Understand Rap: Explanations of Confusing Rap Lyrics that You & Your Grandma Can Understand

Understand Rap provides humorous academic translations of lyrics from poets such as Terror Squad, Ice Cube, and Young Jeezy. Whether you are looking for trick-ass hoes, hurtful chinchillas, or the parts of Compton in which corpses are most readily found, this book is your gateway to all the slang your six-year-old is hip to. Please hammer don’t hurt ‘em! Example from "Lollipop" by Lil Wayne: Got so much chips, I swear they call me Hewlett-Packard is reframed as "I am so wealthy that people might mistakenly refer to me by the name of a large multinational computer manufacturer whose integrated circuits are commonly referred to by the same name that I and others use for money".
