Thanks to this meme you may have heard of called the #MannequinChallenge, Rae Sremmurd had what was easily the biggest year of their career. The rap game's most dynamic brotherly duo achieved ubiquity on an unprecedented scale with "Black Beatles," a song that actually holds up on its own regardless of the internet game that it soundtracked. But no matter who you are, you'll never be a true star until you dance on Ellen. Rae Sremmurd are now true stars.
Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi performed their number-one single with palpable energy. First, they led the audience in a mini-mannequin challenge, then they proceeded to promptly tear the stage up, hopping on Ellen's sacred couches and messing with the camera crew.
Ellen, of course, was into it. This was not her first foray into the world of the mannequin challenge either. During her evening at the White House, where she was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, she led the guests of honor (including Robert DeNiro and Bill Gates) in a challenge video that turned out surprisingly well. Watch it below.
In other music news, Young Thug has shared a music video for his JEFFERY single "Wyclef Jean," and is literally next-level on every level imaginable. Watch it right here.
