As mentioned before, rappers have simplified their spelling due to the emergence of ligatures, and their word usage has also been simplified a lot. For example, the most common one is to change the letter at the end of er to a single "a". For example, the word **** (nigger), which is the most harmful word for black people, is simplified to *****, and another word mother* ***a was also simplified to mutha****a. In addition, the word player was also changed to playa. As long as the word ends in er, it can be changed to a according to this grammar. In addition, words ending in ks or cks are also replaced by an x, because ks (cks) and x have the same pronunciation. For example, thanks is changed to thankx, and checks (cash) is also changed to chex. This usage has also become a rule.

The usage of o is also very distinctive. For example, Love is changed to Luv, nothing is changed to nuthin', and the word mother****er mentioned before is also changed to mutha****a. grammar. In addition, like the s in words, it is often changed to z, such as cause is changed to kuz, easy is changed to EZ, and there are some changes.

There are two grammars that have become not only used by black people, but also become common in the United States, such as going to is changed to gonna, and want to is changed to wanna. In addition, if out of is changed to outta, kind of is changed to kinda, and sortof is changed to sorta, it has become a new English grammar.

Words such as re or e that are almost inaudible during fast singing are omitted, such as more becomes mo (such as the black movie More Money, which is abbreviated to mo money), for Change it to fo, or replace it with the number "4" (same pronunciation).

The omission of "g" in "ing" has also become a common grammar in the United States. For example, nothing is changed to nuthin', comming is changed to commin', etc., as long as it is in the ing progressive form, it can be omitted g. The pronunciation of some words has also changed due to rap. For example, in the word through, everyone knows that gh is not pronounced, and th is pronounced as "θ", but in rap songs, it is pronounced as "t" , so the word is reduced to thru, and the pronunciation is the same as that of the word true, and the pronunciation of th in nothing is also the same as the grammar, changing from "θ" to "t" sound. The orthography is simplified to wit, but the pronunciation is still /WIθ/, which is an exception.

By the way, some rappers have taken advantage of the benefits of speaking quickly, stringing a bunch of words together and writing them on the album. It feels like the album title or song title is particularly cool, but in fact On, it still sounds the same. For example, the rap group out kast's debut album southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, and Ice Cabe's album Bootlegs B.B. Side's last mixed song D'VOIDOFPOPNIGGAFIEDMEGAMIX. There are a long list of them, which are very headache-inducing to read, but you can understand the pronunciation after reading them a few times. The word means it. In addition, for example, Digital Underground's song Wussup with The LUV is the entity of What's up with The Love. Although the font has changed, the pronunciation is still the same.

The above is just a brief introduction, but it is the word that appears most frequently among black people. The following will introduce some words that appear in rap songs and introduce their usage. Some words are used in terms of expressions. It can be called "vulgar words", "vulgar words" or "slang", but it is the most practical word used by black people. The first thing I talk about is, of course, the most exposed word Fuck. This word not only appears in rap songs, but has become a daily word and is widely used in the United States. As the world knows, the word "fuck" is used to mean "to have sex with someone." Of course, it is also a very vulgar word. It is often used to scold the other person's behavior or behavior. Moreover, the word "fuck" can also represent anything, any animal. , can also be used as an intensifying term. As long as it can curse people, it is consistent with the grammar of Fuck.

And Fuck also has its own set of phrases, which are introduced as follows: The most common phrase is I don't give a ****, which means I don't care; **** about/around It means not trusting someone or something; **** off means get out; as for Don't **** sb up, it means Let me alone, don't bother me; and **** sth up means messing things up. Of course, as mentioned before, the word "Fuck" can replace any verb or noun, as long as the other party understands it. Fuck has a usage that is the same as on earth or a curse word (the hell), that is, "the ****", which is used for emphasis, such as What the **** you gonna do? or How the Fuck sho' I fly? Sometimes it can be used interchangeably with shit, but it's better to use it sparingly.

