- [divider]4[/divider]“Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” by Silento
It’s starting to feel like a current theme of this list is that some of the artists on here have taken from pervious artists who were able to execute better than what the successor could. Sometimes the original isn’t always better and if you have an a new way of looking at something old then it’s important to bring that up instead of just flat out copying it like Silento did.
Soulja Boy automatically came to mind even when I first heard this. I somewhat admire dance songs when they create an original dance move to a song which is what used to happen but as Silento proves you can just get everyone to rock with the oldies.
Silento wants you to Whip then Nae Nae, Stanky leg, Crank Dat, Break your legs, Bop, Yule, Superman, Duff…There’s about 50+ extra dance moves he wants people to do within the less then 4 minute timeframe of this song. I bet for those who do follow, it’s a good work out. All he does is name a bunch of dance moves which are only popular because of Vine.
If Silento had made up his own dance move to do, I would have at least given him credit for that. I get confused doing the cha cha slide but good news for Silento this’ll be the song played in clubs, at birthdays, weddings and various other social functions for at least the next five years. It probably took him less than an hour to come up with that.
