For me, I recognized the limitlessness and beautiful dynamism and adaptability of urban/hip-hop language when I heard, for the first time, the expression:
"it's on like Donkey Kong"
This was years ago, and I still treasure it. Not in an ironic way. I love it for the creative and playful way that it expresses a conflict that is coming to a head, yet compares this conflict to a silly, trifiling, cartoonish battle. It can be a serious or a mock conflict or anything in-between. Awesome. I think the brothers (Hudlins?) that did American Pimp should do a docu in which they try to trace back the greatest urban expressions to the maestros that first coined them. I don't want points on the box office for the idea--I just want a courtesy DVD, and an invite to the premiere.
