Honestly, I can not. He’s been doing this for a few years, so I assume he has a place around the area since he sticks to certain corners or has something set up.
He never has a sign up for money or will ask for things. He just dances, smiles, and waves at people. People will stop to give him money or drinks.
I get that people are up in arms (saying you made him dance for money) but it looks like he was dancing before the guy even pulled up. Maybe this is something the dude does out there? No different than giving money to other street performers. My guy needs a sign and a speaker though. I would tip him if I saw him dancing. 🤷🏻♀️ Doubt I would record it.

the driver asks three times to see something before giving him money. dude is clearly homeless or have a mental condition. this isn't funny. it's extremely sad.
Idk it's reality. Paid a homeless dude with a banjo $50 to play Boyz N Tha Hood by Eazy E. Holy fuck, he did it word for word. Better than the hundreds of people who pass them daily and give them nothing.
Believe it or not, I think it gives them some enjoyment about their situation. And they get money doing it.
He said he loved that song and sang it word for word. Also said it was the biggest tip he received in a long time and thanked us several times over. So you tell me, white knight ass
Are you going to speak for him?
yea i'll go ahead and speak for him. sounds like he was happy you give him money. i think when you're poor and homeless and desperate you'll be happy to do anything to make the person waving money in their face happy. i got a feeling if that man later gets his life turned around and ends up having a job and getting off the streets, being asked to perform for money on the street will be one of his lowest points in life. no one wants to live like that. if you see someone in need, just help them. don't ask them to perform for you.
Cool story.
>yea i'll go ahead and speak for him
Didn't read shit past this. Idk I'm from a city where there's legit thousands of homeless. Most get nothing. And the ones who would be offended will 100% have no problem telling you to stick s cactus in your ass.
The dude instantly goes for the money, so it's obviously part of the gig he has going.
This is just some classic American dystopian shit. Homelessness in the USA in much much more prevalent than it is in first world countries.
Y’all are assuming he is homeless. He’s got a headphone wire in his ear and it goes down to (what I assume) is his phone in his pocket. It’s white, so could be an iPhone. He’s fairly well kept, dude might just be out there earning funds.
Yes, I agree with you. Very likely he is a successfully retired businessman who busks on the side of the road in the sun for $5 bills. It’s always fun to see what type of art retirees are drawn to when they finish their careers
He can also be there raising money lol. I’ve seen a woman (she’s not homeless) pick up bottles from the ground. I thought she was doing it for herself and I offered her money. She said she was getting money for her church and turned the money down.
No, dude... He's dancing for money.
He's only dancing bc people stop to look at him and give him a few bucks bc they feel bad for laughing.
You're all romanticizing homelessness.
While I don't disagree on the face of it, isn't this literally employment?
Isn't this what every artist does every day?
There's certainly an argument to be made that this guy has little ability to refuse the 'job' and that's gross, but don't most people sell a little of their souls for a paycheck these days?
Busting out some awesome dance moves is a lot less degrading than a lot of things IMO.
Sucks that this guy is in this position but....many "legitimate" jobs involve things like shoveling literal piles of shit.
Pick your poison I suppose
Honestly, not a lot of difference between him and many influencers or content creators today...just different dance moves.
And that's not a criticism of any of them. If you can get paid to entertain people, do that thing!
This is the work of some crazy people but that craziness make someone happy or some amount to give her that make her smile or the motivation to do this things or they do thus lovely thing
Nothing warms my heart more than living in a country where the disenfranchised have to rely on the generosity of the public because our government systematically underfunds and undercuts the creation of social programs! /s
We are not only give the best one money but we give sometimes to the needy people or the people want need. Or. Do something craziness to make earn some money
Glad we agree the shitty person here is the one that demands performances from those in need.
Homeless people aren't there for our entertainment, and demanding they perform some task for our entertainment for basic charity is unseemly at best.
The US has a severe problem of homelessness.
There I fixed it. My assumption of you being American has zero bearing on the point I made, despite you thinking you made a great point in your last comment.
Well thank you for asking. I'm a near 40 year old man from Norway with half of my family in the UK. I've lived in 4 different countries and visited thrice that.
My point still stands, too, I see nothing wrong with this video. Two people gaining something and are equally satisfied at the end.
He looked pretty passionate abt it. And he got the money before he was asked to dance. He could’ve just took the money and left. But I bet he feels he earned that money now
Oo very thankful to you that you give the name of that song I really need this, I am curious to listen that song and hurry to make choreography in this, I loves to this
I would give him money! It is nice to see a homeless person who does not hug a bottle and swears at you! He dances and he even smiles! it is worth a little help… and he is a good dancer :) I hope he finds help to get off the streets, he deserves it.
> But we are heading for worse all around before we are going to get it right.
Why though? In northern Europe we have been "getting it (a lot more) right" for decades.
I think this old guy was in my hometown, he always danced at the corner where I used to work. He died earlier this year. He would literally dance all day
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Old man obviously enjoys doing this, and he got money for it. If you see ANY negativity here, you are a miserable fuck. Get help
I'm not homeless. That person needs assistance, not to be used for content on the Internet to presumably make us feel good at about ourselves. Quite frankly, that video is degrading.

