Hip Hop Nation
Sorry I've been away most of the day. I've been owning Matt from 1115.org in his big "I'll Name 10 MC's Better Than Jay-Z and/or 2Pac" discussion. I'm kidding of course, but the timing of his topic is eerie.
Last night was officially the end of Xmas, as Fiona, Anna, Mr. White, Molly and yours truly got together to finally exchange gifts. While the presents I dished out to the faithful were totally on point, I recieved the official "Gift Of The Night" in the form of the Hip Hoptionary, the dictionary of hip hop terminology. Anna meant this as a joke but now I have the edge I need to hang with all the smooth talking cats out there as well as those others that just talk weird or have invented their own freaking language. Obvs. Perhaps now I can get a cabinet position in the administration....
I will spit like a janky joe peckerwood no more my peeps. Ya heard? (That sentence translated to the white people's vernacular would read I will talk like a clueless average white person no more my good people. Do you understand me? )
But I don't want to leave my faithful readers behind either, so I will be starting a new feature here on information leafblower. Each weekday I will provide you with a slang vocabulary word or phrase and it's corresponding definition. This way, we will all be able to take it to the bridge.
Today's word/phrase is:
Take it to the bridge: to maximize one's effort.
Oh yeah...Byron Scott = owned.
yo, cause I'm a teacher / and Scott is a scholar
it ain't about money / cause we all make dollars
that's why / I walk with my head up
when I hear wack rhymes / I get fed up
rap is like a set-up / a lot of games
a lot of suckas with colorful names
I'm so-and-so / I'm this / I'm that
huh, but they all just wick-wick-wack
I don't think Byron Scott took it to the bridge this season. Maybe the new head coach will get the Nets to take it to the bridge on a regular basis. If they want to get past the Pacers, they will definitely need to take it to the bridge. Everybody in the organization, from Rod Thorn to the guy who squeezes liquid cheese onto nachos at the concession stand, will need to take it to the bridge for the remainder of the season.
Uh...how was that? Did I utilize the phrase in the correct manner?
That firing was pretty effing weak, and there ain't nothing but a big "Bridge Out!" sign over Route 3 and Exit 16W of the Turnpike. And it's so freaking obvious that the Nets have wanted to fire Scott for a month, but needed to wait until the Knicks fired Chaney and hired someone else, so Scott wouldn't immediately and embarrassingly hired by NY.
Haha. Does your book have a different definition of "owning" than I'm familiar with?
