that is sick
agreed!
#154, GO AWAY, YOU ARE THE TROLL, WHEN SOMEONE STARTS OUT CALLING THEMSELVES A BLACK BRITISH BABE:) WE, THE READERS KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE.
it proves that there are atleast 3,000,000 dumb asses in this world. not only do they download a terrible song by the worlds 1st retarded rapper with a major label deal, but they are in fact willing to pay for it. i wouldnt get that song if they paid me
one it one-der
I just take this seriously because he is wearing a t-shirt and sweatshirt as up-scale clothing. Grow up, this is not the sand lot. And as always the bigger the bling the size of their brain, self esteem and penis are suspect.
It is really sad that this is what equates to "music" these days. If more parents knew what their children listen to, and knew what the lyrics really mean in this song, there would be a lot less kids allowed to listen to it. But, since it was packaged with a silly dance, its "okay". Sad, truly sad. The lyrics are disgusting. If you didn't know what it means to "supa man that ho" look it up at urbandictionary.com.
He doesn't have the only silly song on the radio. People like the song because the beat is catchy. The music industry was in the crapper way before this kid made that song.
ok so like seriously, im crying right now
this is so sad
Dude, I love that song. Just embrace it, learn the dance and you will too. Stop hatin' it kicks ass and you know it.
Honestly i f***ing hate these guys and their one of the reason i stopped watching BET.Now i just hope i could bleach my skin…. what an embarrassment
HOLY FUCKKK PEREZ I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! THIS SONG IS COMPLETE TRASH AND ITS SO STUPID HOW EVERYONE LOVES THIS SONG SO MUCH AT MY SCHOOL. u know waht..its only the tweenages and kids who like it cuz obviously kids dont have good taste in music! like,duh.
souljah boy should just GO away
It's because black people don't know how to download free songs, so they buy them.
rap sucks.
holy crap i completely agree with you!
Thank Goodness someone finally said that- soooo true.
Re: Katie –
first of all, you're a racist moron, katie.
as a black person, i'm ashamed of this brand of 'hiphop'. this music does not speak for me and i'm sad that there's a whole generation of fucktards willing to buy into whatever crap the industry will pump down their throats, be it this ignorant sub-human aping english on the mic or the latest britney spears album. these days, class, taste, and talent are exceedingly rare.

INDEED. THIS IS THE MOST STUPIDEST SONG ON THE RADIO. MY ONLY CONSOLATION IS THAT HE WILL BE A ONE HIT WONDER!

serioulsy i hate fuckin this song so much!
Soulja Boy is god.
Crank That Soulja Boy, show 'em lil' homie who da boss izzzzzz!!!!
youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……perez
superman dat ho!!!
Wow Perez, after 2 fucking years I finally agree with you on something.
Re: Katie –
hahahahahaha That is fuckin funny!!! I laughed out loud…
UGH, UGH! WE NEED SOME SOMETHING OTHER THAN THIS CRAP TO LISTEN TO. WHO'S PAYING THE RADIO STATIONS TO PLAY THIS CRAP? PAYOLA AGAIN?
FINALLY, for the love of God, i found people that agree with me!!!!! The song is ooookay, but what the f*ck?!? Other than the fact that a bunch of high school kids think its 'PHAT' to cum on a girls (or mans?) back and put a towel on her/him. People can't really think for themselves, so what happens? you HAVE a bunch of High School kids who think Joulja Boy is 'TIGHT YA'LL' b/c it's what everyone else is doing…
hahahah im going to do some defining of the main phrase of the song….. crank dat…. "superman that hoe"….lol
super man that hoe is one of 2 things….1] a man is angered at his woman and proceeds to cum on her back and flip her over so the sheet sticks to her like a cape(a la superman) or 2…. a sexual postion where u grab her legs from behind and thrust in betwwen with super man speeds….lol…

I THINK THATS A COMMENT U SHOULD HAVE NOT SAID PEREZ I USE TO LIKE PERO AHORA HAY NO!
hate that fuckin song!!!!!this guy is a joke!!!
