Soulja Boy ft. Arab: 'Yahhh!'
Self-styled hip-hop sensation DeAndre Ramone Way - a.k.a. Soulja Boy - looked like a one-hit wonder when he landed at number two with 'Crank That (Soulja Boy)' at the end of last year. Popular with second-rate footballers, YouTube-obsessed teens and ringtone companies, it managed to infiltrate the nation's consciousness despite having one glaringly obvious flaw: it was totally awful! Unfortunately, Soulja has no intention of leaving us alone and is back with - impossible as it seems - an even worse single.

Based around Soulja and pal Arab screaming incomprehensible gibberish, the repeated line "Yahhh, Trick, Yahhh!" is more irritating than a life's supply or itching powder, while the bargain bucket synth soundtrack sounds like an old Nokia ringtone. However, perhaps more worrying than these musical atrocities are the lyrical venom and aggression of the Chicago-born teen. The typically uninspired chorus ("Get out my face! Get out my face! Get out my face!") may have an innocent enough message, but it's delivered in the unpleasant manner of a seething Rottweiler. Truly abysmal stuff, that will - fingers crossed - be the last we hear from Soulja.

This 'song' is not music. It serves more as a collection of inane sounds. For this 'song' to perform well in the charts would be an insult to all the artist who really have to work hard to achieve. Soulja Boy: Not very easy on the eye and worse on the ears. TERRIBLE!
