Aww another one from ATL!We doing it big these days!I love this song and I see Omarion on there doing his thing.Always sexy.Love the song!!

Thats true…..he had thousands of people listening to his song and doing the dance before the was even signed.

Not too many people get signed AFTER they are already popular.

I felt late as hell after seeing all those videos on youtube

@75… I MADE PLENTY OF SENSE. ITS THE TRUTH. MOST OF ALL TEENS CUSS. CAN U DO ME A FAVOR… STAY IN SCHOOL, FOOL!!

this is a dance song yall…lighten the hell up its not that serious

I cant even hate Soulja boy has got himself a catchy song but why the f*ck do he be yellin you all the time? i dont get…
But hey its like 2 million versions of this song… like crank that supersoak, forrest gump, martin lawrence, heartattack,spiderman,x-men
ITS GETTING OUTTA CONTROL LOL

“Crank dat Soulja Boy”….”Pop lock and drop”…”Walk it out”….”Laffy Taffy”,…
Boy I think they must like this down south Clown music…..

im sure everybody heard of this way before beyonce did it at her concert. i know ya’ll cant go one post without mention her. anyways. my kids love this mess. anyone under the age of 21 would but this, like so many other garbage ass songs out now is just pure foolishness. i mean its for the kiddies , the babies, the chillins. i cant even understand what the hell he’s saying. i guess because im older than 21 but not pass 30 i dont have the sense to comprehend it

DAMN THEY WAS GETTIN IT….THEY HAD ME CRUNK!!!!! LOVE IT

BOW WOW & OMARION WAS GETTIN IT TO!!!

DOIN ALL THAT JUMPIN AROUND WILL MAKE UR HEAD HURT

People keep saying what is so wrong with a party song like Crank Dat Souljah Boy because we need something to dance to. The problem is there are too many songs like souljah boy and not enough of the more conscious songs. It’s that simple but Souljah Boy like many other artist i.e J-Kwon will be a one hit wonder. I’m 20 and far from old, and I totally agree with what many posters have said. I feel like years ago there was a balance between the bullshit music and the good music. Now that balance does not exist. I mean Sean Kingston is a complete joke. He is the male version of Rihanna in my opinion and trust me that is not a good thing. Sean Kingston and Rihanna can get all kinds of play from black people with shitty vocals but artists like Tamia can’t get any play whatsoever. There is a difference between being simply a singer and an artist and many of the people in the music industry fall into the singer category. Almost anyone can sing and be called a singer American Idol is a perfect example of this but there are a handful of people out there right now that can be considered artists.

@ 71 Mixed Ma it’s hard to consider someones opinion when what they type shows an apparent diffuclty in mastering subject-verb agreement. What you typed was a bunch of gibberish. Come back when you can type coherently and grammatically correct. Then people will take what you wrote seriously

I think it’s cute.

79 i feel you. i mean its not soulja boy’s fault that so many other hits with the same concept came out before him && influenced his song. just like walk it out, 2 step, cupid shuffle and all that.. this is whats in right now. plus it is still summer time so i do agree with how this song would only appeal to the teenage crowd. i would think thats what he aimed for with this song.

in conclusion, i would like to thank Rocsi and Terrence for mentioning how they aint even gunna attempt to do the dance when the video came out. lol if you know you cant get down to it, then stand to the side cus you WILL look ridiculous.

dude is def. from chicago…first time i heard his other song i completely understood why people say we sound country…but yea this and all the other ones are heavily rotated in the chi, only one i dont like is crank dat roosevelt (dance is completely stupid)

Kids NEED to be listening to “Superman dat hoe”?

WTF?

IMO kids need to be listening to uplifting and encouraging music. I don’t think Obama got where he is today by Supermanin dem hoes or leanin, or rockin, snappin, two steppin, poppin, droppin, etc…

BTW, remember Gospel music?

Some ppl are takin this waaayyyyyy too seriously. If u don’t like it, CUT IT OFF! All rap music is not for everybody and all rap music is different. After all of the consciousness, sometimes I need somethin to light to groove to. As far as “coonish music” comin from Alabama, there are artist such as Rich Boy and Ruben Studdard who sing and rap music with some substance and not just Alabama but the south in general.

There are good artist such as Outkast, UGK, TLC, 112, Jagged Edge, Monica. So before clownin the south….do your research and u will find that half of the music that comes from this region of the country is in your CD changer.

BTW….FYI…

Beyonce did do this dance in her show in Orlando, FL. The same show she fell onstage. It on Youtube and I will admit, she was clownin wit it.