Proof that the end times are near when something like this even makes it out of the shitter where it was created.
yeah well obviously a lot of other people don't think so if it's so big. i do like the song it's just been played too many times but i can't knock him cause he did make millions off of it.
you should try it perez
this song is awesome. have you ever watched black people dance to this song? or been in college… its the life of the party. too many funny drunk videos to this song
this is sad, all u 13 year old soulja boy fans out there should just kill yourselves, you guys cant even spell 'music'
BRING BACK THE RAP OF THE 90'S
You're just mad because you can't do the dance perez. Keep practicing!!!!
i AGREE W/COMMENT #20! THESE DAYS U DONT NEED TALENT NOR THE BRAINS TO BE AN "ARTIST." WANNA BE RAPPERS LIKE THIS NO-TALENT KID PUT RAP MUSIC TO SHAME….THANK GOD LUPE FIASCO! YOU GUYZ REALLY NEED TO GET HIS CD!!!! AND HIS SONG "DUMB IT DOWN" EXPLAINS IT ALL!!!!
IF Soulja punks talent was paper, it wouldn't even be worth wiping your butt with it.
Who would listen to this song? yooooooooooooou! (haha)
Yeah It is not the greatest song but so the fuck what…. NO ONE CARES PEREZ HILTON BLOGS ARE RUN BY FAG BOYS AND DUMB ASS BITCHES THAT ARE PHONY FUCKING PEOPLE! AND GAY GUYS DONT SEEM TO MIND WHEN THEY ARE DANCING TO THIS SHIT. I PERSONALLY DONT LIKE THE SONG BUT THE MUSIC YOU GUYS PREFER GAGS ME !
Listen to 2PAC for real music!!!!!!!!
It sucks for people that are honestly musically talented singers and can't make it but this dude can…(shaking head in disgust)
What ever y'all this song is tha shiiiieet. u aint know? then u gotta go!
plz comin up in here talkin bullshit. Thats is music and its crunk. so dont hate
"Why would anyone waste their money on that crap???" That's exactly what I said when I saw the crap in your online store, Pukez… LOL!
It is extremely sad to think that thousands of teenage boys look up to dickheads like Soldier B-, whoops sorry, SOULJA Boy, my mistake. All that song consists of is HEEEYYY EEEHH OOOOHHHH HEEEYYYYY WOOOAAA HEEYYY. Yes, it takes a hell of a lot of talent to come up with that! If you asked a teenage hip-hop fan what 'melody' is, their response would undoubtly be, "What's melody?" Thank god I was born in the 80s…I actually got enjoy songs with melodies and lyrics you could understand.
in 10 yrs we'll all be watching him on VH1 one hit wonders - where are they now? shows… and he'll be watching from his cell or cardboard box in the ghetto.
Perez you are a stupid, FUGLY vindictive bitch!! How can you possibly claim to be an authority on style when you always look like you take fashion tips from Britney and the House of Dereon combined ( and Avril Lavinge on a bad day).
In addition, Soulja Boy is fun, fab track! Infintely more popular than some of the music you promote! stop being such an ignoramous!
Furthermore please enlighten us on why Lossip and other Latino websites seem to dislike you so much?
Finally cease with the Britney bashing! since when was it okay to make fun of people with Mental Health Problems? Shame on you! It could be so so so easy to make fun of your Gay Fugly ass, and I bet yo would not like that one bit would you?
That is the worse "song" ever!! Its not even a song, its some dude talking over a shitty beat! The music industry and radio is really to blame for promoting this crap. They know its crap but they know if you spoon feed crap to people they will eventually eat it up. Its a shame that people listen to this crap and K. West didnt get as many downloads. Top 40? Dog Piss Jones!! There are some top 40 making real pop songs but this is just Garbage!!
The only time I listen to this moron's song is when hester returns a punt
since he is aka superman.
but other then that, i honestly dont know why people would waist thier time listening to this dumb ass
That is the most disgusting song I have ever heard! Parents don't realize what their children are listening to. We actually took the time to look up what "superman" and "spiderman" and "super soak" actually mean. It had nothing to do with superheroes or a water gun! Wake up parents!! Your kids are listening to garbage!!
