That was my first thought.

And indeed my final thought also.

C-Walking is Crip Walking... they spell out words with their feet... and when they spell a word with 'B' in (for Blood, the rival gang) they cross it out.

The Crip Walk is a dance originated in the early 1970s in Compton, a suburb of Los Angeles, California.[citation needed] What began as a symbolic dance soon inspired hip-hop dance in the late 1990s.[citation needed]

Largely composed of nimble movements with the feet, the Crip Walk had a variety of purposes including recognition, showing love and loyalty to fellow Crip members, and making a loud statement to others that the walker is a member of the Crips. Another purpose of the walk was to insult rivals (most specifically the Bloods), in which they would spell out the name of their rivals and then cross it out. They would also spell out their names, neighborhoods, or other words related to themselves. Crip Walkers would also flash gang related hand gesture (stacking) while performing the dance.

Pretty fucking dumb if you ask me... but I guess that's what happens when you do something crap with your life like be a rapper.

i thought the 5 way one was pretty cool tbh

[Lamp]

The people in that 5 way crimp look silly


Edit: not crimp LOL (too much Boosh in the membrane)

 

[Chronictank]

or

YouTube - head banging

YouTube - Most Basic step in Club Dance- "Step Touch"

I think thats Mac10 on the up in smoke tour and it might have a lot of views because he did it in new york when its mainly a west coast thing.

 

[BloodOmen]

Lol, I tried headbanging once.. did it for 10 minutes straight then fell down 2 lots of stairs in my mates house.

 

[pez]

I actually watched that step freeze dance vid thing. Now next time I get stuck in a club playing hip hop i can dance along!

 

[Bleeker]

[Mas]

It just looks like a wasp has flow up their trouser leg and they are freaking out. Long live headbanging, at least there is no reason just an urge to rock out.
