Every time "I Got It Made" comes up in my playlist, I think of this thread and thank ILX.

is there a rap equivalent of "i just wanted to say i have been otm in this thread"

Neanderthal, Monday, 22 July 2013 00:37 (ten years ago) link

"word is born", essentially?

sassy, fun, and RELATABLE (forksclovetofu), Monday, 22 July 2013 00:39 (ten years ago) link

its 'bond'

rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 22 July 2013 01:56 (ten years ago) link

Born makes more sense.

Studied keyboard mash (tsrobodo), Monday, 22 July 2013 02:19 (ten years ago) link

it's definitely "word is bond", although obv Run-DMC had a song called "Word is Born", soooooooooo

Neanderthal, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:44 (ten years ago) link

it's both and they have different meanings

sassy, fun, and RELATABLE (forksclovetofu), Monday, 22 July 2013 03:02 (ten years ago) link

word is born = "i just wanted to say i have been otm in this thread"
word is bond = well, word is bond

sassy, fun, and RELATABLE (forksclovetofu), Monday, 22 July 2013 03:04 (ten years ago) link

hence the first being used by childish gambino and the latter used by basically everyone who's ever been in hip hop.

The opening line of EPMD's "I'm Housin'" -- "Coolin' on the scene like a horse in a stable" -- is like the opposite of this. Heard it a million times but never noticed it started with such a weird-ass line.

"Word is Born" vs. "Word is Bond" was an Important Debate during my high school years. I think of "Word is Born" as being like "And thus it was written" or maybe "QED"

I don't know Word is Born outside of the Run DMC track but Word is Bond is from the Five Percenters:

Five Percenters were the innovators behind early hip-hop slang, including "'sup, G?" (originally "G" means God, not gangsta), "Word is bond," "Break it down," "Peace," "droppin' science," and "represent."

Oh man, I've had this wrong for years, it's actually "Listen to me now, don't listen to me later."

Not banal in content, but Drake's delivery of "Last night I tried some raw oysters" really puts it in this category IMO.
