Let me take a break from my local city norm, to get back to class. For those who STILL think that the Harlem Shake is just that dance where some jump around in the first scene and the next scene is all jump around, underwater and going out before lenten season, you must be mistaken. That “previous” Harlem Shake dance, in my view was just a mutated version that was just well………messed up. These dudes in my view probably never knew the real Harlem Shake! This past week: Someone or a group of folks IN New York FINALLY did the dance that should have been, and it was done with an improvement!
Now for those, who yet again who don’t know the gist of it, check out this video. Mad respect to those who got the dance right for once. I’m just saying. And plus, that “previous” Harlem Shake can now OFFICIALLY BE BURIED!
Respect the game, young bucks and wannabes! Just saying.
And while were at it, listen to Melissa Harris-Perry on why the Harlem Shake has a definite meaning and history of African-American Music History.
