Yeah, just search ebay for jungle CDs and look for ones from 1994 or 1995 - you will get unlimited amounts of rolling ragga jungle goodness for, literally, pennies.petergunn said:

Very nice idea Paul! I got the impression it was when a banger dropped that demanded a large amount of head-noddage, Churchill being the dog in the car in the adverts.
I prefer yr inference though
Man should be called Sgt. Jokes though, i cant get enough of his abrupt comedic one-liners!

The Trap
The spot that you sell drugs from is called a "Trap" or "The Trap" if it's a strip that contains a bunch/crew of trappers or D Boys aka Dope Boys . The act of selling drugs is called "Trapping" and when you become popular/rich you become a "Trap Star" or a "Ghetto Celebrity". It's Atlanta/GA slang primarily and diffrent parts of the US have different names for it. In Detroit, they're called "Chedda Boys". One.

Nope!
It refers specifically to the paint job/customization job done on the cars/vehicles that artists from the South/West drive in. It's prevalent in Atlanta, Memphis, Houston, and parts of California...not done on the East Coast that often except for Miami/FL. One.

NAaah, man.
Chedda is slang for money. Since they always have a hell of a lot of money or project that their doing well financially, they're referred to as "Chedda Boys". One.

You're sure about that? I thought maybe:
Cheese = Enticement/Temptation
Innocent youth = Mouse
Trap = Crack habit/bad debt to dealer
Actually, when I posted 3 hrs or so ago I really did think the cheese/crack explanation was sound.
Now it seems absurd.
BUT
Why does Chedda = Money?
We come back to the cheese as bait theory.
Money is the bait in the trap. We are all mice.
Unless I get a better explanation for the Chedda thing I'm sticking with it.

In the Northeastern part of the US (where Hip Hop culture originated and the aesthetic that hip hp purists refer to as "real hip hop" was formed) around 15 or 16 years ago, cats started saying "One Love" (like the Bob Marley song) at the end of songs or messages or letters and it soon expanded to phone calls. The meaning became expanded around 1992 to represent "One Love, One God, One Nation, One Destiny..." it became an all encompassing phrase hat represented the unification of Black people and Latinos through music, specifically urban music (reggae, R&B/Soul, Hip Hop/Rap). That meaning soon expanded to represent the unification of ALL PEOPLE through urban music once it maded serious headway into pop culture in the US as well as worldwide. People often made variations on it like "One Hundred" (as in percent, how much they're willing to give to accomplish their goal). It got shortened it "One" around 1993 but it's been in use since at least late 1989. I've been saying it and hearing it since then. It's used often in hip hop (Nas' "One Love", Ghostface's "One", etc.) At the end of Jay Z's verse in "Crazy In Love" he says it if you pay attention. In the movie "Belly" starring Nas and DMX they use it about 50 times alone...it's a common word to me so I'm often surprised when people ask me what it means online. It's akin to "Peace", "I'm Out", "Audi 5000", "Ghost", "Swayze (EPMD's take on saying "Ghost") or "See Ya". One.
