Thread: The real meaning behind Souljah Boy's "Superman"

I had no idea some of the meaning behind this song!

I'd honestly never really paid attention to the words. I just thought it was a silly stupid song (with a silly stupid dance).. until I was sent the following in an email! :

Just FYI for those of you who have young children or work with the youth. I was actually listening to the TJMS when Bro. Kirk Franklin was talking about this. It was almost as if he (a grown man) had trouble actually trying to put into word the meaning as not to be "as offensive" as it really is.

I wanted to pass this information on, I didn't know if anyone else was as behind on things as I was. Thanks to Tom Joyner's show this morning with Kirk Franklin I was enlightened. Kirk Franklin said he did not let his children listen to the song Souljah boy because of the words and the meaning of Superman.

Superman is when a guy cums/ejaculates on a girl's back and puts a sheet on her back. When she wakes in the morning and stands up, the sheet is stuck to her back (like a cape) , you have officially supermanned that hoe. "Watch Me crank dat Souljah boy now superman dat hoe." My mouth is still hung open with shock - I had no idea.

It pays to know what the kids are listening to and singing.

Hmp, learn something new everyday. I've had a strong dislike of that song every since it began being played EVERYWHERE.

Yeah, I was like when I first found out what that meant, too.

The truth of the matter is that a lot of the songs that are out right now (especially dirtay south rap) have this same kind of slang in it. They let it play on the radio because it's cryptic and, if you don't know what the terms mean, they can get by without censoring it.

Just another example of why mainstream hip-hop makes me f'cking sick.

I agree.

And I'm sorry, but the song was garbage as it is.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.. your little dance takes on a whole NEW meaning now doesn't it! (Hey check out the new smilie!)

The artist himself is denying that this is true....
