Soulja Boy is celebrating his 36th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper-actor-business man Soulja Boy (Crank That, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 36th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Way, a cultural icon

Born DeAndre Cortez Way in Chicago on July 28, 1990, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Way's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a very charming man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little DeAndre hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Soulja Boy as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 36.

Happy Birthday, DeAndre, you're the best!
