If you thought that the lyrics to bubblegum snap rap sensation “Crank That” were harmless teen-slang gibberish like the rest of us clueless old folks, think again. After Maura dug up this blog post detailing Soulja Boy’s “very profane” and “covert lyrics”, a quick visit to the Urban Dictionary revealed more about the origin of “Superman that ho” than either of us probably cared to know. The following is perhaps not safe for work or for your faith in the future of dude/lady relationships:
Superman; When you are mad at your girl for not having sex with you. So when she falls asleep you masturbate and cum on her back. After that, stick the bedsheet on to her back and when she wakes up it’s stuck to the cum and she has a cape like Superman!!!

Which sparked the following exchange:
maura@idolator (3:52:57 PM): i like how that is somehow less offensive than “super soak”
jess@idolator (3:53:29 PM): bukkake* is not more offensive than getting back at your loved one by using semen as rubber cement
jess@idolator (3:53:50 PM): i cant even believe im making these distinctions
jess@idolator (3:53:59 PM): but pop music aimed at junior high students in 2007 is a crazy place
jess@idolator (3:55:08 PM): are you posting about this?
maura@idolator (3:55:37 PM): no you can go ahead because clearly you are the guy who knows what he’s talking about
jess@idolator (3:55:57 PM): …
“Crank” Kid Soulja Boy Very Profane In Covert Lyrics [Playahata.com]
* Actually I don’t know if that’s what “supersoak that ho” means, but it probably says a lot about me that it’s what I immediately assumed.
Check out this bullshit answer Soulja Boy gave when XXL asked him the meaning of the “supersoak that ho” line:
Supersoak, that’s just the poppin’ of the toes – you stand on your toes real quick. That’s another song I’m coming out with later – “Supersoak.” It’s real crazy. But that’s called the Roosevelt. We had a partner in school, his name was Roosevelt, and he used to get behind the girl to pop like that. We’d be like, “supersoak that.” That’s where it came from.
C’mon, man, that shit is about bukkake. Everyone knows it.
Isn’t a much more reasonable explanation that it’s a direction for the accompanying dance; i.e., hold your arms out like you’re flying, like Superman? Makes more sense with the other references/commands, like the “crank that RoboCop” line.
Suddenly I’m a little worried about our Google referrals.
Then again we’ve already gotten “how do you supersoak a ho?”
NY News dude compares Soulja Boy to Kraftwerk “for his synthetic ingenuity” and “for his minimalism” … Philip Glass!!!
