Lil Wayne's long-awaited Tha Carter V dropped Friday, and heads were quick to pick out their favorite tracks. While the Kendrick-assisted "Mona Lisa" was an early favorite for many, another song from the album is taking over social media thanks to a viral challenge.
This time, folks aren't asking if Kiki loves them; instead, they're busy showing us how them shoulders work.
The challenge is set to the song "Uproar," produced by longtime Weezy collaborator Swizz Beatz. According to Genius, the song samples Bad Boy's G. Dep's song "Special Delivery."
Perhaps to fete the source of the sample, Swizz uploaded an Instagram video of himself doing the Harlem Shake to the song. This was, of course, fitting since G. Dep and Diddy made the dance popular in the video for "Special Delivery," as Vulture reminds us.
Another dance craze with the same name took over in 2013; that dance, however, was not the original Harlem Shake. In his video, @therealswizzz can be seen doing @therealharlemshake, and folks were quick to take notice:

'Tis the season.
Of course, the man behind Drake's viral glory had to get in on the action as well. Without further ado, allow us to share Shiggy's rendition:
