This is Part II of a two part pancocojams series about Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. strolls which are performed with their signature shoulder shimmy.
These videos from 2007 - 2021 are only a small sample of YouTube videos on Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc's strolls. I randomly selected these particular YouTube videos in large part because of their discussion threads more than because of the videos themselves.
Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2021/10/fivexamples-of-youtube-videos-of-kappa.html for Part I of this pancocojams series. That post showcases five videos of members of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity performing strolls that include their signature shoulder shimmy.
Selected comments from the discussion thread for only one of those showcased videos are included in Part II of this pancocojams series.
The content of this post is presented for historical, cultural, entertainment, and aesthetic purposes.
All copyrights remain with their owners.
Thanks to all those who are featured in these videos and thanks to their videogaphers. Thanks also to the publishers of these videos on YouTube. Also, thanks to all those who are quoted in this post.

WARNING
The lyrics for many but not all Hip-Hop/R&B records-including those that are used for historically Black Greek letter fraternity and sorority strolls- contain profanity, and/or a form of the n-word. and may also include lyrics that are sexually explicit.
Pancocojams is a family friendly blog that usually doesn't post songs that include such lyrics. However, those videos with these songs are included because I'm focusing on the subject of historically Black fraternity and sorority strolls for historical and cultural purposes and it's impossible to fully document strolls without including these types of videos.

ARTICLE EXCERPT
From https://www.watchtheyard.com/kappas/shimmy-kappa-alpha-psi/ 90s Nupe Throwback: This Is What Kappa Alpha Psi Looked Like Before The Shimmy
"The younger members might not realize it but the 90s were a golden era to be a Nupe!
Check out this compilation video of what it looked like to be a Nupe during the 90s. The video is made up of footage from the Delta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi at Wilberforce University and shows everything from Scrollers practicing, to a probate and an array of step shows and yard shows from throughout the decade. We have to mention that the Kappa Kane is something that was highly practiced back in the day and every member had to be a skilled practitioner of the art of twirling. This is what Kappa looked like before the shimmy.
Share this with someone who crossed Kappa in the 80s or 90s
and make their day!"....

Please bring back the Kane’s. There are

down. Even the sigma are looking better

stepping they look so blend."

"I soooooooo misssssss thisssssss!! The D9 was this shiznit in the 90s!! And, I enjoyed how the Nupes got down back
then. There was no shimmying and there
was Massive slickassed cane work. Where
has that gone!? Anyway, I re♎all
when this show first aired and I do so fondly.
My peers and I were proud of it, Skool Daze, and A Dif'rent World. They
were all three potent to us. I'm glad
this video is out here so this generation can at least see how things used to
be when they were Qlassic.

Pancocojams Editor's Note: Actually, there was a very brief shoulder shimmy move at 1:34 to 1:38 in this video, although the men stood erect doing it which is different from the way it is performed in 2021.

Is/Was what I reQall from y'all.
Speaking as a True Bruh and a Brother to all The D9, I am Very impressed
with this Nupe's skills. He would likely
get what I've been screaming for years re: how far too many of our [D9's] newer
members have strayed from the historical stand out, or Owt for My Frat, style
of our different orgs. Now, many of our
ladies step with very little distinction.
Several of our guys mimic The Bruhs' swims/kicks/slides/even hops. And, almost No younger Nupes or Sigmas seem
to know how to twirl their canes. The
latter rarely even have them anymore.
The former often carry them around their campuses but still have No klue
how to use them. I'm Not here to
bash. I love The D9!! I'm simply paying due respect to my fellow
'11 D9 Brother and suggesting that we stress & teach our performance
traditions to our newer members.
Perhaps, they require this in order that they may return to the time
when we took pride in stepping with precision, style, rhythm, and distinction. None of us, okay except maybe the
Sigmas-sorry but it's true, blatantly patterned our style after any other org's
signature stuff. I respected, enjoyed,
and was motivated by that. Now, I miss
it because it's missing. This Nupe
Brother gets bizzzzzeeee 1x with his topnotch kanework and I salute him for
it. I hope Mannnnnnny younger Nupes
watch this video and maybe put a bit of a moratorium on all the shimmying. It's lazy, at least somewhat feminine, and
Not on what Nupes once relied to get thru a show. Precise, smooth, stepping and kanework
was! Please find your way back home,
young Nupes. Also, everybody Stop being
jackasses when making folks!! Pretty
soon, None of our orgs will be able to afford our insurance and then None of us
will have to worry about any of what I've written because we'll all be
"historical" as in defunct due to civil and criminal litigation. I believe Strongly in ensuring that folks
earn, Not buy, their way into our Family.
However, I also believe that discretion starts with members Not with
candidates who are put through a process which we control and which often
leaves them unwell but then are told to behave/walk/look/be discreet. It seems that'd be a Much easier thing for
them to do had they Not had to endure quite as much as they had the night before
and the night before that and so on. Be
smart, D9 Family. Or, be
dismantled. That's about where we are
now. Anyway, great display of ol'skool
Nupedom and I appreciate this Brother sharing.
And, with that all said, I'm Owt!!
#♎ππIsπͺ!!
RQQ to The S.O.B.A.T.!! And, peace and love to The D9."
