Im da bess
'IMDABES'
What else is there to say? At TIP Sync during term 2 on Duke West 2k14. Benny's rag decided that they would preform a very original piece for their TIP sync complete with no actual lip syncing and a "woman" who was actually Nathan cross dressing. It fact, it was so original that no one had heard of it before (except for Benny because he was the one who suggested it rumor has). Despite the fact that the song doesn't deserve to be called a song by any means, and was described by unknown chach as the " worst modern art performance in all of history " and the fact that they did not win, it soon exploded in popularity. People all over the camp were singing the chorus and because it was so catchy everyone joined in at some point.
The way that a "IM DA BES" sing along is initiated is that someone raises their right hand into the air with their index finger pointed skywards at about a 75 degree angle. Soon after someone who can accurately do the base line starts and after a while there are countless Tipsters singing along to it. It is usually preformed before meals at Penn Pavilion or wherever large amounts of people are congregated, O Commons, K quad, etc
During the very first dance which was Neon rave themed, it was played to the entire crowd who followed suit with the traditional one finger salute ( Benny's rag must feel so proud of themselves). After the dance when everyone had swallowed the Sahara and then some, Rohan managed to get together enough breath to walk around the halls playing IM DA BESS on his saxophone, much to the amusement of everyone.
The lyrics can be found on Rapgenius ( with annotations from yours truly XD) and the music video on youtube in case y'all are curious

Standin' on the roof, lanyard in da air.
With some 4th years wit our fists up in da air
Yes we be the ones that win da science tournaments
Spend four thousand dollars with out even earnin' it
We got the highest scores in the land on our ACTs
And den we went to Duke West to learn how to make machines
We don't have to think to know we are the future kings
You know what, bigger picture we are the kings of the world
West da bes at watchin last year's TiPSync videos
Reece in dresses all that Booty Dew aw here it goes
West da bes at making sandstorms, American Pie
And our swag is off the charts, dat's a fact
WESTDABES WESTDABES WESTDABES (x4)
We Time Warp, when we ain't Warpin it
Our Penn Pav, it's got a dance in it
The end of the world, scoring all the high-fives
We foolin yall, you just, lost the game
Went to the east and they said that Vermon-ster mine
Jus fo lyin I threw that eastie on top of "Group-Sex"
Now that buckets Nathan's
