I came here to rage about comments like "Losing intelligence after watching this" but in all honesty after watching the videos #1 I didn't like the music #2 I realized I don't really care because I think new "hip hop" is stupid #3 Dammit I'm not even 30 yet but my dad was right. 

In retrospect that comment makes me sound a little more ignorant than I intended. Probably should have said something like "WARNING: these videos may not be your cup of tea."

The very first time I saw it I thought maybe he had watched a few I dream of Jeannie episodes earlier in the day.

This thread has made me feel so much better for having no idea what he was doing, but settling for thinking he was doing some weird version of the robot.

Those kids are out there having fun, dabbing. Glad to see it.

Hip Hop started out as party/dance music. Music to get a gathering of people dancing and having fun. Those dudes remind me of me and my boys last decade. Used to be in the clubs with our tall tees leaning and rocking lol. We've grown up, and like most grown ups, you think the current generations type of music is wack and trash.

Only "Dabbin" I do is biscuts in gravy.

 

I only "Hit dem folks" if they are holding up the buffet line.

Man I laughed way too hard over this

[CPantherKing]

A little more practice and I will have it down.

[The Lobo]

That looks like a blast. Just kids having fun. You think they'd mind a pasty ass white fella like myself gettin in there and showing off the running man? That's all I can do oh and the A-town stomp with the superman like cam did 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I saw the vids then looked at Cams dance again. I liked it the other day but I like it more now.  

 

Oh and Skip Bayless is a big time fugtard. I don't watch him or Stephen A band forgot how big of a douche he is.  

[frash.exe]

Honestly thought he was doing the technoviking

So with all this talk of dancing I thought I would educate myself on what exactly is occurring after Cam finds pay dancefloor, resulting in 6 points.  From the first time I witnessed it, I thought he was bowing and adding a bit of his own personal flare to it.  And the "other" part of his dance?  The first time I saw it was at the home opener this year (it may have happened before then but I'm unaware of it), and I thought it was a nod to current NBA MVP Steph Curry, who was in attendance.  I was wrong. On both counts. 

Cam is "dabbin'" then adding a hint "hit dem folks".  Below you'll find videos of each.

WARNING:  your intelligence will suffer after watching these.

Dabbin

Hit Dem Folks

You have no idea how much I hate people that use reddit vernacular on this site.
