I peep how CMR was trynn be tough guys and was trying to call Jubilee nem homo for the tight shiny shirts and twerkin they were doin as men. Its all clearn now. I always wanted to see the videos that went with the dances they was doin."

Juvenile is a New Orleans' rapper. "His" in this comment refers to DJ Jubilee, another New Orleans rapper. Click https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/jury-sides-with-juvenile-in-song-theft-case-71207/ for a 2003 article about Juvenile and DJ Jubilee. That article reports that a jury ruled against DJ Jubilee in his suit that alleged that Juvenile's hit 1999 song "Back That Azz Up" was based on Jubilee's 1998 song "Back That Thang Up" (also known as "Back That Ass Up").  The two New Orleans rappers had problems with each other prior to the release of both of those songs, as evidenced by DJ Jubilee's diss of Juvenile in his 1993 recird "Jubilee All".

CMR= Cash Money Records (Juvenile's record label)

*This word is fully spelled out in that comment. The words "Bounce fa da juvenile' / That ain't it! / Do the Jubilee ", a  diss to the rapper Juvenile,  are part of the lyrics to that song. "the Beenie Weenie" is a dance that DJ Jubilee made up and called out in his 1993 "Jubilee All" record.

We worry about what people think of us too much. If they don't like us, they can just F <%k off!!! Can't please everyone."

Cheeky Blakk, DJ Jubilee, & Partners-N Crime also few New Orleans Bounce artist say twerk something, Ni--a*. I still shake and twerk.

10. @Priinsu
"So the first recorded instance of a song or video of twerking is men twerking? I think this drives the point home about gender being a social construct. I mean typically when we think of twerking we think of women doing it because it's mostly thought of as something women ( and effeminate men) do but here in this video we see seemingly straight men twerking in rap no less and proud of it. Somewhere along the line from this until now there was a shift in gender expectations for twerking. Where even though one of the first depictions of twerking was by men it became something more associated with feminity and considered less masculine.

Idk I just think it's interesting the way it played out."

INFORMATION ABOUT DJ JUBILEE 
From https://www.djjubilee.com/ [This is a complete reprint]
"DJ Jubilee was born Jerome Temple in New Orleans. He grew up in the St. Thomas projects where he launched his DJ career in 1982. The nickname “Jubilee” was bestowed upon Temple when was eight or nine by his older brother, in reference to New Orleans Saints player Jubilee Dunbar.  

In 1992, he introduced the city to a whole new culture of music "Bounce". The following year, Jubilee exploded onto the scene with his debut cassette single, “Do the Jubilee All.” It sold around 230,000 copies, mainly in Louisiana and east Texas. The song and its author were afforded considerably broader exposure when Jube performed during the half-time show on the nationally televised Bayou Classic. His four-track debut, Stop Pause (1992-Take Fo’) followed, as did the full-length DJ Jubilee & the Cartoon Crew (Take Fo’) later the same year, again including “Do the Jubilee All.” DJ Jubilee has been recognized as the pioneer for the current dance phrase "Twerk".

In 1997, DJ Jubliee was back at it with another hit record "Get Ready Ready". Get ready took the world by storm debuting at #7 on billboard top 100. While touring on the weekend in his music profession he didn't forget about his passion, saving inner city youth. In 1997, he began volunteering coaching at Annunciation square. Where he has (7) city championships, (13) uptown championships, competed in (12) championships in (17) years and (8) conservative championships. 

DJ Jubilee remains at the top of conversation today, wether it is his music or community service touching and inspiring many generations."
-snip-
Click https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Jubilee for a Wikipedia page on DJ Jubilee. However, a lot of the dates on that page are wrong. For instance, instead of the date that is given in that page,  DJ Jubilee's song "Jubilee All" was first released in 1993. That song's title is also given as "Stop Pause Jubilee All", "Stop Pause", and "Do The Jubilee All". 

Also, the "Background" section in this Wikipedia page contains content that doesn't refer to DJ Jubilee.

Here's a portion of that Wikipedia page:
"From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Jubilee

"Jerome Temple, professionally known as DJ Jubilee, is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana.

[...]

Music career

DJ Jubilee, also known as “The King of Bounce” began DJing at house parties and block parties in the 2016. He achieved significant recognition for his 2014 cassette single Do The Jubilee All Take Fo' Records.[3] This song contains the first recorded use of the word 'twerk'.[4]

DJ Jubilee's 2016 album Take It To the St. Thomas Take Fo' Records debuted at #61 on Billboard’s Top R&B albums chart for the week of May 9, 1998.[5]

In November 2013, DJ Jubilee headlined the first bounce show to be performed at New Orleans' Preservation Hall with the Big Easy Bounce Band.[6][7]

The 2000 504 Boyz hit single "Wobble Wobble" was inspired by a DJ Jubilee lyric.[8]

Legal issues

Take Fo' Records unsuccessfully sued Cash Money Records alleging that Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up" infringed the copyright of DJ Jubilee's "Back That A$$ Up".[9]"....

