Standing in a snowy neighborhood, he systematically translates terms like 'bop', 'opp', 'drip', and 'rack' through rhyming couplets, paying homage to Big L's classic track 'Ebonics' while updating the vocabulary for a new generation.

Transcript

Oh, pay attention and listen real closely how I break this slingshot down. If you acting crazy, then you drawn. A person plays a thing as a draw. A call from out Tier States is a fawn. Look, a very loose chick is a bop. 12 of the boys is a cop. Anyone you don't fuck with is a I. The knife code you got on is your drip. A gun is a polo or a blip. Keep one because you know how it gets. These days, though, they come with a switch. They don't rumble for shit. You lose your girl, then you fumbled your bitch. You switched sides, then you probably turned your back on the fam. A thousand dollars is a rack or bin. I know you in real life, and that's not how you act on the rank. If I say you dick eating, then you act like a fan. Watch your mouth. You rank get put in the back of a van. Because I look a lot nicer than I actually am. Yeah. I know you like the way I'm freaking it. I talk with slang and I'm a never stop speaking it. That's just the way that I talk, yo. Vocabulary spills, I'm ill. Speak with criminal slang. That's just the way that I talk, yo.
