Bay Area Slang tha Dictionary...

The Politics of "Hyphy"
Snoop Dogg, et al. have pilfered Bay Area hip-hop slang for years. No more.

BY ERIC K. ARNOLD
eric.arnold@eastbayexpress.com

We pass new slang terms around like joints -- quietly, coyly, and informally. But that informality often clouds the issue of who first rolled the doobie in question. To this end, Bay Area hip-hop deserves a hell of a lot more credit.

The cultural significance of slang has only grown with the advent of the hip-hop era -- terms once far outside the mainstream's cultural nexus have become familiar, even ubiquitous. When Oakland rap group 3X Krazy was spitting out phrases like "Fa sheezy weezy in the keezy" (translation: "For certain, we feel at home") back in the mid-'90s, no one could've possibly predicted that nearly a decade later, Fran Drescher (TV's The Nanny) would one day say "Fa shizzle" in an Old Navy commercial.

Yes, the Yay Area is sick and tired of having its slang bitten, after years of local MCs watching helplessly as their regional expressions were co-opted by out-of-town rappers, talk-show hosts, celebrities, and even politicians: Who can ever forget the Reverend Jesse Jackson saying "Fa shizzle ma nizzle" at an awards show a few years back?

These days, terms like "It's all good" and "Off the hook" are as popular at sporting events as hip-hop shows. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Girls Gone Wild and Soul Plane star Snoop Dogg hosts a TV show called Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, yet that terminology actually originated on the Oakland streets, and was later borrowed by Vallejo-based E-40 -- who credited 3X Krazy with "lacing" him back in 1996, noting the group "taught me how to say 'Fa sheezy. '"

Snoop is actually a repeat offender: Back when he was known as Snoop Doggy Dogg, he gaffled Too $hort's famous rallying cry, "Biiiiiiiiiitch!," as did numerous others, including E-40 and B-Legit, who at least introduced the clever variants "Bootch" and "Batch."(Another local alternate phrasing of the B-word is "Breezy," which sounds sophisticated, but isn't.)

More recently, Lil' Jon and the Ying Yang Twins had a platinum single with "Get Low," which happens to be the name of a Fillmore rap crew, the Get Low Playaz, who first popularized the term (and its corresponding dance) in 1994 with the song "Game Recognize Game." Similarly, terms such as "Pop yo' colla" and "Real talk" were an integral part of Yay Area slang years before they became national catchphrases.

With current Bay Area words like "Hyphy" -- a combination of "hype" and "fly" popularized by the Federation/E-40 song of the same name -- already making the national rounds, some local artists are taking the unusual step of attempting to copyright their original phrases before someone else does.

According to KPFA air personality and rapper T-Kash, speech that can be identified with an individual person or group has an inherent economic value: "It's not just slang. It's a commodity." He notes that Dephunk Gotti of Oaktown crew Products of My Environment has already copyrighted his favorite sayings ("Instantly" and "Buttlucker"), while Mistah Fab, another Oakland rapper, has done the same with "On-mamas" (derived from the ever-popular "I put that on my mama"). Mistah Fab has particular motivation to shield himself and his verbiage: His term "Nig-Latin," obviously affectionate in his case, was co-opted and used as a slur by white supremacist Web sites without his consent.

As Fab relates, he received an e-mail from a group based out of Montgomery, Alabama, which used "Nig-Latin" as an example of how "suburban youth has been corrupted" by black culture to the point where they "no longer speak proper English." His stunned reaction: "That tripped me out!" Slang, he explains, "is just the way we communicate," offering up a few choice examples: "Like 'Yurp,' when they say 'Yurple,' that's, like, marijuana. Like a person'll be like, man, you got some yurp? Some Barney? Barney is purple. Purple kush, you know what I mean?"

The incident spurred the rapper to look into protecting what he deemed his own linguistic innovations. After all, he wouldn't want the following scenario to become reality: "Say I'm in the studio with Snoop and I say, 'Man, pass me that Barney right now, let me get on space.' And he be like, 'Aw, that was clean,' and he comes out with a song called 'I'm Using Barney in Space.' Everybody gonna be like, 'Oh, Snoop crazy, Snoop came up with it. '"

As for Snoop's TV show, Fab says, "Aw, c'mon. 3X Krazy came out with that so long ago, 'Tribble ribble my nizzle,' you know, that's hilarious." By copyrighting his phrases, Fab thinks he can prevent that from happening to him: "C'mon, man, we plant this soil, we fertilized this soil, y'all grow up from our game, and then y'all don't even want to acknowledge the things we done gave y'all?"

Best of all, he says, it's free (or at least, relatively cheap) to make one's slang official. "It's basic copyright clauses," he explains. "You go get your paperwork, you send off your words -- at the most, it's gonna cost you about nine, ten dollars. You send that off, and once that's certified you, that's you."

Or is it? T-Kash points to the legal precedent set by sports announcer Michael Buffer, who trademarked the phrase "Let's Get Ready to Rrrrrrrrrumble" (or "LGRTR," as Buffer's Web site phrases it). Whenever "LGRTR" is uttered -- be it a pay-per-view boxing match, a NASCAR race, an episode of The Simpsons, or a Hollywood film like Ocean's Eleven -- Buffer is paid a licensing fee.

But Oakland-based entertainment attorney Michael Ashburne isn't so sure slang can be owned by anyone. Ashburne, who specializes in sampling and copyright issues in addition to representing numerous rappers (including the Hieroglyphics), says that for any given slang phrase, copyrighted or not, "for someone to have a case about the use of this word, you'd have to say, 'It was created in my song, I copyrighted the song, and you can't use that word."