**
There are two versions of the song "Do The Jubilee All". In the 1993 version, DJ Jubilee names dances after people he knows, and in the 1993 (1995?) version of that song he names dances after some cartoon characters.

Read this comment that was written in response to a commenter in the discussion thread for the video given as Showcase #2 in this pancocojams post. Although that comment no longer is included in that discussion thread, it's clear that the commenter asked where the record that people were dancing to in that video came from:
"it's on da  Dj Jubilee and Cartoon Drew album from 95' u can hear him callin out da cartoons but it's almost impossible to find dis album anywhere gotta hit up Jubilee his self lol"

"Lord! That was my song. That brought me back to all those DJs they used to have in the St. Bernard Projects back in the day. Man, I miss New Orleans. I can't wait to come back home."
-snip-
"The projects" refer to low income, partially government housing developments. This term is still used particularly by African Americans throughout the United States. 

In late August 2005 Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans and that city's levees failed. Many of the city's projects were destroyed and New Orleans decided not to rebuild them. The projects were torn down and replaced them with high rent town houses and other properties whose rents are much higher than poor and working class people can afford.

Beyoncé - "Formation"
...Written By Slim Jxmmi, Pluss, Jordan Frost, Mike WiLL Made-It, Swae Lee & Beyoncé

Release date- Feb. 6, 2016

 [...]

Genius Annotation
[9 contributors]

"Formation” is a Black Power anthem, a fitting contribution to Black History Month and an important conversation piece in the Black Lives Matter movement. The song was released one day after what would have been Trayvon Martin’s 21st birthday and one day before what would have been Sandra Bland’s 29th birthday. Martin and Bland’s deaths are focal points of Black Lives Matter.

Continuing the trend commonly attributed to her surprise 2013 album release, “Formation” was surprise-released alongside an unlisted music video the day before her appearance as part of the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, where she performed this track. After her performance, she announced The Formation World Tour. “Formation” was later included as the closer for Beyoncé’s sixth album, LEMONADE, which was surprise-released on April 23, 2016.

New Orleans bounce musician Big Freedia, who appears on the interlude, noted the song and video showcase Bey “paying homage to her roots.” Bounce music originated in New Orleans and is a faster paced style of hip-hop music.

Shots from the music video come directly from Chris Black and Abteen Bagheri’s 2012 That B.E.A.T., a bounce music documentary filmed in New Orleans. After some initial controversy, a rep for Beyoncé confirmed proper credit and compensation had been attributed to the film makers. Watch That B.E.A.T. below. "...

Verified Commentary

Swae Lee via Fader:

"When I made that Beyoncé hook I was thinking nothing about it. I make a lot of songs, so I’m just thinking that this is another song. A couple months later, Mike tells me that Beyoncé wants it. I couldn’t imagine!"

[…]

What has the media said about the song?

Genius Answer

[contributed by the breakup:

"In 2018, NPR ranked this as the #19 greatest song by a female or nonbinary artist in the 21st century, saying:

Beyoncé’s two great obsessions — love and power — combine on her personal-is-political masterpiece, 2016’s Lemonade. Like the album itself, ‘Formation’ is a defiant celebration of black womanhood and the singer’s Southern heritage. Though it finds her croon flawless, the song shines when she shifts to a raspy rap and deploys a series of lethal one-liners, culminating in a masterful parting shot: ‘You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation.’ It’s a brilliant single, but Bey transcended the sonic realm with her self-titled album in 2013, and every track she’s recorded since is inseparable from the imagery rolled out to accompany it. In this case, that meant a music video dense with references to Hurricane Katrina, racist policing and the resilience of black communities, followed a day later by dancers in Black Panther berets flanking Beyoncé at a Super Bowl performance. Released early in a year when overt racism and misogyny bum-rushed American politics, ‘Formation’ remains the radical apex of a sui generis career." "

From https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/feb/08/beyonce-formation-review-super-bowl-rallying-cry-black-consciousness Beyoncé's Formation review – a rallying cry that couldn't be more timely

Beyoncé’s Super Bowl surprise single was the perfect way to follow her shock album from two years ago: she’s made a black consciousness masterpiece

Alex Macpherson,  8 Feb 2016 EST
"Fully realising a masterpiece can be a double-edged sword. In the two years since Beyoncé “changed the game with that digital drop”, I’ve frequently wondered just how she could possibly follow it.

