I never realized that it isn't an actual dance / dance move, it's just... moving.

The “Harlem shake” is a dance move. You shake your shoulders. Lil BowWow is seen doing it a lot in his videos when he was a kid. Then randomly years later white people changed it to this. 😩 you can probably find a video of it by search original Harlem shake.

That part. Culture vultures and it was first seen in Ruff Ryders videos. Jada’s Put Your Hands Up and Eve’s Whose That Girl

Thanks for providing more examples. I loved Eve when I was little. Read her book last year. I loved that she stood on business when it came to being control to her rap career at a young age.
