Description: The Westcoast "gives you wings!" The W hand gesture was initiated by the early 1990s west coast rap artists. Though some may have adapted it for gang affiliation, this gesture was syndicated and diversified through hip-hop generations and adapted by millions who originally are from the westcoast of the U.S. (mainly California). So, don't throw up the W if ya ain't from there!
