'Harlem Shake' Baauer Produced Song Originally Jim Jones'? Rapper Says 'Harlem Shake' Was His Record For Pauly D's Album [VIDEOS]

Rapper Jim Jones is claiming that Baauer's "Harlem Shake" is actually his! Jones was on the radio with Hot 97.3's Jenny Boom Boom and he disclosed that it was actually his record and it was intended for "Jersey Shore's" Pauly D. Jones explained that he recorded lyrics over the "Harlem Shake" beat as a song for Pauly D's album, but it never made it past the studio.

Baauer is the producer behind the music that is currently being used on all the YouTube "Harlem Shake" videos. Jones told Jenny Boom Boom, "Actually, that record was mine for a year, I had that record a year ago and I never... It was supposed to be for Pauly D's album and we never did nothing with it," the rapper said. "When I started to hear the 'Harlem Shake' and heard the beat, I was like damn, I had the record for a year, so I just put the record out." Jones goes on to say, "I been had that record before anybody even thought about that record. It was a record for Pauly D's album from 'Jersey Shore.'"
