"Yahhh! / Report Card" on YouTube |
"Yahhh!" (also known as "Yahhh Bitch Yahhh") is the third single from American rapper Soulja Boy's studio album souljaboytellem.com . It features Arab.
According to Stereogum , "Yahhh!" is “a spirited ode to the joy of yelling in people’s faces”. [1] Vice defined it a "gibberish filled" song, where Soulja Boy "incoherently yells “Yahh trick yahhhh…uhblablaublabla.” [2]
On January 8, 2008, the video for "Yahhh!" premiered on BET's Access Granted and on Yahoo! Music. [3] [4] The video parodies people trying to get Soulja Boy's autograph, including Duane Chapman of Dog the Bounty Hunter , an imitation of Hillary Clinton and an imitation of Britney Spears, who appears to be intoxicated. The video also featured a stop-motion animated puppet that interacted with the cast.
After the main "Yahhh!" video, a short clip of Soulja Boy's song "Report Card" plays and features Soulja Boy, Arab and others dancing to the song at a school. The video ends with Soulja Boy stating that he "made straight As," and he also tells kids to stay in school. [5]
The song received extremely negative reviews from critics. Alex Fletcher of Digital Spy gave the song one star out of five, and wrote, "Based around Soulja boy and pal Arab screaming incomprehensible gibberish, the repeated line "Yahhh, Trick, Yahhh!" is more irritating than a life's supply of itching powder, while the bargain bucket synth soundtrack sounds like an old Nokia ringtone." [6] Jeff Weiss of LA Weekly wrote that it was a "legitimate attempt to dethrone 'My Humps' for its ignominious distinction as the most dumbest song ever recorded." [7]
