Aight i thought it'd be about time i make my first post instead of leavin' this thing idle...
i'll try to keep this blog a bit less spam infested like my last Xanga and will mainly be focused around my primary interests in hip-hop, crip walk, and mixing cocktails
Here's a bit of a history lesson on C-Walk
The crip walk originated in Los Angeles in the 70's. The bloodz and local cholo gangs each have their own way of doing it. The crip walk was a way of physiclly showing your allegiance to your crip set. In areas of high gang influence doing the crip walk can get you into major trouble with local anti-crip gangs as well as the crip gangs themselves if you're a "poser". Even though the so-called truce of 1992 is still in effect, the bloodz and crips still fight today. So be careful where you do what ya do.
One thing many people misunderstand is that c-walk is not a dance, it's a way of throwin' or reppin' your set and marking your territory. The actual "walk" should form your clique's sign - pitchforks, six points, and upside B's, then after your set is tossed, it should spell your nick name, and then your rank in society. A true c-walk is not taught, it's acquired through "knowledge", practising it yourself, and then constructing your own distinct styles and moves.
Throughout the years c-walk travelled to the East Coast and even went a bit mainstream when all these RnB artists like Jagged Edge started doing it. A bunch of rappers such as Snoop Dogg then made a huge diss on them all and after that it stopped flowing mainstream for a while haha
Thats all from me for now. i got exams all through the next week so until then, i'ma out.
Peace~
