PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR NOTES ABOUT THIS CHEER
Additions and corrections are welcome.
"Who Want The Smoke" is a stomp and shake high school basketball cheer that cheerleaders chant as an entrance cheer for their team's basketball players.
The "Who Want The Smoke" cheer appears to be popular among United States [African American] high school stomp and shake cheerleaders, thanks, in part, to the number of examples of this cheer on YouTube video short and on Tik Tok.
Based on its online examples and some comments to those videos, this cheer appears to be relatively new with its online examples that are showcased in this pancocojams post being posted at the end of November 2024 and at the beginning of December 2024. The earliest examples of these cheers appears to have been posted on Tik Tok around July 2024.
There are a number of videos examples of this cheer on YouTube and Tik Tok. All of these examples have the same words, although the tempo may be slightly different. In addition, all of these examples have basically the same performance activity:
1. The cheerleaders stand in one vertical line doing a hand clap and foot stomping routine. The same hand clapping and foot stomping routine continues without stopping throughout this entire cheer.
2. The cheerleaders continuing chanting. The first time the cheerleaders say "Let's get it", half of them slide to the right and at the same time half of them slide to the left. This forms two separate vertical lines.
3.After the first line of the second repeat of this cheer, in single file each member of the basketball team bounces a basketball and runs down the row that is formed between the two rows of cheerleaders. The cheerleaders continue chanting until the last basketball player arrives at the end of the row of cheerleaders (i.e. where the first cheerleader in each row is standing)
In the context of this cheer "wanting smoke" means wanting to challenge the fire, energy, power, skill) of that their basketball team.
