weyes Posted October 18 Author Report Share Posted October 18 sassa, i'd heard "sick" on the east coast years ago on the east coast and i still do, since i moved out here. and "hella" is from northern cali . i'm surprised that people still say, "mad", but i only hear the east coasters doing that. and some people on the new york board, who will remain nameless , call people "herbs". i really haven't heard that since '94, and i was glad when it died.does anyone remember when the record label def american held a funeral for the word "def"? it was an event with performers and execs - a big thing. does anyone know if that label is just known as "american", now?
