Street interviews with members of the Harlem community, and their views about the popular 'Harlem Shake' video trend and infamous music by: Baauer's Harlem Shake
For the Record, only 2 people interviewed did not make the final cut. One because the microphone was off. And the other because they only spoke for 30 secs. No one was omitted because they did not fit the 'mold'. This is what the people who stopped to talk with us had to say. We did not 'target' anyone.

Videos shown to participants included versions from DizastaMusic, TheSunnyCoastSkate, & PHLOn NAN.
