GANGSTA WALK, often referred to as: G-WALK , BUCKIN, TICKIN, JOOKIN, or CHOPPINis a street dance that originated in Memphis, Tennessee alongside “Buck” music during the 1990s. It is commonly performed to crunk music due to the particular bounce in the beat and the movement the dancers make to keep with it. Though it has been around for many years, much of the dance is still exclusive to the city and surrounding areas. Along with being a popular street dance, the gangsta walk is often viewed as a form of self-expression and relief from the hardships of living within the inner city. The dance can commonly be found in urban areas of Memphis like North Memphis, South Memphis, Orange Mound, Whitehaven, West Memphis, etc.
