Krump Confidential

After tonight's dance battles, some video-turgy of krumping:

Basic krump - Crump in a dance studio setting. There's a very interesting self-hitting movement that's repeated in this video.

Rize Final Battle Clip - the quality isn't great, but otherwise this is an awesome montage of battle moments that really highlights the competitive aspect of this art form.

Rize montage - shows a variety of contexts for crumping.

"Krumping to dub" - this video juxtaposes crumping (including or maybe all shots from Rize?) against Dub music to fascinating effect.

Chris Brown (aka Rhianna's one-time boyfriend) is also quite the krumper and includes krumping in his concerts as well as in more off-the-cuff performances. NB: A google search for "crunk street fighting" didn't yield anything about street dancing, and the definitions for crunk seem to be a) crazy-drunk or b) a style of music--Southern hip-hop. It also provided this video: DW Street Fighter Remix
