Do You Know the Soulja Boy Dance?

I've noticed that in general, rap songs that have dance moves associated with them end up being more popular - Lean Back, Pop, Lock and Drop it, 1,2 Step, and others. One of the newest hip-hop dance songs on the scene is Soulja Boy's - "Crank That (Soulja Boy)", which returned to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Crank That" (wp) has a dance associated with it, some might call it snap music, and a quick youtube search of "Soulja Boy dance" returns 5,400 video results of people demonstrating their version of the dance. I personally know of two athletic teams who have choreographed and performed dances based on the song as well. I'll leave with you some dance videos, so you'll be able to bust out the Soulja Boy dance at the next frat party. Cheers.

Personally, it's an annoying song and dance -it's come to represent all that has gone with hip hop: cookie-cutter and crappy.

sweet video:

willow:

shut up you guys its a good song get over it.
maybe you just over play it yourself.
if you think the song is annoying...then you should hear yourselves complain about it...geezz..if you dont like it why are you on this site?

cece:

Love the song and the dance but these girls need to sit down. Can We say RHYTHYM.... Oh, guess not!

Calvin:

yo, this song is pretty wack. but the biggest problem with it is the mainstream acceptance it's getting. Do you know what 'superman that ho' means? If not, you need to look it up on urban dictionary. it's about as misogynistic of a song as you're gonna find, but it's so popular that even so-called feminists like ellen degeneres are doing the dance.

Sonic:
