From https://www.africanbites.com/afang-soupspinach-and-okazi-leaves/
..."Afang Soup is of Nigerian originโ€“a much-celebrated recipe from the efik ethnic group in the southern part of Nigeria โ€“and often served at ceremonial occasions such as weddings, child birth and to honored guests. It has spread its wings throughout Nigeria and has been embraced in neighboring countries.โ€...

Based on that quote, I think the commenter meant that the first girl in this video compilation (who is White) dances like Nigerians.

From what I can gather via Google search, ekpankukwor is a Nigerian porridge. I think this comment has the same meaning as #3, i.e. This woman dances like (and as well as) Nigerians.

Except for the spelling of the word "sh-t", these lyrics are given as they are found on that website.

****
EXPLANATIONS FOR ONE WORD AND ONE SAYING IN THAT SONG
1. "Sh-t is getting real"
From https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/shit-just-got-real/
"WHAT DOES SH-T* JUST GOT REAL MEAN?
The phrase sh-t* just got real is used when a situation has escalated. It can be used dramatically in serious scenariosโ€”when someone responds aggressively or when the reality of some matter is fully felt or underwayโ€”or in a more humorous one, as ironic commentary on a minor annoyance.

[...]

Sh-t*, here, means any โ€œthingโ€ or โ€œstuff,โ€ (which is what it has meant since the 1930s). Getting real, or โ€œserious,โ€ draws on long-running slang senses of real for โ€œauthenticโ€ (e.g., Get real!, real deal, or the real thing).โ€...
-snip-
To add to that explanation of that (probably African American originated) saying, in the context of Lord Sky's "Corona Virus" song, "sh-t is getting real" means that Lord Sky and/or other people may have thought that Covid-19 (coronavirus) was something like the flu, an ailment that was relatively minor. However, when Lord Sky and/or others realized how dangerous coronavirus is (perhaps because it struck close to home), then "sh-t got real.

**
2. "Ewo"
From https://sugabellyrocks.com/2013/03/10-essential-igbo-phrases-that-are-not-kedu.html
"LITERAL GRAMMATICAL BREAKDOWN:
Ewo โ€“ Exclamation of sadness / unpleasant surprise / pity => Direct equivalent of Eyaaa!

FIGURATIVE MEANING:
Oh no!

WHEN TO USE IT:
Anything bad happens; You donโ€™t give a sh-t* but you need to look like you care.

EXAMPLE:
I canโ€™t connect to the Internet! My life is ruined!

RESPONSE:
Ewoooooo!!!!!! *****Look Sympathetic*****

SHOWCASE VIDEO: Red Rat - Story Of How I Got My Name (247HH Exclusive)



RedRatMusic, Jul 27, 2015

Music Bed Produced By: Tha Hydrox

Introduction produced By: Mike Jaxx and Tha Hydrox
-snip-
Here's a paraphrased synopsis of that video:
"Red Rat" said that someone he knew gave him that name because when he was younger he was thin and looked like a rat and the "red" is what his skin color is called in Jamaica. Red Rat also said that in Jamaica people aren't called by their "government names", but are given nicknames. If you don't like the nickname you are given, they might give you one that is worse. So Red Rat said he just "ran with it" (went along with that nickname.)

I searched online & found this quote about Red Rat's stage name: https://welcometojamrockreggaecruise.com/red-rat/
"โ€œYo... You [skin] red and you look like a rat!โ€ In 1996 Wallace Wilson was about to emerge on the International stage as one of Jamaicaโ€™s most versatile, innovative and exciting performers, when he heeded then label mate General Degreeโ€™s point-blank observation and the name Red Rat was born."...

Wilson was born in Saint Ann's Bay, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica.[1]

Wilson's father was the guitarist of Byron Lee & the Dragonaires, and two of his older brothers were also professional musicians.[1]

Red Rat's debut album, Oh, No.. It's Red Rat (1997), featured songs such as "Shelly Ann", "Dwayne", "Tight-up Skirt", "Cruise" (featured in the movie The Big Hit), and "Big Man, Little Yute". It became one of the best selling records from Greensleeves Records.โ€...

