3	* ChorusOnlySong: Most of his songs, but most especially "Bird Walk".
4	* EpicRiff: "I Pray" has a really cool guitar solo that continues in the background throughout the entire song ''for no reason at all''.
5	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Not something he intentionally did, but still: In 2018, Soulja Boy let the copyright to his website expire, and opted not to renew it. This led to the sex toy company Bad Dragon snatching it up, and as a result, [[https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/04/soulja-boy-is-hawking-fantasy-sexy-toys-on-twitter.html Soulja Boy unintentionally found himself as the spokesman for dragon dildos on Twitter]].
6	* 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.
7	* HilariousInHindsight: In "Anime", he mentions "Pikachu Diamonds". A few years later, Young Thug would release a song named "Picacho", which had him claim that his diamonds said "Pikachu".
8	* MemeticMutation:
9	** "[[YouExclamation YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!]]"
10	** And in certain circles: '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4Tt_cKHEF0 GITDA FUKK OFF MAH PAIJ MAHN]].'''
11	** "WE GOT DA MUNCHIES!"
12	** This is how "Crank That" became such a hit. Soulja Boy owes his career to Memetic Mutation.
13	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pus8y2owSrU GAMER CHAIR]]
14	** '' [[Franchise/DragonBall UUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, BITCH I LOOK LIKE GOKU!!!]]''
15	** "I'm so fresh you can suck my nuts. I'm so fresh you can suck my nuts ([[SwagRap sa-wag]]!). I'm so fresh you can suck my nuts..."
16	** "[[Music/{{Migos}} Quavo]] say he want some beef with me...Quavo..." Really, all of "Beef," just for being so incompetent as a diss track.
17	** After his end-of-2018 Breakfast Club interview, "DRAAAAAAKE?!"
18	** The very first line of "Kiss Me Thru the Phone", being "BABY", became used in tandem with pictures of {{gonk}}y cartoon babies, starting with Patrick Star from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.
19	%%* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: He got away with What's Hannenin'. Seriously listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV28YP3c5Ng this]]
20	* OvershadowedByControversy: It's almost impossible to come across meaningful discussion of Soulja Boy nowadays without somebody having the need to rag on him for his failed attempt at making a bootleg video game console.
21	* SoBadItsGood:
22	** Depending on the listener, especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcJAWHhks6Q "Anime"]].
23	** And "Goku". "Lookin' like Gohan/Smokin' up dat marijuana."
24	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Soulja Girl lifts its riff from [[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} "Linus and Lucy"]] of all things.
25	* 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.
26	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" was a huge dance fad, but the song itself isn't clean and it's one of his ''tamest'' songs. It likely helps that the lyrics are hard to understand.
