#old-school

Stealing somebody's rhymes, moves, or style and trying to pass it off as your own.

A stylish, confident woman who's sharp, sure of herself, and dressed to kill.

Your word is your unbreakable promise, a vow of total truth and honor.

A weak, fake rapper with no skills, the kind of MC real ones eat alive on the mic.

So good it's almost wrong, the kind of skill that flips 'sick' into a compliment.

To go all out, give it everything you got, whether on the mic, the floor, or in a battle.

To hang out and relax, or to drop a verse, depending on how you're using it.

The absolute best, the standout, the thing everybody's talking about.

Your tight friend from the neighborhood, your ride-or-die from way back.

To grab the microphone and command the crowd with serious skill and energy.

Your day-one girl from the block, the female counterpart to your homeboy.

Excellent, top quality, the highest grade, flipped from drug slang into pure praise.

The portable stereo you hauled on your shoulder to bring the party with you.

Dancing to the breaks with footwork, spins, and freezes, the raw original form of breakdancing.

Clean, new, and sharp, the look of somebody stepping out flawless head to toe.

Excellent, the best, top-tier, the word that named a whole record label.

A break-boy who lived for the breaks, throwing down on cardboard with footwork and freezes.

Kicking back totally relaxed and unbothered, cool with no worries at all.