Excerpt #2
From https://welcometojamrockreggaecruise.com/red-rat/
"Red Rat
โ€œYo... You [skin] red and you look like a rat!โ€ In 1996 Wallace Wilson was about to emerge on the International stage as one of Jamaicaโ€™s most versatile, innovative and exciting performers, when he heeded then label mate General Degreeโ€™s point-blank observation and the name Red Rat was born.

[...]

Sadly, in 2007, Red Ratโ€™s father passed unexpectedly and Red Rat took a short break from the music scene. During this time it allowed him to reflect on life itself, and the new direction in which his life was headed. He decided to reflect on a new direction for him as the artiste and a producer, who had to once again redefine himself. He began to educate himself more about the business of music and began to understand what his โ€œBrandโ€ is.

In 2009, Red Rat became the President and Musical Director at his independent record label which he co-owes which has partner Pascalli called Infinity Moguls Music Group. Red Rat, now all grown up, with a new image, new management, a new message and a new sound, along with a whole armada of new songs and productions, Red Rat took on this venture with poise and grace, which has now put him in an Iconic status.

[...]

In 2012, he made history with his artist and business partner Pascalli, when they wrote a song for Zimbabwe โ€œRise Up Zimbabweโ€ and then again in 2017 with โ€œNever Give Up Zimbabweโ€, which was embraced by the people and is used as a non-official anthem for the people. Also in 2017, Red Rat became the highest streamed Dancehall artist hitting 17 million streams on Spotify.

Red Ratโ€™s focus is on his artist Pascalli, and is preparing to release his highly anticipated fourth (4th) studio Album in late 2019. Red Rat is an International Iconic Reggae & Dancehall Artist, possessing greatness that ensures that his individuality is very different from all the rest."...

INFORMATION ABOUT KABUSA ORIENTAL CHOIR
Excerpt #1
From https://mybiohub.com/2019/07/kabusa-oriental-choir.html/
"Kabusa Oriental Choir is a comedy group of four men who rose to fame through their melodious voices by twisting Nigerian songs in Catholic choir formatโ€...

****
Excerpt #2
From https://punchng.com/we-would-rather-dance-in-robes-than-perform-sexual-skits-austin-of-kabusa-oriental-choir/
"The Kabusa oriental choir group is quite vibrant in the Nigerian digital space with about 225,000 followers on Instagram. Consisting of four young men โ€“ Austin, Victor, Ransom and Ozoma โ€“ the group makes their own versions of popular songs. Austin tells TOLUWALOPE KAREEM how their group launched into social media stardom.

How did your group form the name kabusa oriental choir and what is its relevance to your brand?

When we made our first video (our cover of โ€˜Yebaโ€™ and โ€˜Babaโ€™ by Kizz Daniel), it turned out to be very hilarious and we figured that we needed a name. We didnโ€™t want something classy like โ€˜Wembley Choirโ€™ or โ€˜Pittsburgh Choirโ€™ but needed a name that would match the local โ€˜Naijaโ€™ choir theme we had createdโ€“ a name that had a savage ring to it. Kabusa is not just a place in Abuja, it is also where the studio we recorded the song is located, so why not โ€˜Kabusaโ€™? It sounds like a place where cavemen live and thatโ€™s what made it a perfect choice. It was not like we sat on a round table and placed the names before us for everyone to vote. This choice was made three minutes before the video was posted on Instagram because we needed to include it in the caption. We called it โ€˜Kabusa Oriental Mass Choirโ€™ but it was too long, so we shortened it to โ€˜Kabusa Oriental Choirโ€™.โ€...

