And do you know what that song MEANS? It is GROSS! I think it is awful that people are doing some stupid dance to a song that is so sick.
Say it isn't so. This means I can become a tasteless, talentless, "rapper" and make millions too!
Stupid apes keep buying that shizzzz.
Ugh, I agree with you there, Perez.
That song's not only shite, but the lyrics make me want to freakin' puke, too.

Couldn't agree more. I cant stand this loser. Where will he be in 10 years.
KIDS..My Son downloaded it so I contributed 2 that 3 million…
So, the other night I was at Waffle House (don't hate…its a southern thing…plus its the only thing open at 4 AM here…) and "Crank That" played a staggering SIX times in an hour.
What the fuck kind of shit is that?!
hip-hop is for little kids these days……… 90's raves in Cali. & Hawaii & the desert ________killed all these morons.. 90's bizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzaches!!!!
….not sure. Crickets in mating season sound better. Young'uns.
Because it is catchy and has a cute dance

*this is why i'm hott scottt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cause it's a good song ya fat f*ck. Sorry it's not the Jonas brothers or Lilly Allen or whatever other gay crap you constantly promote on this site.
ugh i hate crank that….i wanna hit someone everytime i hear that song
im sorry to say i downloaded this song…. worst 15 cents i've ever spent….
I fucking hate Soulja Boy he's such a piece of useless shit. He's so fucking annoying he thinks he's so great but his music wants to make me puke every time I hear that crap. I'd rather eat out the asshole of a dead skunk then listen to Crank that.
"Why would anyone waste their money on that crap???"
YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!!!! WTF!
In a few months, people will consider this the latest Macarena.
superman dat ho!
gross. this is just depressing.
and i thought i was the only one who didnt like that song!
The same people who put post on his sight about this no talent hack.
Its the End of The World . . . Stock up on lots of water, canned goods and load your guns.
what a terrible song
what a terrible song
Don't hate, f***ing appreciate : ) Way 2 go Soulja. First
mid-west & east-coasters are_______ morons & monkeys!! even lil' kids n' Cali make fun of most of the music these days,,,, i have 2 kids & they are very wise…. society today is a joke, no wonder i'm rich bitch!!!!!!!!!
does anyone have a gun?
bcoz america is stupid,that's why
I think that song is like a big joke on white people who don't understand what the song actually means. LOL "Wee! He says he's showin' us a new dance! Woo hoo!" and they're singin' along not even knowing what they're saying. But it's actually really gross, dudes. REALLY.
you know…just cause u don't like a song doesn't mean everyone else doesn't…apparently people like the song if it was legally downloaded 3 million times, i'm not a fan of the song but i know people who are, 3 million jackass
Agreed
for once or twice
100% AGREE SUCH A STUPID SONG!!!!!!!!!
THAT SHOULD BE THROWN INTO THE PIT OF DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am from Savannah, Georgia and I LOVE WAFFLE HOUSE!!!!!
what the fuck is 'soulja' anyways? i hate fuckin ghetto ass gangster lingo. ebonics? dont they know how fuckin uneducated and degenerate they sound? its good to know that our society values their culture enough to make them a known 'rapper' who banks in on 'rapping' about girls, grills and gold chains.
I have to agree, that song is terrible!! Not to mention they play it way to much, on the radio and at the club, I wish he would take a long walk off a short pier, cause you know he cant swim!
I couldn't agree with you more!!!!!!

