Thank goddess for XM radio! I'd like to see someone mumble ebonics the way does in that stupid song and try to find a job that pays more than $5.00 an hour.
THE REASON THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS IN THE CRAPER IS BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS DOWNLOADED THE SONGS FOR FREE, BURNING THEM ON TO CD'S , I-PODS ETC, NO ONE IS GOING OUT TO THE STORES TO BY THE ACTUAL CD….. IF YOU WANT BLAME SOMEONE FOR CRAPPY MUSIC, BLAME ALL THESE EXEC'S MOLDING BEAUTIFUL WOMEN / MEN ETC, INTO STARS THAT DON'T EVEN SING. HALF OF THEM LIPSYNC, THE OTHER HALF SUCK SO BAD, THEY ONLY SOUND GOOD AFTER THE MASTER THE CD, BUT WHEN YOU SEE THEM LIVE IN CONCERT YOU WONDER WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN, THE MUSIC INDUSTRY NEEDS TO GIVE ALL THESE STARVING ARTIST A CHANCE AND STOP TRYING MOLD THEIR OWN ARTIST INTO SOMETHING THEY ARE NOT………
the music industry is going to the dogs and soulja boi should feel personally responsible for releasing shite like that.
leave the kid alone…he's like 17years old and has no say , PUPPET-MUCH
GIVE THE PUBLIC WHAT THEY WANT!!!
GIVE THE PUBLIC WHAT THEY WANT!!!
GIVE THE PUBLIC WHAT THEY WANT!!!

FUCK RAP music anyways it's awful, degrading, racist, sexist and overall it's just not music that is uplifting, in any way shape or form….
FUCK U PEREZ BECUZ U PROBABLY CAN DO THE WHOLE
'souljah boy dance'
i heard he jacked that song ne way. that song is freakin aggrevating
What have you ever produced Perez? You no talent waste of space.
And people wonder why prejudice exists. It's because of this shit.
Perez…I agree….I am a vocalist myself and I thnk it is terirble people like this (who calls them selves soulja boy wtf) make millions of dollars by intimidating mentally ill people to the beat of banging pencils against half full glasses of water and xylophones…what ever happened to people like Reba with REAL talent?!!
because alot of uneducated Negros like it…..
Hmm let's see…..his song isn't hurting anyone….he's raking in his money. Just as some of you say "if you don't like Perez then don't come to his website…." uhh…well……du-uuuuh change the station!

Who's mad because they can't "crank dat"? LMAO!

Keep it up Soulja!
Re: bizz – Um retard, I don't care for Perez, but I can't deny his brilliance in CREATING this SITE. Hell, we're here and we don't like him, LOL.
REALITY CHECK EVERYONE….
p.s: he's rich and you're not, so shut up …and CRANK THAT! lmao!
ugh, he makes me sick.
whatever happened to real music?
white people love this crap! its sad and pathetic black people are never going to learn how to speak english way to stay oppressed!
THAT SONG IS SO EFFED UP! and that dance! jesus… the whole thing is just terrible CRAP. its disgusting how TALENTED musicians work for years playing in basements and get nowhere, but stupid retards like this get fame in a heartbeat. all because of radio play and a bunch of dancing sluts who are just following the herd.
hahahaahhAHHAH Perez, jesus fucking christ twat loogie that was a hilarious post. Im gonna illegally download it, now.
gawd, i could not agree MORE! it's like being stabbed in the ear with a dull pencil…
ALL OF YOU SAYING THAT RAP MUSIC CREATED ALL THIS VIOLENCE ETC ETC, THAT'S ALL BS…. HIP HOP HAS POSITIVE ARTIST. IF YOU NEED THE NAMES JUST ASK AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU WHAT POSITIVE MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE, NO ONE CAN FORCE ANYONE TO MAKE THE MISTAKES THEY MAKE, IF THEY ARE THAT DUMB THEN THEY DESERVE WHATEVER PUNISHMENT, BUT DON'T BLAME ANY MUSIC FOR ANYONE'S ACTIONS……. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS……NOT ANYONE ELSE..
HE IS SSSOOO HOTTTTTTTT!!!!
and wtvaaaaaaaa
Holy Shit!! Gouge my eyes out and skull fuck me. Or better yet do it to the 3 million rejects that paid to buy this song. What the fuck has happened to music… it all seems to really suck balls these days. Its a pitty that ears have to be subjected to this kind of crap. At least it has spawned some funny videos on youtube… I prefer to crank dat SODA boy! My ears are bleeding and I think I've lost some synapse response from even writing about this
Re: jaymz hetfiled –
#110 - jaymz hetfiled says – reply to this
because alot of uneducated Negros like it…..