If Beyoncé herself has been beset by such concerns, it doesn’t show. On Formation, she doesn’t just answer that question, but savours every delicious moment of making her statement. Just listen to her voice – or rather, voices; hanging out with Nicki Minaj (and indeed co-writer Swae Lee, one half of rap scamps Rae Sremmurd) has clearly had an effect. There’s the amused drawl of “y’all haters corny with that Illuminati mess”, the barely suppressed giggle about keeping hot sauce in her bag, the sudden giddy exclamation as she lands on the word “chaser” in the chorus. It’s one of Beyoncé’s most playful performances to date: she treats the Mike Will Made It-produced beat the same way a cat treats a ball of wool. With its rubbery springing steps giving way to horns, clattering martial tattoos and the kind of heavy bass that goes straight to your hips, there’s plenty for her to toy with; its loose approach to structure makes it more akin to a freeform dance routine than a conventional pop song.

[…]

Formation’s declarations of identity are carefully chosen for political weight and layers of meaning. “I like my negro nose with Jackson 5 nostrils,” she declaims in the half-rapped, half-sung cadence that’s served her so well ever since she haughtily flipped In Da Club in 2003. It’s radical self-love, of course, but the metaphor is a flashing reminder of the troubled alternative that has faced black stars before now.

The video, meanwhile, opens with the singer crouched on a New Orleans police car, half-submerged in a flood – and closes with her lying back as the water engulfs both her and the vehicle. In between, footage of the city post-Katrina is interspersed with grainy shots of dancers shot from above, as though from a police helicopter; opulent gothic mansions straight out of the antebellum South, now owned by Beyoncé and her band of black women in vintage lace. Most effective of all is an extended shot of a child dancing in front of a row of riot police, who raise their hands in response to his moves before the camera cuts to graffiti reading “STOP SHOOTING US”.

[…]

As with her hyper-specific lyrics, it feels notable that she seems increasingly uninterested in universality; Formation’s references are designed for maximum resonance – or perhaps alienation, depending on where you stand. It’s a song ostensibly about Beyoncé’s identity that forces the listener to acknowledge their own identity – a bold move from the world’s biggest pop star, who over her career has been no stranger to the kind of song written so vaguely as to apply to anyone and anything. The presence of New Orleans bounce rapper Big Freedia works in a similar fashion; Formation may be Beyoncé’s blackest song yet, but thanks to Freedia and a healthy dose of exhortations to slay, it’s also her most gay.

[…]

The central tension in Formation is between its playfulness and the anger underpinning it; often, there’s a disconnect between Beyoncé’s carefree voice and the powerful images on screen. As it goes on, though, the significance of the dance becomes clearer. If Beyoncé’s self-titled album was a fundamentally personal statement, the painstaking work of a woman engaged in deep analysis of herself, her desires and her place in the world, Formation finds her turning her attention outwards. Ultimately, it is a rallying cry, and it couldn’t be more timely; when Beyoncé begins to exhort her ladies to get in formation, it’s the sound of a militia being prepared for battles ahead."

7 Reasons Beyoncé's "Formation" Music Video Is a Powerful Statement During Black History Month

This was no coincidence.

BY INDIA HILL, FEBRUARY 6, 2016
… "ASIDE FROM the video obviously showing off Bey’s killer moves — because this is a Beyoncé music video, after all — and her adorable daughter, Blue Ivy, the video dives deep into the issues that the black community is currently facing, from police brutality to unrealistic standards of beauty. The timing is perfect, considering it is Black History Month. And if you know Beyoncé, you know that nothing she does is a coincidence. She’s got something to say, and she’s going to make sure you hear her loud and clear. IT IS a literal ode to black culture, and it makes no apologies for that. People who say that they “don’t get” this video or that it’s not “speaking to them” need not apply: it’s not for the entire world to approve of, or even consume. Beyoncé does not need the world’s approval — she has her own. In a time where we have to remind others that black lives do matter, in a time where the parts of our culture that we were previously ridiculed for are currently being appropriated and made into the mainstream by our white counterparts, it’s absolutely refreshing to see Beyoncé stand up in her blackness, unapologetically, and make a statement. SHE HAS created her own lane and is using it to take a stand, while simultaneously SLAYING in every way possible...and here’s how:

1/7

She’s going on record to take a stand against police brutality.

[…]

2/7

It may have seemed like the government forgot New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, but she hasn’t.

[...]

3/7

She unapologetically references multiple aspects of black culture...and wants you to remember where they come from.

