Re: bling bling (Was RE: lord of the rhymes)

[brobborb]

check out the song "bling bling" from B.G featuring big tymers and the hot boys.  if you listen to the background music around the part where they say "bling bling", it's an actual bling bling sound.  if you saw the video, there are some parts where they show off their jewelry and it starts to sparkle, or bling, in sync with the sound.  I think originally the words bling bling were associated with the sound of diamonds and jewelry glistening, and as it got picked up in the mainstream, it also means jewelry, or anything of high value (car, clothes, property).

but this word has been raped so much I feel embarassed for whoever uses it heh.

whatever happened to crunk....and...errrr.....awesome

:D