LYRICS- THE CORONA SONG
(Kabusa Oriental Choir)

Okoro be careful
Make you not catch coro
Okoro be careful
Make you not catch coro
Okoro be careful
Make you not catch coro
Okoro be careful
Make you not catch corona virus

Corona e no dey show for face
So wash your hands and say hello
Hello my neighbors
No more handshake
No more hugging
No more, until further notice

Corona e no dey show for face
Why donโ€™t you
Cover that mouth when you are coughing
Even when you are sneezing
When you are yawning
And when you catch am o
Your name go change to aunty coro
Mama if you catch am o
Your name go change to Iya coro
Baba if you catch am o
Your name go change to baba coro
Okoro if you catch am o
Your name go change to O-coro

O my sister, sister Chimamanda
A.K.A. Mandy la choco
If you catch corona
Your name will change to Mandy la coro

O, my brother brother Segun Taiwo
A.K.A Shege Taiwan
If you catch corona
Your name will change to Segun la coro

Olapa
If you stop anybody
And they start to cough
You should know that water
Have pass garri
Kukuma escort them to General Hospital
Your life is precious, forget that 50 Naira

Aunty if you catch am o
Your name go change to aunty coro
Mama if you catch am o
Your name go change to Iya coro
Baba if you catch am o
Your name go change to baba coro
Okoro if you catch am o
Your name go change to O-coro

Protect yourself and protect Africa
COROnate yourself and COROnate Africa
simple

DEFINITIONS OF AND EXPLANATIONS ABOUT SOME WORDS IN THIS SONG
These entries are given in order of appearance in this song and numbered for referencing purposes only.

Disclaimer: I'm an African American who doesn't speak any language but American English. I've learned a little bit about Nigeria, West Africa from some Nigerians (mostly Yorubas) I've met over a period of time in my adopted city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Because I don't know any Nigerian languages and because I know very little about Nigeria culture, I may not have understood or fully interpreted these terms or sayings. Additions and corrections are welcome.

1. Okoro
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okoro
"Okoro is a surname of Igbo origin meaning "the child of the freeborn man"."

**
2. coro - abbreviation for "coronavirus"

**
3. Corona e no dey show for face
This is an example of Nigerian Pidgin English that I think means "Corona [virus] is invisible.

**
4. 0
From the explanation for "nawa Oh!* that is given in this article https://theculturetrip.com/africa/nigeria/articles/15-nigerian-pidgin-english-phrases-you-need-to-know/ 21 Essential Pidgin Phrases Youโ€™ll Need in Nigeria
"The โ€˜ohโ€™ at the end is usually added to a lot of words and phrases, a kind of conversational tick to add emphasis."

*In the comments by Nigerians and other West Africans that I've come across online, "o" at the end of a sentence isn't spelled "oh", but is written as "o" or multiple "o"s and "nawa oh" is usually written as "nawao" and "na wa ooo". In those sentences "o" doesn't mean the same thing as that standard English word.

**
5. Iya
"Iya" is a Yoruba word that means "mother" in English
https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-meaning-of/yoruba-word-6c9f421cd46a32aed561635a745d824ffbcccefe.html

**
6. Baba
In this song, "Baba" is a Yoruba word that means "father" in English

**
7. Chimamanda
is a popular Igbo (Nigeri) name meaning "My God Will Not Fail"; A common contemporary nickname for "Chimamanda is "Mandy",

**
8. Mandy la choco
My guess is that this is a reference to Mandy La Candy is a popular Nigerian transgender based in Canada.
https://www.informationng.com/2014/07/nigerian-transgender-mandy-la-candy-surfaces-follows-miss-sahharas-steps.html

**
9. Segun Taiwo is a masculine Yoruba name
Segun
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olusegun
"Olusegun (sometimes spelled as Oluwasegun or its diminutive form, Segun) is a name of Yoruba origin for males, meaning "God is Victorious"."
-snip-
I think that the "Se" in the name "Segun" is pronounced "Sh" as in the English word "shed".

