okay..let me just say right quick first off...how i'm not tryin' to hate on no conor oberst. i like him. simple.
he's cute. he's fun. and wednesday night he was completely smashed on some red wine... which was just a trip.

and now let me just say how i rolled up in there and we almost had to boo azure ray off the stage cause they were bout to put us to sleep (hopefully there are no azure ray fans on here...cause if so, i'm just beggin to get lynched...but)...anyway...so i straight up sit my ass on the floor right in the middle of EVERYONE standing around in fron to f the stage...and i start fallin asleep. and you know these emotional beings around me were givin me looks like i was just not right...cause maybe i wasn't right...
but it felt right to go to sleep at that point.

it was a wrong night cause first part...the guy at the door wouldn't tak emy id as valid...cause i guess he's just tryin to hate a mofo from tennessee...(oh i guess i didn't explain that i'm in st. louis right now)...
so
but conor was pretty and i was totatly crackin up at the emosexuals that were cryin to 'lover i don't have to love"

well no point to this post...just that i'd write about all the dirty looks i got for being rude...

but if you get a chance on this tour to see conor...it's worth it...cause more than likely ...he will be trashed by the time it';s ovah.

now i'm ovah.

now i m not tryin to hate on you or nuttin... but too much...ghetto slang up in here...yo.

i saw bright eyes at the belcourt about a month ago. yes, he did get drunk (shitfaced to be exact), but he also managed to put on an amazing show. i'm not some emo kid and i'm not a bandwagon jumper, but i really enjoyed the show.

he did put on a great show...his voice was beautiful...

i was just grumpy that night cause the guy at the door wouldn't take my ID...
that and a couple of individuals throughout the night that were trying to start some stuff...but whatever...twas good

actually i think its "ghetto slang up in hurr"

thanks for the lesson. i recently learned what "sittin' on doves" and "flossin" meant.

okay...wait...now...LOL...FLOSSIN' i got..but sittin on doves? whhaaa...

you need to ..umm...educate...cause i don't know...

I believe that what smee is referring to means: the state of being a driver (or a passenger) in an automobile for which the wheels have been custom outfitted with 20 inch rims.

Like the Ludacris song "Roll Out" where he raps the line

Rollin' on twenties with the top back
Twin glock forties cocked back


Ghetto culture is very nice indeed and Luda-man is the king.

my favorite song right now is:

"hey ma
Whaassuupp?
Let's slide...
alright....
cause we gon' get it on toni-iii---iiiight...."

cam'ron..my man

Haha. Nice...very nice.

life has suddenly become so clear... thank you, mr. carroll.

wooord.

oh and what is "flossin"?

Word to your mother.

i fucking love this thread. we've gone from bright eyes to gangsta rap. props to ye olde thread drifters.

sheeeiiittt yo...you knows my ass was all talkin some ghetto to conor.

i'm in st louis right now...and all my friends here are bout ready to give me a blanket party if i don't stop with the ghetto talk.

they're like "nick...you're not black" and i'm just like "bitch...shut up...I'M FUCKIN HOOD!!!"

crampin my flavah and sttuuuuffff.

You tell 'em, man. You can't let those haters salt your game like that...

Most definitely dog. I do believe your homies in St. Louis are fronting.

sheeiiitt..umm flossin' be like:

Thug #1: YO...check dis out...i'm bawlin' out of control with my money and my bitches.... so wassupp?

Thug #2: nigga, you ain't shit...check my shit out...i got ho's out every night and i ain't payin fo' shit. a bitch would think my asz was a pimp o' somin' but i ain't even tryin ta own nuthin'. i got money, gold...women, phat rhymes, so whassuupp? my ass is bawlin'...so what bout it bout it?

(does that make it clear?)

yeah nope made it worse. did you mean to thrown "flossin" into that convo and just forgot?

okay...i found a definition online...here goes:

flos·sin’ v.i. (street lingo) - 1. showing off, displaying with pride. 2. employing unusual energy and creativity to produce something unique.

muchos gracias.. homie

easy there, cowboy

you are so outta control. keepin it real on the features message board. you schoolin motherfuckaz left and right up in here. so, you got any 18 year old st. louis thugs you wanna send back for me?

~s

dawg...you KNOWWWW i was tryin to bring dave home for you...but i couldn't find him again...

trust me...they weren't tryin' to hang with me again after that night...heh

ahhhh, something i know something about.

"flossin" is similar to "ballin"... it just means having a lot of money and nice things. though i think floss may refer specifically to diamonds or chains or something.

and the other phrase you are looking for is "rollin on dubs." dub is a brand of rim, if i'm not mistaken. but they're meant only for those who are flossin.

dub, as in double, as in 20 or 22, double 2. all in inches.

y'all met ericka yet?

I thought Ballin' had something to do with basketball. Am I just totally white?

that's what i thought too. i've never been fascinated with ghetto slang, i've never had the need for it.

Well I thought "to ball" meant "to have sex with". So I guess I'm totally sex-obsessed. Or something.

i think "ballin'" once referred to actually playing basketball (which would then in turn mean playing professionally=$$$) but then evolved into just another way to say that you had money.
as for being a sexual reference, i think they just call that "fucking". no synonyms necessary.
i'd like to add that owning jay-z's "the blueprint" will clear all of this up, as well as make your life complete.

That's the absolute truth. Did you ever see the Jay-Z Unplugged? Off the hook!

hell yeah dude, i taped that shit. it's on the real. the root's version of "big pimpin" has to be seen to be believed.
if there's anything that rap needs more of these days, it's castanets.

i'd deal drugs and stab someone to be jay-z.
because you would have to.
because that's what he did.

i would also rap.

good call.

i wonder what frued would have to say about that...