In addition, another word that is comparable to the word Fuck is shit. This word means "dung" or "shit", and sometimes it can even refer to drugs (heroin). Its usage is the same as Fuck, and it depends on the user's hobbies, but it is mostly used as a noun, used to curse someone angrily. Disappointment. Like fuck, the word "shit" often becomes a verb, a bit like "husband" and "ala" in ancient Chinese, but the tone is a bit stronger. Like shit! what's up, ya? Or the curse word you lil (little) son of***** shit! Very vulgar usage, or the expression "eat my shit" or "remember me" eat my shit! Whenever that word is used in a rap song, it's not good. Of course, when the word "shit" is used, it sometimes refers to good things, and is used like a pronoun. Such as What Da shit! This shit has been referred to as drugs in rap songs, and it has also been referred to as girls. Yo! My Big Shit! The word "shit" in this term refers to "Baby", which shows that "shit" can be used very freely! The most familiar usage of shit must be Bull shit! Bull shit! Talking in vain is also a Bull hit! There was once a joke that "Where is the most shit?" The answer is "American mouths!" It can be seen that Americans' preference for this word has become an international joke!

The following introduces some rap words that appear particularly frequently, as follows:

1. Words represented by numbers

Because some words are related to Arabic Numbers have the same pronunciation, so they are directly replaced by numbers. For example, 2 is used for to, 4 is used for for, and 9 is used for night. The aight part of Straight is often represented by 8 as "Str 8", forming a new English word with both letters and numbers. Some numbers are also necessary to know. For example, the previously released movie 187 refers to the "California murderer's penalty number", and a rapper is named 187 Fac, or the member of the rap group The Whitehead brother. The famous song "My Lover is a 187" also uses 187 as its symbol. Other code names related to numbers are mostly related to guns. We will introduce them in the next part of gun code names.

2. Use letters to replace words

A means the best, and B means the worst. For example, B-Side means the worst thing, but A plus (A+) It is the best representative. C is often the optional word for see. G has a lot of background. It can refer to gang members (Gangstar) or sexual intercourse between men and women. Because the woman makes a "G" sound during sexual intercourse, it can also refer to gun (Gun). N is the abbreviation of And, R is the abbreviation of ARE, and U is the abbreviation of You. In addition, the Ku Klux Klan (Ku Klux Klan) or W.A.S.P, a strong white group that once used to eliminate black Americans and ensure white supremacy.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) are also mentioned repeatedly in rap songs because WASPs are the main class that dominates American society today and are in direct contrast to the lower class of African Americans. In Wu-Tang Clan’s famous song C.R.E.A.M (Cash, Rules, Everything, Around, Me), the title of the song clearly talks about hope, the wish that cash can roll in. The song begins with Raekwon The Chef (Wu-Tang One of the Clan members) came to Shaolinland, New York, the birthplace of Wu-Tang, for money, without the care of his mother. He was exposed to drugs at the age of 16 and used guns to make a living on the streets. He used these things to obtain everything he had , of course, including Cash Company. From the short lyrics of this song, readers can understand that in the lives of black gang members in the United States, money, guns and drugs are a trinity, each of which is indispensable. Of course, the word "sex" is also indispensable. With the death of guns and drugs, descriptions of corpses also appear in endlessly in the lyrics, and these words form the main part of rap music.

The following describes the black English words that represent these things:

1. Money: an indispensable part of rap songs, the most common word is Cash, after all, cash is the most Practical, I have never heard of Checks being used in drug transactions, but in rap songs, Check(s) are also used as money codes. The word "Bone" means drugs, but it also means money. It is often used as a group leader to explain, and it even has something to do with sex. There is a lyric "Near no bone" which means "worthless". In addition, because the U.S. dollar is green, green has also become the code name for large banknotes, but green also means drugs. The letter "G" mentioned earlier also means a thousand-dollar bill (Grand). A "G" can represent so many things (sex, gangs, money). Other common words such as nickle (nickel), dough, blunt (the original meaning is "blunt", but was borrowed to mean "gold jewelry"), ducat (originally refers to gold/silver jewelry used in medieval Europe, now in spoken language refers to coins or admission tickets), hoot (originally refers to New Zealand money, also borrowed by black people, very special), dime, buck (can refer to male black people, and can also refer to one dollar), money There are so many code names!

2. Drugs: Using money to buy drugs and smoke them has become an indispensable part of rap songs. The multi-ethnic color of the American melting pot can also be understood through the names of drugs in black rap songs.

