5 Of The Most Misunderstood/Overused Words In Hip Hop’s Vocabulary

5. Career:
A career doesn’t end because songs stop being hot, or because some un-Hip Hop incident occurs. Careers, unlike jobs, twist & turn according to the individual’s interest. In theory, if an actual career begins, it’s not truly over until the person tragically fuck something up or dies.

4. Support:
Is it really support if you ask for it before it’s extended? Personally, solicited support is no different than fake support, & the closest I get to fake support is pretending the XBOX Live IT guys I’m arguing with live in America. No matter what I’m doing, I want people to come to me of their own volition. Especially if I’m doing whatever it is for free, already.

3. Hustle:
Rap didn’t begin as a hustle. Rap music was an art of expression. An organized confusion that only spoke to a specific few. Now it’s bottled up & distributed like crack crumbs to whoever is willing to take a hit. The desire to leave a legacy has been replaced by the urge to stack racks.

2. Hate:
Telling me I’m a “hater” because I don’t like something is like calling me a fish because I know how to swim. It’s bad enough that the ‘Net has successfully assassinated independent thought & centralized opinion. Now, when If I do muster up the energy to defend my position, I have to be bombarded with being belittled.

1. Classic:
Remember that girl in high school that all the cool guys boned? That cute little chick who got tossed around so much that any depth & worth she once had is virtually non-existent now? Well, this word is her written doppleganger.

    Always thinking !! This was interesting. So simple yet deep as hell.

  2. Yea, truth all throughout this list as always

  3. No. 3 is so true it hurts. No. 2 just reminds me to embrace the hate. I LOVE to hate shit that I hate. I don’t even feel I have to defend it sometimes. If I hate it, I hate it. My perogative.

  5. * is retired but still works *

    if you have to explain what the true meaning of these simple words are, then it’s an automatic fail…

    I heard and saw some great and deep info the last 2 days…the supremacists are alive and well with orders to ruin us thru the comments…and we’re abiding by it with S(ing)TFU and letting it ride…from the horses mouth, not my thoughts…

    think about this sh^t real well brethren…there’s only but so much jewelry I can give away

  6. http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20110923/US.SCI.Falling.Satellite/

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15034073

    ^ so they don’t know exactly where…although they pinpointed the area…and reports are coming in…but it’s “we don’t know”…

    smDh

  7. http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20110925/US.Obama.Black.Caucus/

    ^

    “Caucus leaders remain fiercely protective of the nation’s first African-American president, but in recent weeks they’ve been increasingly vocal in their discontent — especially over black joblessness.”

    ^ they making US pay for THEIR dislike…

    “But Cleaver said his members also are keeping their gripes in check because “nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.”

    ^^^^^

  8. Last year, Obama addressed the same dinner and implored blacks to get out the vote in the midterm elections because Republicans were preparing to “turn back the clock.

    ^ how do y’all not see this?

    Did heads ever speculate if that krayon bitch is affiliated with supremacists? She got a mil check check, that’s a red flag…them dudes are strong on the west…

    and I’ma end it like this…in times of war…especially with the PA in effect…one can’t say much against the republic…how come these dudes we see everyday are allowed to do acts of treason concerning the economy and the presidency…

    speak up brethren

    • yo $yk, lotta people outside of the US think the same as you, in the states …. yeah can’t speak for them. the states are a wanna be new rome, they forget rome didn’t last forever, and it was probably freer than the US is these days, at least they didn’t have the tech to track and smack governments have these days

      what gets under my skin the most, for the most part bullshit is put ahead of real issues in the states, getting the same here in OZ, but the media dictates what peeps should care about, eastern horn of africa millions are dying , western media reports on some entertainment bullshit instead, because it’s boring on how our cheap goods are produced. and yeah china getting in good now with em because africa has alot of the rare minerals on lock for western bullshit “smart” phones

      and yeah that shit will fall on oz like it always does (skylab anyone?) dunno kinda funny how the US will be the last bastion for bullshit. other countries (a good portion of the middle east to begin with) have taken all they can take bullshit wise, western governments got that shit locked down, why revolt when their is a new i phone around the corner!?!?! smh

    • $yk
      Next time, write a piece & I’ll post it, rather than hijack the comment section.
