Posted byaG: If you choose to see everything that is
critical of hip-hop having to do with race than that is your issue. If
you haven't seen anything critical of rock trends here then you really
haven't looked around enough. As for rock slangs, I'm sure I could come
up with a few but can you think of a rock slang as silly as "bling-bling"?
Also you are saying that all blacks and hispanics listen to and subscribe
to the hip-hop culture? That's a pretty broad generalization. And I would
have no problem telling someone to their face that says "bling-bling" or
"ill" etc to my face how silly it is. This top 5 was a tongue in cheek
jab at lame slang terms from hip-hop that have spilled over into mainstream
culuture not a race since I don't generally put people into a box based
on their race but form an opinion based on who they are as individuals.
But if you want to see racism and predujice in everything then that's your
option but there is a difference.
Posted byWhat's
the point of this article.: Trent, tongue in cheek can be appreciated
as long as you can spread the wealth. My only point is how many ridiculous
rock slang articles have you read here? I'm not, and if you read my comments
in my previous post, calling the writer a racist. I am saying that he is
predujiced against blacks. Hip-Hop and it's language is a culture, a culture
that was created by black's and latino's. If you are to jab at the language
that culture inspires, how are you not jabbing at the people that use it.
They are obviously the creaters and users of the slang. If you were to
criticize my use of language I would consider that a personal attack, anyone
would. Also, look at the writer's response, he was completely serious even
if he was trying to be humerous. aG - wow, you scream foul at the generalizations
made about you, yet you turn around in the same paragraph and generalize
about hip-hop. "I'm supposed to respect a style of music and sub-culture
that promotes crime, degradation of women, and racism? Not gonna happen"
do you really believe that all hip-hop follows this course. Have you listened
to De La Soul, Tribe, Common, Talib Kweli, El-P and/or Company Flow, The
Roots etc... There is a lot more to hip-hop than what you've heard on the
radio. Much like Rock & Roll most of the true artist lay under the
radar of radio. Also, I have heard all of these artists at one time or
the other use these terms in either their music or interviews. Lastly,
the problem people have isn't that these terms relate only to Hip-Hop,
but rather they are terms that are used in everyday life. Slang isn't defined
by music, you said it yourself, it's cultural...please explain what's the
culture behind the creation and propogation of hip-hop. My only comment
to you is go outside right now, find some hip-hop fans and tell them to
their face how stupid/lame these sayings are. Then come and write your
next article with a the one finger that isn't broken. Yo!
Posted bywlg: I know! How about you be creative and
write an article that DOESN'T somehow manage to incorporate Missy Elliot?
I'm sure Missy would be flattered that you have a crush on her, but jesus
christ, give it a rest already.

led: This rant seems to be treading on the
"Tuning Out: Why Radio Sucks!" ground. Mainstream hip-hop(though I hate
to call it that, since it is all just pop), has decayed the soul of the
art(And yes, to some it is art). Hip-hop is like rock, the amount it gets
played on the radio is directly proportional to how much it sucks, for
the most part. It is not truly a "sub-culture that promotes crime, degradation
of women, and racism", it just makes the most money that way.

