Notability
This does not seem like a notable original dance style but rather a neologism. The dance style looks just like popping danced to crunk music, or more precisely like a combination of waving, floating and tutting. Why is there no mention of these styles? What's the gangsta walk really about, other than a new name for popping and its related styles? - Wintran (talk) 18:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Ice skating is a classic "eccentric" dance act from vaudeville; it's description seems to indicate glides, and floating etc. Most regional African American heel toe funk dances can be traced back to accounts of dancing from 1850s and back to Africa.

I'm sorry, but Buck Jumping has been around the streets of New Orleans since at least the 1950s. Like the Blues, this is yet another New Orleans art form that Memphis is trying to take credit for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.9.226.64 (talk) 23:52, 27 June 2011 (UTC) As a native Memphian and a witness to this dance style, it in no way resembles "buck jumping". It is a unique form of dance that deserves to be distinctly recognized from the styles listed in this article.


 * The blues was born in New Orleans, no question from this Memphian. Memphis is simply where the blues got its first roll in the hay, its first job and its first arrest record before moving to Chicago to settle down and slowly evolve into cheesy, cigar-smoking frat rock.

Poor writing and vandalism?
The article seems to contain an individual's personal phone number, among a host of issues that begin with the first line. Needs cleanup, stat. 205.128.224.6 (talk) 20:15, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

"Perception of Gangsta Walking"
There aren't any cites for this section, and it seems very much like WP:NOR or even just made up. If there aren't any objections, I'll probably remove it. Tiraboschi (talk) 07:44, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
