not a slang term, but it deserves mentioning: on the great Lord of the Mics DVD, in all the bits between the battles where MCs say 'yo i'm whoever, this is lotm' or advertise record shops and Garvey's Barber shop, everybody ends half their sentences with ", yeah?" I love it, it seems like a combination of the sentiments expressed in "innit?" (mentioned by ma bro on the "cool" thread) and all those terms like "trust me" and bless and "you know (the koo)". These guys are on intimate terms with their audience, they're neighbours, they understand each other, they're down, know the score etc, yeah? There's so much love in the grime scene to make up for all the hate. (...sorry, took acid the other day)
also, nobody's mentioned this, have they? from a "golden oldie", Wiley's 'I Will Not Lose':
cant see me in the manor
willy just creep through the manor
bare gun man in my manor
niggers dont care in the manor
you might get jacked in the manor
some of them chat shit in the manor
i know, cause i use to be a prick in my manor
learn nuff tings in the manor
stay very low in the manor
no holds barr in the manor gonna show them
the blazing fire, the flame to make i break your set
take it to the neck and i say
you know im gonna take it to the neck and a sket
cause im a veteran
check out this lyrical flex
im a chedda man not begga man
gal wedger man, a bigger man
quite clever man, flop, never man
incase you wanna know, e3 thats a manor
now we're gonna hit em with the slammer
And let's not forget "roll deep", although the only non-Roll Deep member I can think of right now who used it is Shystie (she's underrated but she's a bit of a biter, calls herself a pitbull in a skirt and all). Is rolling deep the exact opposite of flossing, blazing, getting one's shine on etc? ...which reminds me, it's funny how blaze can mean merk as well as shine. "If you wanna be John Wayne on the road then go ahed you will get blazed on the road" not really a contradiction at all though is it
