[@DJShoutSmith]

I grew up in Philadelphia & North Carolina and I, now, wish I grew up in Memphis!!!! Big up Memp!!!!

[@mediacherry4139]

This is a natural talent that we possess it is not rehearsed it is practiced into perfection. I really enjoyed watching this documentary I learned a lot about the creativity that goes into the dance but most importantly the HISTORY of the DANCE. Continued Blessing and Success to ALL.

[@elw7658]

I am so proud.. of you all.. Memphis Auntie..❤️🙏🏾💜

[@Mlzy.09]

Memphis is Legendary🔥🔥 support from the 🇬🇧

[@TheMegaParad]

Leave this up another year or two, I reckon ita blow up at some point. Jookin caught some real traction again lately

[@tnpoohjessica1]

Best documentary EVER! I am SO proud to be from the Memphis, TN area! This doc is so uplifting and inspirational for all of our youth who are faced with hard decisions and peer pressure from gangs, drugs, dropping out or getting expelled from school, the revolving door of juvenile detention or the county jail, lack of real job skills, & lack of quality safe educational environments. Jookin can act as the much-needed catalyst to spark a change in a young persons' mindset, an outlet & safe haven for emotional expression, & an encouraging supportive social circle to give you stability, trust, reliability, responsibility, and most of all self-confidence to do more, want more, and to become more! Kudos to the producer, director, & last but not least the INCREDIBLY TALENTED dancers. I'm ecstatic that all of the dancers & UDig Academy have been able to monetize their talent and use it to sustain themselves. All too often years later when you follow up with those featured in a documentary film, you find the subjects worse off, impoverished, in jail, or dead upon follow-up. Positive things are happening in Memphis! #MemphisTNStandUp #MemphisJookin #MemphisGangstaWalkin #Choose901 #SmileMemphis

[@lionofjudah7726]

one of the most realist documentaries I've ever seen. As a jooker myself in a crazy violent city I can relate to all of this. warping into a different world and style deep into the dance is true and feels awesome. so much positivety y'all. keep it up

[@rlhall40va]

I find this to be amazing! This is proof that no matter what evil is placed before us to keep us down we will create a way that will lead us out from the darkness presented to us. As Maya Angelou so eloquently stated, "Still I (WE) Rise!" Great job Ellis!!!!

[@benyahudadavidl]

As it is written... Ye are gods, children of the Most Most High G-d.... B1 Shabbat Shalom 👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🪶🌽💜😊

[@darkskindrake1314]

The way Lil Daniel explain Jookin will make a grown man cry😭💯🙏🏾

[@modestycarson2564]

Jookin creative feeling the dance. The narrator of this video I don't know if I agree with no other dance is like it. I grew up in the Bronx and it looks to me like the electric Boogaloo and break dancing evolved to Jookin. I loved it!! Like watching!! Better this than that.....like the young brothers said in the video!! So keep up the good work!!!

[@johnjoe5860]

This was how we spoke when we started B-boying we were 💯% into it!!

[@gmc6018]

Here in ‘24.. jookin is definitely legendary and a core memory from my Memphis upbringing. These were the coolest dudes around imo😂 love my city

[@earthangeltan4199]

HAVING FUN.....& STAYING ALIVE. 🤗 IT'S THE MELANIN FOR ME.

[@nonayobizness]

All this talent makes me so proud of Memphis! Lil Buck is the truth & has really blown up. So great to see Ladia Yates in this too. She's doing amazing stuff with the youth at L.Y.E.

[@binaryaftershock]

Growing up in Memphis we used to Jook after school in the garage or the alleyway to get are skills up. Hit Crystal Palace on Friday nights.

[@yeamane22]

Amazing documentary 🔥💯💯 Crunchy Black was an inspiration btw he’s what introduced me to the art of ballet🙌🏾

[@technibumpinnovations7680]

This was a nice Documentary about my city! I am just disappointed that TP or Grease Man and Lil Clark was not apart of this Compilation of the finest of what I call GANGSTA WALKING! I REALLY MYSELF WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF A SERIOUS MOVIE ABOUT GANGSTA WALKING AND HOW IT TURNED INTO JOOKIN!

