"Crank That" Video Review

In the era of the teenage novelty rapper (see everyone from Lil' Mama and Baby Boy Da Prince to Jibbs and Hurricane Chris) Atlanta's Soulja Boy feels more promising than most. This isn't because he's a great rapper; his 16-bar verses are too brief and nonsensical. Rather, "Crank Dat" has formless though palpable energy that is transmitted via a backing track that is deceptively simple, with cuts and loops of scattered lines constantly folding over themselves and playing perfectly into Soulja's aggressive randomness.
