People sometimes refer to their house as a "crib" in American slang, particularly within hip-hop and street culture, as a way to describe their home or residence. The word "crib" itself has a complex history, originally used as a slang term for a house or dwelling, particularly in thieves' slang, dating back to the 1800s. More recently, it's become a common way to describe a house, apartment, or even a place of entertainmen

I guess if your into the drug culture world, yeah, I've heard it said that way by potheads, or people that hang out with them. Its where they keep their drugs or sell them.

In Jay's defense I've heard a lot of people, especially at work, refer to their house as "the crib"! It's definitely a ghetto type of thing!
