Aziz discovered, via YouTube, the latest dance craze taking over NYC, called: Chicken Noodle Soup. Apparently it originated in Harlem, but we did notice an "official" Queens remix as well. Above is a report on the craze, and here are a ton of videos of people doing the dance.

 

Be warned, that song will stick in your head for days.

Correction: Summer craze in New York.  The rest of the country thinks it's very stupid.  It's a rip-off of the shake and snap in Atlanta.

 

New York is desperate these days.

It's no down-the-way.

 

 

Correction: Summer craze in New York. 

 

correct yourself, who said it wasn't? read "latest dance craze taking over NYC" & the thread header again.

 

The rest of the country thinks it's very stupid. 

 

thats why there are hundreds of threads and vids, those people are all stoopid.

 

It's a rip-off of the shake and snap in Atlanta.

 

like those kids ever even heard of atlanta. wait, even if like laffy taffy was original genius anyway.  :laugh: 

 

New York is desperate these days.

 

totally agree, this dance just proves its done for!

 

 

correct yourself, who said it wasn't? read "latest dance craze taking over NYC" & the thread header again.

 

In New York is just an iteration.

 

thats why there are hundreds of threads and vids, those people are all stoopid.

 

Well, there are hundreds of threads and vids about Bush as well.  Do the math.

 

like those kids ever even heard of atlanta. wait, even if like laffy taffy was original genius anyway. 

 

Right.  Like most black New Yorkers (hell, blacks period) moving to Atlanta.  Even New York radio knows Atlanta is "hot" right now that they had to create a knock-off of the chickenhead St Louis dance to get into it.

 

totally agree, this dance just proves its done for!

 

Glad we agree on something, sarcastically or not.

In New York is just an iteration.

 

its sure no correction.

 

 

Well, there are hundreds of threads and vids about Bush as well.  Do the math.

 

no, the math says there are many, many more than that for bush. i am speaking for the rest of the country on this. iteration.  :wink:

first it's an atlanta dance? now st. louis? come back when you've make up your mind, heh. better yet, why not let's leave it alone as harlem's chicken soup dance? it's just kids stuff.

 

 

Glad we agree on something, sarcastically or not.

 

sure, nyc is totally desperate, over and done for. i'll just turn out the lights now that everyone must have moved to atlanta. here i thought it was the poconos.

 

 

Lmao Colday is worse than me when it comes to provoking stuff.

^Provoke?

 

I just say what I gotta say :).

 

So...let's continue...

 

its sure no correction.

 

Never said it was.  Just something to be said of.

 

no, the math says there are many, many more than that for bush. i am speaking for the rest of the country on this. iteration.  :wink: 

 

At least you are honest :).

 

first it's an atlanta dance? now st. louis? come back when you've make up your mind, heh. better yet, why not let's leave it alone as harlem's chicken soup dance? it's just kids stuff.

 

Atlanta and St Louis have very similar dances in the "hip hop realm."  So the Chicken Noodle Soup thing is a continuation on the ignorant dances of the South and Pseudo-South.  Think of it like an Outkast movie...minus the talent.

 

sure, nyc is totally desperate, over and done for. i'll just turn out the lights now that everyone must have moved to atlanta. here i thought it was the poconos.

 

I'm speaking hip hop, not "global influence/politics/media/population/*insert UrbanOhio topic here*

 

Hell, even according to New Yawk rapper Nas, "hip hop is dead."

minus the talent? whoa you are so harsh cdm. the difference is the ny dance got more geared toward little kids or took off more with them than older teens and young adults with that older regional stuff. just listen again, the song itself is a freakin black/pr raffi song.  :laugh:

 

also, a bubblegum hiphop/pop song and dance doesn't foretell a thing. everyone carps about hip-hop's demise or pending demise, that stuff has been said about it since day one. not gonna happen!  :mrgreen:

Well, the Atlanta and St Louis dances are also geared towards kids + freaky adults so it isn't really something new.  When Nas said "hip hop" is dead, he meant for New York, not the state of hip-hop in general.  As with any genre, hip hop has evolved into various regional sects and New York has finally "fallen off" of the "hip hop throne" by the Mouf of the South, Atlanta.  Granted, New York will always have a presence in the music but it took a southern sprawler to knock off and diversify the NY-Los Angeles rap scene.

 

That's one thing I'll give Atlanta credit for, being unique...though terrifying as well...

not the same. the others have crossover appeal. teens would play laffy, but they wont go near the soup. thats kids stuff.

 

don't be so fast to count out the big city home of hiphop. regional popularity is more like a blip and in a bigger sense a confirmation of general popularity of the genre.

 

speaking of, if anything that southern hiphop binnis like say outkast is a ripoff of the old bone thugs style, just spoken in a twang.

 

lastly, hmm. well you are certainly a party of one in calling atlanta unique.

You'd be surprised.

