Corey Cammom I used to hang out with break dancers and this was a total favorite for train hitters

@captxinoats

@DavidMorgan411

Don't Stop walked so Uptown Funk could run.

@obibraxton2232

i was just thinking this is probs one song where it was sampled from

@truthbtold8088

💯💯💯💯💯

@jobuck879

Roxxi B Ummm no. Mariah had to use the original artist for her to stand up..let’s give credit where credit is due. Mariah didn’t make this song, the original song was pretty popular and it stood on its own. Don’t try to disregard and disrespect the original artist.

@dionnewhite8235

STILL THE JAM IN 2022
