Probably half a dozen of those 1,219,114 views are from me.

Some notes:
--The little clay guy reminds me of the monster in Fred Schnieder's "Monster" video
--This caused me to buy the album, which is really like 14 ringtones right in a row, a pretty amazing/ridiculous snap exercise with very little rapping.
--The "Bugulahbahbugulahbaaah" part is totally the Great Cornholio. Or the pop record Mike Patton thought Peeping Tom would be.
--Totally better than "Crank That"
--I hope this takes off so 15 year old kids are yelling "YAHHH!" at everyone in the mall
--I hope this takes off so I can do it at karaoke someday.
--YAHHH!

YAHHH! TRICK YAHHHH!

The Reverend, Sunday, 20 January 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link

I dunno, all this really has to it is the hook, which you could also say about "Crank That", but you'd be wrong.

The Reverend, Sunday, 20 January 2008 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link

I like the song from the other new Soulja Boy video better:

Soulja Boy always brings in Arab to do the actual rapping parts.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 21 January 2008 00:55 (sixteen years ago) link

tonight at dinner:

my brother: "soulja boy can i get your autograph?"
me: "YAAAAH!"
aunt: "you know, speaking of soldier boy, i just found out what superman means and it's really nasty"

TRICK YAH

J0rdan S., Monday, 21 January 2008 01:51 (sixteen years ago) link

WHY DO PEOPLE CONTINUE TO THINK SUPERMAN MEANS THAT IN THAT SONG FUCK

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 21 January 2008 05:32 (sixteen years ago) link

And why would anyone could think "super soak that ho" could have any other meaning than a playful water gun fight? I used to super soak hos all the time, and it was definitely platonic.

dabug, Monday, 21 January 2008 05:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Why would a rapper sing about something as passive-aggressive as "the superman" in a party song?

A dance-rap song is meant to match the energy of sex--MAYBE EVEN PLAYED DURING SEX, DOY--and thus a background to "supersoaking." Not for the plaintive, quiet shame of jerking off on to some girl's back while she sleeps. That's what Iron And Wine is for.

I can't fucking believe I have to keep having this argument.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 21 January 2008 06:14 (sixteen years ago) link

YABADAHYAAAHHH

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 21 January 2008 06:20 (sixteen years ago) link

Wow, there are a lot of variations on what "Superman" means. (The way I heard it, it was, uh, more of a supersoak COMPLEMENT. But it still sounds like one of those things that kids figure out on their own giggling in the hallway after-the-fact.)

dabug, Monday, 21 January 2008 06:30 (sixteen years ago) link

(I thought Iron and Wine was for cuddling that never really goes anywhere?)

dabug, Monday, 21 January 2008 06:31 (sixteen years ago) link

so his partner is named a-rab (thats how it was pronounced in the video)?

filthy dylan, Monday, 21 January 2008 06:34 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah. Like how asshole college radio DJs pronounced the Cure song in the xenophobic 80s!

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 21 January 2008 06:39 (sixteen years ago) link

they remind me so much of dj jazzy jeff and the fresh prince its unbelievable

Ok, you probably didn't get this from the Cure's issue of Rock'n'Roll Comics. But if you did, you get a high five.

Indie rock can be a little sexist in passive-agressive ways. I'm just exaggerating that fact to make a joke that's not very good.

"What it is, right, is the media think they can control what sells. They think if they say Kanye West or Lil' Wayne or 50 Cent is the best rapper, everybody else will think they're the best rapper. But it don't work like that. If the public buys three million Soulja Boy records and the media's saying Soulja Boy's garbage, something don't add up."

Music video

The music video was Directed by Matt Alonzo and shot at Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's estate in Atlanta, Georgia. The video shows his struggles from the bottom to the top of the music industry, from waking up in Mississipi and only having potato chips to having his own segway and a bed so large he has to hop to get out.
