Tupac used the word "Bling" to refer to diamonds before Lil Wayne did

[Mac Casper]

Stop the presses because this is about to rock the world as you know it.

Lil Wayne's biggest contribution to the hip-hop community, the word "bling" was actually first used to refer to diamonds by Tupac in 1996 on the track "Let's Be Friends"

(right after the 40 second mark)



"Was it me or the fame, my d!ck or the game, bet I scream "WEST SIDE!" when I came" - that line goes harder than anything in "Hit 'Em Up"

Except Lil' Wayne didn't coin the term in his own crew.

Your actually lame enough to think that rappers come up with slang and aren't merely repeating slang that they heard in the streets. I bet you think 90's death row came up with referring to each other as "dog" too.
