The Examiner has an interesting article about overused words in 2009…pretty interesting…I am sure I can think of another 10 words I would like MC’s to forget…but there’s also a few words/verses said this year that I would love to hear more too…maybe that’s an article I can write on a future post…

Personally I only fully agree with two of them, but Swag is slowly going up my list, everyone seems to have more Swag than the next man nowadays…

The Examiner list goes like this:

1. Hater (Agree)

The term is usually used to point out an individual that is spewing hate for no particular reason except because of pure envy; or that is how it started…

2. No Homo

It is with great pleasure that this writer holds no mercy on “No Homo.” The term is most popularly used to somehow exempt the person using it from appearing or displaying homosexual qualities…

3. Swag

Oh but yes, the infamous “Swag.” The term “Swag” is usually used to describe one’s style whether it be regarding fashion or just the essence of a person.

4. 1st (Couldn’t Agree More, Hate when people do this, Deam Childish)

The term “1st” isn’t really used in Hip-Hop per se, but you do see it in the comment areas of urban blogs and websites. Not sure how the word came to be, but it is used by commenter’s who somehow feel like winners when they are the first to comment on a post…

5. Guap

Though it shows much creativity, it somehow loses its pizzazz after those within the mainstream get a hold of it. Similar to the word “Bling”, “Guap” has become played out in its own right…

What do you think?
