Can we talk about this?

So I just found this HIPHOP用語集, a glossary of hip hip vocabulary. Just words used in or around hip hop (usually in phonetic katakana) with Japanese definitions.

Nothing seems egregiously wrong (though does anyone actually use the word 'overground'?) but there are some entries that I kind of like.

One of the definitions for ドープ (dope) is 奥深い, as in deep or profound.

"B-boy/b-girl" says that the "B" is from break, and it originally had to do with breakdancing. Recently, though, it indicates someone who lives by hip hop. Or so it says.

ビッチ is given as 尻軽女, which just means a loose woman.

My favorite, though, is

『バスタ』
悪ガキ。


yous a busta
