The tradition
The Bankhead Bounce is a dance that originated in a neighborhood on the west side of Atlanta known as Bankhead. The dance was popularized by a song named "Wassup Wassup" by A-Town Players (rapper L. "Diamond" Atkins, featuring D-Roc) that was released in 1995. Within the same year, rap group Outkast released the song "Benz or Beamer", in which the song's music video features D-Roc performing the Bankhead bounce. The dance is performed by moving one's shoulders up and down with arms bent toward the chest.¶
