IT'S JUST A TERM THEY USE IN AN EFFORT TO BE COOL AND SHOW YOU RESPECT.
Honestly, that is probably the problem...stop trying to be "cool"...since when does being "cool" involves trying? I mean, be urself...I would chill with a skateboarder who listens to nothing but rock and we had nothing in common before I hung out with a guy who was a chameleon and tried to copy every hip hop latest trend to seem "cool"...
"Cool" is who you are, not what you do...some people got it and some dont...one of my boy's is the biggest chameleon's ever...if he hangs around gang members, he all of a sudden will start saying "blood"..when we(me and my other boy) first met him, he only listened to East Coast rap and hated everything else..after a couple of years with him, he all of sudden didnt listen to any east coast rappers..he liked all Brotha lynch and west coast music..he also used to hate fast rap because he said they didnt say anything(which was false), but now he likes Twista, Tech N9ne, Bone THugs, etc...all because of us...it became annoying because we knew he was gonna switch up depending on whatever we liked...
Oh, he was the guy that was in music/dance class in high school, now he smokes weed and say Blood all day...lol...its funny, but also sad...I love the guy because he is a homie, but I dont respect his ways...in the end BE URSELF....
P.S. My bad for the rant...I just strongly dislike when people try hard to "fit in" or be "cool"...
