Crank That (Soulja Boy) was the 2007 debut single by American rapper Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, released when he was still a teenager recording at home. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the first true internet-era viral hits, powered by a simple instructional dance, the Superman move, and endless YouTube tutorials. The song's chant and snap beat made it a ringtone-era phenomenon, and it still resurfaces in throwback dance challenges, sports edits and nostalgic memes nearly two decades later.

The famous Crank That hook from Soulja Boy's 2007 hit single, with the chant and beat creators use for dance challenges, throwback edits and hype moments.
This is the instantly recognisable hook from Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's breakout hit, built around the chanted "Crank that Soulja Boy" line and the bouncy snap beat that launched a thousand dances. It sounds playful and cocky, with a simple marching-band stomp underneath the call-and-response vocals. Dropped into a video, it acts like a starter pistol for movement: viewers expect the Superman dance, a goofy transition, or a confident strut the moment the beat kicks in.
