crip walking!!!
The Cripwalk is a celebratory way for Crips to brag and clown while just having fun, and even though some (like the writer) still honor the 1992 Peace Treaty between Crips, Bloods and Cholos from L.A., that doesn't mean that everyone does. That being said, many affiliates are extremely offended by those biting the style of the Gs and consider it very disrespectful. “My homies are out here dyin' and been dyin'- it's do or die city,” says Watts affiliate and emcee, Skanless. “It's not a toy to be played with. Do that around my peoples and you might get'cha jaw ate.”

Organized gangs and their cultures have been in Los Angeles for over eight decades. From the Cholos representing East Los and Zoot suits in the 40s, all the way to 2001 with what appears to be the largely popularized Cripwalk. However, many do not understand the culture of gangs, especially their deep roots in L.A. and the significance of their gestures. “It (the cripwalk) is part of the Crip culture,” says Tacoma based Locsta and MC Mr. Cix. “All these cats...even Bloods...Bloods used to B-walk – are Cripwalkin' and that's disrespectful to the Gs, 'cause they blendin' in with the bustaz.” Other L.A. based affiliates like WC have made similar comments about those biting off the culture of the world's largest gang - founded by Raymond Washington in late 60s L.A.

Most who risk doing the dance outside of the gang capital of the world may have learned of the Cripwalk by watching gang affiliates Ice Cube, WC and others do what they call the “Boogie.” Why Boogie? “Because gangstas don't dance,” says Dangerous Dame of San Diego's Southeast neighborhood. And that's a common response – gangstas don't dance and the Cripwalk, although it may appear cool and catchy when Lil' Bow Wow and other upstarts do it, the Cripwalk is much more than a dance.

Doing the Cripwalk is Crip culture. It's held in high esteem with Crips and can be equated to the routines of the elite historically Black Greeks and their attitudes and dignity when “strollin'” and “stepping.'” And contrary to naivety it's not all based on violence, but it definitely makes a statement. For some, it is who you are. “First of all when you're Cripwalkin', you're spelling your name and it's distinct. It allows others who know in the club - to know 'I'm in the club' you gotta respect me. As in recognize my set and I'm lettin' it be known who I am,” says Dame, who grew up in a predominantly Blood section of Southeast Diego.