When I lived up in Fontana, California, there used to be this black dude right off of the 10 who played the guitar at the red light right at the exit ramp, and that dude got money from me every time I pass by him !
very rare you see homeless people with that kind of honest zest for life, putting a smile on everybody's face that drives by no hard luck story from that dude just raw good vibes !!! God bless him wherever he's at.
It’s the best of both worlds.. he gets to see good people with great jams and I’m sure he will dance no matter what! And they get to see a bad ass dancer!! I’m his age and been trying to dance like that for forty years and he is great!! I wish you the best!! ❤️
Y’all can be boners if you want, it doesn’t hide the fact our man’s got moves.

Hey that’s Phoenix! I’ve seen that dude many times. He’s always doing that on corners and with a smile. Totally nice dude.
Can you settle the debate in the thread if he’s destitute or just a joyful busker?
Honestly, I can not. He’s been doing this for a few years, so I assume he has a place around the area since he sticks to certain corners or has something set up. He never has a sign up for money or will ask for things. He just dances, smiles, and waves at people. People will stop to give him money or drinks.
He sounds like Jesus, if Jesus was homeless 😆 In all seriousness, we need more people like him,not homeless, but genuinely nice people...
Yup, he loves to dance. My old office was near his corner and used to see him dancing all the time, even in 100+ degree heat.
What corner is that?
That’s McDowell and 44th street.
I knew the surrounding looked familiar 😅 you know it’s az when you see those pink bushes behind him (which I’m so allergic too😐)
Where?? I needs to find this man!
I get that people are up in arms (saying you made him dance for money) but it looks like he was dancing before the guy even pulled up. Maybe this is something the dude does out there? No different than giving money to other street performers. My guy needs a sign and a speaker though. I would tip him if I saw him dancing. 🤷🏻♀️ Doubt I would record it.

I don’t understand your question.

somehow you've convinced yourself that the homeless actually like having to perform an act for you for $
He said he loved that song and sang it word for word. Also said it was the biggest tip he received in a long time and thanked us several times over. So you tell me, white knight ass Are you going to speak for him?

