"'''Yahhh!'''" (also known as "'''Yahhh Bitch Yahhh'''") is the third [[single (music)|single]] from American rapper [[Soulja Boy]]'s [[studio album]] ''[[souljaboytellem.com]]''. It features Arab.
==Composition==
According to ''[[Stereogum]]'', "Yahhh!" is “a spirited ode to the joy of yelling in people’s faces”.<ref>https://www.stereogum.com/2217490/the-number-ones-soulja-boys-crank-that-soulja-boy/columns/the-number-ones/</ref> ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]'' defined it a "gibberish filled" song, where Soulja Boy "incoherently yells “Yahh trick yahhhh…uhblablaublabla.”<ref>https://www.vice.com/en/article/soulja-boy-is-the-most-influential-rapper-of-his-generation/</ref>
==Music video==
On January 8, 2008, the video for "Yahhh!" premiered on [[BET]]'s Access Granted and on [[Yahoo! Music]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=11 July 2008 |title=Access Granted: Soulja Boy (Yahh) Episode Summary on TV.com |url=http://www.tv.com/access-granted/soulja-boy-yahh/episode/1184147/summary.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629063522/http://www.tv.com/access-granted/soulja-boy-yahh/episode/1184147/summary.html |archive-date=29 June 2011 |access-date=1 March 2024 |website=tv.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Zisook |first=Brian “Z” |date=2018-02-12 |title=Soulja Boy Makes History, New Single "Yahhh!"

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.<ref>{{Citation|title=Soulja Boy Tell'em - Yahhh! / Report Card ft.

==Critical reception==
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]]."<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a92447/soulja-boy-ft-arab-yahhh.html Soulja Boy ft. Arab: 'Yahhh!'] [[Digital Spy]]</ref> 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."<ref>[http://www.laweekly.com/music/music/record-reviews-soulja-boy-beach-house-cadence-weapon/18550/ RECORD REVIEWS: Soulja Boy, Beach House, Cadence Weapon] ''[[LA Weekly]]''</ref>
