A) They think it is cool.
B)It started out with the tough guys wearing pants a few sizes too big, so they had to start walking with their legs wide open to keep the pants from falling, and the little limp, to make believe that they are not walking that way to hold their pants up.

"Be-BOPPIN", thats the way kids in the Ghetto's in NY walk, they are immitating some "THUG" Rapper ! They think they're "Rappers"...was it accompanied by "YO, PEEP DIS YO" ? you have to walk like that to keep your pants from falling down, "Aren't you HIP YO ", Every phrase must begin, and end in "YO". It is very common for white kids from good professional family's in suburbia to portray, and act like a hostile inner city youth, who is impoverished, "It's COOL" !
