While funny and perhaps fun, I do understand some of the disdain that Harlem has for the new dance videos. By carrying the same name as the original Harlem shake, it comes off as a mockery - a "coonification", if you will - of it's culture. Honestly, it's a bit disrespectful. Call it "The Shake", but leave Harlem out of; They don't want any part of this randomness. See the video below.
(By the way, when you search for Harlem Shake on youtube the new one has made the original one basically vanish; it's VERY difficult to find outside of the G.Dep music video. Smh.)
Who cares new Harlem shake way better
ReplyDeleteYou think so? I LOVE the energy of the new harlem shake, but it's more random-ness than an actual dance.
Deletethe "new" harlem shake isn't even from harlem.
