let it be known, and this may not be the first time this has been stated, but Snoop did not create the phizzle lizzle. let me state this a 2nd time to be absolutely clear: Snoop did not create the phizzle lizzle. what?!? this is not in any way shape or form haterism. i happen to like Snoop. i can't say i've dug most of his albums, but i like his style and there are gems that he has that i will bang without hesitation. but anyways, i digest [just kidding, i was watching In Living Color Season 1 the other night], let me return to the point of my current diatribe: phizzle lizzle. this slang is distinctly Illadelphian. if you have any doubts whatsoever check yourself and listen to The Doubledutch Song. oh, you still doubt? dude that put that song out is from where? Illadelph. he's still here. in fact, i read an article in Philadelphia Weekly or City Paper about dude. he was actually on the cover if recall correctly. said he was working on some new shizzle... anyway(i ain't hatin', i'm just sayin...), here is more evidence: what is a Septa transpass? it's a freakin' T-R-I-Z-Z-I-E!!! com'on now! this is not a reference that just sprung up within the last few years or even during Snoop's career. i've been living here since '87 and cats were calling transpasses trizzies back then. wassup! in fact, i've known more than a few born & bred Illadelph residents who have referred to sinks as zinks. it's here famalam. so, forgive me if i take offense at those who attribute Snoop w/coming up phizzle izzle. oh yeah, don't get it twisted, i made that up, so if you wanna go around saying that, just give credit where it's due...
Snoop may have stupid popularized it, but phizzle izzle is distinctly an Illadelph phenomenon. don't forget, Kurrupt is from the Illadelph. he is a seminal member of DPG. it ain't much of a stretch from there. i ain't tryin' to take anything from Snoop, just trying to keep history in tact...
HAPPY FRICKIN' NEW YEAR!
make like Maurice Clarett's NFL career...
PEACE
