A few days ago, i got the chance to watch National Geographic Channels International- "Taiwan to the World" 3 involving a dance group about their journey in USA while learning and competing in music. I'd leave this Taiwan hip hop for another post!
What really caught my attention was those non-protagonist acts in them show. I came across Tommy The Clown from the group Hip Hop Clowns. Tommy is unlike any evil clowns that would eat your brains out from those 90's movies that used to scare my nights out..(kidding!). Tommy showed me them dance that I've never bothered to say "What's up" and the word "Krump"
That's right Krump is not synonymous as the famous low tempo dirty south hip hop sub-genre. They might be related though. Urban Dictionary says that Krumping is intended as an outlet for anger and as a nonviolent alternative to the street violence widespread in many of the areas where it is performed.
I'm lifted with the style these dancers portray for real. This is energetic and off the hooks. Ask Tommy yourself, he's been pioneering this since 1992. Word, I'm only getting the knowledge about this in 2010- No that's is an educational rift, I reckon.
All ya'all gotta do now is, de-tour yourselves to this youtube trailer. This is called Rize, Im Out!!
P/S holler me if ya'all dance like this, Imma' hit some production in them studio and get rowdy with ya'al on them streets!
It's not a trick/ It's a FLOW - It's a VIBE/ Everybody does it//
