The sexual hit “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” uses the term “superman dat ho,” a malicious act involving masturbation. The rapper shills products that he says make him cool, including a Sidekick 3 cell phone (“Sidekick”) and Bathing Ape shoes (“Bapes”). The dance track “Let Me Get ‘Em” includes the sound of cocking guns and talk of a shootout. Whining about the price of fame, he disrespects and threatens “ugly” female fans eager to chitchat on “Yahhh!” (“Get up out my face you doo-doo breath dummy/… Leave me alone, ho, before I have to knock your lights out”). He shows similar contempt for the education system (“Report Card”) and condescends to parents about why their kids fawn over his cultural “movement” (“Don’t Get Mad”). A handful of mild profanities creep into several cuts. “Donk” and “Bootymeat” fixate on girls’ posteriors. The 17-year-old artist fancies himself a gangsta for whom the ladies are “Thirsty.”

Summary Advisory

Lyrics for explicit versions of these lusty, boastful songs appear online, but this disc is far from tame. If teens ask for Soulja Boy, tell’em they can do better.
