Hip Hop International Preliminaries: Philippine Allstars on top again!

Last night, 50 crews competed in the preliminary competition for the World Hip Hop Crew Championship at Hip Hop International. The top 13 crews will compete on Sunday night in the Finals.

Philippine Allstars had the highest score in the preliminaries for the second straight year -- 8.69. Though they were the last crew in an event lasting about 5 hours, the house was PACKED to watch their routine. Watch it below and judge for yourself! And, the next two teams scored nearly as high as PA -- Neutral Zone from Mexico was second with 8.61 and Sweet & Sour from New Zealand was third with 8.61.

All three US teams will move on to the World Finals. Poreotics came in 6th, SoReal Cru was 8th, and Kaba Modern was 12th.
