Philly deserves more respect for the slang it has created

Went to college in Philly late 90s-00s. They were rocking those beards before anyone, me and my peoples called them Philly beards. Aside from jawn and bul (however you spell it) I also heard:

That's what's up
Ock or ahk (?)


One of my boys was getting a haircut and they put black paint on his sideburns without asking! He was heated!! Haha I think they started that wave too, they weren't doing that in NY. Also I was there during the neo soul explosion and that combined with the high number of 5 percenters leads me to believe it was the birthplace of the modern Hotep. I remember a lot of nikkas talking that bullshyt on campus and the surrounding neighborhoods.

I’ll give y’all jawn(I hear my lil nikkas say it) but we don’t say none of that other shyt. Never even heard a few of those lol.

As far as dvds only smack sub zero n cocaine city was in rotation.

U had to go to philly to cop throwbacks when they first came out so I’ll give u that.

Congratulations.
