Rare Footage Of The First Man To Ever C-Walk… Henry ‘Crip’ Heard In The 1940s! Resurfaces Amid John Leguizamo’s ‘Chicano Crip Walk’ Debate!
"If you let the Crip OGs tell it, Crip walking originated in the 1970s amongst Crip gang-members in South L.A., but if you ask the old Jazz heads, they'll tell you the dance (then called Crip's hop) originated in the 1940s from the man it was named after: Henry "Crip" Heard. Heard was a double amputee who danced with one leg and one arm. His signature dance became the Crip hop, a dance he performed by hopping from side to side, backward and forward, and using his foot to spell out the name "Crip" on stage. As Heard's dance caught on with the young, hip, Jazz crowd in the inner cities, Heard's Crip hop became one of the most popular dances to perform at nightclubs and house parties. Atlanta, in particular, became the Crip hopping capital during the 1950s. But it wasn't until the 1970s when the dance became synonymous with one thing: L.A. Crippin'. The Crips, specifically the West Side Crips under the command of Stanley "Tookie" Williams, made the Crip hop a part of the Crips' daily routine. Soon Crips from all over Southern California were Crip hopping and, eventually, Crip walking. As the Crips began putting their own spin on the dance -- adding different variations to it and spelling out their individual sets -- it officially became known as the Crip walk. But it all started from good ol' Henry "Crip" Heard. | c. 1949." - Vasco
