  • What were your favorite write-ups?

  • What albums that didn't get a write-up did you think deserved one?

  • Did you discover out any dope album(s) that you hadn't heard before because it was in the series?

The use of "on" in Hip-Hop.

Posted: 17 Mar 2017 08:57 PM PDT

On

preposition

  1. physically in contact with and supported by (a surface).

Throughout hip-hop we hear the word "on" not only as a replacement for is/are e.g. "Pockets on swole"; but, also to facilitate comparison e.g. "Wrist on Rocky". I decided to follow the evolution and unique use.

Picture Me Rollin'- 2Pac- 1996

"Pockets on swollen"

This is the earliest use of the word "on" used as a replacement for the word "are" that I was able to find.

Just a Lil' Bit- 50 Cent- 2005

"Pockets on swoll cause I move the O's"

Nothing to see here. 50 being influenced and adding a classic line to his flow.

Bill Gates- Lil Wayne- 2010

"Bitch I get big bucks, pockets on Bruce Bruce"

Wayne being ever the innovator with the earliest switch up that I traced down. Before these lyrics "on" could be replaced by "are/is" for the sentence to make sense; these lyrics make it so that "like" is a better replacement than "are/is". Instead of saying his pockets are on swole he just says that they are on something that is swole; most of the earliest lyrics, that I found, that were similarly changed up can be credited to Wayne. On Bill Gates in September 2010 and 6 foot 7 foot in December 2010.

E.T. (Remix)- Kanye West- 2011

"Pockets on Shrek, rockets on deck"

I added this song to the list because it is one of the first lyrics (that don't belong to Lil Wayne) that use "on" to compare

Chris Tucker- 2 Chainz- 2013

"Got my pockets on full, stomach on full, gun on full, I got full coverage"

We are no longer restricted to just talking about how full our pockets are; 2 chainz innovates the use of the word further paving the way for newer more creative uses.

For Free- Drake- June 2016

"You got attitude on na na

And your pussy on agua

And your stomach on flat flat

And your ass on what's that?"

Drake hits us with a set of rhymes utilizing the word "on" on his summer hit.

X- 21 Savage- 2016

"Wrist on Milly Rock them diamonds on me dancin'"

Disclaimer: I know this list is incomplete and I am continuing my search. If anyone notices important lyrics that were left out or innovations that were credited to the wrong lyricist let me know and I will update the post. For the purpose of this post I posted the lyrics and the name of the quoted lyricist next to the name of the song; I know For Free is Khaled's song not Drake's.