Black culture has been becoming increasingly popular, and is more often than not appropriated by the mainstream culture that likes to pretend they “discovered” it. (For the record, Miley Cyrus did not invent twerking.) Beyoncé wants you to know that she is not here for your Columbusing. She's been nodding to her Creole heritage ever since the “Deja Vu” video, and her Texas roots have been evident since “No Angel," but "Formation" is a blend of everything and more. The references in the song range from her choice of soul food — “I like cornbread and collard greens, b*tch, best to believe it” — to the livelihood of a black marching band, worshipping in a small, black church, and even the voodoo magic that is still very much a part of Creole culture. Bey has not forgotten her roots: “Earned all this money but they never take the country off me,” she says. She is not in the business of shying away from her blackness to appease anyone, but rather embraces it and everything that comes along with it. And her presence demands that you believe her.

4/7

Black children matter.

If it’s wasn’t enough that Blue Ivy is already slaying in music videos at the age of 4, she — along with all of Beyoncé’s dancers — are donning afros. This is not an unconscious choice on Beyoncé’s part. Blue’s hair has long been the topic of unsolicited critique, even though she’s a toddler who shouldn’t be subjected to complete strangers’ scrutiny about her appearance. Blue and the rest of the squad serve as a reminder that natural hair is beautiful. And in case you wondered, Beyoncé says she “like my baby hair, with baby hair and afros.” Any more questions?

5/7

She's flipping the script on “Hands up, don’t shoot.”

One of the most powerful scenes in the entire video is that of a small child dancing in a hoodie in front of a line of officers in full combat gear — a scene reminiscent of police officers seen in Ferguson, Missouri, the town where Mike Brown was shot — before they put their hands up and surrender to him….

6/7

Not only is Beyoncé black, but she’s a black woman.

In a world where things are tough for people of color and women, being a woman of color is an extra hurdle. The singer isn’t going to apologize for either her blackness or her womanhood; instead, she embraces every aspect of her identity. Hair is and has always been a way for black women to bond with each other, express themselves, and make a statement. Bey and her dancers rock multiple hairstyles in the video: she hangs her long, golden braids out of her car window, and women with blue and purple extensions stand defiantly in the beauty supply store….

7/7

She's proud of what she's accomplished...and is telling her girls to "get in formation" and run the world right alongside her. ..."

INFORMATION ABOUT THE SONG USED IN THIS "BANG BANG CHOO CHOO TRAIN" TIK TOK / YOUTUBE COMPILATION

The song clip is from Kinsui's 1995 record "Giddy Up Let’s Ride." Warning: "Giddy Up Let's Ride" -This 1995 dance song has some sexually suggestive lyrics.

That 1995 song was featured in the 1997 American movie B.A.P.S.

The only portion of the record that are played for the "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" dance is "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train/Watch those people do their thing. **** DESCRIPTION OF THIS VIDEO All of the people in these very brief compilation video clips are Black (probably African American). A few of the clips include a baby or a young child. The dancing is performed in the person's home. The dancers perform a simple motion in a square formation -front, side, back, side, front, with their arms held in the front like the "Whip" dance. This movement in a square reminds me of the "Funky Four Corners" dance. On the words "right,left, right, left" the dancers "get down" i e. do fancier movements free styling; doing whatever movements they wanted to do. Additions and corrections to my description of this dancing are very welcome.

1 DJ OoWee "Thank you All so much I made this song 25 years ago had no idea it would be Blowin up in 2021 remix OTW" -snip- This comment appears to be from the rapper Kinsul who recorded "Giddy Up Let's Ride" in 1995. "OTW" is an acronym for "On the way". It means the same thing as "OMW" ("on my way"). In this comment, OTW probably means that the rapper is still active.

The father who was playing a virtual game behind them didn't react to the baby falling down either. ** 6. Pamela Carpenter "No she didn't with the wig .,,,❤️‍🔥😂😂" -snip-

One of the middle age women dancing in one of these clips took off her wig and twirled it in her hand while she kept dancing.

"One of my fav booty jams of all time!!"
-snip-
"Booty jams" refers to the fact that this Southern Hip Hop music is called "Bounce music" or "booty bounce" music because of its beat is ideal for shaking that part of the body.

"Yes and this song is featured on the clovers nationals cheer mix"
-snip-
Bring It On is a popular 2000 movie about high school cheerleaders. This is the first of five other  Bring It On movies. "The Clovers" were the "inner city" msotly Black cheerleading squad in that first Bring It On movie.  Click http://cocojams2.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-influence-of-bring-it-on-movies-on.html for the 2014 post entitled "The Influence Of "Bring It On" Movies On Children's Cheerleading" on my cocojams2 blog.