**
10. Taiwo
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwo
"Taiwo (variant forms: Taiye, Taye, Taiyewo)[1] is a name of Yoruba origin meaning "the first twin to taste the world." or the one who comes before Kehinde.[2] Although Taiwo is the firstborn twin, in Yoruba belief Taiwo is considered the younger twin, having been sent into the world by Kehinde to determine if it is the right time to be born. The names are associated with the Yoruba belief in Ibeji, sacred twins"

**
11. Shege Taiwan
"Shege Taiwan" is a play on the name "Segun Taiwo".

From http://naijalingo.com/words/shege
"Shege
Definition:pronounce \'Shay-gay\' is a swear word
Example:Take Shege!, Shege! you idiot
-end of quote-

Taiwan is a nation in the world which is claimed by China.

"Shege Taiwan" alludes to the belief that Covid-19 originated in China.

**
12. Olapa - police officer

**
13. water have pass garri
From http://naijalingo.com/words/watar-don-pass-gari
" โ€œWatar don pass gari
Definition:the water is more than the gari, so you can not eat it! Is used to refer to a situation gone bad.
Example:watar don pass gari, i hear sey police de come, I don clear!"

**
14. Kukuma
From http://naijalingo.com/words/kukuma
"Definition :as well, at once, already
Example: as you dey submit your own kukuma submit my own "

**
15. forget that 50 Naira
My guess is that this statement alludes to the bribes that Nigerian policemen take from people they stop to arrest.

**
16. COROnate
This is a play on the English word "coronate"

SHOWCASE VIDEOS
With the exception of the first video, all of these videos are given in chronological order.

WARNING: The song "Don't Rush" by U.K. rap duo Young T and Bugsey contains a lot of profanity and sexually explicit references, but perhaps because of their accents, most of the lyrics of this song are indecipherable. The words to that rap that are clearly heard are "don't rush".

WARNING: A number of #Don't Rush Challenge videos show a lot of cleavage, which probably reflects styles in women's fashion in the United States and in other nations where these videos were made. Most of these showcase videos don't have that content.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE DON'T RUSH CHALLENGE
Excerpt #1
From https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/04/9679534/dont-rush-challenge-creators
"Like a lot of us, 20-year-old business student Toluwalase Asolo has been stuck at home since March. Naturally, she took to creating a video with her friends, and then tweeted a clip captioned, โ€œThe boredom jumped out.โ€ That was the beginning of the #DontRushChallenge, which showed seven friends changing looks while passing around a makeup brush to the song โ€œDonโ€™t Rushโ€ by Young T and Bugsey. The video blew up, and has gone on to amass more than 2 million views. In it, the women show their natural look, and then use the brush to โ€œtransformโ€ into gassed-up going-out looks.

The women in the well-edited video planned the sequence of handing off the brush and collected the footage for the challenge via WhatsApp. The now famous seven have Congolese, Nigerian, Sierra Leonean, and Turks and Caicos Islander origins, and shot their sections of the video in their own dorm rooms while self-quarantining during the coronavirus pandemic.


[...]

โ€œWe understand that in a period like this with nothing to do, a lot of people may slip into depression due to high levels of inactivity and idleness,โ€ Asolo told Teen Vogue. โ€œSo we decided to highlight the togetherness in isolation.โ€ "

Excerpt #2
From https://www.teenvogue.com/story/dont-rush-challenge-creator The Real Reason the #DontRushChallenge Was Created

A 20-year-old college student was just trying to kill time and have fun with her seven friends.
BY ANTOINETTE ISAMA, APRIL 7, 2020
In this op-ed, writer Antoinette Isama touches base with the co-creator of the viral #DontRushChallenge to learn the origin story and unpacks the importance of giving credit to internet phenomenons.

On March 22, Toluwalase Asolo, a 20-year-old business management student at the University of Hull, tweeted a clip with the caption, โ€œThe boredom jumped out.โ€ To the song of โ€œDonโ€™t Rushโ€ by U.K. rap duo Young T and Bugsey, she and her seven girlfriends changed looks seamlessly while passing around a makeup brush used as a metaphorical baton. This one minute and 26-second video would go on to amass 2 million views and become the popular #DontRushChallenge.

