<\/div>\n

On the first day of December, Lil Uzi Vert<\/a> \u2014 a rapper who can dance but is not known to make songs about dancing \u2014 introduced a new move to the cosmos. It was called the \u201cFutsal Shuffle,\u201d apparently a reference to small-side Brazilian street soccer, which is played with a smaller ball and last had a global cultural moment in the run-up to the run-up to the 2014 World Cup. Lil Uzi Vert has, so far, declined to explain the reference.<\/p>\n

In the dance\u2019s debut, Vert is decked in a tank top and white socks and standing in front of a dining room table. He starts wildly kicking out his legs in a style similar to \u201cThe Running Man.\u201d The instructions for the dance according to Uzi are \u201csuper easy<\/a>:\u201d<\/p>\n

1. Step out left
2. Step out right
3. Cancel out
4. Repeat
5. Don\u2019t forget a lot of hand movement<\/p>\n

The \u201csuper easy\u201d part was a lie, as you can tell from watching Uzi\u2019s frighteningly kinetic movements, and the torrent of \u201cFutsal Shuffle\u201d Triller videos that were released in the last 14 days that fail to keep up with him. All feature wildly different interpretations of Uzi\u2019s new dance. In the original video, Uzi wildly and expertly kicks out his legs with reckless abandon over a hyper disco beat. Grainy, imperfect, but still beautiful, every shuffle of Uzi\u2019s original \u201cFutsal Shuffle\u201d is filled to the brim with an unbridled joy. Then Uzi\u2019s recorded voice yelps the question on everyone\u2019s mind, \u201cAre you serious?\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, real life Uzi was and is serious. The \u201cFutsal Shuffle,\u201d in all its glory, hit streaming services on Thursday night. After a year of managerial reorganization, label troubles<\/a>, familial struggles<\/a>, release dates<\/a> that never came to be, and disastrous music leaks, \u201cFutsal Shuffle\u201d feels like a reprieve. Dancing Uzi is a happy Uzi and a happy Uzi is the best Uzi. Ever since 2017\u2019s Luv Is Rage 2<\/em>, the reclusive and mercurial Uzi has seemed to chafe at the rigors of fame. \u201cFutsal Shuffle\u201d may signal a new album or it may not. Regardless, the song does seem to denote that one of the most talented rapper\u2019s is back to having fun. There isn\u2019t much more you could demand of Uzi at this point.<\/p>\n
