Ice and Tattoos?

There are a lot of ways to interpret Soulja Boy’s comments as reported in this article. I don’t see the intelligence behind it. I don’t see it as a “deep” comment. I think it’s pure stupidity and, added to the shallow lyricism and simplistic beats in his music, makes me have zero respect for him as an artist. As a businessman, I think it’s impressive that he was successful with an inferior product, kinda like Starbucks. But I hope he retires with his “Crank That” profits and returns to obscurity.

Wow, okay. I had no idea that the lyrics were “Superman that HO.”, and I certainly had no idea what it meant to superman a ho. I am right now cringing at the fact that my 9-year-old daughter and her friends loved this song and learned the dance and played on the porch for hours with it playing on the radio in the background.

(I thought they were saying “…ohhhh!” as a way to cover another word, instead of “…hoooooooo!” CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE.)

It’s a pretty empty song, just describing different dance moves and showing off your expensive clothes in the night club. And supersoaking, which isn’t a pleasant thought. It was first described as a song for kids to dance to because they could keep up with all the dances, but the lyrics – not for kids.
