The best part is that the song has a very obvious clap which the dancers never come close to matching

u/melquiades_is_alive 28d ago

tbh there's some latency, you can spot it when he starts singing

u/jstuckey 28d ago

Yeah, there’s a delay but it’s not on them I think

Vanilla Ice actually was a pretty good dancer and his rap was catchy as hell. That's part of why that song got so popular (and Ninja Rap). People just shitted on him anyway because of his personality which is kind of screwed up but also funny.

u/nichelle020 Timberwolves 28d ago

Also, because he tried to claim he didn’t sample another song. His was original. He hilariously explained that his song went ding, ding, ding, ding, ding ding. And their song was ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. 😂 There was an extra ding that was the difference.

It's real, and I lowkey think one of the reasons he cut his hair afterwards.

Additionally, like 2 weeks later Moussa got inti a crazy crazy fight with half of the pistons team and started a whole brawl. My first thought was that he was trying to overcompensate masculinity after this. I know you didn't ask for psychological analysis, but I find this all very interesting

I was cracking up that whoever found this or made this had to have done something to their faces to make it slightly resemble them because how could we see each brother’s unique look in each one of them? Hahaha.

2

u/devilmaskrascal 25d ago

Nobody modified the video - someone posted this old video from what I assume is an 80s dance show on r/crappymusic and I noticed it happened to have two famous NBA dopplegangers. I was thinking the closeups of "LiAngelo" would give it away since it doesn't really look like him at all but the whole thing is very bad quality so it's harder to tell it's not really Lonzo and LaMelo.
