Look at the word. Let's break it down, kids.
Gang + ster
A person who is a GANG MEMBER is a gangsta. Being poor, sagging your pants, or looking tough do not make you a gangsta. A gangsta is a gang member...this should be obvious.

swoop-walk

THe footwork dance performed by Swoops (Bloods) to signal membership in the Blood gang. Compare and contrast the more famous Crip Walk. The Swoop Walk is slightly different and involves shuffling and jumping around, sometimes spelling out Blood or the local set with one foot while shuffling with the other.

The Crip yelled, "UHRIIIIP!" and in response the blood put on a red baseball cap and did the swoop-walk while throwing a B with his hands.

clown walk

The clown walk is based on the Crip walk but is much faster and more intricate. Unlike the Crip walk, it is strictly a dance. It is done by people who do not want to be mistaken for Crips, and it has different styles and moves. Other names include the "krypt walk", "clownin'", "cwalkin" with no capital c, "crown walk".

There are some moves in the clown walk that look like Crip walk moves, but it is strictly a dance.
