The poor suburb of Compton in Los Angeles, often mentioned in rap lyrics, was notorious for its rapper gangs. It is also the place where the Crip walk originated. In those days, there were the rapper rival gangs, Crip and the Bloods. The crip walk or blood bounce, as it is sometimes called by the Crips or the Bloods, was initially used as feet communication signals between gang members.

It was the crip walk, which managed to enter the mainstream mainly because the dance was featured in a number of MTV videos by mostly popular Crip gang rapper members such as Snoop Dogg. As the dance was accepted by the general public, it later came to be known as the clown walk to differentiate it from its gangster origins. To further separate the dance from its gang origins, it evolved into many variations such as
the V, the Heel-Toe, the Shuffle, and the Snake and was generally classified under hip hop dances. Presently, there are signs that crip walk is becoming popular globally as music videos from Europe displayed
crip walk dance steps.
