The teenage phenom that is Soulja Boy has proved to be a dominant force in hip-hop this year. The 17 year-old rapper's runaway smash "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" has just entered its 5th week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100. His debut album, Souljaboytellem.com, arrived at No.4 on the Billboard Albums chart with 117,300 units, thanks to the popularity of "Crank That."
Other hip-hop songs in the Hot 100 include: Kanye West's "Stronger" (No. 2) and "Good Life" with T-Pain (No. 10), Timbaland's "The Way I Are" featuring Keri Hilson (No. 4), and Jay-Z's "Blue Magic" (No. 55).

Soulja Boy Still do n his thang!!!!
We dont Superman No Moe we jus Spiderman DAT hOE
is it just me or is that Crank DAt Souljah track fukin WAKKK?
This just goes to show you, that just because something is popular does not mean it’s good.
Soulja Boy is garbage. And “Crank that Soulja Boy” is the worst piece of crap i have ever heard.
they still cant stop cranking that soulja boy!!!!!!!!!! plus he’s SEXY=)
I dont dislike Soulja boy…I did when he came into the game but now i like him. he has that UNORIGINAL sound but he isnt like other unoriginal rappers.
Also Kanyes Goodlife at 10, and 50’s Ayo technology at 11
damn either u hate 50 so much or you are run by by def jam. you mention jay-z at number 55 but u dont mention 50cent at 11. damn talk about ‘the source mag’ back with benzino. might as well jus take shots at 50 if u wana, its so clear u aint gonna write any good about him. and u have the nerve to say get rich or die tryin aint a classic.!!
The “Ayo Technology” thing was an honest omission. When have I said anything about Get Rich or Die Tryin’? I bought a copy of that album the day it dropped, so why would I discredit it?
Oh, and I didn’t say anything about Fabolous having two songs in the Hot 100, Gorilla Zoe being at No.45, Joc being at No.49, etc. You get the point? it’s just a round-up not a complete rundown of the Hot 100. For that you can always visit: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp?f=The+Billboard+Hot+100&pageNumber=Top+1-10&g=Singles
ummmm.. Henry do you actually like Get Rich Or Die Tryin? in my opinion its not bad, it just kinda sucks, and in my opinion is one of the most overratted albums of all time, ihey dezzy dez: It isn’t a classic, lol nd o ya Soulja bnoy is garbage, i thoiught nelly and chingy were the two worst mc’s until this piece of crap came, “:Crank That” in my opinion, has to be in the top 10 worst rap songs of all time on anybody’s list (but worst on mine) (yes worse than “it’s goin down”)
Hmmm…i dont know…the wackest two songs i ever heard are ‘Candy Shop’ and ‘Ayo Technology’…i mean “she-she-she wants it,she-she-she know that……” my stomach turns everytime i hear it…and lemme say this : everyone has his own taste,but 50 is wack…
@Shiban: GRODT is by far 50’s best work ever. I don’t consider it a classic, only a handful of albums like Paid In Full and It Takes a Nation of Millionss… are classics in my book.
o.. whoof thought you actually considered it a classic… lol
Hi soulja boy. how are you doing? i’m doing fine. i love your soulja boy and soulja girl video. i love doing the dance,its fun to do to me i think. i am just crazy over your new c.d. that just came out in october of this year.i am 14 years old,well you might as well say i’m going to be 15,becouse my birthday is december,13,1992. i was born in new jersey. i don’t know which part though.
i love hip hop and r&b music.i know i’m white,but who cares i just love hip hop and r&b music.
i just came to say that don’t worry what the others say or said about you. i think your good,sweet,and nice. you can dance to all the songs i think. you realy did it real good with the soulja boy and the soulja girl dances.
real quick just don’t worry what the others say about you. there just some haters. there just mad becouse they can’t do it right or at all okay. peace out. shortie.
see how commercial fans are…. this girl actually thjinks souljah boy is reading this… omg… LMAO!!!!
see how commercial fans are…. this girl actually thinks souljah boy is reading this… omg… LMAO!!!!
it’s not just you g fresh, soulja boy is horrible
dat girl chelsey is stupid as hell. if u are gonna try to talk to soulja boy, at least be smart enough to do it on his myspace or his website but not here retard!
Get Rich or die Tryin’ was the hottest piece of the millinium, i definitly bought it, and make sure evrything on that was good and well written. This Solja boy phenomenon evrybody is crakin aroun’ is straight garbage, i can’t believe, he even got sign up, but let him do his this thang. As Kanye says “Does anybody makes real sh*t anymore? so that’s and the poll that we at people.
People who love Solja boy are straight garbage, jus like him. because y’all don’t have any musical taste…
good comment on soulja boy jeffster but sayin get rich or die tryin was well written? do u mean good lrics or good hooks? cuz it sure aint have good lyrics (nd most of em didnt even have good hooks…. i hate p.i.m.p. embarrasement of a song!!!!)
i love you soulja boy i love you are so fine i even got you on my bebo page!