[@faheemjohnson7048]

Mane They Jookin All Over The World Now 2023.🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@schuylercolley5920]

Wut Daniel said from 3:11-3:30 is the exact reason jookin entered my bloodstream the way it did and I'm now hooked, I'm talkin bout if I mysterious woke up with a mild form of amnesia I'd sware I was from da M cuz of the passion I have 4 this damn dance man, I can't shout da M out enough 4 this glorious blessing 2 da world of dance, I will 4eva be a die hard fan and connoisseur of da art ( oh yeah I can jook 2 ) however since I've never been 2 Memphis a day in my life my bucket list won't be complete til I get 2 go showcase my skills and bump wit dem kats mane, I'm single handedly responsible 4 puttin folks on game bout dis jookin shit in my town fool str8t like dat from Augusta Ga. baby holla at ya boy

[@mikebark7508]

that is what's up jookin been popping to me since 98 I'm from gallatin which is right outside Nashville and they still aint on it like they should be but keep doing y'all thing cause it's blowing up.positive young brothers and sisters doing y'all thing much respect and love from me... and fellow dancers

[@SadieMage]

This is an extremely impressive documentary! The angles, editing, cuts, expression of ideas, and all while capturing the culture in such a positive and upbeat light, while giving each individual room to be themselves fully. I will definitely not forget the name Ellis Fowler! I am subscribed for sure now! :) much love ! Great work! & on a personal note, Thank you so much for this piece of art. I grew up in this culture , and when I was about 17 , I got introduced to Grateful Dead festival culture , and I really see a huge parallel between Memphis underground culture and grateful dead underground culture. It’s like the gentleman said -it’s almost like church. -It’s spiritual! Thanks again! Cheers! 🙏🥂🌞

[@GEdd]

Omg, cant wait to watch this later!!

[@kds.5083]

I love jookin, I grew up breakdancing and mixing sliding with popping, and it takes all those elements and wraps it up in a robust ground-up design language

[@manga12]

ah thats fluid and slick as ice dope, a bit more house and ballet then regular popping, but not out out impossible to learn except for the soul that cant be taught it must be cultivated or your born with it.

[@spoilyagirl2]

It's poetry in motion 😮🎉🎉🎉

[@0liverr94]

Most underrated shit ever. I'm from California and all i watch and listen to is memphis. I'm watching this after dicovering a lot of different music from memphis and one thing I noticed is there are a lot of classic tracks from memphis that have hardly any views, but new school shit that's trending got millions of millions of views. For example, and no disrespect to Yo Gotti, but I always heard that song "down in the dm's" yea it's good, but got sick of it real quick, just wasn't the kind of music I listen to. But I heard his earlier stuff which most people probably don't even know about and I wouldn't doubt if the people even like it just cuz these times we live in are so much different. Listen to "Lil Yo - Creepin" that's what i like. 22k views, "dj squeeky - Trick I'm from Da Mound" barely 1k views......it's literally mad stupid how slept on memphis shyt is......they got my full respect though and I do believe if more people knew about jookin, these youngsters who grow up seeing nothin but gang shit and who is supposed to be their peers doing all this stupid shit, they grow up following their foot steps, everyone trying to be in a gang nowadays, nobody dancing and singing they use auto tune bullshit fucking garbage. ☠

[@0liverr94]

This only got 11k views😆😂😂

thanks... this is a great documentary... I hope I can visit Memphis one day.

[@dennisb57]

Put a Patt

[@neeuqamilam1170]

They need to patent "jookin" because I saw a lot of other cultures on video appropriating this same dance trying to put their name on it. They steal it and then say it's theirs.

[@carlosreyna4269]

Pls translate in spanish

[@injun6896]

I like the moves but young men gotta stop saying “it’s the streets or entertainment” we need young men to do more than dancing and gangin

[@highjumper205]

No Tudy or Gino???? Sooooo Disrespectful....LOL

[@KivlarEast]

With whom can I talk about the translation of this film?

Thank yaw ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
