"Bitch I Look Like Goku"

About

“Bitch I Look Like Goku” is an exploitable catchphrase and lyrical reference to Soulja Boy’s 2010 hip hop single “Goku,” a musical tribute to the protagonist character in the popular Japanese manga / anime series Dragon Ball Z.

Origin

Written and performed by Soulja Boy, the song “Goku” was released via his Twitter account on July 23rd, 2010. The unofficial single contained several references to characters portrayed in the DBZ series:

- Bitch I look like Goku (repeated many times)
- Bitch I look like Gohan, smokin’ up that Marijuana
- Super Saiyan Swagger
- I don’t give a fuck because I’m swaggin’ to the maximum

Spread

The story of Soulja Boy’s release was soon reported by Geekosystem on the same day. The article link spread quickly throughout other DBZ-related discussion forums, most notably on DaizenshuuEX forum where users began poking fun at his song by superimposing the lyrics to screenshots and video clips from Dragon Ball, as well as photoshopping pictures of Soulja Boy with a Super Saiyan hairdo.
