The MV’s story is really interesting.

Still, it’s low budget.

Even so, it gives off good vibes, doesn’t it? The booty girls popping out of cardboard boxes even make the old man crack a smile.

It’s a performance that practically screams twerk.

Fantastic! The pinnacle of hip-shaking.

Shake Dat Ass feat. AISHAAnarchy

You can tell when you put it into Japanese, right? The lyrics are super fun, too.

ANARCHY, AISHA, and HABANERO POSSE, who produced the track, really feel like consummate pros, and I think that’s what seals the deal.

I want people to dance casually to this one.

In the latter half, you hear horns and a lead called a hoover, but normally you’d never fire them off that rapidly.

Just like Diplo’s “Express Yourself,” it blew my mind and made me chuckle at the same time.

Boldly sampling Major Lazer’s hard-hitting sound “Pon De Floor.” Once Beyoncé’s vocals are laid over it, the track suddenly comes across as evoking a dignified, powerful female image.

I said “sampling,” but it’s basically a straight lift—the instrumental is pretty much intact, with her vocals placed right on top.

#TWERKITBusta Rhymes

You could say Busta Rhymes is also a key figure in this scene.

Since the word “twerk” is right there in the title, it’s definitely made for that—in fact, that’s the theme! If you’re going to dance, switching up how you catch the rhythm between 1/1 and 1/2 could add dynamics and make it look cool, don’t you think?

I wouldn’t go so far as to say, “If BLACKPINK’s Lisa dances, everyone will come running!” but seeing a charismatic figure who’s an icon among teens embrace it makes me think the number of followers will surely grow from here.

That said, it’s not something you can easily copy, right? There’s nothing vulgar about it at all—it’s just downright cool!

Super BassNicki Minaj

A relatively early-career hit by Nicki Minaj, notable for its sparkling, diamond-like synth melody and a lead synth more commonly used in trance and progressive house—unusual for this kind of genre.

Her visuals are completely different from how they are now, aren’t they? The beat of this track also has a tempo that suits it well.

WorkRihanna, Drake

Rihanna incorporating dance in the music video became a hot topic, but with her it doesn’t feel out of place at all.

The back-and-forth between the two after the party in the second half is very sexy.

Drake is quite the charmer too.

The point is that overseas, this kind of thing is casually incorporated during parties.
