Did any of you get a chance to read this? All 40 fans should, its based entirely on how his slang is constantly stolen, and how hard it is to make it where he's at. Ill post some quotes from the article, but you should ALL read it.
"A disproportionate amount of 40-generated slang has wiggled it's way into the mainstream after a few years, consider the current ubiquity of "popping collars," a phrase coined by 40 years ago."
He even makes a reference to cam'ron's "oh boy" song....
"Seventy-five percent of the words, I made them up. And 'Oh boy?' I dont know if he think he got that from a DJ, another rapper or what, but that come straight from the Sick-Wid-It umbrella, E-40 and The Click. That right there 'playboy,' 'it's all good,' all YAY words. Wasn't nobody calling themselves pimp before me. I tell the game where to go."
"...If they dont come get me for the video or put me on the remix or something... thats the fucked up shit about it. These Hoe-Ass niggas nowadays, they just take a nigga's shit, look arrogant on TV, swear up and down they made it up..."
This should satisfy some 40 fans a little bit. Check the article out, good reading, ALOT more then what i posted, 4 pages worth.
