Crip is a term derived from the shortning of the word "crippled". Only those who are multiple generation LosAngelenos who are have street ties know this. Without dropping names, the first crip of noteriety was somewhat of a cripple and needed a cain to walk with. The actual L.A. style gangsta walk comes from this individual. Some of the earliest pictures of these cripping pioneers wore heavy creased levis, penaltons, brims and cains. However contrary to popular beleif, Crips did not emerged before Bloods. All Black soldiers was Bloods (young Bloods), crips came into being in the 70's. Mainly from the eastside in search of Black leather jackets worn by the westside Black panther types. Consequently they were coerced by the powers that be to destroy the Black Power movement, by excepting the role as "drug dealers in the Black communities, as the early Bloods fought to stop them, thus the Bloods and crips fued begain. Although sadly enough both sides are advid grup peddlers among thier own communities.