UMM HELLO SMARTY PANTS…
1) Black people don't buy DVDs, Itunes or any of that shit
2) IT'S WHITE AMERICA THAT'S MAKIN THEM RICH…you're so blind to what's really going on, it's [ KATIE AND JACOB ] buying the cds, downloading the songs, and TRYING TO HARD TO BE GANGSTA AND WANNA-BE NEGROES….that is why he is popular..
[ superman that hoe…you! LMAO.SMH.LMAO….luvv it or leave it]
Re: Kate – go to, urban dictionary on the web, type in: superman that ho. Then tell everyone what a great song it is. Its pure shit.
Re: ^^You Know What Really Grinds My Gears^^ –
WOOOOO! AGREED! rock all the way.
HOW MANY OF YOU LOVED BRITNEY BEFORE ALL THIS?
I BET EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU DID,,,, AND YOUR SITTING HERE TALKING CRAP ABOUT RAP AND MURDERERS ETC ETC,,,
BRITNEY WAS NEVER BEEN A SINGER……… SHE SUCKS BALLS……
TECHNOLOGY IS AWESOME,, YOU CAN TAKE ANYONE THAT CAN'T SING AND MAKE THEM SOUND LIKE THEY CAN…….
AND IF YOU WERE A BRITNEY FAN AND WENT TO A CONCERT THEN YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING IS TRUE……………
SHE CAN'T SING… BUT SHE STILL SOLD OVER 30 MILLION ALBUMS..
This is partly what's wrong with this country today. Shit like this is being bought by millions of people. This is what "music" in now considered to be. No one buys music anymore that has actual lyrics and arrangements with live instruments. Now it's a bunch of synthesized beats with some uneducated (judging by the anunciation and diction of the "artist") talking over it. WTF? This truly makes me fucking sick. How much do you wanna bet we'll have forgotten old "Soulja Boy" in a year. Worthless.
Re: MISS LOLA VITA –
I AGREE WITH MISS LOLA LMFAO… IT'S NOT EVEN US BUYING THE MUSIC, YOU RACIST …. LMFAOO YOUR JUST MAD BECAUSE YOUR DAUGHTER OR COUSIN OR SIBLING IS IN THE LIVING ROOM RIGHT NOW SINGING AND DOING THE DANCE, AND YOU WANT TO HANG YOURSELF RIGHT NOW… LMFAOO THANKS FOR MAKING US RICH BITCHHH LMFAOO..
I totally agree! i can't stand the song, it's wayyyyyyyyy too over played, and the lyrics……….yeah i'm not even gonna start on thoose.
this is shameful.. crank that is the biggest pile of crap ever..i even refuse to listen to it..
Perez I don't always agree with you but damn you're right!!! This song sucks ASS!!!! I just don't get what the big deal is with it. It is so STUPID, I can't believe people actually could possibly like it even the teeniest bit. Dumb, dumb, dumb. One of my fav. old school songs is DJ Kool's Let me Clear my Throat. Now that song rocks and everyone should check it out–old or not.
Well I LOVE this song, and you should try to be TOLERANT… If you don't like this song, don't listen to it, no one's forcing you !!!
ewwww, I wouldn't even download that illegally
soulja boy is a big idiot
he has no talent.anyone could make a song like crank that
people download this crappy song because of the crappy dance that goes with it
My idiot tween cousins insisted they play this at my wedding. I almost fucking killed them
Re: drproctor13 –
I think that sums it up pretty nicely doctor
any self respecting woman that knew what "Superman dat hoe" really meant would not be singing or dancing… but most of the time it just a beat and a dance move that get all the attention.
Like that easy listening trendy LA hipster shit you plug on your site is cool?
i dont like him.
hes WAAAAYYY too cocky.
OH MY GOD ARE U KIDDING ME? HAHAHA I WAS IN THE MALDVIES AND SUDDENLY HIS SONG CAME ON THE TV AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST COS THE MUSIC CHANNEL WAS SO CRAPPY THEY COULDNT AFFORD TO SHOW ANY BETTER SONGS I CNT BELIEVE HES ACTUALLY FAMOUS IN AMERICA HAHAHAHA WTFFFFF
soula boy tell 'em!! em… or not hahah and his videos are the fucking gayest shit i have evr fucking seen lik all these bitches running after him and shit,
HE IS A FUCKING UGLY LITTLE SKINNY SHIT AND HIS CLOTHES ARE SO BIOG HE COULD LIVE IN THEM
Baha soz.. i love this
this song its actually ace
just frm the fact its pure comedy
i'M NOT A BIG FAN OF THE SONG, BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT ITS CATCHY AND ITS FUN DOING THE DANCE!!!
