Thank god! Now I finally understand what a "hoochie mama" is. This may be my next blog title, as in "I'm a Hoochie Mama." But that may necessitate the purchase of some knee-high boots (preferably red) and a too-short skirt, which I don't think I can get away with, despite the fact that I may think I'm a Hoochie Mama.
God, the life you lead.
Regarding Dr. Write and the too-short skirt: if not now, when?
They don't have lots and lots of ice any more?
What about gin and juice?
Please help an old fogie understand your language and define these terms:
4. Hoochie mamas
5. Bling
6. Do-rags
7. Swisher Sweets
18. Hoes
22. Flat irons
39. Fat beats
40. Stolen hooks
50. Skeezers
4. Hoochie mamas are the girls you see in rap videos, especially Six Mixalot's "Baby Got Back." Whorish attire, hot pants, plunging necklines, etc.
5. Bling or "bling bling"...Gold, diamonds, and other sparkly valuables.
6. Do-rags or "doo-rags"..Those bandanaish headscarves some African American men wear.
7. Swisher Sweets...cigarillos? Smaller than a cigar, bigger than a cigarette. Hollow out the Swisher and fill it with weed and you have a "blunt."
18. Hoes: Whores, prostitutes, or anyone who dresses in a totally slutty "hoochyish" way
22. Flat irons: To straighten the hair of the hoochie mamas.
39. Fat beats or "phat beats": Powerful drum machine beats that rappers rap to...Usually with lots of bass.
40. Stolen hooks: aka "sampling." Taking a chorus from an old R&B classic and building a song around it.
50. Skeezers: Rap groupies. See hoochie mamas.
re #22: flat irons. My hair dresser (Mame) told me to get a flat iron to make my hair straight. I am a Hoochie Mama!
Theorris, I just did another one last night (20 hours) for this guy named Young Jeezy. Apparently, he had one of his "assistants" go to the trailer and demand three fifths of Bombay Sapphire, so the gin and juice was flowing, baby....later he was asking for smokables...
He also had a huge entourage of about forty people that clustered around camera and made it difficult to work. At one point I started singing the Public Enemy classic "Too Much Posse," and these new-generation rappers didn't know what I was referring to. Amazing.