I dont get it, my kids love it! Its the same thing over & over & over oh and did I say OVER again!
Re: nic – what a racist. Just because black use slang does not make us ignorant. When you are with your friends you may speak one way but in another situation you know how to speak proper english. I do feel as if all african americans should know how to speak proper english but do no degrade us when you are the one buying this "crap".
And furthermore why should we put a cap on what is considered to be real hip hop. Music is a way of expression and if you don't like that particular song listen to what you like or what suits your personality. Don't hat on someone b/c he has made millions and you are not just don't listen to it.
Serisly do, y'all. What contributions do blacks make to society other than rap and hip-hop and sports these days? And I'm not talking about some great blacks of the past. I'm talking present day. What blacks actually donate money to a general cause outside of black interests? Anyone? Anyone?
Know what-I'm sayin', yo?
Bill Cosby said it all but nobody wants to really listen.
That song is offensively moronic. (moronically offensive?)
why? Because people are LEMMINGS!
Brotha wannabees.
They're laughin all the way to the bank
Which is empty by the way
Bush 'the son' has whacked America real good
The world watches in disgust
KATIE…. HOW THE HELL DO YOU WHAT BLACK PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW TO DO. MAYBE YOU DONT… AND PEREZ , YOU HAVE A LOT OF FUCKING NERVE TALKING SHIT ABOUT RAP BEING CRAP… YOU HAD YOUR BIG ASS ON CELEBRITY RAP LOOK ING ALL STUPID AND KNOW DAMN WELL YOU CANT RAP WORTH SHIT… WHY TALK ABOUT SOMETHING B/C YOUR ASS CANT DO IT…. AND IF SOULJA BOY IS TRASH THEN ALL YOU WHITES LIKE NATALIE PORTMAN ON TRL TRYING TO LEARN THE CRANK THAT DANCE SHOULD LEAVE IT ALONE AND LET THE FOLKS WHO LIKE IT ENJOY IT… I DONT LIKE ROCK MUSIC SO I FUCKING DONT LISTEN TO IT BUT YOU DONT SEE ME TALKING A BUNCH OF CRAP ABOUT IT… DONT LISTEN TO IT AND STOP TRYING TO DO THE DANCE … DAMN EVERYTHING BLACK FOLKS DO IS NOT FOR YOUR ASS. ITS JUST MUSIC DONT LIVE YOUR FUCKING LIFE BY IT.
Re: Odamae Brown – Why you ignorant racist CUNT!!! Your comment says more about you and your psychological deficiencies than it says about any black person in America. So go eat a log of rancid shit and die!
I LOVE THE SONG FOR KIDS , THEY LIKE TO DANCE OFF OF IT AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT DOING DRUGS AND OTHER FUCKED UP STUFF, LIETEN AND DANCE TO IT ALL THE HELL THEY WANT…. AND TO THE RETARD WHO SAID RAPPERS DONT CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO HELP FOLKS… WHERE WERE YOU AT WHEN ALL THOSE RAPPERS GAVE $ TO THE VICTIMS OF KATRINA AND JAY Z WENT TO AFRICA TO CONTRIBUTE CLEAN WATER AND MONEY, BEYONCE GAVE $ ALSO, GET YOUR FACTS STR8 BLACK RAPPERS HELPED KATRINA MORE THAN THE GOVERNMENT AND OTHERS, BUT WHEN THE CALIF FIRES HIT, I COULDNT BELIEVE THEY WHERE GIVING THOSE PEOPLE FOOD AND FREE MASSAGES AND ALL KINDS OF SHIT… TALK ABOUT HOW UNFAIR THAT SHIT WAS AND YEAH I SAID THE SHIT…. UNFAIRNESS WHEN IT COMES TO BLACK PEOPLE AND YOU WHITES KNOW THAT BUT YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!
