the on-line Rap Dictionary
Are you one of those fellas who listens to Eminem or Will Smith and wonders what the hell they are talking about ? Well this month's site is for you. It's an on-line rap dictionary, quite an amazing one in fact. Some of you may wondering why a poetry site like blue fingers would talk about rap... well rap is the art of eloquence, therefore it has always been deeply linked to poetry. Some narrow-minded people (let them think what they want) think that pure poetry has nothing to do with rap but I don't. I think that slang considerably enriches our language, creates new nuances, new concepts and new sounds. English Slang is very rich in metaphors. This is one of the first things that you notice when reading this dictionnary. So go ahead and browse this site !
Not only is this dictionary very clear and detailed but it features loads of fun quotes ("You want to rap and you got no battle, it's like havin' a boat and you got no paddle" Public Enemy) and there is even some slang etymology. The people who have made it are very very talented.
Any comments ?
