Illy operates in two opposite registers. As a standard adverb, it means badly or poorly — a slightly archaic form of 'ill' used adverbially. But in US hip-hop slang, particularly from the late 1980s and 1990s, 'illy' flipped to mean cool, fresh, or excellent — following the same positive-negative inversion pattern seen in 'bad', 'sick', and 'nasty'. In hip-hop contexts it carries connotations of skill and style, often applied to a rapper's flow or a particularly sharp outfit. Context is everything with this one.

An archaic Irish and Scottish dialect word meaning to yell — to cry out loudly or shriek. Also used as a noun for such a cry. Appears in dialect literature and poetry but has not survived in ordinary usage. The word has the short, sharp quality you'd expect from a term for a sudden loud cry.