@COCO VON LOCO… THAT COMMENT MADE BY ODAME BROWN WAS VERY IGNORANT AND I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT THINK ABOUT IT WHAT BLACK PERSON IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY AFTER KATRINA AND ALL THE HELP THE RAPPERS GAVE TO NEW ORLEANS. SO YOU KNOW THAT IS FROM A FAKE ASS WHITE PERSON MAKING RACIST COMMENTS PRETENDING TO BE BLACK… IGNORE THAT WORTHLESS CRAP!!
I'm proud to say that "Crank Dat" makes me sick to my fucking stomach.
I HAVE TASTE, YAY.
'Scuse me while I go immerse myself into Radiohead.
Oh Perez… if you don't like rap that's fine, but you don't have to criticize. It's not the #1 downloaded song for nothing. It's fun… you know you be bustin' the Superman… you ain't gotta lie.
he fucking sucks ass
I don't know who is worse: this 1 hit wonder or that fat, piece of shit Sean Kingston. Talk about no fucking talent…and people STILL buy his music. WTF is wrong with people these days???
Hes actualy pretty gOod.
Hes sOngs are just like anyOne elses.
Like Bubbly..
cOme On.
nOw theres gag.
sO see,
They are all the same.
Its just called jealousy peOple.
I Totally agree, I hate that fuckin song. And as a young black man, I think songs like that make young black guys seem ignorant and plain ghetto. Not all of us wear chains and clothes that are way too big. Who's fault is it that this damn song has been so successful, teenage white people. They are destroyin what rap is really about, sorry but true.
Don't hate… he's made millions of dollars off this one hit wonder! It might be trash, but if you go to any hip-hop club EVERYONE knows the dance! Have you heard "Crank that Batman".. theres other varieties such as "Crank that Spiderman, Spongebob, etc…" you tube it!
Ew.
FOR ONCE, FINALLY FOR ONCE I TOTALLY AGREE WITH PEREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT SONG DOESNT EVEN HAVE WORDS, ITS LIKE HE JUST GRUNTS!!
ok so some ppl like that song so wat—-not every 1 likes the same music—the song is catchy and easy to sing–like wtf ppl
Re: Odamae Brown – That's unfair and not all true. There are those kind of people that you're complaining about in every race. Can we all accept that and move on?
I totally fucking agree with you Perez!! Hate that shit!
FUCK SOULJA BOY AND HIS SONG!
PEOPLE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT "SUPAMAN DAT HO" MEANS. I AM QUITE SURE THAT THE AVERAGE PARENT AND YOUNG LADY WOULD NOT BE DANCING TO A SONG TALKING ABOUT IF YOUR GIRLFRIEND WONT GIVE YOU ANY WHEN FALLS ASLEEP JACK OFF AND EJACULATE ON HER BACK AND THEN PRESS THE SHEET TO HER BACK. WHEN SHE WAKES UP IN THE MORNING SHE WILL HAVE A "CAPE", HENCE THE PHRASE "SUPAMAN DAT HO"
Perez… You have issues. OK… i am not saying that this song is good. I have a sixteen yr old who WAS(thankgod) addicted to it, and i have heard it wayyy to many times, but i give credit were it is due. To have the emagination and the skills to pull something out of thin air and make millions off it….HELL why not. This kid obvously has tallent or it wouldn't have made it that far. He knew what kids wanted and he even stated he did this one day just messing around so hell all the power to the kid.Haters are getting pretty sad when they pick on those with talent. Jelousy gets you no were people live with it. They have money and you never will.
Crap? it aint no crap!! i luv his music
Re: costamesaboy – say wha? bizatches? :S
k FIRST of all, i know lots of people who love that song, and not just blacks, whites as well. but i wouldn't expect somebody like u to like it anywayz. and secondly, all i know is that soulja boy is paid, so go suck a dick. and for all you ppl who think black ppl are inferior, let me enlighten you. THERE IS NO SUPERIOR RACE. i think it is so pathetic that people actually think they are superior to others because of the color of their skin. like how could you actually think that?? lol it's kinda funny. but all laughs aside, you need to wake up and get over your pathetic dumb ass.
have a nice day!
