Soulja Boy - My how fast they've grown! It may be hard to believe but several of today's brightest stars were born in the 90s. That still might sound young but these stars are growing before our eyes, perhaps a little faster than we'd like. For instance, Soulja Boy, the head of the '90s Babies class was only 16 when his self-produced "Crank That" topped the charts for seven non-consecutive weeks back in 2007. Now the once bright-eyed teen is fighting off drug charges in Georgia at age 21. Although he's not the exemplary model for youthful fame, here are some of the other 90s babies. (Photo: Robb D.
