Tracvks like this combine two of my favorite things about life: random dance crazes that you can descend down YouTube blackholes with and a multitude of beats in one tune. I didn't know "tangin'" was a thing, but apparently this video caught the eye of Schwarz (and a number of others), and while many cracked jokes on some "WTF is this dance?!?!" shit, Schwarz took the rhythm (and grabbed that infectious "TANGIN'!" chant) and channeled it over some breakcore/Bmore club/hardstyle/trap beats. Yes, you read that right. Reminds me of the drill & bass/breakcore scene that a lot of you might not be up on, but it's basically hyper-fast drum & bass. Something about those kicks gets me everytime—probably why I rock with footwork. Anyways, you have to love where inspiration takes you, so big up Schwarz for this one. And if you want to see some tangin' (which appears to be the logical progression from the club scenes in Philly and Newark, where kids were doing the Wu-Tang like there was no tomorrow), check out the videos from Philly's Check Boyz and Dollar Boyz crews after the track.
