[edit] INtro talk

Pteron, could you please provide a reference for the following quote: "The first clown dancer was Thomas Johnson aka Tommy the Clown, a former spokesperson for Gray Davis." Amardesich

Minutes ago I did hear the above reported on the CBS Evening News. .... Moleskiner 23:03, 11 August 2005 (UTC) krump dancin is the only way that teenagers children and most adults get a chznce to get away from all the bad i n south central los angeles.this is a positive movement that is able to tal=ke young people poff the streets corners and gangs. Just curious, why does the first sentence say that krumping is "intended for African-Americans"? If it is, could somebody explain how and why on the page?

Not sure, but I think it got there through some unnoticed vandalism. It's definitely not true I assure you, so I removed it. This article is not in a very good shape and is subject to a lot of vandalism and personal opinions. Feel free to help cleaning it up if you have the time. Wintran 23:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

This:

"Krumping" should never be confused with "crumping" which is a slang term for affectionate cuddling between lovers. this muscular spasm should never be confused with dancing wich is not gay

needs to be removed. I'll do it. 192.59.23.211 18:37, 18 October 2006 (UTC) JHLipton

I am new to the Wikipedia community and was reading about krumping after seeing the movie Stomp the Yard. There is a sentence in the article on krumping that I think has to be misinformation. It provides a definition for the acronym K.R.U.M.P, calling it Kingdom. Radically. Uplifted. Mighty. Praise and linking it to Christian roots. Let me assure you as much as I know in my heart and know my God (Christ) nothing about this dance style is Christian in origin. If anything it is more so demonic and could POSSIBLY be traced back to pagan worship (i.e. voodoo or indigenous tribal ceremonies). The very nature of the dance is violent, showy, and flamboyant, at times even angry. These are not characteristics that I would like attached to Christ or Christians. I think that whole sentence should be removed from the article. Especially since the sentence behind it has nothing to do with it. It's like someone just wanted to plant something in the article out of nowhere that had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the paragraph. Dcar3 17:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Examples in music videos

The following were moved from the main page:

I've taken the external links from these per Wikipedia:External links. Of course, without these links there isn't much point in this list... Can come up with some compelling reason why this list is required? brenneman(t)(c) 07:46, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it violates any rules stated in the External links page and is relevant to the article. It needs to be there because the only way to understand what krumping is is to see it in action. I think it's a very important part of the article and needs to be part of the actual article. These examples also show how krumping has actually influenced pop culture. They either need to be posted in the article or each one needs to be written about. - Zack

Krumping reminds me alot of an pretty old Music Video From The Prodigy "Voodoo People" from 1995. Is the video inspired by real Voodoo Dancers ? What do you think about the connection of Voodoo/Religion to the Krump Movement? -Stefan

[edit] Spelling

(IchBin 07:18, 18 December 2005 (UTC)) Corrected all the spelling errors in the article. ayo this is big cameo, check it this is how it is, The originators of krumping is: Tight Eyes Lil C and Big Mijo. Krump stands for:

Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise

It is a Christian dance and is used for radically uplifting gods kingdom and praising his name in a mightly way. It started in 2002, on the west coast of L.A. The story goes... Tight Eyes And Big Mijo wanted to become clowns In the Tommy the clown academy, but they were to ruggard and raw for clowning(Another dance formed in L.A, created by tommy the clown. Which involves Stripper dancing, Popping and entertainment a.k.a acting like a clown.)but than Big Mijo got told that he was to ruggard for clowning. So Big Mijo, went over to Tight Eyes house to dance and stumbled over this new dance, which later on was to be called Krump (thanks to Lil C) and from there Most of the foundation moves you see in krumping originates from these three guy Tight Eyes, Big Mijo and Lil C.

Krumping has roots to Africa and tribal war dancing, Black civil history and riots of Rodney King, So the emotions and style of dancing will reflect these historical events


The history section needs to be edited or deleted as it is entirely about the history of clowing, not krumping. Why is it even there?

[edit] cross reference

There's got to be a connection between clowns, "Lil Homey" and "Big Homey", and In Living Color's "Homey the Clown". I don't know how to draw this connection in the article, though.

The grammar is still really bad, but I don't know enough about the subject to fix it.

[edit] Contradiction

Begining says facepaint is coll within krumping, Last say it is not

face paint isn't just a way to stick out while they dance it's how they express their selves!


[edit] International Krump Movement

Due to the WikiProject Trivia Cleanup, Many articles on Wikipedia have too much trivia, and need to be shortened (or just removed altogether). This project focuses on finding, tagging and cleaning articles with too much trivia. Trivia sections shouldn't always be removed altogether - they may just require shortening.

This whole part of the section was deleted? Although everybody within Australia has had their fair share in doing their best to push it forward, some still try to claim to be the one soul person who brought it to Australia. It truly has been a shared responsibility and the true pioneers within Australia are those who accept that fact and keep pushing it forward rather than loosing the meaning of KRUMP. Most have excelled in KRUMP but there are still some who try to take fame rather than help the movement. PinoyBoy has become an ambassador within Australia and although he has tries to stay away from the internet, publications, and events (because of the notion of misinterpretations and the fact that others see this as trying to claim something), his presence is widely sought after by various KRUMP families as well as event managers/producers of various dance shows/competitions.

Leaving this: Australia: The earliest indication and traces of KRUMP in Australia was in 2002. It was demonstrated at a small talent show, based in Melbourne, by Sherwin Glen AKA PinoyBoy. During this show, a basic style kill off was shown. The start of KRUMP in Australia had begun but there was much improvement to be done; before it was to be seen as what KRUMP has become today. In 2003, Sherwin Glen showcased the first Rugged Arm Swings to be seen in Australia. In the famously distributed online clip "Old School KRUMP", we see how most are not ready for the expressive dance style, when those performing with Sherwin Glen seem to become frightened and troubled, during the second half of the clip.

This points to one person who comes across as the one person who brought KRUMP to Australia. It has been a shared responsibility