Jesse Jackson Sharpton: No Trent you can not have humor at the
expense of the fine young men of hip-hop providing a postive rolemodel
for young African Americans. This is racist filth. Who cares if hip-hop
provides the stupidest slang terms, if you since anything out made by African
Americans then you must be a racist! How dare these redneck cracker racists
say anything bad about the positive hip-hop culture! We're a minority we
are allowed to have double standards and be hypocrits. In America it is
only ok to hate white cracker males. Get that in your head you racist,
nazi, kkk loving, pasty fast white devils! Country slang isn't as funny
as Hiphop slang but we did borrow ye'all from them.
Posted byTrent: See, I wasn't gonna post anything, but
now I've got to...take a look at the article. The writer's not been serious.
It's a light-hearted jab at hip-hop, and reasonably funny. Maybe you guys
need to take the article (and yourselves) a little less seriously.
Posted byaG: Love the attacks and the "generalizations"
thrown at me since I don't subscribe to hip-hop culture or slang. It has
nothing to do with race, but a sub-culture that one race is a predominant
member of. I'm supposed to respect a style of music and sub-culture that
promotes crime, degradation of women, and racism? Not gonna happen but
go on with your "blind" attacks on me and the Limp Bizkit, video games,
comments. I find the hypocrisy funny. But I will say take a good look in
the mirror before you toss out accusations. You may have one finger pointed
at me, but you have three pointing back at yourself.
Posted byaG: Sounds like you are the one with race
issues "What's the point". It's not about race it's cultural. If you can't
see the difference then you are the one with the problem, yo!
Posted byWhat's
the point of this article.: I won't scream racist if you'll agree
to the fact that you're directly attacking hip-hop and the language that
permeates the music. You mention the fact that you could've attacked country
and the slang that surrounds that music, but you didn't. I'd be willing
to bet that you've never even paid attention to or thought twice about
country music slang. Why? Well because the vast majority of country music
is performed by white artists. Don't be so ignorant as to believe that
you disliking the way people talk isn't a form of prejudice. I don't know
if your a racist or not, and I really don't care, but I do think your prejudiced
against blacks, their music and their slang. Otherwise you would have included
"sweet" in your splurb. And a note to hahhahah you are in fact a blantent
racist. Next time voice your view in a clear concise arguement and someone
may value what you have to say. Oh, and next time your playing your limp
bizkit album bitching about hip-hop, remember where it comes from. Don't
hate the playa, hate the game.
Posted byAK~47: Just because the level of education in
the previous posts far extended your reach of comprehension. Does not mean
that you have to call anyone an idiot. Why not tell the people what you
think about the "ARTICLE" instead of trying to make yourself look like
a bigger idiot and try to defain the people that are simply stating their
opinions on the SITUATION at hand. So I am going to bring it down a tad
we bit and say "F*CK YOU, and HAVE A NICE DAY"
Posted byhahhahah: AK-47 at least you got one thing right,
you're an idiot.. yo!
Posted byhahhahah: who wrote these pro hip-hop bs posts?
twelve year olds? go back to the mall you idiots
Posted byAK~47: Oh WOW, that must have been the MOST SINGLE
idiotic article I have ever read. In fact I would go to the lengths of
dubbing myself idiotic for even reading the entire article. "understand
your roots" Thanks for that very noble post. I could copy and past it in
this 1 1/2" box here and it would fit my position like a glove ( oops used
some slang there I hope I don't end up on a top 5 list for that one ) Whoever
wrote this article, I hope that you understand that you went to great lengths
to make yourself a righteous pompous. Good day and stick to video games.
Posted byunderstand
your roots: These terms, predominately used in hip-hop,
are no different than the slang used in blues,(the main root of modern
music), Rock and Roll, pop music, Heavy Metal and jazz. If all of you ONLY
listen to classical music, then I could understand an iota of angst, but
that's where the buck stops. I agree that more intellectual slang has been
created elsewhere besides hip-hop, but that doesn't make it any less relevent.
Slang is merely a sign of the times from social group to social group,
it has existed as long as spoken language and will continue to evolve,
so I guess you're just going to have to deal with it...oh, was that slang.
Yes it was.
Posted byruru: who wrote this article? A twelve year
old?
Posted byj: "you should burn in hell for that, you
twerp"... anyone else find the comedy in such an absurd statement?! as
for 'slang' words in the dictionary: any word can be used as slang. just
because it exists in a dictionary with a true definition does not mean
you won't find it used in other ways as slang. a great example is, as 'your
mom' said, the word gay (is that censored? should i type "g-ay"?), which
means happy- see thesaurus.com for more synonyms- but is used, especially
among 12-17 year olds, to mean stupid, dumb, lame, if you will. that's
slang, even though you'll find it in the dictionary. sticking with the
glbtia references, how about the word queer? means weird. it's in a barbra
streisand song for pete's sake. yet it's used as slang. 'your mom' may
be angry, verbose, and prone to obscenities, but he (well, she, i suppose?)
certainly has a point.
Posted byjenn: since when is 'drop' hip hop slang? it's
usually used pertaining to rock.
Posted byYOUR
MOM: you know the most ridiculous fu-cking
slang i'm seeing on this dumb ass message board? the use of g-ay and h-omo.
are you fu-cking kidding me? do you know what g-ay means? it means happy,
you morons. joyous. delightful. damn that sh-it is so sweet! so nice! so
cheerful! yeah, that makes a hell of a lot of sense. know what h-omo means?
means the same. you're ALL h-omos, did you know that? h-omo fu-cking sapiens
you fu-cking idiots. jesus christ get a fu-cking dictionary. you all use
your own slang, deal with it or go fu-cking send a letter to your damn
congressman. i mean come on, open your eyes. urban culture just like any
other culture has its own dialects or accents (depending on the community)
and its own culture, language, styles, everything. DEAL WITH IT. fo shizzle
ma nizzle sounds rather silly, but so be it. stop your whining and grow
the fu-ck up, maybe try going to your local community college and taking
some fu-cking writing courses. fu-ck you, and your cat.

