Happy Birthday to Soulja Boy (formerly Soulja Boy Tell 'Em)!

"Crank That (Soulja Boy)" is a truly iconic piece of 2000s pop culture that I hold near and dear to my heart. I first learned about this song at football practice my sophomore year when I was grounded for a shitty situation I got myself into on 9/2/07. At the time, I was barred from the internet, and some of my friends were talking about this song and dance. I didn't believe it was a real thing. Oh boi, was Dozo wrong.

​Needless to say, like all of America, my school caught a case of "Crank That" fever. Along with Lil Jon's "Get Low," this was a MUST PLAY at school dances in the 2007-08 school year. There are videos of a young 15-year-old Dozah doing the Crank That, but sadly, they've been lost to history. Happy 32nd Birthday Mr. DeAndre Cortez Way!!! I hope you get plenty of kisses thru the phone and IRL! I keep that Pretty Boy Swag going to this day!
