Well, a crib is also where, for instance, Jesus was born. It is like a shelter for cattle and from cattle... to humans?!?!? It is very curious how some words adopt different uses.. I hope this helps:
crib /krɪb/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[krib] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, cribbed, crib·bing.
–noun 1. a child's bed with enclosed sides.
2. a stall or pen for cattle.
3. a rack or manger for fodder, as in a stable or barn.
4. a bin for storing grain, salt, etc.

lol yeah I know the word sounds so weird if you hear people say it. it just means that it's their home/hood (if you want to use more slang). I think that people find that "crib" makes them sound cooler but they hate being called a imaature child. At least thats what I think it is

Well, the term originated with very sub-standard housing for ladies who entertained guests privately as their profession. Then jazz musicians and other "hep" people used it from contact with and a certain level of respect for such ladies. And so it came into "cool" language, all the way from, at first, I think, San Francisco's Chinatown during the gold rush era. Anyway that's the earliest reference I remember.