The problem, he adds, is that "just by putting it in the song doesn't mean it takes it out of the public domain. Just because you heard something other people said and put it in your song doesn't necessarily give you the right to copyright it."

Ashburne speculates, however, that "If you called somebody by 'Fa Shnizzle,' and that was your name, and you performed in this area, then under common law, you could acquire rights to that name ... [if] people recognize you by that name." But the commonality of speech would make invention and ownership of slang difficult to prove. "I doubt very seriously that a slogan by itself could rise to the level of a protected trademark," he says.

And until a precedent is set by a court ruling -- as ultimately happened with sampling cases involving De La Soul and Biz Markie-- copyrighting slang will likely remain a gray area where the law is concerned. If E-40, for instance, found out someone else was using his slang even after he had it copyrighted, "he would have to find that it was worthwhile going after such a person and making an issue of it and going to court and getting a decision -- all of which happened on the sampling side," Ashburne explains. "The same process would have to take place before people would know the limits of how you could use a phrase that was trademarked by a rapper in connection with his goods and services. That's what would have to happen."

Let's hope it does, before we see the Nanny cooing over some low-rise cargo capri khakis: "That's hyphy! Ya smell me?"

Vallejo woman shot to death in Sacramento

Vallejo woman shot to death in Sacramento

Marissa Ann Flores Krog

By J.M. BROWN, Times-Herald staff writer

A young woman who worked with special-education students at Jesse Bethel High School was killed early Sunday morning in a drive-by shooting in Sacramento, police and relatives confirmed.
Marissa Ann Flores Krog, 26, of Vallejo was pronounced dead at the scene near 29th and N streets. She was shot in the neck by unknown assailants who fired into the vehicle she was driving, said Sgt. Bob McCloskey of the Sacramento Police Department's Homicide Division.

Several others inside the victim's vehicle including her brother, Michael Krog, 24 were not injured. Krog died in her brother's arms.

Police are looking for at least three suspects, described only as Hispanic men in their early to mid-20s. They fled south on Highway 99 in a light-colored SUV-type vehicle.

Police said the shooting appeared unprovoked. Detectives are trying to determine a motive, which may have been gang-related on the suspects' part, McCloskey said.

Krog's mother, Mary Ann Krog, led a devastated contingent of grieving family members Sunday at a rosary in her daughter's honor.

"She just had such a good heart," said the mother, who described her second-oldest child as "my strength." Because the mother also works at Bethel, they would often visit in the mornings.

The fact that her daughter, nicknamed "Tita," perished at the hands of unknown killers was especially painful, Krog said, because her daughter "always saw the good in everyone."

"She would make people laugh. She looked at the positive side of things," she said.

The shooting occurred shortly before 12:45 a.m. after Krog and her brother and friends left the Blue Cue club near downtown Sacramento, police said. While they were waiting at a red light at 29th and N streets, the group in the SUV pulled up and confronted them. Someone then fired.

It's unclear what, if anything, was said between parties in the two vehicles prior to the shooting. Police did not return a message Sunday seeking more information.

After the shooting, Krog's brother tried to stop her bleeding, but the wound was too severe, their mother said. "She died in her brother's arms," Mary Ann Krog said. "He prayed for her told her to go with God."

Relatives were angered and confused by the attack.

"The people who did this to her will have to face God some day," the mother said. "They know who they are. They took my baby."

But family ties provided comfort Sunday as relatives gathered to mourn. "We're just surrounded with family members and friends," the mother said of the young lady who played the piano and loved Tweety Bird. "She has just so much love to give."

Uncle Val Flores, a member of Vallejo's Economic Development Commission, said the victim "was very giving and helpful. She was full of life and energy."

Co-workers at Bethel expressed shock at Krog's death, describing her as talented, compassionate and popular with students.

"The kids loved her," said Pat Dillon, Bethel's office manager. "She was intelligent, just sweet. Everybody loved her.

"This just makes chills up my back," Dillon added.

Besides working with special-education students as a para-educator for about five years, Krog was the school's coordinator for the SAT test. She also cared for a special-education student part-time after school.

Greg Green, who works with special-education students in the classroom next to Krog's, remembered her as "a wonderful young lady. She had a lot of friends. She was very smart for her age. Very mature."

Green said Krog was the perfect person to work with special-education students, which requires deep dedication. "It takes a person with a lot of patience, and that's what she had," he said.

Krog, a 1996 graduate of St. Vincent's High School, worked three jobs to pay for her studies at Solano Community College, her mother said. She planned to transfer to Sonoma State University to pursue a teaching degree in special education.

Flores described his niece as a hard-working young woman who loved working with special-needs children.

He recalled a favorite memory of the day several years ago that she received an award in front of the City Council. When then-mayor Gloria Exline asked Krog to make some remarks, Flores said, his niece told the group: "She learned from the family that you can either be in the parade or sitting on the sidelines, watching. I'd rather be in the parade and be involved."

When the mayor asked what she'd like to be when she grew up, Flores said, his niece responded: "I want your job, mayor."

Krog is survived by her parents, Michael and Mary Ann Krog; sisters, Marlena De Celle and Melani Krog; and brothers, Michael and Matthew Krog.

The Krogs are a strong military family, Flores said. De Celle, the oldest child, is a captain in the adjutant general corps, based at Fort Hood, Texas. Brother Michael Krog is preparing to be commissioned as a second lieutenant; his twin, Matthew, is attending an advanced ROTC training camp at Fort Lewis, Wash.

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Sacramento police ask anyone with information about the shooting to call them at (916) 264-5471. To remain anonymous, call Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP or toll-free at (800) AA-CRIME.
