A lot of people have asked over the years why my friends and I are always doing this one weird/funny/random hand gesture, so in this VLOG I'd like to share a bit of the back story on it, and what it's all about.

In my social-circle, back in high school, and now even to this day, whenever a person on our crew has received something of monumental value/achievement, etc;  for example, getting our driver’s licenses, a new car… lost our virginity... gotten laid by a new girl… busting a phat grind on a handrail and landing it clean (etc-etc-etc), we would give each other "The Hand;" which is done by holding out either 1, or 2 of your hands (palms down), and then proceed to raise & lower your hand(s) up & down, in a slow continuous motion, as if to bow down or to pay respect-to & homage whatever accomplishment in which the recipient of the gesture had most recently achieved, while simultaneously chanting a phonetic sound like that of a tribal, hip-hop drum beat, 1, 2, or 3+ times; dependent upon the level of perceived value.

For example: “Pa-pu-pu-cha. Pa-pu-pu-cha. Pa-pu-pu-cha. Arrgghhh fuck! You got your fucking DRIVERS LICENSE FOO! That shit deserves it!” Or, “Dayyyuuuuumm FOO! You got a new pair of skates! Yo, dawg! That shit DESERVES it! Pa-pu-pu-cha!”)

giving The Hand is our way of showing respect, love, & honor to one-and-other. Something we have been doing since around 1993/94/95-ish.

Hope you guys enjoy the vid. You guys deserve it! Pa-pu-pu-cha! Arrggghh fuck! XD
