Post a word you recently looked up in the DICTIONARY

Probably the same reason Sadat X would refer to himself as a prodigy "since the age of 20."

it was like 6 months ago though


was reading some old Pete Rock interview where he used it to describe what happened with ATCQ's Jazz We've got










That reminds me... When Q-Tip said "Busta is ferocious/ I'm flawed and precocious" on his last album, I checked precocious in the dictionary. Not cause I did not know the word, more because I wanted to know if it can be used that way. And I'm still puzzled why a 40-year old dude would refer to himself as precocious.





I remember some interview asking what he meant by saying that. And he responded, "Just that: I'm flawed and precocious." :shocked:




Dude probably thought it meant more along the lines of "energetic but somewhat reckless," which kids who are precocious often are also.

Probably the same reason Phife floats like gravity. Tangential ideas misconstrued from context.

odd that he didn't know the meaning . you just have to add an 'e' at the end to get the French equivalent. and it's far from being an obscure word in French

I hate when rappers force their rhymes like that
 
Overheard this while watching 'Network' last night: ORACULATE. As in "verbally getting down in a prophetic matter". Tried looking it up and have found nothing. Still sounds right to me.
