Solution to ABDC Blowup Contest Week 5: Street Kingdom

Thanks to everyone who entered Week 5 of our ABDC Blowup Contest. Street Kingdom was our mystery crew.  Here is the blowup:
 The clue ("On a recent America's Best Dance Crew, they gave some mighty praise") alludes to krump, which is an acronym for Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise. Here is the original photo, from the Rihanna Challenge:

We had many more entries this week, with almost all of them correct. While there is still a three-way tie - Jai, JabbaJake, and PerezOverride -- several other people are just a little behind. Week 6 of the contest will be posted tomorrow.   Click here for the contest rules.

New Contest starting today: RETURN OF THE BLOWUPS!

Want to see more of America's Best Dance Crew? We're bringing back some of our favorite images -- but you'll have to look CLOSELY! In this contest, we've blown up parts of photos from ABDC Seasons 1-6. All images can be found somewhere on MTV.com. Your task: Name that crew.

Rules: This contest will go on for several weeks, and the person with the highest cumulative number of answers will win a Tshirt, iTunes certificate or other merchandise of his/her choice, worth up to $30. If there is a tie, we will randomly choose the winner. To make it a little harder, we are disabling the comments for the contest posts. Send your answer to abdccontest@gmail.com; we will NOT confirm whether you have the right answer. Please do not post your answer in on this site or elsewhere -- we want to keep this fair. If I find that you've posted the answer online, you are permanently disqualified from the contest and banned from all comments. Answers for this week's puzzle must be received by midnight October 15, 2011.

Here's this week's image and a clue with VERY DELIBERATELY chosen words: '3 minutes or less".  Happy hunting!