โ€œWe understand that in a period like this with nothing to do, a lot of people may slip into depression due to high levels of inactivity and idleness,โ€ Toluwalase tells Teen Vogue. โ€œSo we decided to highlight the togetherness in isolation.โ€ The ladies, who have Congolese, Nigerian, Sierra Leonean and Turks and Caicos Islander origins, planned the video sequence of handing off the makeup brush and collected their respective footage for the challenge via WhatsApp. They are in their respective dorm rooms while self-distancing during the global coronavirus pandemic.

In its third week, weโ€™ve especially seen Black women effortlessly celebrate their diverse cultures, professions, and interests all in short clips. This video challenge has shown us yet again that Black women creators have the ability to shift and maintain virality in a digital space thatโ€™s quick to erase them. Their intention with the #DontRushChallenge, according to Asolo, was to empower and encourage women to embrace their beauty with and without makeup. They wanted to incorporate what they love โ€” fashion and beauty โ€” with what women around the world can easily relate to.

โ€œIn all honesty, we did not anticipate this blowing up on the internet,โ€ Toluwalase says. โ€œWe were taken by surprise, but [we were] also overwhelmed with gratitude at how well it has been embraced by people worldwide. We started a movement and weโ€™re extremely proud of ourselves and honored that our idea has been recognized on a global scale.โ€

Itโ€™s important to note this recognition, as weโ€™ve seen how Black women creators on platforms like TikTok donโ€™t get such nods and opportunities (e.g. the โ€œRenegadeโ€ challenge). This erasure also stems from what some have pointed out as tech bias from the developers of these platforms. However, with the #DontRushChallenge, those who participated made it a point to thread the original clip or tag the creators of the challenge to give proper credit, so it was hard to forget the faces behind this moment.

Furthermore, in some iterations of the challenge, participants switched from sweats to traditional outfits. This signifies the duality first- and second-generation Black women experience daily. Through this challenge, itโ€™s reassuring to celebrate the diversity and pride of the African diaspora.

โ€œI think it just goes to show that we never really are given our respective dues because weโ€™re so creative and are a big part of online culture. To get this recognition means that slowly but surely Black women are getting the respect they deserve online,โ€ Toluwalase adds. โ€œAdditionally, it just emphasizes how much variety comes from Black women and the immense amount of beauty that is all around the world, and so when given the right platform, we are always ready to show all the way out.โ€

The girls selected the song โ€œDonโ€™t Rushโ€ as the soundtrack for their concept and it remains the mainstay for many iterations of the challenge โ€” yielding a point of discovery for the artists despite the single being originally released around this time last year. Thanks to the challenge, the song has now charted in over nine different countries on major streaming platforms. Young T and Bugsey have made sure to give the girls their due credit for this milestone. โ€œThe artists have reached out to show appreciation for the effect the challenge has had on their song," Toluwalase says. โ€œItโ€™s a pleasure to play a part in the well-deserved recognition the song has received.โ€

In turn, Toluwalase points out that the countless iterations of the #DontRushChallenge showcase the versatility and individuality of women. โ€œWith its tremendous universal response, we can feel the empowerment of these beautiful women as they embrace what would otherwise be considered โ€˜flaws,โ€™ as beauty,โ€ she says.โ€

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTES
The "Don't Rush challenge" originated in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2020 and has since spread over the world. According to the article excerpts given above, the challenge started when Toluwalase Asolo, a 20-year-old business management student at the University of Hull (England) and her friends were bored during their coronavirus quarantines.

A summary for the April 8, 2020 #Don't Rush Challenge video entitled "Don't Rush Challenge Mash Up | Top Videos | Moms, Doctors, Military Women, Basketball Players, Kids" (and given as Video #5 in Part II of this pancocojams series) serves as an example of the underlying theme of the challenge. That summary invites people watching that video to "Join in on the fun and share your videos on Instagram, Facebook, etc. This popular TikTok challenge features participants starting off dressed down then glowing up after โ€œtossingโ€ objects, such as a make up brush, from one to another to the sounds of Young T & Bugsey hit โ€œDonโ€™t Rush.โ€.
-end of quote-

"Glow up" (also given as "glo-up") - refers to a positive transformation in one's appearance. Click https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/glo-up-meaning-best-examples-2/ for information about the 2018 Twitter "glow-up" hashtag โ€œ#2012vs2018.โ€, including this quote "The viral meme saw users post two images of themselves with a six-year time difference in order to illustrate changes in their physical appearance. But thereโ€™s more to it than that."
-end of quote-

Initially, all of the #Don't Rush Challenge videos were of Black people. However, by at least the beginning of April 2020, White people and other non-Black people throughout the world began to join in the trend of posting #Don't Rush Challenge videos.

