[@craigkreger9528]

The sexual tension in this interview is so awesome/uncomfortable

[@_Hangman]

So glad someone else said this as the chemistry between them was fairly obvious.

[@DJJoeBlock]

That Rustie essential mix that Baauer was talking amount is legendary. Definitely one of the best essential mixes I've ever heard.

[@Wiinkeel]

It has been so fun following Baauer from rag to riches, this shit is just pure RAD, Congratulations bro!

[@brook4201]

Wtf this interview happened a month before Harlem shake blew up

[@trapcity]

Great interview, gotta love Baauer!

[@str8todamoney]

[@ItsRuve]

[@h00pdr34mZ]

0:54 baauer reacts when he hears a good question

[@ThaTrapDose]

thanks man, i already found it though. pretty hard to miss :P sick track! props for the name by the way

[@fcfilmer]

harlem shake will go down as one of the greatest tracks of all time.

[@shervin814]

Damn, never knew he was so adorable.

[@triforce2270]

Sucks that Rustie didn't get this much attention...

[@glxylzrz2496]

True

[@krysbonillas]

You guys are doing really good & the artists your selecting are really good! Keep the interviews comin!

[@BoiseyMusic]

because this song has been out for like a year and most people are only now hearing it

[@sersimovi]

the best interview of the channel

[@mainreasonofficial]

I like how humble he is

[@ENTme]

I could swear they were flirting, they were smiling and laughing so much.

[@popptart4]

Because when it released last year, it was a really popular track in electronic music. loads of big djs playin it. that's why she's talkin about its success

[@SnwBrdnSOB]

I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH ROSA! WHAAAATTTTT! GOOD JOB ROSA! may you will interview me one day!

[@dry-soul]

finally i did see the guy who create this phenomena

[@alendotcom]

my remix of this video: "shake, hug, shake, hug. thank you for comming"

[@LightWeightMe]

Baauer is actually a pretty chill guy

[@royalthurston]

The second song in the interview is 'Yaow' by Baauer

[@technicolor101]

Aww he's so smiley and seemingly nice. Killed it at OMFG!

[@popptart4]

Yes. in the "EDM" world it was huge. like every big dj was playing it .. it was like Baauers hit song in electronic music. and then BOOMMMM worldwide

[@GamerBoy9041]

BAUUER!!!!HOMEWORK IS AN AMZING ALBUM! BUT DISCOVERY IS IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEAGUE OF House/EDM MUSIC!

[@rj9966]

Rosa: '' were gonna sit down and ask him some questions'' ....you're already sat down.........

[@Dinmasdin]

Thanks so much ★NICE WEEKEND★

[@Alexsb1]

Sounds like you live in Boston. I wish I'd made it to the V-day show. Heard it was nuts.

[@evilantman1]

THANK THE FILTHY FRANKS!!!

[@popptart4]

It's not a dumb question, because this interview was done before the whole video craze. She asked it cuz over the past year Harlem Shake's been getting LOADS of praise and attention by other big djs/producers.

[@forwardpdx]

for a trap producer, i actually like this guy, seems really cool..

[@SuperShayla00]

Good interview :-) y'all guys he seems like a good person !!! Congratulations.

[@IsidroJoe]

"omg we should totally get some crack pie together sometime!!" guarantee she said that after the interview was over....lol

[@IamFabulousNini]

Baauer is adorable!!

[@Ayumu1990]

proud of ya first cd purchase! daft punk ftw!

[@AntonMoscowCity]

Accidentally famous

[@DJVM95]

the Harlem Shake is even bigger now.

[@endlessslinda]

The opening sentence of Harlem Shake "with the terrorists", corresponds to the voice of former reggaeton Héctor Delgado, known as Hector "El Father", who in 2008 became a Christian PUERTO RICO

[@MarkCalica]

This dude looks a chill guy... I don't get why some hate...

[@Jalmerk]

I remember getting into dubstep with the whole skrillex craze, and everyone was really butthurt about it not really being dubstep. Now ive been listening to Trap for a good while, and i find myself really fucking butthurt about Harlem Shake becoming a meme. Ironic shit.

[@RIIIZM]

Baauer is the god of trap, no matter how many fake fans he has!!!

[@K25tm]

Levels & homework You sir have a good taste in music

[@CaliBornNraised916]

Uh yes it is, an internet meme is a concept that spreads from person to person via the internet. An Internet meme may take the form of an image, hyperlink, video, picture, website, or hashtag. An Internet meme may stay the same or may evolve over time, by chance or through commentary, imitations, parody, or by incorporating news accounts about itself. Internet memes can evolve and spread extremely rapidly, sometimes reaching world-wide popularity within a few days.

