A Brief History of the Harlem Shake

Whilst the now larger-than-life EDM producer Baauer was in middle school, a trend was sweeping the nation in 2001 and depending on your age and/or disposition you may have even heard of it. That trend was the Harlem Shake.

Introduced to the world as part of the song ‘Let’s Get it’ performed by rappers G-Dep, Black Robb, and P-Diddy, the Harlem Shake became popular in the same vein of many of the era’s great dances. Despite its proliferation, the Harlem Shake fell by the wayside and lied dormant for over a decade, until the aforementioned Baauer brought it back from the dead with a hit of the same name. The song, appearing online in May of 2012 incorporates the vocal sample “Then do the Harlem Shake” from the song ‘Miller Time’ by the Plastic Little’s in reference to the original dance. So with that, enjoy a brief (and uninterrupted) history of the Harlem Shake ending with the greatest incarnation yet, the Globesville Harlem Shake.