You people say they just want to have fun, but can’t we have fun and dance AND hear something positive at the same time?

instead they (whoever dances to this stuff in clubs) have to dance to trashy stupid lyrics all the time.

i am from the atl and they play this mess on the radio 24/7. instead of making songs on myspace and youtube he needs to be trying to graduate and not become another black male drop out static, b/c i can bet you he is not in school or getting tutored.
this song is not for kids and a kid should not be rapping it talking about hoes and crap. this is why our black youth are the most lost and left behind in the world b/c some of us do not see anything wrong with these types of songs.

LMAO @ #18 ME 2.

another thing i wanna know is how in the hell do you “superman a hoe” & how do you “supersoak a hoe” like wtf does that mean.

RADIO HAS DONE TO THE DOGS…THIS IS JUST MORE CATCHY BULLSHIT AS USUAL….THE TEENAGERS SHOULD FIND THIS CUTE, BUT IF U ARE OVER THE AGE OF 25 AND THIS IS YOUR JAM……UH…..NO WORDS!

Cant know his hustle BUT

He looks a damn fool with that outfit and glasses in the gym. He wrote on them in white out.. and he needs speech class

Once again, cant knock him for makin money legally

lol @ 76 he ain’t from ATL, he’s from Mississippi.

The song isn’t talkin’ about anything at all…but the dance is madd fun. lol

He reminds me of flav. What the hell is a Yule? What part of the dance is that? lol

DOES HE HAVE A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT! WHAT DOES “WA” ME ROLE MEAN?

DOES HE HAVE A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT? WHAT DOES “WA” ME ROLE MEAN?

When I first heard the song, I thought it was stupid as hell…Now, I still think it’s stupid as hell, but I gotta admit, the dance is my Cardio….lol….that shyt burns calories like crazy…

And to whoever said that you’ll get talked about in the clubs doing this dance, I don’t know shorty, but they are playing this track in ALL clubs and people are doing it, so if anything YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU might be the one looking crazy turning your nose up at people at the club when it’s all about having fun!

Loosing up people, all rap isn’t suppose to be serious….Don’t get me wrong Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Common are in my top dope MC list, but sometimes you just gotta have fun yall….

……I can’t beleive some of the things I’ve read….

I come back to find people supporting this garbage and giving reasons on why little 3rd graders should be “superman-ing that hoe.”

I couldn’t give a damn if you aint got some corny ass song to dance to at your party. If you think everybody who despises this song is a “homebody” than you can go kill yourself too because when it comes down to it, you still have kids who can remember every last “hoe” used in this song but cant read for shit. I can’t fathom parents who would let their kids listen to songs or songs that are similar.

For whoever said songs like “Bed” are worst than this make my fukkin skin crawl. How dare you call this garbage music. I am offended on behalf of real artists, dancers, and performers who can’t make it in mainstream music without conforming to some “coonish” stereotype. I rather you get your party fix off of “Get Me Bodied” than “Crank” anything. Soulja Boy and others like him are capitalist and jump on the latest trend to make money off of it. Hell yeah it’s a hustle, but not the kind where there’s any work involved.

You got (real) artists out here bustin their asses for deals and some airtime but can’t get any because of this garbage all over the airways. I swear I hear something getting “Cranked”, “Youd”, or “Walked” every 7 minutes on the radio. Seriously. Don’t let this shit corrupt you. Teaching kids improper grammar and just being wild. CALM YOUR ASSES DOWN. Every jam aint got to be like this. If we can’t make a party song without demeaning women (or our race), cursing, and other things than Music is in a sad state of emergency. Be a leader and not a follower. Set your own trends and stop being a groupie. Be yourself and make people want to be like you.

Make a statement! get the “Crank That Knowledge Boy” T-Shirt!

This is Homey the Clown type music……White People love this, they love to see Black People Cooning and buffooning, “let me see you dance boy”….walk it out.!!!

All Ya’ll that seriously don’t understand what he’s saying…

its…

“Soulja Boy off in this hoe”

“Watch me crank it watch me roll”

“Watch me crank that soulja boy then superman that hoe”

“Now watch me yua”

I have no clue what “yua” means but the song is catchy. I can’t do the dance but w/e.

R.K.J.ville3000

You make me feel bad for liking the song :p
But I get your point.
I don’t condone the foul language and I agree, this ISN’T what music isn’t supposed to be.

Ugh

**this isn’t what music’s supposed to be**

@104

It’s a derivative of “Yuay” a phrase very popular in Atlanta in the 90s…it’s like “Beyam”….whatever that shit still is stupid and I’m wastin my time tryna explain ebonics.

