Tagged Hip-hop

The Hip-hop tag covers slang originating in rap music, hip-hop culture, and adjacent street vocabularies; mostly US but with substantial UK drill and Caribbean overlap. Many entries here are AAVE proper that crossed into mainstream English through rap lyrics, often with a decade-long lag. Coverage includes drug and money vocabulary (drip, flexing, balling), regional subgenre markers (phonk, drill, boom bap), and the lyrical conventions of the form (diss track, flow, bounce). Strong overlap with Black culture and AAVE and the broader Music tag. Notable: drip, flexing, phonk, drill, diss track.