Posted byAliceCooperette: Rap the last new thing in the past 20
years? What about "new wave", techno, and industrial? Also, I'm sure the
guys who composed specifically for the synthesizer fit in there someplace.
Posted byDeadSun: Your post name says it all--- for GirlFromMars.
That post scales new heights in musical/cultural obliviousness and absurdity.
Posted byGirlFromMars: The truth is that rap is the last new
thing that happened in music for the past 20 years. And please don't say
grunge. I am not American, so this might be why the slang doesn't annoy
me. Not all rap music is good, but I believe that it is much more interesting
than most of today's contrived rock music. All of your comments about the
slang or the music must be exactly the same as the comments parents made
for rock 'n' roll in the 50's. I don't want to say it's about race, but
from reading all these posts it seems to me that you feel threatened by
black culture in general, not just the slang. And what's that crap about
the slang belonging in the streets and not in the music? If the people
that make the music are from the streets, they should express themselves
as they best see fit.

Rover: I'll clear that up. In the dictionary,
Lame (as a noun): Someone who doesn't understand what is going on. And
(as adjective): Pathetically lacking in force or effectiveness. Not slang,
guys. U can call SLIPKNOT lame & u wouldn't be wrong at all.

Posted byShayn: I think the most ill-used word today is
Rap. Rap is supposed to be about someone "rapping" on a subject, talking
about what they're thinking. Lots of brainpower involved. I don't see much
out there. There's a difference between rapping and the inability to sing,
so you talk, or mess up sound like Nelly and Missy Elliot.
Posted byMr.
huh? saying, "My Generation Sucks!": I myself agree that the word "gay" is
the most incorrectly used word out there today.
Posted byPaul: Doesn't really matter WHAT words you use
or if it's annoying to you or whatever... It's how you say them and what
you mean... I grew up around black hip-hop heads for my entire school career,
and I slip into that "lame slang" once in a while. I don't look down on
myself for doing it and I don't look down on others for doing it. They're
expressing themselves in a way they know best. Whatever, you know? It doesn't
matter. In fact, I think the terms "lame," "gay," and "boring" are FAR,
FAR more irritating than any words used in predominant slang today. Admittedly,
I find it hilarious when I use stupid words satirically or ironically in
some kind of humorous context. But goddamn... I cringe when I hear someone
use it casually like it ISN'T absolutely moronic.

"ghetto" or act as if -izzle is an actual suffix. It's also a pain in the
ass when things are purposely misspelled just to be cool. I blame this
all on rap. Never has there been something that has destroyed the intelligence
of youth. Unfortunately, there was a story on how someone tried to kill
a few rap stars with a gun, but the bullets missed them. When will rap
die from the mainstream?
