Saw some videos on Youtube about the "Blood walk"..?! Does anybody know where the difference is between crip and blood walk?

[edit] Crip Walk

I grew up in Pomona, Ca, and I can remember doing this dance in the 4th or 5th grade. That was around 1980 or 81. This style of dance was not started in the 1990's.

I agree. Seems that I saw hip-hop vids in the mid to late eighties with the same moves. 00:16, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Somebody wanna elaborate on that 'nimble movements of their feet to spell out' this or that, please? Kar98 22:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I grew up in Inglewood and South Central in the early 1970s. When I was in the 10th grade in 1974, the crip walk was around then. And what you fools call the crip walk now is not the crip walk.
If it was "around" in 1974, then it isn't correct to say that the Crips invented it in the early 90's, is it? If you have this on authority, or can post links referencing the Crip walk being around in 1974, then I invite you to edit the article.

I haven't seen the dance performed, but that photo series with Snoop looks like something out of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

[edit] Xzibit

I was reading the page and came across xzibit, are you guy's sure he's not a crip? I'm sure he would have gotten his a$$ kicked if he c-walked and wasn't a crip. He alway's has black on (Shotgun Crip??)--71.116.65.241 19:33, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

No, Xzibit is not a Crip, he has said it many times.

Theres an interview on http://www.xzibitcentral.com where he states he's not a crip. XzibitCentral 02:51, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Songs featuring the Crip Walk

Is it the song lyrics or they do it in the video? Lajbi 18:36, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Both. But mostly in videos. GoSu's C-walk is incredible. You should check it out at Google Video.

[edit] Crip Walk Censored

'The C-Walk was censored in the video of Snoop Dogg's hit single "Drop It Like It's Hot".' I just watched this video again, and the C-walk was shown, but Snoop throwing up gang signs after was censored instead. Are there different versions of the video? --Melissa Della 07:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, in one variation of the video, Snoop's blue flag was blurred out, as were its accompanying lines ("I keep a blue flag hanging out my backside But only on the left side, yeah that's the Crip side" was censored to: "I keep a **** **** hanging out my backside But only on the **** side, yeah that's the **** side") Slayerofangels 03:58, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I guess that means there are several censorship variations; thanks for the info. --Melissa Della 10:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

I reverted a tonne of vandalism. Not sure why this article is ripe for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.141.132.71 (talk) 15:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Wait a minute -- the crip walk originated in a poor suburb of Oneonta, New York? I don't think so. I can believe Compton, but not Oneonta. This is not exactly my field, but someone needs to look into this.

[edit] Section needs rephrasing

"Later, rapper WC would follow suit and add to its popularity; how a gang dance against Bloods, hence it became known as the "C" walk and "B" walk. It really took center stage when Snoop Dogg began doing it on-screen, and the rest is C-walking history. This information can be referenced on DJ Quik's DVD "Visualism."

The second half of the first sentence (after the semicolon) is unclear, the bit about "c-walking history" is in inappropriate style, and the citation should be made in the usual Wiki manner (using a footnote, etc.). -Richard Paez 24.136.34.159 05:07, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
