Vernacular 101

I've noticed as I get older, I like the stupider music out on the hip hop radio. folks like Brook Valentine and Fat Joe are slowly making me talk more stupidly. Here are some of the favorite recurring themes:

1. Money ain't a thing:
just cause we're rich now doesn't mean we're no longer ghetto or gangster

2. We walk around the metal detectors:
Brooke Valentine repeatedly makes this statement letting us know true thugs don't obey normal laws and carry their guns into clubs. great.

3. We still walkin around metal detectors:
love that Valentine girl

4. Gangsters don't dance, they boogie:
Need I explain?

5. Ice:
means diamonds, and lots of it.

6. Benzo, Lexo
The cars the rappers like to sing most about.

7. Shorty:
apparently, this is the new word for Beeatch

8. Skeet:
apparently, this word somehow refers to orgasms

9. Dime:
Means a 10 out of 10, as in a hot girl.

10. Drop it like it's hot:
means you can get down and stick your ass up doggy style. good stuff, I tried it out at the last On Broadway trip. great... just as long as no one calls me shorty.

11. I put it dowwnn:
means i paid the stripper her damn tip so she better start gettin naked!

No worries: As I learn more, I'll update this post.
