I meant people in the word. Future made it a hot phrase.

I started hearing my Lil Cuzz that's in atl say turn up a few years ago. Back when 2 chains was on his mixtape run. So the south been saying that shyt. People that just started listening to future last summer seems to think he the one that started it.

No one said he started it. He just made it a nationwide catch phrase.

no ... "Tun Up" is originally a jamaican slang stemming from early 2000's ... but yes recently "turn up" has originated .. but still pay homage to the dancehall artists thats been using it for ever which many of these hip hop rappers copy their whole style/swag

wrong, turn up and that jamaican shyt aint got shyt to do with each other


It didn't get big til Wiz started using it. Then Future made it explode into the social media mantra that it's become.

wrong, wiz didn't start shyt and he's a fakkit from pittsburgh so don't even bring him up

it wuz an LA phrase that came out around mid 2000s (05) during tha jerk movement

ATL later adapted it in tha late 2000s and changed it from turnt up to "turn up"

none of this is true, my nikka you could be in a thread about philly cheesesteaks and make it seem like they originated in california :laff:



how hard is it for nikkas to just admit that atlanta been running the swag/slang/music game for the past 2 decades

nikkas been saying turnt up down here since i was in middle school...after a fight nikkas would be in the hallways like "damn yall aint see ol boy get on that mans head, that nikka was turnt up"

i have heard cali nikkas say it, but only after it had been a trend down here for years

"turn down for what" is just an extension of turn up, who gives a shyt who said it first...anybody going around yelling that out is a cornball anyway

turn up has almost run its course anyway, real nikkas finna bring back that T-Pain swag...we back to goin digital this summer :whoo:

Show me a song from Atlanta that was saying turnt up prior to late 2000s


I've watched the word progress when it got popular in LA mid 2000s , no other region wuz saying it, then a few years later Atlanta hops on it with roscoe dash gettin Mohawks like LA and saying turnt up etc all the shyt from the jerk movement

I ain't bout to argue bout a word though :yeshrug:

Edit* even on :hamster: I wuz saying turnt up constantly, y'all Atlanta nikkaz never said it once during that time period, y'all started when future, Jeezy and them jumped on it recently

The Term Started In Los Angeles,California in late 2007
