This is the third part of the bi-weekly posting of the Rap Dictionary
to rec.music.hip-hop. It is extracted from the WWW version accessible at:

    http://www.rapdict.org/

This Rap Dictionary is not intended to show the only correct spelling of words;
slang is mostly a spoken language an noone exactly knows how to spell things. A
word might mean something other to you than displayed here; that is because all
words and corresponding meanings have been put in the list on a "goes until
challenged by someone" basis. 

I have followed the English rules, writing out words fully. Most verbs are
usually written differently, though. Take for example cruising, which will
usually be spelled like cruisin', or brother which is often seen as brotha. Some
starting with an `f' are often written with `ph', like phat or phunky. And what
to think of a thing like Doowutchalike? 

Where possible I have added a source to show in what context the word is being
used. Take a look at the definition below. 

    dap 
	 1) (n) Sort of high-five type of handshake. "Gimme a dap, I'll give you
         one back" -- Ice T. (Ziplock [1991])
	 2) (n) Dignity and Pride, old slang (think 70's here). 


Note the "a source" as in "just any source", I don't mean "the source", since
that would take ages of debating. 

Note that in slang or dialects the grammar is not strongly typed, so nouns can
be verbs etcetera. Slang for gun and penis is almost always interchangable. 

Wherever you encounter (?) I am not sure about whatever I am saying there. 
"???" means that I don't have that particular piece of information. If you know
more than me, please let me know. 

Please help making this list more complete. If it wasn't for the help of
the UseNet alt.rap community, this list wouldn't be one percent of its
current size.

	-- Boogie Down Productions (Love's gonna getcha [1990]).

peeling
	(n) What comes off when peeling a cap. "The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin'" 
	-- Ice Cube (Steady mobbin' [1991]) Note that Cube is paraphrasing a Parliament 
	line, where GC says "The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill", but the way he 
	says it, "pill" comes out sounding like peel". 

peeling caps
	(v) Killing someone by shooting him, shots to the head often disfigure it in such a

	Ice T. (O.G. original gangster).

	words in alt.rap by Charles L. Isbell: 
<BLOCKQUOTE> All of time can be divided 
	pretty easily this way:<P> - Everything before "Run DMC" (Run DMC [1984])<BR> - 
	Everything before "It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back" (Public Enemy 
	[1988])<P> It gets harder after that, but maybe you'd have to label parallel movements 
	with stuff like:<P> + Everything before "Straight Outta Compton" (NWA [1988]) 
	and "Amerikkka's Most Wanted" (Ice Cube [1990]) for the West Coast Gangsta 
	Movement<BR> + Everything before "3 Feet High And Rising" (De La Soul [1989]) and "Low End 
	Theory" (A Tribe Called Quest [1991]) for the Jazz/Bohemian Movement<P> Others seem 
	to think we're about to enter the Everything before "93 'Til Infinity" (Souls of 
	Mischief [1993]) era for the Ascendency of Hieroglyphics, but I'll reserve judgement 
	on that.<P> There are also several dark moments: MC Hammer ushered in the HipPop 
	Era and Vanilla "No I really used to be rich; May I take your order?" Ice ushered in 
	something unspeakable (Snow, if nothing else).<P> Hmmmmm, here's a way to pass the 
	time: what are the key moments/movements and what albums/artists best represent 
	them?  How have they influenced the direction of rap? Making no value judgements, 
	I'd have to say that the four most influential hiphop moments/movements are the 
	ones I listed above and for obvious reasons.</BLOCKQUOTE>

a close look at Ayman al

There is little in Ayman al Zawahiri's privileged background in a diverse Cairo suburb that foreshadows his emergence as the blood steeped ideologue who helped Osama bin Laden in his terrorist assault on the West, And who now succeeds him.

In the Maadi community where his father set up home in 1960, that when Zawahiri was 9, have been churches and a synagogue. Wealthy Egyptians and foreign people congregated at the Maadi Sporting Club; even though were never members, Zawahiri's father took him to the club to watch start up.

Zawahiri, A twin born by getting a sister in 1951, Is the scion of two marked Egyptian families. His father was a professor of pharmacology, And his maternal grandfather was the president of Cairo University. a magnificent uncle headed al Azhar, The most prestigious seat of Islamic scholarship at the center East.

Zawahiri was a first-rate student who, inside of the tutelage of a radical uncle, Began to form strong political and religious beliefs when young. As a 15 years old, He formed an underground cell bent on towards an Islamist state, And his activism become more intense at Cairo University, Where he studied healing system.

on 1978, After forces service, He engaged to be married Azza Nowair, The daughter of another prominent clan whose religious fervor attracted Zawahiri and alarmed her secular family. At the evening reception, No music or images were allowed, And the sexes were connectors, to be able to Lawrence Wright in his history of al Qaeda,

While accomplishing at a clinic in Cairo, Zawahiri was invited to go to Pakistan to assist in treating refugees and Afghan fighters wounded in the growing resistance to the Soviet invasion. Zawahiri made a wide range of short forays into Afghanistan itself and later wrote how he marveled at the bravery of the mujaheddin.

His own involved to be tested.

The cell Zawahiri founded as a teenager had by then coalesced with other compatible groups and become Jamaat al Jihad, otherwise the Jihad Group. A person in the group, Who was a junior officer in the Egyptian armed forces, Assassinated Egyptian chief executive Anwar Sadat in 1981.

Zawahiri [url=https://ukrainianwomenonlinedating.blogspot.com/]ukraine marriage[/url] was busted in the ensuing sweeps. He was suffering from beatings and torture, And friends and biographer, Montasser ing Zayyat, Said the treatment transformed Zawahiri into an unforgiving man of violence. Under discomfort, He definitely buckled. while in custody, He set up a friend and fellow conspirator who had for now eluded capture. Zawahiri began to testify against some of his fellow Islamists.

in the evening, At a mass trial, He was the unbowed spokesman for the defendants. "we are not sorry, He told the webcams. "people are here, The real Islamic front and the real Islamic visitors against Zionism, Communism and as a result imperialism,

In the penitentiary, Zawahiri met up Egypt's leading Islamist, Omar Abdul Rahman, your current "shade sheikh" that would be convicted for his role in the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993. But there seemed to be no communion, And the two ambitious men clashed bitterly over who should lead Egypt's Islamist radicals.

after the three year trial, Zawahiri was guilty but quickly released for time served. He soon chosen Saudi Arabia, And Zayyat said he fled the particular not for fear of further persecution but "because guilt of betraying his friends weighed so oppressively on his conscience,

with 1986, Zawahiri had moved on to Peshawar, Pakistan, Where he resumed his work as medical help in the anti Soviet fight. it will be easy that Zawahiri first met bin Laden while in Saudi Arabia, But the two became close in Pakistan, Where Zawahiri helped treat the Saudi's chronic health considerations.

in just 1997, whilst in Afghanistan, Zawahiri was needed to orchestrating the worst terrorist attack in Egyptian history the (...)

Regardless if you believe in God or not, this message is a "must-read"!!

All throughout time, we can see how we have been carefully conditioned coming to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that the Bible foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?

In Revelation 13:16-18, it states,

"He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles--Revelation 19:20) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666."

Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why so? Revelation 13:17 says that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!

These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one "OR" the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate both places, or one--not one OR the other!

This is where it comes together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implantable RFID microchip. These are notes from someone named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip:

"Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).

Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.

Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, criminal record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.

Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip."

Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore (...)
