The Crip Walk, also known as the C-Walk, is a dance originated in the early 1970s by the Crip Gang from Compton, a suburb of Los Angeles, California by Crip gang members.[1]
The rivalry between the Crips spilled over into the world of entertainment, with the adoption of the gang dance by various rap music artists on the West Coast, who gave it its name, the Crip Walk.[citation needed] The 'Crip Walk' has become prominent on self-broadcasting sites such as YouTube due to the rappers' influence.[citation needed] MTV declined to broadcast any music videos that contained the Crip Walk.[2] In Westside Connection's song Hoo Bangin' the rapper WC can be seen doing the crip walk. Snoop Dogg (who used to be a member of the Rollin' 20 Crips) can be seen doing the walk in the opening seconds for his video Drop It Like It's Hot. Clown Walk is a variation on Crip walk. Unlike Crip walk, Clown walk is strictly just a dance, not associated to the Crips whatsoever.