[@popptart4]

0:45 LOL and this was before the whole harlem shake craze

[@Zoso707]

Nice first CD choice.

[@GeraldineMaeCueva]

hahahahaha the commentary here is hilarious

[@workaholicmusic2]

nice interview

[@Nutbeam]

the song came out like 3 years ago

[@andreahu2153]

the first CD he bought was Daft Punk's Homework OMGGG :D

[@j3r3mysk8]

I wonder what he thinks now about Harlem Shake since probably most people know it. (This was uploaded Jan 9 and it didn't become huge until February)

[@sweetdude112]

Thanks!

[@redxhat]

LOL "this guy rustie" for fuck sake. RUSTIE KILLS IT!

[@ps895]

Im sory but IMO the interview was uninteresting! I mean who cares what his best meal ever was?! I want to know how he came to produce Trap. From what music milieu he comes that he combines Southern Hip-Hop with EDM etc. After this interview the uninformed still doesnt know what Harlem Shake basically is. Ask about the elements.. And not how you should run away from the police wtf!

[@ThecrazyJH96]

I love being hipster bout him and harlem shake

[@SilkEclipse]

Made me smile...

[@baloof]

Baauer was the best set at lolla 2013

[@MrDrummerLP]

Not crazy about DJ's and the like... but the dude has talent.

[@iobot]

he smashed that

[@elrojo631]

Hes always smiling :)

[@Bagio_Official9]

i want to go to BAAUER LIVE :D

[@DJLaKalle]

OMG CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT HOW CAN I FIND THAT SECOND SOUND THAT IS THERE IN THE INTERWIEW

[@ESSBrew]

Wait, Harlem Shake was popular before all the videos?

[@psthill1]

6 people are obviously doing GANGNAM STYLE! R.I.P PSY CAREER

[@ackselmusic]

harlem shake = new levels

[@________________._____________]

his 808s are sick

[@ps895]

Thought the same during the interview.. Even when it was played it the background! O.o

[@JamesHaroulakis]

I feel like all of you will be arguing as the "Harlem Shake" song does the build up part with the white noise... and then before you know it, you all will be doing the seizure-like dances...

[@priestholmes0909]

What is the name of the song they kept playing during the video (other than the harlem shake)

[@jxmeswright]

Baauer is such a sick middle name

[@UNTZWOMP]

its a dope track but its really just an extended mix of a kanye and jigga song that bauuer produced called goin high

[@mmc2k9999]

hector el father harlem shake 🙏🏼

[@bdixie3290]

i love him!! hes a beast live!

[@Thresh9]

Laaawl Bauer is actually german and means "farmer" xD but only with one "a"

[@zrebrutibreniti]

definitely smashed that

[@F00d2Eat]

I don't see him Harlem Shaking during his concert...

[@jamisonyoxall3386]

The song harlem shake was made before the dance ever came out

[@AChocolateMiniroll]

"ever had the crack pie?" ohhh the inuendo!

[@JamesHaroulakis]

Think about all of the dialogue on this linked comment, incorporated into a Harlem Shake video.

[@CaliBornNraised916]

except he didnt make it, he made the song almost a year ago and all of a sudden a couple of guys started the meme.

[@topfloorb0ss]

she laughed so much

[@elemes24]

the awkwardness of this interview was left behind at the door along with all her clothes

[@Redrash12]

He seems like a sound guy.

[@SimplyFeRoX]

i bet you think every image macro ever made is a meme too.

[@jonnybergins]

Hahaha hes all smiles

[@Drewnation07]

Meme is slightly different. They usually stay around for much longer than fads.

[@AdvExplorer]

Harlem shake ad for Harlem shake video, Harlem shakeception

[@xtheatroN]

1:06. Song?

[@victoriawatkins7571]

Why would think of the Harlem Shake when you know that kids are going to look at it

[@Dubstepkilla101]

Rustie is Freakin Awesome.

[@ImSoooLevi]

he looks such a nice guy :D

[@priestholmes0909]

Whats the name of the song at @2:31

[@gatiyovideo]

How Are you gonna sample a puerto rican rappers voice on "con los terrorista" part and not ask for his permission , he gonna get sued for that ,the rapper said look him up on youtube"hector el father harlem shake"

[@amazingboy97]

>Run backwards Deep.

[@ThaTrapDose]

1:06 whats the name of the song?

[@katecutiekat]

LEVELS!!!

[@babydoll8393]

I KNEW IT! I was fighting this with my boyfriend, he thought it was a girl and I said "No nene ese me suena a Hector "the father"! Ha I was right! I think what threw him off was that you expected the cocky laugh he used to make whenever he said things like that!
