I liked it the first time I saw it, when it was called urbandictionary.com

There's a link I won't bother to check out.

one of the copywriters in my depaartment had to buy a book called "the hip-hoptionary". most embarassing purchase ever.

I remember reading this in 1996. Not lying.

because I've been looking for more creative things to call my ho's.

About 3 black people in the world stick to this vocabulary. Many I know use real words.

Somehow that seems to correlate pretty well with them having a job too.

Oh boy, this is wiki-based. I can imagine all the stupid definitions that'll ensue when this goes live.

I am shocked by how stupid some definitions are already.

Take, for instance, Vancity

noun
Vancity

Term is basically referring to Vancouver City, in British Columbia Canada. Vancity is divided into two parts, the west side and the east side. Westside of vancity is the rich side and the eastside is the poor side. Hence, east vancity is referring to the poorer side of the city. "Slangin and bangin' ain't tha thang to be, straight outta east Vancity, mean to be me" -- Phat Dawg (Underground Artist from Vancouver).

Um... "basically" referring to "Vancouver City"? Since the (obvious) submitter, "Phat Dawg", is from there, he should have figured out by now that the name of the city is "Vancouver". Moran.

Where's "BLING"?

Yo!, now some caucasians are gonna front like they are bruthas. I don't need no stinkin' book to tell me how to understand the nuances of the ever-changing hip-hop community that now emcompasses rural whites, latinos; and the urban Afro-American community.Fo' shizzle my nizzle!

GuinnessDrinker: Somehow that seems to correlate pretty well with them having a job too.

Kind of like D_I_A there, so do you guys think people like Sean Combs is unemployed and standing in line for a handout, because this is exactly how he talks.

Ha! That pic never fails to amuse! Thanks!

It's funny because it's true. Watch that flaming turd "You Got Served" (on HBO this week!) to behold the power of what's now referred to as "talking street."

Oh, and L'il Kim is fat. In a bad way.

Ah, I get to post this again. Gravy!

-Yo, pay attention
And listen real closely how I break this slang shiat down

Check it, my weed smoke is my lye
A ki of coke is a pie
When Im lifted, Im high
With new clothes on, Im fly
Cars is whips and sneakers is kicks
Money is chips, movies is flicks
Also, cribs is homes, jacks is pay phones
Cocaine is nose candy, cigarettes is bones
A radio is a box, a razor blade is a ox
Fat diamonds is rocks and jakes is cop
And if you got rubbed, you got stuck
You got shot, you got bucked
And if you got double-crossed, you got farked
Your bankroll is your poke, a choke hold is a yoke
A kite is a note, a con is a okey doke
And if you got punched that mean you got snuffed
To clean is to buff, a bull scare is a strong bluff
I know you like the way Im freakin it
I talk with slang and ima never stop speakin it

Chorus: repeat (2x)

speak with criminal slang -nas
Thats just the way that I talk, yo
vocabulary spills, Im ill -nas

Yo, yo
A burglary is a jook, a woofs a crook
Mobb deep already explained the meanin of shook
If you caught a felony, you caught a f
If you got killed, you got left
If you got the dragon, you got bad breath
If you 730, that mean you crazy
Hit me on the hip means page me
Angel dust is sherm, if you got aids, you got the germ
If a chick gave you a disease, then you got burned
Max mean to relax, guns and pistols is gats
Condoms is hats, critters is cracks
The food you eat is your grub
A victims a mark
A sweat box is a small club, your tick is your heart
Your apartment is your pad
Your old man is your dad
The studio is the lab and heated is mad
I know you like the way Im freakin it
I talk with slang and ima never stop speakin it

Chorus (2x)

The iron horse is the train and champaign is bubbly
A deuce is a honey thats ugly
If your girl is fine, shes a dime
A suit is a fine, jewelry is shine
If you in love, that mean you blind
Genuine is real, a face card is a hundred dollar bill
A very hard, long stare is a grill
If you sneakin to go see a girl, that mean you creepin
Smilin is cheesin, bleedin is leakin
Beggin is bummin, if you nuttin you comin
Takin orders is sunnin, an ounce of coke is a onion
A hotels a telly, a cell phones a celly
Jealous is jelly, your food box is your belly
To guerrilla mean to use physical force
You took a l, you took a loss
To show off mean floss, uh
I know you like the way Im freakin it
I talk with slang and ima never stop speakin it

Chorus (2x)

Yeah, yeah
One love to my big brother, big lee
Holdin it down
Yeah, flamboyant for life
Yeah yeah, flamboyant for life

(Big L, "Ebonics")

Actually, this is a pretty useful link. We run across tons of these words while doing closed captioning, expecially rap videos and MTV. I used this just the other day while captioning an interview with Russell Simmons. He was explaining the origin of "Def Jam," and said that Rick Rubin got it wrong, since the slang at the time was "death." It was hard to understand him saying it, but it was all explained by the entry for "def."

Oh, and to this comment:
About 3 black people in the world stick to this vocabulary. Many I know use real words.

It's not called the black people's dictionary, it's called the rap dictionary. Have you listened to rap lately? Real words it ain't.

Am I the only one that knows quite a few black people who wish hip-hop culture would go away, or at least not be so powerful as to over-hadow the voices of blacks who do not wish to be percieved as smack-talking idiots.

The Stuntaz are dope, I love the fact that they consider a pimped out mitsubshi eclipse a hot ride. Those guys must have been shermen on Mr. Brownstone when they bought them!

STOOPID!

The funny part is just how many of these terms are credited to Dr. Dre.

Truly an innovator ;)

Yeah, but ignorance sells no matter what the race.

Fugazi?

1. Find out the latest/dumbest urban buzzword (bonus points if you make it up while smoking reefer with your "dawgs")

2. Write a song in which you repeat said word about eighty times. Use your Casio for the breakbeat, no one will know or care

3. Rake in millions

4. You are now a hiphop superstar

It's funny that many of the business majors I know are really into rap/hiphop, since both business ed and the music genre currently seem to revolve around buzzword nonsense.

It's funny cause it's true, and both are treated with contempt by those not in their feilds.