 

don't be so fast to count out the big city home of hiphop. regional popularity is more like a blip and in a bigger sense a confirmation of general popularity of the genre.

 

I'm not counting it out.  I'm seeing evolution.

 

speaking of, if anything that southern hiphop binnis like say outkast is a ripoff of the old bone thugs style, just spoken in a twang.

 

No one in their right mind would call Outkast a "ripoff" of Bone.  Bone is a ripoff of Chicago's famous speed-tongue.  Outkast and Bone are certainly both unique, though I don't know what that has to do with New York producing moronic dances, even for dances.

 

lastly, hmm. well you are certainly a party of one in calling atlanta unique.

 

Not talking about the city.  Talking about hip hop music only.

i would be surprised? well i suppose it could be that soup goes over differently in the columbus' and atlantas.

 

the thing is bone was unique at the time w/ the speedy rap. outkast came later with it. just saying that aint unique to atlanta. you mention evolution, call it that if you like. underground historic chicago is not on that map, but again if you like call it evolution.

 

lastly, if you want to talk about influential regional influence today i'd put virginia beach way ahead of atlanta (via pharrell & timbaland).

 

what do you know -- a timely nytimes article today on this:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/07/arts/music/07sann.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

 

main quote:

"nowadays Southern hip-hop rules, though New York listeners haven’t fully embraced it."

 

 

i would be surprised? well i suppose it could be that soup goes over differently in the columbus' and atlantas.

 

Talking about Harlem.

 

the thing is bone was unique at the time w/ the speedy rap. outkast came later with it. just saying that aint unique to atlanta. you mention evolution, call it that if you like. underground historic chicago is not on that map, but again if you like call it evolution.

 

Uh...Outkast and Bone came out around the same time.  However, Bone was NOT unique in "speedy rap" as the Chicago tongue (Crucial Konflict, etc) had it before Bone.  Atlanta is "unique" these days for an infusion of gospel and hip hop...or in other cases, children rhymes with sexual references. 

 

lastly, if you want to talk about influential regional influence today i'd put virginia beach way ahead of atlanta (via pharrell & timbaland).

 

Producers have long been in the game and Atlanta is no exception.  Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, Babyface's LaFace Records, etc have put Atlanta's "hip hop" credentials far ahead of Hampton Roads, though they have produced Missy Elliott, Timbaland, and sure, the Neptunes and Teddy Riley.

 

As for the main quote, New Yorkers have somewhat embraced it, as their radio stations have gone in full-force to play southern hip hop.  New Yorkers are in denial as the South has finally topped the "Meccas" of Hip Hop, New York and Los Angeles.  Though it makes sense, as the South has the largest black population in the country.  If anything, the "Chicken Noodle Soup" is a reaction to an already irritated populace.

I've seen it done way better..

 

 

 

Rap is a mutation of Reggae..a lot of reggae artists sing fast...so thats really where it would have originated if you wanna get technical but Twista (chicago) is definitely known for being the fastest.

Well, if you REALLY want to get technical, it all started with a drum pattern out of current-day Angola ;).

i would be surprised? well i suppose it could be that soup goes over differently in the columbus' and atlantas.

 

Talking about Harlem.

 

so was i above. its little kids stuff there. no surprises.

bone dk from outkast or chicago back then. you can say they all came up independently via the zeitgeist if you want. ok.

 

lastly, if you want to talk about influential regional influence today i'd put virginia beach way ahead of atlanta (via pharrell & timbaland).

hey , you forgot gnarls!  :laugh:  still, you are talking history up there and as far as producers go w/ those two alone vb is way ahead right now at the moment.

somewhat embraced or as the article said, nyers have not yet embaced it radio play or not. also, what you say now is regarding the south in general no particular place. its all split up now, a testment to hiphop popularity and endurance. so of course thats a good thing.

 

since the black population of the south is all over, dont count out the nyc connection for whatever comes along next as it has a more consolidated population nexus and that is what you need for true creativity and what the geographically large south will never have. it's the same for many other genres of music too. for example thats why nashville rules country and austin c&w. every once in awhile you get a dwight yoakam out of columbus or a little scene somewhere, but you never count out the big boys for that.

 

 

hey , you forgot gnarls!    still, you are talking history up there and as far as producers go w/ those two alone vb is way ahead right now at the moment.

 

No.  Jermaine Dupri set the standard FOR Timbaland and Pharrell.  Hell, if it wasn't for Jermaine's contribution to help Timbaland during the '96 era, there would BE no Timbaland (and in turn, Pharrell making beats for Teddy Riley).  And let's not even forget the legacy of LaFace Records.

 

So still, Atlanta dominates historically over Hampton Roads (though Hampton Roads itself has great musical history).

 

somewhat embraced or as the article said, nyers have not yet embaced it radio play or not. also, what you say now is regarding the south in general no particular place. its all split up now, a testment to hiphop popularity and endurance. so of course thats a good thing.