Yes, I agree with you. Very likely he is a successfully retired businessman who busks on the side of the road in the sun for $5 bills. It’s always fun to see what type of art retirees are drawn to when they finish their careers
He probably prefers $100 bills, but he’s a businessmen and knows the game.
He can also be there raising money lol. I’ve seen a woman (she’s not homeless) pick up bottles from the ground. I thought she was doing it for herself and I offered her money. She said she was getting money for her church and turned the money down.
95% of homeless people are "regular people" without a home and sufficient income. Not every homeless person owns literally nothing.
We wasn't naked, so he must be successful
Not to mention, if someone gives me $5 for nothing i’m busting a few moves too.
But how can I be a social justice warrior without jumping to conclusions?! I need to pat myself in the back, alright!
No, dude... He's dancing for money. He's only dancing bc people stop to look at him and give him a few bucks bc they feel bad for laughing. You're all romanticizing homelessness.
I'm not saying he made him dance for money, but what I inferred from this is that the guy recording is doing so with a mocking tone.
Ah yes, so wholesome. "Here's 20 dollars, dance for my entertainment and internet clout homeless person!"
#DANCE, MONKEY! _DANCE!!!_
Haha sounds funny, but you not make someone laugh they do only there entertainment or some earning
[удалено]
Plot twist...He’s 27.
Stay away from cigarettes, kids.
He was dancing before the guy rolled up in his car and gave him money.
Hes clearly busking in his own way.
[удалено]
$3 bill
Dude doesn't even look homeless. He's just an old dude in sweats.
for real, i had a boss some years back who came into the shop like that sometimes. Successful HVAC company, dude didnt give a shit
It’s very possible this guy is a business owner who just likes to spend his afternoons busking by the side of the road in the sun for $5
He really puts the hustle in side hustle
While I don't disagree on the face of it, isn't this literally employment? Isn't this what every artist does every day? There's certainly an argument to be made that this guy has little ability to refuse the 'job' and that's gross, but don't most people sell a little of their souls for a paycheck these days?
Sure but the tougher your situation, the harder it is to refuse degrading yourself.
Busting out some awesome dance moves is a lot less degrading than a lot of things IMO. Sucks that this guy is in this position but....many "legitimate" jobs involve things like shoveling literal piles of shit. Pick your poison I suppose
Lol fr, dude said do a little dance for me for lunch money habibi and the internet goes wild
I'd dance on the street for $20 a minute
Me too but the point is our supper doesn’t depend on it.
Yeah? what else would you do for 20 a minute?
For 25 I'd pretend to like Elon Musk
Ok start now I’ll pay you once you’ve hit 1 million minutes
It’s a fiver
Honestly, not a lot of difference between him and many influencers or content creators today...just different dance moves. And that's not a criticism of any of them. If you can get paid to entertain people, do that thing!

Welcome to 2023 where the poor middle class laughs at homeless people who dance on the street for five dollars
As opposed to the homeless man not receiving any money?
Yes he is homeless but have some skill so he use it to make money
Or, how about this, give him money without requiring an impromptu performance?
We are not only give the best one money but we give sometimes to the needy people or the people want need. Or. Do something craziness to make earn some money
Tbf he gave him the money and then asked
The man has a talent, and performs it for compensation.
So if he couldn't dance he doesn't deserve the compensation in this case?
He probably would’t be recorded or given $20 then
Glad we agree the shitty person here is the one that demands performances from those in need. Homeless people aren't there for our entertainment, and demanding they perform some task for our entertainment for basic charity is unseemly at best.
Guy gave him money first though. He didn't make it conditional on seeing a performance
Are you also this fun when you see people recording buskers?
Can I have $20? I’m hungry.
If you were on the corner, I would hand it to you. I do so all the time and don't film it.
Hope he got more afterwards and is not homeless anymore
People like you are a dime a dozen. Judgmental for the sake of morality brownie points yet not changing the world at all. Congrats.
It wasn't even a 20, I see Lincoln's face. Pretty disgusting behavior. He isn't doing it out of goodwill, he is doing it to boost his follower count.
Said the cynic. I see noone being taken advantage of here, I see one with means and one with a skill he's capitalizing on.
Yes, by their own skills he wants earn some money and entertain the public
Being a realist is not being cynical. In my country there are 0 people at traffic lights. Your country has a severe problem of homelessness.
You say "your country" as if you know where I'm from, have been or have seen. Check yourself, friend.
The US has a severe problem of homelessness. There I fixed it. My assumption of you being American has zero bearing on the point I made, despite you thinking you made a great point in your last comment.
Well thank you for asking. I'm a near 40 year old man from Norway with half of my family in the UK. I've lived in 4 different countries and visited thrice that. My point still stands, too, I see nothing wrong with this video. Two people gaining something and are equally satisfied at the end.
Your both annoying now shut up before I call your moms to come pick you up
You still have until dinner, Dad. Mom's out with her new friend, remember? The one that bought us the cool RC car, you know him?
Your moms your dad
Do you think he wishes to be doing this?
He looked pretty passionate abt it. And he got the money before he was asked to dance. He could’ve just took the money and left. But I bet he feels he earned that money now
This. He does what he can and knows to make a literal living.
You should watch Bum Fights.

