Our partner site iWontSTFU was lucky to get an interview with the “Dougie” teachers themselves: Cali Swag District. The hip hop group from Inglewood talked about their smash hit “Teach Me How To Dougie”, their debut album and much more.
First of all, congratulation on your huge success with “Teach Me How To Dougie”! When you recorded it did you have this feeling “yeah! that one could be it” or were you totally surprised about its take off?
We were totally surprised. We didn’t feel like “that one could be it” until we started to perform the song and everybody knew the words and the dance.
May 15, 2011 must be the group’s most tragic day. M-Bone was killed in a drive-by shooting. May he rest in peace. How did you deal with this loss?
It’s been really hard for us. It hurts a lot, and we miss him everyday. We just try to stay strong and move forward. Bone would want us to.
