  • BUCK son!!!

  • the perfection of body movements with life

    showing that whatever mixture of genera

    everything can be beautiful and well appreciated!

  • Beautiful

  • thats messed up that they got some white girl for the black swan role

  • @OliOliLim: This is an interpretation of The Dying Swan (originally The Swan), a 1905 ballet choreographed Mikhail Fokine for Anna Pavlova. And yep, the music is Camille Saint-Saëns's Le Cygne from Le Carnaval des Animaux. It's not related to Swan Lake at all. Pretty awesome though huh! :)

  • mute this and play some PROJECT PAT!! i reccomend RAISED IN THE PROJECTS which is appropriate cuz its already a buck n jook track. no offense to the beautiful cello. i love classical sounds too!

  • Why is this called Dying Swan?? Is that what lil Buck named his choreography because the piece is The Swan from carnival of the animals. Beautiful cello solo. Why is it tagged black swan white swan and Swan Lake. I'm confused. Is this being ignorant or is it actually deliberate to have these tags because to be honest I can't really see the association

  • Amazing.

  • THIS IS ARTTTTTT!! AWAKEN TO WHAT IS!!

  • Glad to see Memphis represented positively....Good job. Keep it up