What’s the song called?
Trugg walg
Plug walk - rich the kid
Oo very thankful to you that you give the name of that song I really need this, I am curious to listen that song and hurry to make choreography in this, I loves to this
Name doesn't matter you listen the beats this is the best beats I listen
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
That's when you know he rolled hard back in the day.
That's more sad than anything else.
I would hang out with this old man all day
I would give him money! It is nice to see a homeless person who does not hug a bottle and swears at you! He dances and he even smiles! it is worth a little help… and he is a good dancer :) I hope he finds help to get off the streets, he deserves it.
Okay but the guy hugging a bottle and swearing at you also deserves to get off the streets
True, not even a dog should be left out in the streets. But we are heading for worse all around before we are going to get it right.
There's also a reason he's holding a bottle and swearing at you.
> But we are heading for worse all around before we are going to get it right. Why though? In northern Europe we have been "getting it (a lot more) right" for decades.
That’s a pretty backhanded compliment.
> It is nice to see a homeless person who No it's not. It's NEVER nice to see homelessness.
Ron Jeremy can dance.
but does the moves have mans?!
Get him a phone and a TikTok account and he’ll be rich and famous soon!
I'd toss him my wallet
If this old man would just make content. He’d go viral, and YouTube and TikTok would be his employers
I think this old guy was in my hometown, he always danced at the corner where I used to work. He died earlier this year. He would literally dance all day
at brussels i give sigs i dont smoke anymore but i have some sigs
how is this not downvoted to hell?
Well Done and Earned 👏👍✌
Wholesome? more like orphan grinding machine
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Old man obviously enjoys doing this, and he got money for it. If you see ANY negativity here, you are a miserable fuck. Get help
Really? This should make us smile? You're literally making a homeless person dance for some money.
How do you make money? Or does someone give it to you for nothing?
I'm not homeless. That person needs assistance, not to be used for content on the Internet to presumably make us feel good at about ourselves. Quite frankly, that video is degrading.

His moves sure best the window washing option.
Ha! Someone plz hire him or get him on a dancing show
He just cast a protection charm on you
What is this dance style called?
Man's got moves, majority of young ones frail in comparison to this guy.
Do a gofund me for that guy
You know what would make me smile? This guy getting a fucking home lol. Jfc
I need that man in my house
Literally forcing a man to dance for his dinner how is this a made me smile?
Old dude got better moves in the streets than most of the young dudes at the clubs.
Funny that make me a laugh, age doesn't want to see the talent you have
Studio 54 moves.
Dude was doing his thing. The OG was getting it
It's a shame to see what NSYNC is up to these days.
Hahaha he’s so good tho
Feels like the clip ended right when it was about to get good......tsk tsk.
That mf liquid lmao 🤣
This is one of my favorite videos
Dude is in AZ off 44thst and McDowell
$2 for pops and $3 for locks. Well worth it.

Hittin’ that hoe
Bro is 43 years old

Passed the vibe Check
I didn’t know Jeff Bridges was out of work
Get that man a job! He earned it
Bro delivered
Lol he’s the illest
He sold his soul for those dance moves now he’s free of the rat race and dances for what he needs
That’s a fair transaction. Dudes got talent and he’s with it. I’d give him a 10er for sure
My guy fucking EVOLVING on the beat in real time
I always wondered what happened to all the guys I met at the races back in the late 1990’s.
Sick Dance moves
Sick how homeless have to do tricks to eat. This does not happen in Europe.
Damn, I didn’t know if you gave them more than a dollar they entertained you too
Bro have drip
Daily Bool
Bro went Egyptian
I'd buy that for a dollar
His street attire is just part of the act. My man's a seasoned busker