EVERYONE HATING ON THE SONG, I BET YOU ALL HAVE AT LEAST TRIED THE DANCE ONCE:p
This is a bad song. The lyrics trick all of you. "Soulja boy up in this hoe…….superman that hoe" (to superman a woman means to cum on her back and put the sheet up on her, so when she wakes up the cum is dry and the sheet is stuck to her like a cape…aka superman)……."supersoak that hoe"( cum alllll over a woman). He is nasty and I won't let my kids listen to this filth anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why cant everyone stop hating on him ok he is only seventeen leave him alone his music is good thats why everyone is buying his music cus its GOOD so leave him the hell alone god go choke on some more britney drama and leave his who ha out of yo mouth
He looks and acts like a freakin baboon. That song is about as crappy as you can get. What the hell has happened to the music industry?
stick to britney and lindsey you fat fuck. Stay that fatass of yours away from politics and music. Let the people decide for themselves what to listen to. Ps watch out for tom cruise he's coming for you:)
Re: yodafish – LOL, I call songs like this HIP-POP… I guess I am not all that unique. What has happened to hip hop and rap? It's a bunch of bubble gum crap now and I can't stand it.
No doubt these people are insane, well in my opinion anyway.
This song sucks beyond the epitome of sucking!
But I guess different strokes…
seriously, when you can get it for free.
I was in the audience yesterday when he appeared on LIVE with Regis and Kelly. He was respectful and a little shy. He performed and then taught audience members how to do the dance. It was good clean fun.
Re: cailynne –
I'm black. And i'm sure i make more money than your whole family put together. Do you realize how uneducated YOU sound? Obviously you've never travelled out of the US.Living on some trailer park…stupid cracker! lol.
Nothing to worry about. It's just a matter of time before another god-awful song breaks that record. People love stupid shit music. It's a fad. Another fad will come along that'll make Souljah Boy sound like Mozart.
This is why people think hip hop is crap.
Because a guy writes a song about absolutely NOTHING and it becomes the most famous.
All it is is something fun to dance to- nothing more.
But believe me, some people actually do have something to say
"you can dance if you want to" don't we still here that fucking idiotic song. You are just unable to dance to THAT SOULJABOY SONG PERRY!!!! I am sure of it. Let's picture it and BUST A GUT LAUGHING!!!!! POOR PERRY SO CLOSE MINDED!!!! LMAO!!!
Girl you have no room to talk. That shit you listen to is super queer. Hip hop and dance music is lame. When I hear those computerized beats I'm flushed with a wave of antipathy. This is the McDonalds of music. Fast, easy and fucking cheesy. Real musicians need an education, just like any other profession.Go learn music theory and contribute something you goofballs.
Perez we actually agree on something!!!!!!!!!! That song and that idiot is what makes me hurt!!! It requires no talent to record and no talent to perform!!!!!! glorifying that shit and the moron that makes that shit is what is bringing down the world and inteligent art as we know it!!!! Perez keep it up and i might actually become a fan of yours!!! MIGHT being the operative word
White people buy it, am black and I don't even buy or support Hip Hop or rap in the state it's in, it's definately CRAP. Full of artist unready to leave the hood and become WORLDWIDE
Fuck you perez. As much as I hate rap, the garbage you promote on this site all the fucking time (mika, that fat cow beth ditto, the fucking JONAS BROTHERS, etc) is just as horrible. All pop music is equal, including rap.
THAT SOOONNNG IS NEVER STUPID … i am black and I am happy a YOUNG MAN IS MAKING SOME MONEY !!
THAT SOOONNNG IS NEVER STUPID … i am black and I am happy a YOUNG MAN IS MAKING SOME MONEY !!
White People are the dummy's to support rap and Hip hop, I am black and I would NEVER support rap or hip hop in the state it is in now. Most of us illegally download and buy bootleg, Whtie people keep these artist rich. HOW IRONIC!
I just can't wait until their communities and teenagers start to reflect what they are embracing that should be interesting.
I cannot turn the radio dial fast enough when this song comes on. He sucks.
Re: Liz – do you know what the lyrics mean? Good clean fun? What a dumb shit you are.
i'm sorry but if your song sells over 3 million copies then it not crap i wouldn't think! you people who say it crap find me 3million and 1 people who agree and then your opinion might actually mean something! HATERS!!!
