Found it!!!

Hey I dont know how many people had read my post about slang before this, "what the heck did my teen just say?" I had mentioned about a place where I found hip-hop song lyrics and its "white" or regular english translation. All this black slang thing is really funny! On chappelle`s show, in a episode, he makes fun of Lil john for only exclaiming "yeah, what and okay" and also said something about a slang called "skeet". Yes, I`ve heard it too in song "get low" which was in need for speed underground. He says, "I dont know how they`re allowing that to be said on television. Maybe they just dont know its meaning yet. But hell are they going to freak out when they know what that means...they`re gonna be like 'Oh my god how did we let them say that? we`re gonna have to stop them from saying that!' "
So, when I too used a slang in my new blog I thought questions were gonna come up and so I set out to discover its meaning. But I landed on this page first! It has translation of a english song filled with black slang to one without one. To be honest, I never really liked the song or the video but it was very popular!
And now, for the first time, I`m gonna post a video on my blog page. since its related...here is Black eyed peas, My Humps!!!



Lets hope this is working. while youre listning and after, go to this page to see the lyrics and the translation
But again, what`s the meaning of pimp when used in context like the title of the popular tv show "pimp my ride"? well I found a page on WIKI that says "The verb "to pimp" has acquired a meaning not related to prostitution: to promote, to advertise or to push, as in "ESPN has really been pimping T.O. a lot lately." It may also mean "to make attractive/fancy" as popularized on the American TV series Pimp My Ride. Cars that have been poorly maintained are made "pimp" through repair and refurbishment, often with thousands of dollars of extravagant equipment."

there you go! Have fun laughing at those slangs!
