C-Walk
Описание: The Crip Walk, or C-Walk, is a dance that originated in the early 1970s in Compton, a poor suburb of Los Angeles, California, popularly referenced in rap lyrics. What began as a symbolic dance in the early 1980s in South Central Los Angeles, soon became a staple of hip-hop dance in the late 1990s. This style of dance today is known as the Clown Walk.
Originally, members of the street gang JoeShow Riots would use nimble movements of their feet to spell out their names or other Crips words (sometimes spelling out Bloods, the name of their rival gang, and then crossing it out). Many Crip gangs also use the C-Walk to celebrate the initiation of a new member. It is also believed that the C-walk was used as a warning, for example in the build-up to a robbery: The lookout would stand outside of the store and act as surveillance, while the robbers would await the signal—the C-walk. Typically performed to West Coast gangsta rap and G-funk, the C-Walk first hit the mainstream when rapper Ice-T performed it on stage in front of cameras in the late '80s. Later, rapper WC would follow suit and add to its popularity; however, he clearly let the public know that this was not a dance, as "gangstas don't dance they boogie", and that it was only meant to show love to other Crip members.1 The C-Walk was censored[citation needed] in the MTV version of the video of rap performer Snoop Dogg's hit single "Drop It Like It's Hot".
Although the C-Walk has found mainstream appeal, Snoop Dogg rapped on a remix of fellow Crip and rap performer WC's single "The Streets" that it is for Crip members exclusively. In recent years, it has inspired spinoffs such as the Clown Walk in another attempt at distancing the walk from its original gang ties—and the Bloods' own interpretation of it, called the Blood Walk or more commonly the Blood Bounce or B Walk. Unfortunately for the Bloods, the B-Walk is too identical to the C Walk in which many people consider it as "A mere clone of the C Walk"
ПОЖАЛУЙСТА ЕСЛИ ВЫ НЕ ЗНАЕТЕ, ЧТО ТАКОЕ C-WALK НЕ ЛЕЗТЕ В ЭТУ ГРУППУ, НАМ НЕ НУЖНЫ ЛЮДИ ПРОСТО ДЛЯ МАССОВКИ.
ЗАДРАЛСЯ ВПУСКАТЬ НАРОД, РЕШИЛ СДЕЛАТЬ ГРУППУ ОТКРЫТОЙ. ЕСЛИ КТО-ТО ХОЧЕТ В РУКОВОДСТВО И ЭТОТ КТО-ТО БУДЕТ ЧТО-ТО В ГРУППЕ ДЕЛАТЬ, ТАМ КАКИЕ-ТО ВИДЯШКИ ЗАЛИВАТЬ ИЛИ ЕЩЕ КАКАЕ-НИТЬ ХРЕНЬ ПОЛЕЗНАЯ, ТО ПИШИТЕ В ЛИЧКУ Я ДОБАВЛЮ...