 

Well, New York "hip hop" wasn't "embraced" initially in the South, Midwest, and West Coast (thus, the differentiations in style) but then was soon loved by all.  The South will eventually "get" to New Yorkers (as it has no choice) so I think it's great that everybody is "shining."

The problem with New York "rap" is that everybody wants to be top dog.  While creatively that is great, wholistically, it sucks.  The South will never be idolized as a "mecca" as the South itself is quite large (Texas to VA Beach) but on a whole it has produced countless sub-genres of hip hop, creative artists (such as Outkast and Scarface), and will never have the "beef" wars of the East and West, due to the numerous population centers (unless Atlanta starts "beef" with Houston or God-forbid Miami).

 

Regarding country, while Nashville has historically been the center of country, we all know on a whole, the South is basically country's backbone with exceptions (as you say) from the Midwest.  Nashville is a "showpiece."  New York, however, for hip hop has been losing that title as of recent. 

 

Globalization of hip hop is just the beginning.

Well, if you REALLY want to get technical, it all started with a drum pattern out of current-day Angola ;).

 

Um, you meant New Orleans.

Country Blues started at Angola State Prison. I got plenty of text over at the LSU archive to back me on that. :-P

No, I meant Angola.  New Orleans was just a layover ;).

Then see my prison remark above.

Besides, you meant Senegal.  :-)

oh no jd cant be ignored. despite what dre might say (ha), agree he was a standard setter, but he mostly just guests today and if you want to be historical hes from north carolina but whatev. history aside, at this moment vb is on top for producers w/ those two.

not entirely. hiphop was 100% embraced by many including myself the minute the message, etc came out. not older folks tho, they stayed with the funk/disco. you are right, i guess it was a bit undergound for awhile after that, at least until run-dmc, etc. brought it mainstream. i guess it depends on where you were and your age at that time. rest assured it was very big day one in a place like lorain (no surprise given the direct bronx>pr musical hookups), but i forget that was an unusual cultural setting for the midwest. yes the south is sure running with hiphop now, but will it really fully get to ny'ers in particular before ny gets back with something? la did it earlier so maybe so. we are not there yet, but time will tell.

down maybe, but never out. don't read last rites yet, even w/ the ongoing rise of global hiphop. outside of the populace itself, business-wise nyc has it even more tied up. as long as the record biz and the money are here, nyc will always be the main showcase and style arbiter for pop music. bottom line is you can produce all the great music you like, but generally you'll be on myspace or standing on the corner of peachtree street trying to sell your CD w/o nyc-related backing. without the financial institutions, record companies, local venues, distribution, pr, magazines, and bet/mtv/vh1's as an artist you can forget the bigtime. the 500lb gorilla will always be big at the table.

 

i am glad that article came up in such a timely manner, it was a pretty good one. i enjoyed this chat too, its a great topic, from silly dances to serious. no question hiphop is a big part of our lives & an urban concern.

 

 

Then see my prison remark above.

Besides, you meant Senegal.  :-)

 

Well, Senegal had a direct influence on reggae and I suppose New Orleans jazz (?), but Angola's drum patterns were an influence on heavy bass and such today.

Right now for producers?  Sure.  I'm not going to argue that.  But I will still say that Atlanta as a whole is far more influential right now than Virginia Beach (with Organized Noise, Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, and the various artists, companies, trends,  etc).

Trust me, New York will "embrace" it soon enough, if not already.  The South is here to stay, they have the confidence, the various sub-genres, and are basically not New York.  Thus, New York better get ready.

While you won't foolishly see me deny New York's recording stature (Hit Factory in Queens; various rec. co. in Manhattan, etc), I will say that Los Angeles and Miami are also equally important (as far as distribution, corporations, etc) and that Atlanta is building its own "self-sustaining" reliability.  So really, hip hop IS branching into other cities and while New York AND Los Angeles won't be diminished for a while, they better start paying attention.

I watched the "Chicken Noodle Soup" dance a while back on YouTube and I gotta say that is the stupidest shit I have ever seen.

Then you need to YouTube a Young Joc video.  It's even worse.

true enough except for one caveat. southeast florida/miami is considered a sixth borough of ny.   :laugh:

Pshh.

The west coast is dead. It already has diminished. The only thing the west coast has going for itself is The Game. The underground hiphop scene in LA is nothing like Atlanta, Detroit or New York.

Ah, but you forget The Bay so soon.  And Dr. Dre.  And Ice Cube/Dogg Pound/Snoop's "comebacks."  Trust me, the West will be back and probably team up with the South (as both are actually quite similar).

true enough except for one caveat. southeast florida/miami is considered a sixth borough of ny.   :laugh:

cuba? got that covered. union city is havana on the hudson. unstoppable.

 

good idea - la and the south ought to combine forces to try to make a dent. in fact now's their big chance to grab the reins, they just locked up fitty.  :wink:

 

 

Fitty will just buy his way out of it.

 

Then make a diss track towards NYPD.