Perez is just jealous-
beth ditto, kate nash, mika and all those people who I think are damn terrible (have you all heard that silly dinosaur song by Nash as well as mika singing I can be like a thousand people on that foolish Grace kelly song) are promoted on this site. Be quiet and let that man make his money just like you do which is bashing people- which is quite insignificant in this world as a silly pop song might be as well but it is your livelihood- and I won't criticize you for it.
HA HA HA HA! I love how these things always turn into something about race and money. Facinates me how everyone thinks they are better than someone else because of the color of their skin or how much money they make….Morons.
Simple fact…The song is crap. Most songs out there, rap or not, are crap. The radio is crap. People should learn to right their own music and lyrics and talk about something worth while…Unfortunately, with the way kids eat this shit up, that will never happen. Radio's too worried about ratings, not worth while music. I'm proud to say I don't even know what the dance is. Everyone claims to hate it so much…why do you all know the dance??? Aren't there more important things to worry about than some 17 year old kid rapping about nonsense?
Preach Perez. Thank GOD most of you aren't brainless monkeys buying into whatever the media and MTV tells you. As for the rest of America, that's another story. Hopefully it's only a matter of time till the script is flipped and REAL music comes back. Dear God please.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************WHO THE FUCK BUYS THAT RETARDED SHIT? STOP SHOVING THAT CRAP OVER ON TO OUR SIDE OF THE POND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT AMERICANS ARE GIVEN THAT KID ALL THAT GOLD(yukkk) AND ALL THAT DOLLAR……THAT CHILD IS A AMERICAN BLING HORE……………………..SHAME ON USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TO THE WORLD, IT REPRESENTS A NEGATIVE AND SHALLOW SIDE TO YOUR GREAT COUNTRY…………………………
WORST. SONG. EVER.
The song is NOT CRAP if it's sold over 3 million copies (duh!)
There are obviously people out there who are stupid enough to buy this "crap song".
Personally, I downloaded my off limewire for free.
When I found out what some of the things in this song meant, I was pissesd off and disgusted! Perez is right, who would pay money for that crap?

I am equal parts ANNOYED,ENVIOUS,& CONGRATULATORY for both of you.;->
i'm really not that surprised. it's been so poular because there are so many idiots in this country. what's really funny to me is that half of the people who "looove this song" are so dense that they don't have the slightest clue what it means, and that's not saying much since the lyrics are so mindless. it kills me.
This song makes me want to scream. I hate this song with a passion. My kids and their friends love it and I can't figure out for the life of me what the hell they think is great about this song….

So true! That song is crap, the lyrics make no sense, and it's too repetitive.
I bought the Travis Barker Remix.
pretty sure it's because of my friend meghan's FABULOUS dance!
Black Negro monkeys always waste their money on worthless shit.
The Nigras LOVE that Soulja Boy! I bet even OBAMA be singin' it!
My son likes the song and dances to it. It is adorable!!!!!!!!!!
Well….. tbh…. I generally listen to heavy metal and won't have much to do with ghetto beats…. but it's actually pretty catchy :]
oh perez, one more reason why I heart you!
You have kick ass taste in music, and aren't afraid to call this shit out.
send that monkey to Irak
Funny some of the RACIST comments on here are hilarious! Besides the fact that the young man is a fucking genius?
White people are the primary consumers to hip-hop & have the nerve to act all gay-doe-fagulous when Phat-AZZ-Perez gives his corny opinion on any fucking thing. Have a mind of your own. I know a great percentage of you losers were probably posting your cheesy ass vids on youtube doing your own crappy rendition of the dance. LOL! Fuck off!

he's not the only thing wrong with the industry. a song doesn't get airplay unless there is some rap in it….. there are other types of songs!!!!!
If britney spears can be an atrtist so can anyone else. Atleast Souljaboy rights his own song. Stop being a hater and just congradulate!
No shit!! That song just screams ghetto-stupid. And the people that say it's a great song, also scream ghetto-stupid.
You got me Perez! First time I heard that song i wanted to kill myself. It's obnoxious. The pitch is gawdawful. It's repetitious and and annoying in the extreme.
his song is does not take any actual talent to do. people just want a retarded looking dance to go all with it so every teeny bopper will think they are cool. almost everyone at my high school loves it and played it like a million times at our pep rally. our generation really needs a makeover and fast.
that song is not GOOD in general, its just a really good dance song and catchy. just because you dont like it, doesnt mean other people dont [obviously]. this is just more evidence of your racism you ignorant fuck.
Re: costamesaboy –
youre a fucking disgusting piece of shit asshole who does not deserve to breathe. you ignorant waste of life.