3. Sex: "Food and sex are the nature of sex." No one can escape the need for sex. It will inevitably appear in rap songs. Some words are used to introduce the male and female reproductive organs and the relationship between men and women. The actions of coitus, such as sex transactions due to sexual needs, are described below.

a. Male genitals, such as Dick, bone, penis, and dog, all refer to important male parts, while ball refers to male testicles. Therefore, the phrase "have bone with sb" often appears in the phrases of coitus.

b. Female genitals, such as pussy (kitten, also meaning private parts), ass, bucket, etc.

c. Words for male-female intercourse, such as doggy style, doggy way (a sexual position like a dog), freak, top-up (a position where the man is on top and the woman is on top), turn up the bucket, game (For example, salt'n pape's single "He is gamin' on Ya"), or "get busy" is used to illustrate the intensity of the "war". 69 stands for oral sex, and the rap group 69 Boyz is named after it. In fact, many rappers will also record a scene of male and female coitus in their albums, such as Dr. Dre's The Doctor's office.

Or O'Dirty Bastard talked about sex in the album "Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version" and showed an orgasmic voice in "Drunk Game", which was very special.

d. Code names for young men and women: Generally speaking, young men and women are called teenagers, but they also use the code name Homeboy. The other word Homie, although it means an intimate address, is mostly related to "gang" activities. But now it has also become a code name for friends. Commonly used names for men include boy, man, bro (abbreviation for brother), crew, buck, fufe, dis, etc., which are very colloquial, while names for women are more disrespectful, such as girl, ** ***, sis (abbreviation of sister), whore, hoe, hook, etc., and the last three words mean "prostitute", which is very vulgar. In addition, there is a word PHAT, pronounced the same as fat, which is a compliment to women. It is the abbreviation of Perfect Hip And Touch, which can be called "beautiful thing". Therefore, fat originally only meant fat, and "beautiful thing" appeared. "It means that English grammar has also changed a lot. The word "fly" can also be said to be the code name for all the good guys and bad guys, so the female rapper Missy MisdemeanorElliott is going to sing Supa Dupa Fly.

e. Sex trade between men and women: Pimps use pimp as their code name (for example, Too Short's seventh album is named "Shorty The Pimp"), while prostitutes use whore, hoe, hook stank ho, etc. It is a proxy name, and the popular object can also be called hot stuff, and creep up on sb's ass is used to represent the transaction.

4. Gang members: Regarding gang members, such as "G" means Gangstar, gang can represent a gun or a group of people, so does crew, bro, hoodlum, and gink also mean gang members.

5. Police: The police are seen as a thorn in the side of black gangsta rappers, so they are referred to a lot by them in their lyrics. The late rapper Z Pac even wrote in his introduction to his first album Z Pac AIYPSE NOW, "Fuck all Police, Skinheads, Nazi Whatever!" KRS-ONE, known as the "mentor of rap music," also has a song called "Black" Cop talks about the faults of black police officers. From this point of view, there are obvious signs that rap songs induce fans to kill police officers. Common names for police officers include Cop (abbreviation for baton Capper), pig, po (abbreviation for police), and Crook. In addition, the name Five-O, which comes from the TV series "Talco", also often appears in rap songs. The phrase "donut & cafe" (donuts and coffee) is used to refer to some idle police officers. The title is almost always a negative word.

6. Death, corpse: Scurface, who had just released the album "My Homies" a while ago, released his second album "The Diary" in 1993 and released a single with Ice Cube. The song "Hand of the Dead Body" became very popular, but in the Q&A section of Vibe, a professional black literary and art magazine, someone asked: Why does Scarface love to sing lyrics about death and corpses so much? The magazine's answer was: Because he had been washing corpses in a funeral home for two years. So he loves corpses. Of course, it's not that all rappers have washed their bodies, but the word "death" is integral to rap. Phrases such as deep-six, light sb up, turn to the grave, go out, etc. all mean "go to death", while crpress hill and six deep feet (referring to the coffin buried six feet above the ground) are both graves. meaning, and the verbs bang and pump are often used, which are related to being fatally shot.

7. Other names: For example, the word juice can be used as juice, but when used as a verb, it means "squeezing". For example, Ice Cube said in the lyrics "You can't juice me out" , kus I'm Ice Cube", which means resistance, but if a woman is called juice, it means that the woman must be a "beautiful thing", but juice has a positive meaning, that is, it means respect. When black people When he said Can you give me mo' juice, he not only asked for juice, but also asked for respect.

And if you call someone Humpty Pumpty, the egg-shaped man walking around on the wall mentioned in Alice in Wonderland, don’t think that you are referring to your shiny face. It means very cute, but it means to look down upon a person's cunning and clumsy ways.
