Summary: catch it in its glory!
Comment: it is only a matter of time before the newest dance phenomenon krump hits the mainstream. it's have received screen time in one of those 'bring it on and the temple of ashkaban' movies, and it is a plot element in 'stomp the yard'.
it is required to see the form, raw and uncultured and beautiful, in documentaries like 'breakin/krumpin'". that way you can see it as real as the dvd viewing experience can make it AND see the beginnings of its commodification.

Summary: Old vs New Dance
Comment: This is what street dancing is all about. Not on style but more the energy that is pushed out of it. I liked it because I was once a B-boy in my youger days and started doing the new wave of dancing "Krumpin." For those that like street dancing will like this video. The battle of the old and new street dancing era. The best of the best street dancing at it's best.

Summary: The Rise of Krumpin
Comment: This DVD revolves around the old-skool dance style of Breakin (Or BBoying/Breakdancing) against a new upcoming dance style called Krumpin.
The storyline is rather mediocre, with two people making a bet as to which dance style would beat the other. The content however, goes rather in depth into the current image of the dance styles.
As you watch this film, you will learn the basic roots of Krumpin and Breakin, and how the battle styles differ and such. Well known Bboys such as Crumbs and Reun represent the Bboy team, and Krumpin founder Tight Eyez leads the Krumpin team.
Much of the film itself is based on the preparation to the battle, and how both teams look for crew members to join the battle.
The battle itself has lots of energy, with some mind blowing moves from both sides. However the difference in music and battle style made the battle hard to judge from an audiences point of view. If you only wish to buy the DVD just to find the outcome of the battle, I would not reccomend. You're better off finding out the verdict from another source since the battle is only a small portion of the DVD.
Note to BBoys/Bgirls: The international scene for BBoyin/Bgirlin is not represented well in this video. Do not expect appearances from any bboy outside of the US.

Summary: Transition from One Dance to the Next
Comment: I saw this movie earlier this year and really enjoyed it. I can't believe I could've missed something like this when it first came out, considering I know all the words to "Breakin" and "Breakin 2" from watching them repeatedly as a child. I didn't even recognize Shabba Doo "Ozone." My mother had to tell me. This movie was basically about a bet that Shabba Doo and Todd Bridges made in regard to who was better between breakers and krumpers. I enjoyed seeing how the krumpers have transitioned from this movie. I love movies about hip-hop, especially when it's true to the artform and Hollywood hasn't watered it down.
Cons: The dance-off scene, once the dancers were picked, was in a mediocre area. I wish it would've been outside or in a more realistic environment instead of a warehouse with all of these people who looked like this was their first time ever even BEING around hip-hop dancers. I was concerned that the krumpers could even get into character, but ironically, the breakers acting a complete fool helped. I would've never thought that the breakers would act so intimidated and defensive, but it made for great entertainment.
Pros: I liked the decision of the winners. It was only fair and realistic. I wanted to know why another man would want to take someone else's past nickname (Baby Tight Eyez) but I give Wild Boy the thumbs up for changing his name and showing his individuality. Todd is a pretty funny guy. I liked watching his crazy rendition of breaking and him and Shabba Doo go back and forth joking.
