WOW!!! Now i get the chance to say what i really think about this song……….URGHHHHHHHHH I passionately hate it, it makes me physically sick, it's disgraceful that people are listening to this, i know most of them are kids, which it's still wrong. Why are children being subjected to this pile of shit! i mean what is it anyway?? it's not a song, what's the meaning of it?? maybe it has a hidden message that only people with bad taste in music can understand;(

you whites want to talk about no talent,,, talk about that batshit face britney and that no talented ass paris hilton and that no talent butt implant ass kim k, so when you mention no talent dont leave those trolls out, and like i said before let him do what ever dance he wants to, at least he aint out there hitting your ass upside the head taking your $. so dont listen to his song and please FUCKING stop trying to do the crank that dance. Do you know how many white folks i see on the inernet aand youtube trying to do his dance.

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.

–Natalie Portman likes it!!

Bet you fuckers would appreciate his music if he was a alcoholic, crack pipe, cocaine addicted, lip syncing, cannot carry a tune, pale ass fuck—

And do people even realize what "Superman that hoe" means? He's talking about shooting a super amount of cum on a female. He even said in earlier interviews that the Superman line was originally written more explicitly. SO basically, we have 5 year olds rapping about nutting on women

So stop hating on someone who is making money, nobody forced the public to buy his records.

you are totally right Perez! While rap music is not really my scene, I have nothing against Soulja Boy. It's just apalling that such a hit single consists of a few verses and lots of annoying repitition. Love ya Perez!