This viral internet social media challenge now includes videos of people representing almost any conceivable category including moms with children, individual videos from historically Black Greek letter fraternities and sororities, individual videos from people in specific careers or in the armed services, Grey hair edition, natural hair editions, interracial couples, Gay father's edition, celebrities editions, celebrities impersonators, videos that showcase children, Black males, Black families, people over 40, Drag Queens, Muslims, and people representing specific nations and regions throughout the world.

**
Initially, some of these videos may have credited the "Don't Rush Challenge" originators. However, most of the YouTube videos I watched don't credit those originators.

**
This challenge is sometimes referred to as the "pass the brush" or the "make-up brush" challenge, in reference to the make-up brush that sometimes passed or thrown to the next featured person. That person is first shown in informal attire without make-up, and then (usually) fully groomed and dressed up as if they are going on a date or to somewhere special. Particularly in the mom with children editions, the mothers appear very harried before they are shown with the make-over that they presumably gave themselves, since they are in quarantine due to the coronavirus.

**
A few summaries to #Don't Rush Challenge" on YouTube provide a link to information about Covid 19, or otherwise mention the coronavirus quarantine. However, most summaries don't mention the coronavirus or provide that informational link.

**
WARNING: The lyrics to the British rap song "Don't Rush" by U.K. rap duo Young T and Bugsey have nothing to do with the overarching theme of the #Don't Rush Challenge. That rap track is all about how the rappers are irresistible to women. In the #Don't Rush Challenge, the specific words "don't rush" exhort people who are experiencing the stress, anxiety, depression, and extra work at home during the self-isolating coronavirus quarantine to take time to beautify themselves like the would have done if they were going somewhere special.

"Don't Rush" by Young T and Bugsey contains a lot of profanity and sexually explicit references, but perhaps because of their accents, most of the lyrics of this song are indecipherable. The words to that rap that are clearly heard are "don't rush".

WARNING: A number of #Don't Rush Challenge videos show a lot of cleavage, which probably reflects styles in women's fashion in the United States and in other nations where these videos were made.

"1:41, 2:24 How is that making fun & not spreading awareness? This song is just him talking about how the Corona Virus hysteria has effected him & others & itโ€™s uplifting peopleโ€™s spirits during a worldwide crisis. It also serves as a marker in time & is reaching people who donโ€™t really listen to gospel music. Iโ€™m pretty sure absolutely no one is taking this pandemic less seriously because of this song, and just because he isnโ€™t creating music in the style that you would doesnโ€™t mean heโ€™s doing something wrong. This is the inspiration that God gave him. Let the man share his gift the way he was inspired to."

LYRICS: CORONA CLAP
(Dee-1)

[Intro]
1, 2, 3, 4, bust it
Remix, remix, remix
I got them squirts for the low
I gotโ€…themโ€…squirts for theโ€…low
Corona, Corona
Dee-1, look

[Chorus 1]
Where Italy at? USAโ€…at?
Canada, China, we don't play that
This that corona clap
This thatโŸcoronaโŸclap

[Verse]
IโŸsaid I'm trynaโŸstay safe woadie,โŸplease believe
But that corona make it hard for a player to breath
Don't wash your hands, you might catch woadie then you are stuck
Right now them tickets to Jamaica only 15 bucks
I'm tryna quarantine myself, I'm staying inside
The NBA cancelled on me, man I'm feeling deprived
I'm out of toilet paper but they ain't got none in the store
Man that corona wild, you can't wipe your butt no more
And ain't no more school for students, it's just classes online
[?] about to have their graduation on FaceTime
Man they trying to cancel God, I can't go into church
Got hand sanitizle on deck and I'm selling squirts
My concerts getting cancelled man I'm really so drove
But if you start coughing around me I'm walking clean out the door