IFI WERE TO MEET SOUJA BOY … MAN I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO

Yeah! you right Shiban, i think the hooks basically made the album! but still @ the same time, it had some good lyrics, you know…
If Collipark Records don’t fire this soldja boy, with his dumb a*s songz, i’ll never buy any product from them anymore!!!
The original song Soulja Boy is worst song ever hands down. If you listen closely, it’s not even a song, just a bunch a BAD audio clips mashed together..
“LIVE IN THE PAST YOU DIE IN THE PAST”
THAT CRANK SONG IS HEAT…YOU GUYS MUST BE HERMITS WHO BEAT YOUR DICK TO TRIBE CALLED QUEST. THE CHICKS LOVE IT—ITS NOTHING HOTTER IN THE CLUB. AND THIS COMES FROM A LYRICAL—GOLDEN AGE EMCEE. GRIP A GRIP YALL

Some of you people need to learn…if it’s a popular DANCE song, it’s not rap. He’s nowhere near the title fo MC. His stuff is just horrible beats tossed together with stale lyrics, and its HIP HOP not RAP! If you want to listen to some good rap, listen to Brother Ali
good song
hey soulj a boy i love i love u leave all them other girl alone and com mess wit me in detroit

YOU ARE THE HIPHOP SINGER THERE COULD BE. I HOPE THAT I CAN MEAT YOU ONE DAY. I LUV YOU I HOPE YOU CAN COME TO DURHAM, NC AND SEE ME.FORGET ALL THOSE OTHER GIRLS COME AND GET ME INSTED. BYE BO
Soulja Boy’s Crank That is the worst hip hop track I have ever heard in my life. Everytime it plays it makes me want to vomit. All it is is a bunch of audio clips pasted together. Theres not even a beat to that whack a$$ S**t. Garbage!

THAT SONG CRANK DAT SOULJA BOY SONG ROX
soulja boy u is so fine
Boy you kids take the corporate cock as far in your mouth as you can don’t you. They say this is what you like and that’s just fine with you isn’t it. You know rap was about social change. Fighting the system. Now the system owns rap….and you. Rap should have always moved forward and progressed to better things. But if you can tell me that soulja boy is better than Tupac,Ice Cube, Dr Dre, and Old Snoop then maybe I’m just not hearing it. These guys risked it all to let the people know that they can fight back against oppression.
Now we’re cool with it because we get Ipods and a bunch of white kids will dance to crank that. I hate this world. And if you listen to this song I hate you. With all of my heart.
Soulja boy is FREAKIN HOT!! Crank that is the best song I’ve ever herd. I MEAN HHOOTT!!
I must be higher than I thought… Did I just read “[Soulja Boy's] lyrics are good”???
Look up the actual lyrics. They don’t even rhyme. To call Soulja Boy, Chamillionaire, Yung Joc, All the Lil’s, Young Jeezy, etc etc etc Hip hop or even rap is a friggin joke. Vanilla Ice had better lyrics (and better beats come to think of it). As a general rule, if it’s in heavy rotation on BET, MTV or Z-100, it sucks. Period. God, I miss the early-to-mid-90’s….
i be walkin it out so dat means im his soulja gurl if u gots a prob gurls kum to baltimore and rock and roll

“I LOVE SOULJA BOY’S MUSIC”
“THAT SONG CRANK DAT SOULJA BOY SONG ROX”
“crank dat is off the hook”
What in the hell is wrong with you people? This song is absurd and completely retarded. Have you looked at the lyrics? I thought everybody looked at the youtube video to make fun of it but then I learn people actually LIKE this song? Then I heard it on the radio! I’m speechless. HAVE YOU READ THE ACTUAL LYRICS???? This guy gets a record deal? My cat could have come up with better lyrics. All he did is realize the “aawwwww YOUUUU” has a good pump-you-up effect and then made up three and a half minutes of BS to go in between. The fact this is NUMBER ONE on the billboard charts is proof that the music industry is hopelessly screwed. This song should be marketed to 8 year olds not played on real music radio stations. There is no logic or being rational with the people who like it, because they don’t care “cuz he’s hot” what a bunch of EMBICILES
