The use of "posse" is probably even more egregious.
THAT'S bad? I say "jams" all the time. Hip Hop jams, funk jams, latin jams...
Also, that list up there actually makes me, an American who has struck many of those poses in my youth, feel a little ridiculous seeing it all boxed up and broken down that way.
Eff it though, I ain't above striking a B-Boy stance from time to time.
This book explores the character-driven compositional choices that make The Love Below a pop concept album in the tradition of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Each and every track on The Love Below is comprehensively examined with theoretical analyses and musical transcriptions, while the thematic characters and narratives are examined to illustrate the cohesive concept of the album. Outkast's career growth is examined in comparison with that of The Beatles, revealing fascinating parallels between these innovators of Hip-Hop and Rock.

HOW TO DO A DOPE POSING PHOTO:
1. first of all you simply have to look good!
2. There are different types of posing: (you can choose one of these examples)
- "Bad Boy": the face makes the look. push your bottom lip forward. bend your brows. (Tim Dog)
- "Gangster" : cars, money, nacked women and guns are very important. (NWA)
- "Vaughn Bode" : bend your body backwards, it makes you look more gum. (Cheech Wizzard)
- "Outta Space" : send laser blasts with your hands. (Flash Gordon)
- "Think about it" : direct your forfinger meditative to your head. (Def Jeff)
- "Bodybuilder" : forget it, if you dont train your body at least once a week. (LL.Cool J)
- "Holy" : in view of the sky below, fold your hands in front of your chest. (Afrika Bambaataa)
- "Adidas" : Pose your feet in the right position (make the three stripes seenable.) (Run DMC)
- "Pointer" : Your finger points at something. (good for graffiti writers to point on their piece)
- "Freeezer" : You stop to dance and freeze to please... (Crazy Legs)

Also: "hip hop jams"
Reminds me of that Masta Ase skit where he's the taecher of Hardcore Rap 101.
"Its important that u own a gun."
"Excuse me but i dont have a gun."
"It doesnt matter if you have a gun or not, just act like u got a gun!"
from their 'Best of 07' section.

M*rs is in that book. He let me borrow the Lil B book and he said "You can take this one too." I was like naaaaaah.
So "jam" as in song = "DOPE?"
Also, I'm curious, Faux...do you never use, ahem, "Hip Hop slang" or do you just stay with the times and change up when one becomes stale?
My ears dont burn when i hear/read jam.
SAY NO TO DOPE
That's dope.
These days, rarely.
Skinny jeans, smoking a clover, wearing a fedora...
"the real hip-hop is over Here!"
How about Buddy Holly glasses, skate shoes or Nike SB's, and carpenter pants with paint all over them from their murals. Maybe a Kangol to top it off.
I iz having such a hard time translating dat into da real life...photo of da 'more gum' pose?
Don't remember sending my picture in.
This had me laughing on the floor for the last 20 minutes...
wtf haha
