Over the past summer, the latest hip hop dance craze on the internet and in the clubs was “Crank Dat” (Soulja Boy) by Soulja Boy himself. With his album set to be released October 2nd, the single has taken the hip hop world by storm. What I found most interesting about all of this soulja boy hype was the number of knockoffs from his Crank dat Soulja Boy dance routine. I’m really not a fan of his music, but I’ll admit to dancing to his stuff when half drunk and out to have a good time.
Here are several links to knockoff “Crank Dat” dances for your viewing pleasure. Im pretty sure there are many more, but this is what I searched on myspace the past couple minutes.

Crank dat Spiderman
Crank dat Batman
Crank dat Ryu
Crank dat Iceman
Crank dat Yank
Crank dat Yank/Forrest Gump
Crank dat Lion King
Crank dat 360
Regardless of what anyone thinks, no one can deny that this is the hip hop dance craze and song of the year so far. I can’t think of any other artist who had this much influence with a single and a dance to go along with it. Now that his album is in stores, we’ll finally see if he’s just another one hit wonder or a legitimate face in the hip hop world.
I have honestly never heard of this guy. It goes to show you I don’t listen to the radio much nor watch MTV at all so it’s obvious I have no idea who some people are. I agree though, a catchy beat is a catchy beat. It doesn’t matter who the singer/creator is or what they do or are involved in. I dislike Britney Spears to infinite amounts but she has some songs I really dig. Music is music.
