This is a genre of music very rarely done to AMVs and I don't remember seeing many if any at all from all the AWA Pros i've seen in the past.
Well, it's not that hip-hop isn't used much, it's just good editors rarely use it.

Completely agree with that :up:
The best one I could remember is The Battle by Hito and Tyler.

your review for number 15 made me giggle so bad i spewed Pepsi out of my nose. I wonder how many people will get it (I feel old)

Ha ha awesome. I didn't think anyone would get that.

Cool! I won something without knowing.
Make me one of those AWA Expo staff awards!

One thing I noticed in this Pro Session is that there are several videos I think are highly deserving of awards but either don't fit in a category, or it doesn't have any competition for the category it would fit in.

that is a danger of pro... and one of the reasons that there is a third phase in the pro voting... category creation...
we will see how things shake out

I thought category creation was the first phase in the voting. At any rate, we can make a category for videos that don't fit into other categories. I'm in favor of "The Charlie Kelly Wild Card Award".

sorry, it is the first phase... i meant third as in it used to be two phased voting, we added a third phase at the beginning.
