Krumping on YouTube.
We wrote about both youtube and Rize a while back (David LaChapelle takes klowning mainstream). Now you can watch a clip on Youtube in case you missed Christina and Missy’s videos.
Based on his short from a couple of years back (’Clowns in the Hood’), photographer David Lachapelle has now made a feature length documentary about the new urban dance form krumping.
“It’s a completely new way of moving your body,” LaChapelle says. “You can’t believe what you’re watching. It’s insane. You’ve never seen bodies move that fast. These kids are creating an art form from nothing. It’s inspiring.” His ‘discoveries’ have also featured in videos for Missy Elliott, Black Eyed Peas and, more recently, Leftfield .
To give you an idea, the trailer to Rize reads ‘the images in this film have not been sped up in any way.’
