Rap Dictionary
Patrick Atoon
on the initial posting. I have taken them and added them to, or merged
them with the previous list. Where possible I have added quotes from songs.
You will find a lot of question marks, though. If you know more about
those statements, or if you know a (perhaps better) quote for anything,
please mail me about it. I'll add it to the next version. The same goes
for new meanings, or improvements on old meanings. New words are always
welcome; I see very little "old school" words, like "biting".
If you are asking the question, "Why this list?", let me quote T-Dub on
that one:
> If anything, people should be giving props to
>*anyone* who takes time out and tries to understand what they are
>hearing and what the rappers are trying to say. That's called learning
>and getting educated. It is also what some many 'real' rap fans
>complaining about too; people just listening to a song and not knowing
>what is going on. Just listening because it is cool. If more people
>took the time to understand the things they don't, perhaps there would
>be more 'real' rap fans instead of all these phonies running around
>with the flyest gear, etc. because it is down.

No need to make this post longer than necessary, so here it goes:
----------- The Totally Unofficial Rap Dictionary -----------
This Rap Dictionary is not intended to show the only correct spelling
of words; slang is mostly a spoken language an noone exactly how to
spell things. I have followed the English rules, writing out words
fully. Most verbs are usually written differently, though. Take for
example "cruising", which will usually be spelled like "cruisin'",
or "brother" which is often seen as "brotha". Some starting with an
`f' are often written with `ph', like "phat" or "phunky". And what to
think of a thing like "Doowutchalike"?
Where possible I have added a source in the form "<line>" -- <artist>
(<song>). Note the _a_, I don't mean _the_ source, since that would
take ages of debating. ;-)
Wherever you encounter "(?)" I am not sure about whatever I am saying there.
"???" means that I don't have that particular piece of information. If you
know more than I, please let me know.

The New (or Now) School - The middle; rap matures. Public
Enemy's second album "It takes a nation of millions to hold
us back" is probably the start of this era. Ranges from
1987(?) to 1990(?).

> 2) (v) have sex.
I've heard this used as a noun more than anything. I guess it would
in this case just be a person who does the above.
>front (v) Pretend to be that which you are not.
Specifically just trying to act tough.
"foul" was conspicious by its absence. Obviouslly it just means
bad, usually in refernce to a person's behavior.
"Giving up the nappy dugout" should be somewhere... Dont ask me where!

Hmm, thats new, never heard that term before. I guess I'm young,
I'd include almost anything from the 80's as 'old school'. But
like you said, theres alot of variation in this, no consensus.
>step [off]
> (v) Back away from a confrontation.
Hmm... "step" has been used in other ways. Certain kind of popular
dancing nowadays is called steppin.
>strapped
> (adj) Rich.
Havent I heard this used to mean 'packin', as in carrying a gun.
Come to think of it, I didnt see 'packin' in the dictionary. Is it
considered too mainstream to be needed in the dictonary? I doubt
there's anyone that DOESNT know what packin means.
>wack 1) (adj) Negative: crazy or weird.

I always get confused when people use this to mean positive. Oh
well, I'm easily confused.
>wet (v) Kill someone. "Now I gotta wetcha" -- Ice Cube (I'm gonna wetcha)
I suppose the etymology of this is that your are wetting the person's
clothing with they're own blood?
>word Agreed.
I always explained this to my friend to be the equivalent of saying:
"Those words are enlightened." Heheh....... Well, I thought I as funny.

This definately needs to be included. When I hear it used, it's meant
picking up women, flirting and talking with them, etc.

I agree with someone else who posted a few weeks ago that treating the
phrases found in rap music like the flavor fad of the month is
offensive. A lot of these phrases are part of the African American
community and existed before the advent of hip-hop. But I
also agree with T-Dub that at least some people on this net are genuinely
interested in understanding what the rappers are saying, and as a result
find the definitions useful. Either way the damn thing is floating all
over the Internet anyway. So it is now my duty to correct what I think
are a few minor mistakes.

This is purely African American culture here. This phrase existed before
rap. A "Mack" is a pimp. Macking is being a pimp. If you don't know what
a pimp is then forget it. A "Mack Daddy" is a well respected pimp. Don't
ask me whay some preteens like Kriss Kross call themselves Macks, but they
do get a lot of girls swooning over them...

I happen to know what packin' means, but I don't know if it is safe
to think that everyone knows what it means. Even the most basic,
everyday words could use some explaining to a foreigner. Take for
example Compton. So, to me, there is no _too_ mainstream. If you
send me a word you miss, I'll add it, because if you miss it, some
other people are probably missing it as well.

Break would be a significant word in hip-hop vocabulary. The Biblical

refers to the break in the record that is created by the DJ. "Beats and breaks."

Probably Jamaican, in which case it comes from the TV game shows, Master
of Ceremonies. Could also be Mike Controller. In Jamaican ska era, 60's,
a DJ would spin and cut the wax and an MC would sing or shout or dub
poet over it. That's the roots of hip-hop which were brought to NYC by
Kool DJ Herc, but hip-hop or rap was created in NYC.

When someone sez "Glock 9" the 9 is the model number ( there is also the Glock

O cmon, do you think that's how the word got into hip-hop? It
means/meant butt! The evolution into 'something bad' from 'butt'
makes ALOT more sense than the evolution into 'something bad'
from 'stolen pirates treasure.'

Glock 19 and Glock 17 are the more common model numbers (both of which are 9mm).
However, the polymer (not ceramic) used in the Glock does have a substance
deliberately imbedded in it which CAN be detected. The metal parts in
the receiver, of course, would always be detected.
The anti-gun media would've liked everyone to believe the Glock is a
"plastic gun" for airport terrorists and played up this myth.
