Corny Brits Misinterpreting Our Slang Appreciation

[Capitol]

They sampled her voice for a hook, she did not come up with the term.
I called u a cac fakkit because
1. That question would only be asked by a euro cac
2. You were condescending in speaking on something you have no idea about aka a fakkit

See my above post

MIA didn't make it but she sure as fukk made it hot

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

brehs please calm down

all of us in the UK were also saying "wtf is a swagger jagger?"

My personal theory is that it was a flip based on UK's mainstream media always stating mick jagger had a lot of swag in his heyday

scust at that song but UK slang in general >>>

Same way every rapper has the word Molly in their rhymes? A year or two ago only Brits/Ibiza hoppers were on the MDMA wave

MDMA wave? the fukk is you talmbout

first of all this bytch is wack and embarassing period.

second of all, swag/swagger... that's not a US thing, Shakespeare used that word hundreds of years ago. rap was late on it compared to my homeboy William.

and jacker also... people been using that word in the UK as long as I can remember.

Cher Lloyd is garbage, but I can see why Simon Cowell saw an attractive (no saville) confident 16 year old on the stage and thought he could make some money. thing is, they understand the weak pop music demographic but them dudes don't get the urban lane so they fukked it up.

they can take borderline urban artists like JLS and turn them into soft pop star middle of the road shyt... but they will never have a truly edgy/street oriented act without being embarassing.

I knew there was gonna be some clown like you trying to trace back some vague usage of the word swag hundreds of years ago. there is always some euro clown trying to claim everything

LOL Shakespeare might have created swagger, but the recent trend of the word is derived from an acronym when referring to free merchandise received by streetwear shops; s.w.a.g.= TUFF [W]E [A]LL [G]ET.

Didn't catch on until Lil B, Odd Future and finally Soulja Boy made the word an anthem, and their ties are pretty deep in that scene in Cali.

Lil B = Pink Dolphin

:guwop: = Fairfax

Soulja Boy = whatever lil b and odd future did at one point.

and Shakespeare is as much your homeboy as joseph goebbels.

 

[Uncle Baby Billy]

I find myself singing this to myself all the time because my infant boy has a toy that plays the original tune
I don't think it's that serious, they just tweaked the word cuz jagger rhymes better than jacker
It's not that serious.
