A Lesson In Hip Hop Terminology...

I have an album on my myspace page called "My New Whip" (See above) and someone asked me today what a whip was. So...I speak Ebonics as a second language, but for those of who do not speak fluent Ebonics, let me enlighten you with a few definitions. Follow along:

"Whip" When the steering wheel was first put into use in automobiles, it was called the "whip". The whip is what you used to control the horses on a stagecoach, hence the analogy. Many years later, various hip hop artists noticed that the Mercedes-Benz logo resembled a steering wheel. They then proceeded to use the old term "whip" to describe any Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The term has now been generalized to classify any expensive automobile.

As in "Check out my new whip!"

"Make it rain" 1. In strip clubs, it is when you throw stacks of money all over women (this is the "edited" definition)

2. When a man ejaculates all over a woman (this is the "explicit" definition)

Lovely! As in "I make it rain on these hoes"...I guess either definition could apply, huh?!?

"Make it snow" It is similar to "making it rain", except that instead of throwing dollar bills, one is so rich that they are able to throw diamonds. In effect, making it snow. Diamonds can be substituted for a large quantity of cocaine.

Do you feel like you are down now? Stick with me!

Oh, on the right there is now a comment box. Please feel free to use it...Hint,hint!!
