"Make A Soulja Boy Beat!!!!!" Transcription. (ChuckyPuth - ~13th June 2008)
A boy sits in front of his keyboard and teaches viewers how to make a beat like Soulja Boy. Here's a breakdown of his process:
The first step is to pick four notes and make sure to play them with an "annoying, repetitive tone" to get the listener into the song [00:30].
Next, you need a "generic drumbeat" [00:46] and a "repetitive hi-hat" [00:53].
He says the most important part is to include an old song that was popular seven months ago to make a quick buck [01:03].
Finally, you can add words over the track, repeating them over and over again [01:12].
He concludes that if all these steps are followed correctly, you are ready for a record deal [01:17].

how to make a beat like soulja boy [ 00:00:00 ]
Now this is quite interesting. [ 00:00:00 ]
I just found out how Soldier Boy makes his beats. [ 00:00:02 ]
It's a very complex equation, but I think I figured it out, and this is how you do it. [ 00:00:06 ]
The first thing you have to do is take four notes. [ 00:00:10 ]
And when playing these notes, make sure they're being played with an annoying [ 00:00:17 ]
repetitive tone, to really get the listener into your song. [ 00:00:23 ]
After you've chosen your melody line, you need a generic drum beat, like this. [ 00:00:30 ]
After that drum track is laid down, you need a repetitive high hat. [ 00:00:38 ]
And this is the most important part. [ 00:00:41 ]
When you're making this, you got to make sure that you include an old song that was popular like seven months ago and put it somewhere in this new song [ 00:00:50 ]
just so you can make a quick buck. [ 00:00:53 ]
And when your track's finished, just say words over and over again. [ 00:00:57 ]
uh, uh, uh, uh [ 00:01:05 ]
crank that, crank that, soldier, crank that. [ 00:01:08 ]
crank that, crank that, crank that, crank that. [ 00:01:10 ]
I dance, I dance, I dance, I dance, I dance, I dance, I dance, I dance. [ 00:01:14 ]
If you've done all this correctly, you're ready for a record deal. [ 00:01:19 ]
