Highschool principals in Los Angeles banned the dance and gang members warned civilians against participation. Snoop has made his own references to the dance and is not shy to break into an OG shuffle in concert, at home or the iconic “Drop It Like It’s Hot” video.

The dance had enough of a reputation for MTV to refuse broadcasting any music video containing the crip walk, though this did nothing to quell the growing popularity of the dance.Ĭrip walking is referenced in songs like Kurupt’s “C-Walk”and Xzibit’s “Get Your Walk On” among many more. The older variation uses a lot less energy and space than the hopping, spinning, and coordination of the newer version.Īs West Coast gangsta rap became a global phenomenon in the ‘90s, it gave a firm platform for crip associated acts like Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, WC, and many more to signify their affiliation through the depiction of crip walking in videos and live performances. In the ‘90s it became customary to drag and position your feet to spell out your gang, your neighbourhood or the opps’ gang and cross or stomp it out. Every person had their own style of doing the dance, and even rival gangs created their own versions, take the Bloods’ B-Walk for example.
