Description

The inventive sounds of hip-hop have echoed far from their Bronx beginnings of twenty years ago. Delivering its message in a unique language all its own, hip hop has garnered commentary from Vibe and Essence as well as the Daily Telegraph and the Wall Street Journal. Now, HIP HOPTIONARY translates dozens of phrases like "marinating in the rizzi with your road dawg" (relaxing in your car with your friend), including: - Big Bodies: SUVs or luxury vehicles - Government Handle: registered birth name - 411: the scoop - Bling-Bling: diamonds, big money, flash and cash - 1812: war, fight (as in War of 1812) Also featuring idioms and beeper codes alongside lists of hip-hop fashion labels, books, mixed drinks and bios of the greatest rappers, this is the ultimate guide for a Double H world.