I'm telling all my people stay home, it's real, that's real
Don't play with that coronavirus man, cool out and just chill

[Chorus 2]
Where France at? Where Spain at?
Africa, Philippines, we don't play that
This that corona clap
Where Japan at? Where Brazil at?
Mexico, let 'em know, we don't feel that
This that corona clap
This that corona clap

[Outro]
Man y'all be safe, man
Y'all stay inside, dog
Don't let that corona get you, dog
You heard me, it's your boy Dee-1
Mission vision all day

[Mayor LaToya Cantrell Sample]
This is, in fact, a crisis, make no mistake about that. This is real. And weโ€™re asking everyone to pay full attention

EXPLANATIONS ABOUT SOME TERMS OR PHRASES IN THIS TRACK
(given in no particular order and numbered for referencing purposes only)
1. "I got them squirts for the low" - I have some squirted sanitizer for the palms of the hands

2. "Where Italy at? USAโ€…at?" (and other nations) - Instead of asking for the actual locations of these nations, these questions are calls (commands, requests) for people to give a shout out to their nation of origin or to where they are living now.

When someone writes "[nation or city/region] where you at?" on certain YouTube discussion threads. people from that place "sign in" (write their names or their nation's name). For one example of a pancocojams "nation signing in" post, click http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2019/04/nation-signing-in-comments-from-youtube.html for the April 2019 pancocojams post entitled "Nation Signing In" Comments From The YouTube Video Discussion Thread For "Eloko Oyo" by Fally Ipupa"

3. Woadie
From https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Woadie
"Woadie
Def: Term of endearment, usually platonic, between ghetto-ites. Originally slang for "Wardie", which is slang for someone living in a certain Ward, or district in the inner city, woadie has been popularized by Southern Rappers in the past few years.
e.g. What's up woadie? What you got on my forty?
by Doombot October 20, 2003

**
4. dog- a colloquial, usually positive or neutral term for a male similar to man or dude

**
5. "We don't play that; we don't feel that" - both of these sayings mean the same thing, that people (in the nations mentioned) aren't interested in (don't want to be involved with, don't want to get) "that". In the context of the Corona Clap" track, "that" means "the coronavirus".)

**
6. "I'm selling squirts" - selling squirts from a bottle of hand sanitizer

**
7. I'm really so drove - I'm really angry, upset, ready to act out -perhaps from the American idiom "being driven [to do something] Click https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=drove for a 2007 list of urban dictionary entries for "drove" that include "crazy", "funny", "silly", "actin a fool" and more.

**
8. "I'm walking clean out the door" (clean out" means [walking] completely (all the way) out of the door; another way of saying this is "I'm walking right out the door"

**
9. "cool out and chill" - both mean don't get angry or upset. The vernacular meanings of these verbs are the opposite of "getting hot (angry) about something or someone". However "Let's chill" can also mean "let's relax". Therefore, the line "cool out and chill" in this rap probably means "Don't get angry or upset. Just relax".

This could also be given as "chill and cool out.

**
10. "The NBA cancelled on me" -the National Basketball Association (NBA) cancelled its season because of the coronavirus.

**
11. Got hand sanitizle on deck = I've got [a bottle of] hand sanitizer close to me.
The "izle" (izzle) ending is a form of "Pig Latin" which was re-introduced in Hip Hop recordings by Snoop Dog (who is erroneously credited with its creation in the article quoted below):
" "izzle A suffix added onto the first sound in a word. The word "sure" becomes "shizzle" by adding -izzle to the sound "sh." "Book" can become "bizzle", "fork" becomes "fizzle" etc. This slang most likely originates with hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg. Last edited on Nov 05 2001.
