"Crank That" is a very barebones song, with the only melodic instrument being a steel drum and some pulses accompanied by a single piano note. This makes it really easy to mash the song up with other songs, and in fact it is fairly easy to completely recreate the song in FL Studio, as it only used default presets from that DAW. Because of this, mashups involving "Crank That" will usually have the steel drums altered to play the melody of whatever it's mashed up with. An FL template for the song can be found in the description of this video.

This song was already a popular mashup source on Soundcloud before GiIvaSunner was created, and its use carried from there into Season 1. As with many Season 1 rap memes, it eventually fell out of use due to being seen as a cliché meme and too easy to use. However, in Season 4 Episode 2 it was revived through references to the video "dat boi!!!!" by ZimoNitrome, after that source was the focus of Dat (Soulja) Boi Day.
