I hail from Poland (Lublin, the largest city in Eastern Poland, is my home town.) I spent many many years in London (England) as well as the States... and even though I speak English (both British and American) fluently, this esoteric American hip-hop slang still amazes me and sometimes is all Greek to me! For real! You know what I'm saying, it ain't so easy for a Pole to be always up-to-date with it...
I bet you'd get into a state when you tried to translate a Polish hip-hop track, containing stacks of Polish hip-hop slang phrases! Got it? So it ain't like I don't understand anything, dawg! Just happens sometimes I don't dig some single words that seem to be crucial to get a song right! (E.g. ask a John Doe what "dead presidents" means, huh?)
Recapitulating, please forgive me my ignorance and inconvenience, but I think this forum is the right place to get some wisdom from ya'll... And hopefully we're even... However if I'm wrong and ya wanna diss me, I'll get out... so please lemme know if I'm some kinda "persona non grata" over hurr, a'ight? Holla @ me! Peace out for now! 1
