Kids Get Crunk At A Talent Show For Foster Kids In Milwaukee The Darndest Things

"Drop it like it's hot." (Great reference! 2009!)

This kid, though, seriously. Bentley Green just fired his agent and is going in a whole new direction. David LaChapelle is canceling his upcoming Ryan Phillipe photoshoot and getting the old documentary crew back together, because Rize 2 The Streets has found its star. (Thanks for the tip, Keri.)

I find it quite scary how those cars drive by right behind him!

I doubt the veracity of this video. How do we really know if that is a kid and not one extremely talented and tiny guy sitting on the shoulders of another extremely talented and tiny guy, using baggy clothes as a disguise?

He's luring in that little girl like a magnet (2:08). Apparently his skillz go beyond the dance floorpavement. Rules.

That kid wasn't alive when Drop it Like It's Hot was relevant.

If I were the one in charge of posting this story to Videogum, my first choice for tags would probably be "Barbecue" too.

Thank You VIDEOGUM!!!
Can this kid really dance for 5 minutes? Apparently, the answer is EVEN LONGER b/c the clip cuts out... HOW LONG DID HE KEEP GOING??? DAMN!
The way the little white girl walked toward him mesmerized, I think he will have fun in his twenties.

I say we match this kid against the Korean toddler from a few weeks back in a no-moves-barred dance-off. Loser gets sold to Nike.

This reminds me of every single family gathering during my early childhood when I was made to do the robot, running man, and/or the Ed Lover dance for my aunts' and uncles' amusement. Me and driveway baby over here are not your dancing monkeys, Uncle Dante!!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I THINK you meant to say this kid is getting "Krump." Crunk = Crazy Drunk. Krump = the type of dancing featured in "Rize." Either way, this is awesome.

Is he one of the foster kids? If so, can Videogum adopt him? Seriously: he can already dance, so if Gabe just teaches him to sing a Johnny Cash song, he can give the "Folsom Prison" kid a run for his money. Everyone ends up happy.

Why don't those jackasses make the kid dance where they are at and watch from the street instead of having it the other way around.

This, too, was much more entertaining set to metal -- specifically "Curses" by Gay Witch Abortion. The singer started making some strange whining sound (2:07) just as the kid started making that crying motion with his hands (4:15). The sync was just too good.

Plus, I love how the little white girl at the beginning looks both fascinated and somewhat scared.

That's not a kid. He's a 37 year old man. And his name is Emmanuel.