This vid makes fun of the real song.
http://videos.onsmash.com/v/gCwn41qxHPUA3Cpm

i’m sorry but i wished i lived in the time of martin luther king jr., malcolm, and the rest. back when getting an education was cool and we fought our way to get into the system. back when talent was a must and the supremes were breaking it down. now the culture just seems to lack heart & soul. aghh this world is nuts

in other words, i hate the song

I’m from Atlanta and I personally feel the need to apologize to anyone else in the U.S. that hears this song.

I don’t even know how to “crank” anything but a car, but it sounds painful. “Now wat’ me doooooo it!” -Dead-

I do “lol” when he says “I got me some Bathing Apes!”
And am I the only one that thinks he’s too damn tall to be hopping around like that?

In the words of Charlie Murphay (!) “We GOT to do better!”

if you think this is stupid go on youtube and search for “crank dat lion king”…yes they did take it there

MISS THANG? I CANT POSSIBLY IMAGINE WHAT I TYPED WRONG OR WHATEVER YOU REFERRED TO BUT I GUESS IM SUPPOSE TO TYPE TO YOU OR POST A COMMENT AS IF IM WRITING AN ESSAY FOR A COLLEGE PROFESSOR HUH? LOL I DONT NEED ANYONE TO TAKE MY COMMENT INTO CONSIDERATION SEEING THAT NO MATTER WHAT ANY OF US THING SOULJA BOY STILL DOING BIG THINGS LOL SO YOU TYPING LIKE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE SENSE AINT AFFECTING ME. ITS A PARTY AND DANCE SONG THAT PEOPLE TAKING UP THE ASS AND GETTING ANGRY OVER. KIDS BEEN CUSSING WAY BEFORE THIS SONG AND WOULD BE SAYING HOE IF THE SONG WAS NEVER MADE. HATE IT? TURN OFF YOUR RADIO OR TURN THE STATION. BE MAD AT ME BUT IM STILL CRANKN THAT SOULJA BOY LOL

@113 AMEN SISTER/BROTHER… THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING.

i prefer crank dat forrest gump

“run forrest run”

Hold on one damn minute…did anybody else notice Bow Wow and Omarion in this video?

Its a nice beat and its gets the club jumping thats the main objective of this song. Yall just mad cause you cannot do the dance…lol…j/p !!!! Have a nice evening everyone!!!

#19…..u can’t! lalalaolahhah

“Crank Dat School System” UUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuu

@ # 17 i know i was saying the same thing

To Princezz

thanks for the teenage point of you. BUT YOU ARE THE MAIN EXAMPLE!! of people that listen to this shit. Please keep your ass in school. Maybe if you turn off the souljha boy and pay attention in English class i would have to decipher (look it up if you do not know what it means) what the hell you wrote. PICK UP A DAMN BOOK!

The best part is when he crank dat roosevelt, that dance is crazy.

so with those shades on soulja boy def. looks like Flava Flav’s son. but hes cute w/o the shades. This would’ve been a fun song when i was in high school! i kinda like it :p And hot damn Omarion looks FINE in that video. He looks better w/ age!

Im not really into this kind of music. I would expect teenager to listen to this though. I could care less about the state of Hip Hop . There are more important issues going on in the world. I dont see the big fuss about this song . It’s not that serious.

Read a book
read a book
read a mutha fuckin book….

I am 17 years old; so here is my perspective on things. The souja boy dance is not too far a stretch from the electric slide or the cotton eye joe; it’s just a fun dance and people dance right???? unless y’all are robots or something.

I see people on here want to talk about positive music, but nothing in music or entertainment for that matter is positive. Someone even said that they were glad that they were brought up in the days of biggie and tupac. Are you effin serious???? So biggie and tupac were the artists you looked to for positive and conscious lyrical content? damn shame.

This video/song is not that big of an issue y’all are making it out to be.

I LUV THIS SONG

@ 127 I could care less about the state of Hip Hop . There are more important issues going on in the world. I don’t see the big fuss about this song . It’s not that serious.

^^^Exactly!

The state of music period is not a big deal that is why I laugh when someone says hip hop is dead or rnb is dead. secular music is secular music period. it’s all the same crap whether it is common or dem franchise boys…..it’s secular music.

