[MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

@wey148 and who the Hell are you? Sir Isaac Newton? This interview was done more than 22 years ago. I see L.L. still getting money from the entertainment industry. How 'dumb' is that, Mr. Shits?

[teeosupreme]

@wey148 yeah. you should know you lame ass.

[teddybruscie]

By the way for those trying to get their Hip Hop Slang correct, its...

"Word is Bond"

NOT

"Word is Born"

I know it sounds like Born, but its Bond. As in my word is what I mean, it is bonding with me. I am what I say. Born makes no sense.

[BestofWrestling03]

@teddybruscie lol i get annoyed when people say born

[ParadiseofTruth]

@teddybruscie lmaoo@word is born... who's been saying that? lmao!

[TheLkvoice]

@teddybruscie agreed and going further than that the originating phrase is My Word is my Bond It's a maritime brokers' motto. Since 1801 the motto of the London Stock Exchange (in Latin "dictum meum pactum") where bargains are made with no exchange of documents and no written pledges being given.

[qmelian]

"u no wat im sayin" was even in the 80's

[catalystica81]

Word.

[Jeffrizel1986]

[Hisflock777]

LOL! This looks like Rap culture 101 for white folks.

[djmmcee]

@Hisflock777 wack statement, brah... you probably think Ebonics is a real language...

[Levazoid]

[micknamer]

[apolllos7]

[ssstephenssskates]

yo that hat is cold wat they called

[lwj24]

@DreAreaMusic It's called a Kangol.

[dimpleslovesya]

"YOU STUPID" LOL....he had the hand gesture in everything.

[Krisando]

90's: Rap ain't what it used to be now in the 90's, used to be about groupies having fun with the best rhymes. Trying to tranced the listener...

2000's: Yo dawg, rap ain't how we used to do it you digg, unowhati'msaying.. Have to be real to earn respect unowhati'msaying. Bitches, hoes money... No rhyming.

2010's: Rap isn't how it used to be with all that bling and stuff..

2020's: Wasn't rap that crazy shit about money that our parents/gransparents listened too?

Timeline IMO.

[Fulafek]

@Krisando I disagree, there is always going to be rap, it's just that the older people is not going to vide with the rap for the younger ppl, its like when little richard was doing rock and roll, our parents loved that shit, but nowadays you won't catch ur parents bumpin Sum 41 or Creed...ya kno?

[CALICOTV301]

@Krisando You are clueless to what rap is, what it takes to make a song, and the equipment used. Nothing is what it USED to be, NOTHING.

[PureCents]

@Krisando

haha thats what im talkin about

[GogghyTV]

@Krisando Rap will turn in to house music with some autotuned rhymes.

[LBJTV]

@GogghyTV it already has..even snoop dogg is featured with katy perry songs and david guetta..extremely bad..no way he wouldve thought he would be doing that in the early 90s

[GogghyTV]

@LBJTV Snoop with Katy isnt as low as Snoop, Ludacris with David Guetta. I mean he's good at his genre, but this shouldnt be mixed with hip hop.

[LBJTV]

@GogghyTV Ye..mainstream music has been going down the gutter for a while now..

[LBJTV]

@Krisando Spot on matey. 80s rap forever. Kurtis blow, RUN DMC, Grandmaster Flash, LL Cool J..

[ahmedgunner15]

@Krisando 2011 has been a good year for hip hop just dont listen to wack rappers

[hankschade]

[Mavericker7]

@hankschade Most rap today don't hold a candle to '80s and '90s hip-hop.

[cetnickiponos]

@hankschade i was thinking the exact same thing..

[superpacman3000]

@hankschade I AGREE ! 

[mazilin2]

@hankschade back then they did hip hop today the next gen has no clue what hip hop is that's why they don't see what's crap or not

[PrinceZukoMarley]

[Danglingchad]

Whatever happened to E-Luv?

[ebbowman]

Lol I used to have this interview on tape back in the day

[verbalabuza]

rappers from the 80's can make you cringe when you watch em nowadays, but LL was laidback and cool, even for todays standards

[travis92x]

@verbalabuza lol, how can it make you cringe, this was actually cool rather than todays bullshit, you sound as if youre trying to be 'hip' and 'up to date' to me

[dasofinelady]

he was so yummy back in the day... damn

[dontdoitnow]

Ah, back in the day wen ppl gave a shit about rap slang

[cfwths1]

word

[nishantmudgal]

It means, "you understood it well my friend". OR it could also imply to someone who HAS smthin good or did smthing nice and well done!(it could even be a well placed kick in da butt!) Hommie=friend

[baxmonstertrak]

does anyone know what it means when someones says "you got it good hommie"

[Kiddmizfit]

It means that you're in a better situation than the person saying it. You're complaining about something that shouldn't be complained about.

Example:

Person 1: Man my parents suck, I only get $100 dollar a month allowances!

Person 2: $100?! You got it good homie! the only thing I get from my parents monthly is an ass whoopin!

[designlover88]

@Kiddmizfit lol

[disconnexions]

Classic!! You should post the Ebony/Jet '88 interview with Kool Moe Dee in Harlem when he was talking about his feud with LL.
