Basically, the entire rap industry. I've been saying that for years. Who saw the Usher video where that faggot said "what it do"? What the fuck is more like it. Read the article below.
FACT OR FICTION WHO'S STEALING BAY AREA SLANG?
by T-Kash
It's no question that the hip hop community is one of emmulation and
recycling,both musically and verbally.And for the most part, the game
is good for paying respect and homage to the originators of the
concepts and cultures from which it picks and pulls from,for whatever
reason each induvidual artist/producer may have.For example,the now
defunct group The Lench Mob with the 1993 track "Guerillas ain't
Gangstas",quoting Bay Area MOBB music legend Spice 1's trademark ,"and
if you ever disrespect me I'ma bank ya!" they also said peace to
Spice,which gave the Bay Area proper recognition for our culture and
it's contribution to the rest of the hip hop world.
TIMES HAVE DEFINITLEY CHANGED SINCE THEN . Today, the Bay Area sets
an abundance of trends and gets little if not any recognition for the
contributions we have given to the game.Equally important is the
blaitant "jacking" of our slang and production by both underground and
mainstream artists.Last and most important,the lack of truthfulness
behind the origin of these contributions when explained by the artists
that pick and pull at the Bay Area's MOBB music culture. With that
being said,I figured that we play a little game of "FACT OR FICTION",
just to make my point more clearer.
FACT OR FICTION?:
SNOOP DOGG IS THE ORIGINATOR OF THE TERMS
"FA SHIZZLE" "PLEASE BELEIVE IT" AND "NEPHEW"!
FICTION:The term "FA SHIZZLE" is actually just another way to say"FA
SHEEZY",which was invented by Oakland's 3x KRAZY,and quoted by E-40 on
his 1996 release,"THE HALL OF GAME".The song was called "RECORD
HATERS" where E-"FEEZY" stated," My patna's 3x krazy laced me, taught
me how to say FA SHEEZY". The other terms that came out of 'FA
SHEEZY' was the term 'OFF THE HEEZY' which later spun off to phrases
like 'OFF THE CHAIN', 'OFF THE HOOK', 'OFF THE MEAT RACK'
SNOOP DOGG was first noticed saying "FA SHIZZLE MY NIZZLE" on the
beginning of his video for "SNOOP DOGG",off"THE LAST MEAL" which was
released in late 2000/early 2001."PLEASE BELEIVE IT" and "NEPHEW"
originated on the releases by Vallejo's MAC SHAWN "MUSIC FO THE MOBB"
and "MIND OF A PIMP, ***** OF A GANGSTA" by MAC DRE in 1999.The term
"NEPHEW" was a penitentary term that bled over into the Bay Area
streets and from the streets to the rap game in 1994 with the release
"STRAIGHT GAME" by Vallejo's YOUNG D BOYZ,and various projects from
former DEF JAM artist,Oakland's RICHIE RICH.
Editor's note: When this article first ran Mr Kane aka Kokane who is
down with Snoop Dogg went on record to say that he actually coined the
phrase 'Fa Shizzle My Nizzle'. But it's still a spin off of the
phrase Fa Sheezy.
FACT OR FICTION?:
JAY-Z STARTED FOUNDED THE TERM "PARKING LOT PIMPING",AND HIS LABELMATE
CAMRON STARTED THE TERM "OH-BOY"!
FICTION: The term "Parking Lot Pimpin'" was a Bay Area way of saying
you couldn't get up in the club for what ever reason and you were
going to hang in the parking lot outside the club.This was first put
on the map by Hayward Cali's DEN GEE, known then as the 187 FAC.Their
1997 release "FAC NOT FICTIO N" contained the same titled track as
JIG'S, but the hook was not as commercial.As for Cam and "OH-BOY",that
was also a Bay Area term that was being said on the streets and bled
over into the MOBB music by 1998 being heard on various projects,but
the history was documented on the 1999 release by San Francisco's DON
CISCO,who's album was titled "OH-BOY".JIG's release hit in 2000 and
CAM'S can be heard on almost every top 40 station as you read this
now.
FACT OR FICTION?:
ARTIST LIKE USHER, P-DIDDY, NORE, SNOOP DOGG AND NUMEROUS OTHERS
WERE THE FIRST TO SHOW US HOW TO POP COLLARS..
FICTION:All one has to do is go back to the 1994-95 release of San
Francisco's Tha Network which featured Messy Marv and San Quinn.
There you will hear the hit song 'Pop Yo' Collars' which sampled the
song 'Single Life' by Cameo. Since then there have been way too many
Bay Area songs hawking the 'Pop Yo Collar' theme to keep count.
Everyone from MC Hammer to E-40 have put out 'Popping Collar songs.
In fact Hammer released a video a couple of years ago that highlighted
all the ways one can 'pop collars'. The song was featured at the end
of his recent VHI Special.
OTHER FACTS THAT NEED TO GO ON RECORD...
The overused term PLAYA HATERS was first coined by Filthy Phil of
Richmond, California which was home to Master at that time. The
phrase 'playahata' was put in his song 'Consequences' which came out
in the late 80s. It initially was used in relationship to the
Richmond police who were known as Cowboys. RPD was featured on '60
Minutes' because they were so off the hook. The police in Richmond
were known as 'Haters' while the brothas on the block called
themselves 'Playas' hence the phrase 'Playa Haters'.
Vallejo rapper SUGA T of the Click. It was first brought the Bay Area
slang 'It's All Good' to life. It was first used on her album 'It's
All Good' back in '92-'93. Comedian Paul Monney used to to reference
her and that phrase when he would do his routine.
Finally the exaggerated pronounciation of the word 'BITCH' which is
often said like 'BEEEYATCH', was immortalized by Oakland rapper TOO
SHORT. He first spit this game as far back as 1983. He initially used
the phrase not to reference women but as a way to evoke crowd
reaction. Instead of doing like other rappers at the time and and get
everyone to say 'HO!' or 'OH YEAH' he flipped it and got everyone to
say 'BEEEYATCH'... The term has been adapted by far too many rappers
to name off..
and that's REALTALK.
