Hip Hop Music uses a variety of Slang terms that have changed as hip hop itself has evolved and changed. Much of its Lexicon is drawn from African American Vernacular English . Hip hop slang makes use of alternative pronunciations, mostly drawn from AAVE; ordinary words given new meanings; new coinages and Portmanteau words; and Vernacular phrases. The slang used in a hip hop record can often date it to a certain era and/or school of hip hop. As the hip hop culture has expanded worldwide, non-Americans and even non-English speakers have increasingly borrowed from and contributed to the slang of hip hop, often modifying the meanings of words to their own uses.