Re: Gaby – don't be a dumb a** ever heard of to each its own?
HORRIBLE SONG!!!
Actually, this is just exhibit 100,000,001 as to why music sucks today. Between the friggin 500 articles posted here about The Jonas Brothers and all of those American/British Idol losers, Robin Thicke, the British Robin Thicke, 50 cent, P-diddy or whatever the fuck he has nicknamed himself, "Mimi" Carey, Miley Cirus, Wino, John Mayer and all of those other countless ass clowns there is no wonder today's young people have absolutely no clue as what good music is.
YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
ooooooo
The first time I actually listened that song, instead of it just surrounding me when people's phones rang, I could not believe that this is what everybody was in love with. It's effin' horrible.
Re: Loren – Girl- you know Waffle House is the BOMB! Unfortunately you had to endure a waitress, a cook and a busboy with 2 teeth between the 3 of them AND try to decypher the lyrics of that song!
Sounds like he has shit in his mouth…"wa'h me hedah, w'a'h me rooooh" WHAT THE HELL IS HE SAYING?!?!?!
Never heard it and don't want to!
MTV is so stupid..not only they don't play videos,but they always invite rappers on TRL,come on! we've had enough! rock 'n roll,now that's hot! we're sick of artists like him,same music,we've heard it all before.sounds just like that,just like that,same sound,same beat fuck them all! Kanye West is really unique,he's not ur typical rapper who only puts the same crap that has been done million years ago. to all the rappers who only displays women's ass on videos,fuck them all,u sexist bastards!go to hell!
Re: SAY WHAT?? – are u serious..you dont know crank that soulja boy….
you're all jealous because you're a bunch of hoes not worth being supermanned.
i agree… some dj in my town said… "this song just proves that you can jump off the short bus and make a hit record."
Hey a 17 year old did the music, dance, video, and got paid. I can't hate on that.
shut up you qay ass fat ass faqqot ! i bet if he was cuban like you you wouldnt say that shit . he makes more $$ than you anyday bitch !
that song is so much fun!
Thank god an emo band or faux rock song didn't win!!
the reason for this songs digital success is probably because of stupid girls who download it legally because they don't realize that the song is naturally crappy quality, and they think it's just them limewiring it.
sOuLjA bOi SuCkZzzz
l0lz.
yo?
:]
Re: ghostin007@gmail.com – will you call him an ape to his face ?hell no! punk ass tough behind close doors
Even worse than the song, is it's annoying ability to make every overly-buff, frat-guy, think that they can dance to it when they've had one too many PBRs. Ech. I cannot stand that song.
I've never heard of this song…Maybe us Canadians, altho we smoke more pot, have smarter, if yet sparser braincells?
Gimme Albino anyday!
Seriously, it was playing at the cowboy game last sunday and I was embarassed for my singer/songwriter father to hear that fucking shit. He was like "What the hell is this shit" just hung my head in shame!!!!!
oh gawd…
The music industry is directly responsible for cultivating the violence we are seeing in a whole generation that grew up with this garbage.
I think the reason is that the song is incoherent, it has a good beat, and it has the one thing no one can resist - a dance to go along with it.
He's no FLAVA-FLAV, that's for sure!
I love this song its amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its not stupid. he created a whole dance for everyone to learn. thats amazing
isnt he like 16?
Why do you hate him so much?
Because most hip hop is fucking bullshit. Its the most marketable crap there is, and people are to stupid enough to eat it up. A bunch of white executives make these deals to guys like Soulja, there;s nothing SOULFUL about this type of shit. Its all money. I'll gladly support independent artists without record labels, these fools will never get my money. Besides, that dude is not only homely, but he is wearing a buttercup yellow hoodie and a golf tee. Pe-ew!
For the same reason we waste our time on this website. God bless the US of A.
fIRST OF ALL, you should give him credit, the kid did the song all on his own, and made millions. Everyone is doing the dance all over the world as seen on all the websites. I personally don't like the song, but come on, you gotta give him credit for being the most downloaded song in history……so far…
fuck you, you fat shit, soulja boy is amazing.
My personal view is that this is a BS song. I call it POP-HOP (pop & hip-hop) But if sold 3 million units, he must be doing something good. It must be all the red states buying that shit. The low point is i am driving down the street and i see people doing that f*cked up dance on the street. WOW…REALLY..THIS IS HAPPENING, is what i think to myself. music for the masses.
The song is really stupid — lyrics that don't make sense, etc. Despite this fact, it was okay to listen to the first BILLION times or so, but not it's a little old! I can't believe anyone would download it. I'm so sick of it now . . .

Its cool that people are able to make money but everyone needs to be honest and realize that the majority of new music being put out today is garbage..Esp Rap. Everything has no soul, no truth, no talent!!!~
