* GenreTurningPoint: In retrospect, the most noteworthy thing about Soulja Boy was that he was the first artist whose success came about almost entirely via the internet and viral popularity. His formula for success would be followed by a multitude of rappers in the following years, leaving a legacy much larger than his music's critical reputation would suggest.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The music video to "Soulja Boy" was dated even when it came out. By then, [=YouTube=] had already become the main hub for videos and Soulja Boy's baggy clothes were out-of-fashion.

In Georgia however (where he came from), a 67 is an F. D's are 70-73.


* CriticalResearchFailure: In "Report Card", he tells his teacher to throw some D's on his report card, and says he got a 67 in English - which, in most states, ''would'' be a D.

* MostAnnoyingSound: In his mobile game, ''Beef With Soulja?'', moving his avatar around will cause him to either say "this way!" or "that way!" ''every single time'' he is moved. Other actions will make him repeatedly shout his trademark "Soulja!" (natch) or "Draco!" and dying in the game makes him let out a rather annoying "ahhh!!".
