Pickett (The Next School) WISHLIST ======== Below is a list of things that we are still too insecure about to enter them in the Dictionary. If you know more than us, or if you have something to add to this wishlist, let us know! 227 "The Federal government is pulling a 227 on you, G!" -- Flavor Flav. Might have something to do with the old sitcom "227" about a brownstone housing development and the black families that lived there. 4:20 Seemingly an important term in hip-hop. APB "Got an APB on Chewbaca" -- Fugees (??? [????]). diggity Blackstreet's "No diggity" dulo "you know i don't take a dulo lightly" -- Cypress Hill (Insane in the brain) ironing sweaters Does it mean in jail? A quote would be nice. izm No clue whatsoever. serve (v) We're looking for a definition of "getting served" or "getting my serve on". "It's too much, I serve too many people and when I've finished servin' ain't gonna be no sequel" -- Tha Dogg Pound (New York, New York [??]) word up Somebody asked us what this means. At first I thought, what a strange question, but on second thought it's interesting to find out some etymology behind this! What's up with word up! :-) bent "You got me bent like elbows, amongst other things" -- Outkast (Aliens [???]). Years! For some of the quoted lyrics we have managed to come up with the year of release of the album. If you recognize a quote and have the album, be a dear and let us know... Names! We want to know as many names of as many rap artists as possible. Also which group contained which people, background on people, stuff like that. Heck, even gossip will do! Currently we're looking for: + Brotha Lynch Hung + C-BO + Crazy Tunes, Coolio's DJ + Father Dom + Jon B + Pharoahe Monch from Organized Konfusion + Prince Po(etry) from Organized Konfusion + R-Beesh from Potna + Soon E MC + TRU Or perhaps you know the first names of these: + Big L (L. Coleman) + Capleton (C. Bailey) + C-Knight (A. Blount (DoveShack)) + Daddy Freddy (S. Small) + DJ Akshun Luv (R. Williams) + DJ Shadow (J. Davis) + Doo-Wop (R. Gonzalez) + Fatal (J. Burgos) + Gangste D (D. Barnett (SecondIINone)) + Izzy-Ice (I. Francois (Da King & I)) + Jah Skilz (J. Carthorn) + Jayo Felony (J. Savage) + J-Sw!ft (J. Martinez) + KC Flightt (F. Toson Jr.) + KK (K. McDonald (SecondIINone) + Mad CJ Mack (B. Ross) + Majesty (R. Wiggins (Da King & I)) + Melachi The Nutcracker (J. Felder (Group Home)) + Moc Fu (J. Jones) + Nine Double M (D. Keyes) + Poc Fu (L. Maturine) + Pudgee Tha Phat Bastard (T. Horton) + Saafir (R. Gibson) + Shinehead (E.C. Aiken Jr.) + Smooth Bee (D. Barnes (Nice & Smooth)) + Son Of Bazerk (T. Allen) + Suga T (Ms. Stevens (The Click)) + Tank West (C. Pettus) + Top Quality (T. Robinson) + Zev Love X (D. Dumile (KMD)) + Zone-TDK (M. Pickett (The Next School)) Photo's! We'd love to have photo's of artists next to their name in the names list. If you have some lying around, give 'em a scan, and mail them to us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (c) 1992-1996 Patrick Atoon and Niels Janssen --------------------------------------------------------------------------
