How To Give A Homie Handshake
Give A Homie Handshake. The homie handshake is only for cool people. If you're not cool - move on!

Step 1:

You will need

Step 2:
-
When
-
If you want to know how to give a traditional handshake this isn't the place for you. Go to VideoJug's 'How to give a great handshake' instead. We are going to show you the type of handshake you might give when meeting your mates, impressing your nephew, or when trying to be 'down' on the 'street'. It's not the kind you would want to showcase at work or a formal do - unless you are a rap star.

Step 3:
-
The basic
-
Let's break this down in 3 moves.
1. Go in for a regular handshake, palm to palm.
2. Rotate your hand so you are clasping the thumb of your dawg's hand.
3. Then slide your palms away from each other and grip the finger tips slightly before snapping them apart.
Keep practicing until the moves become smooth and fluid. Wow, you're looking cooler already. Now we have mastered the basics, 2-J is going to teach us a few variations

Step 4:
-
The tickle
-
Follow moves one and two from the basic: palm to palm, then clasp the thumb. As you slide your hands away, instead of the snap, finish by wiggling your fingers against your mates - just like you are giving them a tickle. Sound man, sound.
-
Step 5:
-
The touch
-
Complete the basic, but form you hand into a fist at the end. Tap your fist on top of your buds, then it's his turn to tap - just like the 1 potato, 2 potato playground game of yesteryear. Finally bump your fists together. Safe.
-
Step 6:
-
The power ranger
-
Ok, this ones complex so watch carefully.
After the basic, Bend your arm so your elbow points outwards and touch elbows. Bring your hands up together and grasp each other's thumb. Raise your joint hands to the sky. Separate them and bring your fist to your chest. Finally, stretch your arm upwards and finish with your fist in the air. Feel the force my friend
-
Step 7:
-
Make up your own
-
Now we have given you a few ideas, it's time for you and your bud to get creative. Personalise your hand shake to fit in with your style - but don't forget, if someone isn't familiar with your homie handshake you could both end up looking foolish.
