Ready For Some Regional Rap Slang?
Don’t mortify yourself by saying “fo’ shizzle”
to someone from Chicago or
by expecting Hi-Tek slang to be recognized
outside of the Cincinnati metropolitan area. (No offense, Nati residents.)
Rap slang can be as hyper-regionalas sports alliances.
With the help of M.I.M.’s lyrical breakdown
about how each part of the US raps,
we created an atlas of five notable words from each region.
East Coast rap
East Coast rap is most famous for its NYC origins
—rap as we know it was born in the South Bronx
and developed from Queens to Virginia Beach.
We could write an article on
Wu-Tang’s Staten Island-based lyrical innovations alone;
choosing just five words from the East Coast,
the birthplace of hip hop,
is as challenging as a rose growing through concrete.
C.R.E.A.M. or Cash Rules Everything Around Me
originated in NYC, specifically Staten Island.

Get the money, dollar dollar bill, y’all.”

Everyday use: Should I spend Tuesday night hanging out with my grandma, or picking up extra dog walking shifts?
Hmm, C.R.E.A.M.—I’ll choose the paid labor.”

In a lyric: “Let’s get the dough and stay real jiggy.”

West Coast rap
Rap may have started in New York, but California taught it how to chill out and slow down.

whether LA’s rap terminology is more innovative thanthe Bay Area’s
—Snoop Dogg and E-40 have been there, and the debate ain’t pretty.

Southern rap

—has some of the richest and most prolific online record-keeping of their regional terms.

–Lil Boosie, “Do the Ratchet”
Everyday use: Ken was naturally offended when someone accused his neighborhood of being rachet.
Midwest rap
The Midwest, which encompasses songs celebrating the toughest aspects of gang life and the softer backpack rap of the Twin Cities, is quite diverse.
That’s because we’re including everything that’s not the South, Eastern Seaboard, and Cali in the Midwestern school of hip hop—which admittedly tends to be Chicago-dominated.
Here are some Midwestern highlights (and, in the case of ICP, lowlights).

Usage Notes
Rapping on 'Bad Rap' and 'Bad Rep' (and 'Bad Wrap')
If a 'rap' is a "negative reputation," what's the charge against 'rep'?
What to Know
Bad rap is the original phrase meaning "a bad or undeserved reputation."
Bad rep, which contains the literal shortening of "reputation," has historically been interpreted as a spelling error, but has seen enough usage to merit entry.
Bad wrap is considered wrong and is best saved for referring to wraps and tortillas.
Modifiers describeor limit a word or phrase in a sentence.
They can be adjectives or adverbs, or phrases serving as such.
Bad and bum are modifiersin the terms bad rap and bum rap,
and they pin rap with a negative connotation.
A bad/bum rap tends to mean that a person or thing is unfairly
or undeservedly being punished or criticized.
“Opossums get a bad rap because of their tail. But they do so much good. They eat ticks, carrion, rotten fruits and vegetables. They don’t carry rabies. They deserve much more credit.” — Pam Lefferts, quoted in The Hartford Courant, 13 May 2019
After years of getting a bum rap, wallpaper has returned with a vengeance. Think ultra-stylish prints, dimensional fabrics and new materials that make installation and removal a breeze. Decidedly more dramatic than paint, wallpaper is also a relatively affordable way to transform a room. — Linda White, The Toronto Sun, 13 May 2019

'Rap' as Related to Punishment
Usage of rap in senses relating to censure or punishment
goes back to the 18th century, which is illustrated in constructions
such as "to take/get the rap for"
or "a rap on/over/across the knuckles"
(a euphemism for punishment).
By the 19th century, in American slang,
rap became a term for a prison sentence,
as in "to beat the rap" ("to avoid being sent to jail for a crime")
or "serving a 10-year rap."
Those senses influenced rap sheet,
referring to an individual's police arrest record.
The meaning "a negative and often undeserved reputation or charge" followed, and today it most often occurs in
the said collocations bad rap and bum rap.
(Bum, by the way, can mean "not valid or deserved"
and is believed to be a shortening of bummer,
a modification of German Bummler, meaning"loafer,"
from the verb bummeln, "to dangle or to loaf.")
Like a criminal accusation, a bad rap is something that a person
or thing is hit with
(rap's original meaning is onomatopoetic
and refers to a sharp blow or knock).
Essentially, when a person or thing"earns," "receives," "gets,"
or the like, a bad rap, it gains a bad reputation.
Which brings us to the term bad rep.

Is 'Bad Rep' Wrong?
Why should you get a bad rap for using bad rep in place of bad rap
when, by definition,
bad rap can be broken down to mean"a bad and undeserved reputation"?
We don't know exactly.
Criticism of bad rep as a misspelling of bad rap seems outmoded.
Merriam-Webster is a descriptivist (not prescriptivist) dictionary publisher. In other words, our dictionaries record the English language as it is actually used rather than dictate how the language ought to be used.
(We ensure this by critically analyzing usage evidence.)
We see evidence that bad rap and bad rep are used interchangeably,
and our definition of rap reflects that.
Perhaps continual usage (but, more importantly, reader and listener approval) will clear the bad rap of bad rep as a synonym for bad rap.
Bad wrap as a substitute, however, is not supported.
Trial attorneys can get a bad wrap. What do you think can be done (or is being done) to expel this stereotype?— The Legal Examiner, 23 Oct. 2018
Watching TV gets a bad wrap among driven, productivity-obsessed entrepreneurs. — Inc., 30 Apr. 2019

you might be given a bad rap
—but we are seeing the light of synonymous bad rep usage.
Unless you have taken a bite out of a bad tortilla or pita wrap, please refrain from using bad wrap. It's not palatable.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Older Than They Look: 'Hipster,' 'Rap,' and More
Current-Sounding Words That Aren't So New
'Rap,'
Earliest Known Usage:
1787
Example:
"I shall be most glad of my Lords arrival if it were only for the raps you promise me." - Joseph Ritson, Letters to Rowntree, 1787
About the Word:
Rap is a word with a wide variety of meanings.
There is no doubt that the word began to be used to describe a musical form originating in African-American communities in the late 1970s,
and it was also in colloquial use to refer to a pitch or spiel
(as in "he's got a good rap") in the 1950s.
But rap has also been in use since 1787 (possibly as a shortened alteration of the word repartee) to refer simply to conversation or talk.
