Unkut Presents: What Is Rap’s Greatest Catch Phrase?
In an attempt to stand-out from the crowd in the ever-expanding rap world, many rappers have adapted catchy phrases and ad-libs. Some are memorable, some are annoyingly addictive and others…not so much. Here’s some of the first ones that we thought of…thanks to Legend for the assist.
OJ Da Juiceman:
AYYE!
Let’s be honest, this has no place on any ‘Best’ list. Shit sounds like a gay chihuahua barking.
Joell Ortiz:
YAOWAH!
Ortiz is nice, but damned if I have any idea what the significance of this catch-cry is. Maybe it’s the BK version of Fred Flintstone’s ‘Yabba Dabba Doo!’?
Jim Jones:
BALLIN!
If for nothing else, Jimmy will be forever remembered as a pioneer in introducing metro fashion and funny jeans to the rap game.
Juelz Santana:
AYE!
Before the Juiceman ripped him off, Santana was holding it down for all the rapping pirates.
Max B -
OWW!
Is this the part where I type ‘Free Wavy Crocket’?
Master P -
UGH!
Best cover of a Masterdon Committee song ever. Actually, it’s the only one.
Birdman:
BLRUUUURRR!
When Baby isn’t lip-locking with Weezy, he’s making pigeon noises.
Gucci Mane:
BURRR!
I suspect Radric has spent a lot of time watching Bring It On.
Clipse:
EGHCK!
Cot damn that was tough to transcribe. We thought YUGHK! originally, but it turns out EGHCK! is the official. I can die happy now, huh?
MC Eiht:
GYEAH!
An originator of the rap catchphrase, this may be one of the best known intro phrase since $hort Dog.
Sean Price:
P!
This may be the most effective audio signature ever.
Too $hort:
BEEYITCH!
The original and the best.
Cam’Ron:
KILLA!
He may have changed his handle to the more radio-friendly Cam’Ron, but we’re constantly reminded of his original MC moniker through this classic declaration of ignorance.
Jadakiss:
AH-HEARGH!
Half laugh, half cackle…and tough as nails to imitate.
DMX:
ARF! ARF!
As the British would say…barking mad.
Lil’ Jon:
YEAAHH! / OKKKAAAYYY!
If Dr. Teeth from the Muppets was a rapper, as immortalized by Dave Chapelle.
Screwball:
HOO-HA!
The call of the wild out in QB, Blaq Poet still reps this on every track he laces.
