Name of this dance move??

.

Not sure if this belongs here in General, or in the 'Music: Non Prince' forum, but this has been bugging me for a little while.

.

I was wondering about the name of a dance move that popped up a lot in R&B/hip hop videos of the early 2000s. It's hard to explain, but it involves a person in kind of a slumped stance, knees bent, and with one arm extended forward, and the other arm making kind of a back-and-forth 'hammering' motion.

The best examples I can think about are in this video at the 2:10 mark:

And I'm so sorry, but another good and visible example would be from this guilty pleasure of my 2ndary school years, at the 1:42 mark:

It just won't let me go whether or not this move has a name. If anybody knows, it would be great! Thanks in advance!

I don't want your rhythm without your rhyme
