106 & Park with Cali Swag District

Cali Swag District, 'Teach Me How to Dougie' - A lot of rap songs in the past few years are accompanied by a signature dance move, but none reached the heights of this 2010 hit, immortalized when First Lady Michelle Obama busted it out with Dr. Oz at a Washington, D.C., elementary school. Cali Swag District's follow-up efforts were derailed the following year, when group dancer M-Bone was shot and killed.  (photo: John Ricard)