Worst. Song. Ever.
Re: Jesse –
Okay. If it's soooo easy as you say, presto you can now do it. Duh, you can't and won't because it's not an issue of what's easy. This is a case of the X factor and I doubt anyone is going to be able to duplicate this feat for a long time.
Re: Julie –
People hate other people's success when it seem so "simple" that they could do it or because they are so sure they could do something "superior." I'm sure Soulja Boy would not consider this a work of musical genius, he probably just wanted to do something cool and fun. Appropriate for a 16 year old. And then, it just caught on. One of those things that's hard to explain. Like how other silly dance songs got insanely popular and played at everyone's weddings - I thinks it's just a combination of lack of good music right now, the use of the Internet, YouTube and timing.
Sorry but this kid has no talent. It's like a 2 year old writing with crayons on paper and someone adding a beat to it. His lyrics make no sense, try listening to his other "songs". What a mess
You people kill me always talking shit about young black boys osng… fuck you dont listen to rap if you dont like it… talking shit while he is getting paid and it aint no more dirtier than that nasty dirty ass porn all over the fucking place and womens asses and big fake ass tits hanging out all over the place and all these perverts downloading porn on the coputers…talkabout that shit… kiss my ass i like it and i will dance my ass off to it… its just music aint nobody raping or molesting no kid or animal in the shit… so get a fucking life!
HOW FUCKIN SICK IS THIS SONG MAN! THE SUPERMAN THING IS JUST WRONG!
DON'T HATE…APPRECIATE!!!!! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HATE ON BLACK MUSIC, IF IT WERE MADONNA WHO RELEASED AN ANNOYING SONG YOU WOULDN'R HAD SAID THAT!!!!
Ok yall need to fuck off because just cuz u dont understand what the hell this song means or what the lyrics talkin about, dont mean u have to say that its terrible or bad. You dont get it? Dont listen to it, as simple as that. Just keep on listening to your own shit.
this song is popular because our society is oozing with crackbabies/people raised by teenaged parents/junkies/dropouts who totally buy into ignorant, unnecessary and useless "music" such as this.
America, you have failed me
SOULJA BOY MAKES GOOD MUSIC AND IS SEXY AT THE SAMETIME BITCHES!
this is how our society rewards young untalented fucks for coming up with idiotic music. well done, america, well done. and perez, dont contradict yourself. your jonas brothers and beth ditto are the same crap, no better than this piece of trash. oh and dont forget, nobody likes you.
that dance is the new macarena…even my memaw knows who that loser is. kids are definitely the ones buying that crapass cd. he is FARRRRR from gansta. BLOODSPORT is gangsta. you guys need to get your heads out of the toilet and realize that Soulja boy is not hip hop. he is a contributor to the DEATH of hip hop as we know it…. I used to love H.E.R.
that song is such crap!!
it is amazing what people think is music nowadays!!
a waste of money!!
by the way his new single "yaah" is fucking horrible!!!!!!!! it makes me worry even more about the music business!
UGH! I HATE SOULJA BOY AND HIS STUPID SONGS! They don't even make sense!
i fucking hate that song
finally someone else
that agrees!
yayyy perez :]
wow i think that song is quite possibly the worst song ive ever heard i want to cry everytime it comes on !
PEREZ, WHY DO YOU WASTE TIME CALLING HIS MUSIC CRAP? YOU ARE HELPING HIM PROMOTE IT EVEN WHEN YOU WIRTE ABOUT IT AND CALL IT CRAP. YOU SAY IT SUCKS BUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD IT DOWN LOAD IT AND THEREFORE SUPPORT IT. 3 MILLION PEOPLE LIKE IT. I WISH I COULD MAKE SUCH A SONG FOR ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW GOOD MUSIC TO BUY AND MAKE ME RICH
what tha fuck is up with the writing on his shades~ How lame, pure crap, rap is trying to hold on for dear life, no originality, samples from real musicians. P. diddy sucks too, crank it up they ass.
once you know the dance to this song you will LIKE it.bitch