I’m 15 and this song is a piece of steaming garbage! Real music where are you? Come find me please! Agree with R.K.J.VILLE 3000 100%

laughing at some of yall…
i find it so funny that ppl want to be so politically correct all the damn time when they probably are the prime example of the shit they “preach” about. Some people just talk all over themselves. Its a song, get over it. People are acting as if he’s putting us 10 years back. People go around doing ignorant shit everyday. This boy makes a dance song and people want to talk negativity about him as if it’s really that deep. It’s funny that music topics bring about more input than topics about issues that are going on in the black community. Damn sad man….But hey…let’s boycot songs like this. Thats whats REALLY important right? If you can be influenced by music that ppl put out, you are a sad sad case. Instead of talking about the musicians..talk about yourself. As for the person who referred to people out of Mississippi and other southern states as “coons”…im going to need you to step away from the computer and get a book. Read about some of that “coon heritage” because I’m pretty sure your grand parents parents are from there!

wow he finally came out with a video after 0598345834545285 years….he is wrong for wearin them sunglasses making him look like young flav….alot of people gonna do this dance regardless..even if the song sucks…it is just how it is now

BOTTOM LINE THIS SHIT SUCKS!!!!

NOW GO READ A DICTIONARY!!!!!

I feel like everybody hatin on him and he tryna do somethin he like i love me some soulja boy i know all his songs and this song aint that new this song been out for like 3 months just kinda underground but y yall hatin talkin bout i dont know nothin he sayin when i know all the words so i feel that yall hatin cause he doin somethin and makin money ooff of it cause its some people outt here that like it now if beyonce would have came out wit this song everybody except me would be all like oh thats off the chain im goin to buy the new album or thats my dance stop hatin dang.

i cant lie
dis is my shit
ringtone status lol
and me n my sister b killin it

you people need to see the big picture. This type of crap is not taking us anywhere.

people should stop trying to put on a front for the net…i wish people would stop preaching that same damn sermon.”music aint like it used to be”,”all southern music is like this”,blah blah blah.stfu.its getting old and no matter how much you protest it,its not going to change.so calm down,pick up your old 2pac or biggie album,put it in your cd player,put your headphones on and hear your “real” music…

regardless of what this boy could have said,it would’ve been negativity surrounded it. he could’ve made a song saying “stay in school,dont do drugs” somebody would’ve complained about him wearing BAPE….get over this shit

@129

i agree about the 2pac and biggie thing…im not going to lie,i listen to both but it kills me when people use them as a reference to what they consider “real music” as if these dudes didnt rap about killing “niggas” and “bitches”……i’ve been saying the same thing since 2pac died,half of his fans are fakes who only started supporting him after his death,when every appointed him as “the greatest rapper” ever…

if you’re going to bash this kid,let it be because of something logical not because he created a dance that you dont like……no,im not in FULL support of soulja boy because i dont agree with the language he uses and how much he talks about guns but this DANCE is just something WE down here in the south have been doing for months now….

first off, i don’t know why everyone is hatin’. okay u may have a point. He really isn’t saying anything but it’s a dance song. we like the electric slide so why can’t we like this. it’s hottt to me. if it wasn’t a dance song it would be sooo stupid. everything that he says in the song requires movement and a specific dance. get with it!!

While we are “cranking dat superman hoe, and walking it out” we are being pass by
every race of people from Koreans to Mexicans…….It is that damn serious.
Crank some Motherf**king sense.!!!!!

This is not good…..Not good at all, Just when I thought we’ve survived the “snap with it” the pop lock and drop its…and lets not forget ay bay bay.

Yes…. it can get old to some but I would rather hear and watch this because it doesnt promote violence at all. Enjoying life is what its all about, CRANK THAT SOULJA BOY.

@#72 YES, IN FACT BEE ALWAYS DOES THIS LIL DANCE. SOULJA BOY HAS BEEN HER OPENING ACT QUITE OFTEN, I LIKE THE DANCE, ITS GROOVY, AND BOUT TIME BEE GOT A NEW DANCE, LOL, CUZ SHE WAS KILLIN THE HELL OUT OF THE “JOSEPHINE JOHNNY”, LOL, BUT WE WILL PROLLY SEE HER CUBAN SHUFFLING IT IN A MINUTE THOUGH, LOL

LOL is all im gonna say…he does look like a young flava flav in some scenes tho *shudders*

Co-sign #14

my goddaughter got me hooked on this one lol…

i swear i love atlanta…and stop hating ya’ll (at least kids gettin off their lazy butts and dancing without bumping and grinding on each other)…this song might be the one safe bet for the school dance
btw it’s for the kids…ur grown @ss want substance go listen to outkast…

he reminds me of flava flav

IM SO SICK OF THIS STUFF

I hope this young man graduated from high school, but from watching this video I can tell that he hasn’t.
