so i'm listening to johnny guitar watson and on his 1977 track its all about the dollar bill he refers to cash as kizash.

and it made me go what?

so its a two part question.

1. is this where the whole west coast bizatch thizing(cf snoop) comes from? or is it just usual afro am argot? for how long? other (earlier than snoop)egs in pop music?

2. when was the last time you went OH! so...? (when listening to old stuff that seems to feed straight into something)

Sn-iz-oop was pretty open about getting it from slick rizick
...i believe its originally Carny speak from early 20th century...was there an R.crumb comic about it in the 60's ???

3. carny
6 up, 2 down

language use amongst carnival works to speak to each other without alerting patrons to dangers or problems.

it works by adding "iz" between letter or sylibles of words and speaking them quickly so they blend together into something that almosts sounds like complete gibberish to people who dont know the language

English: the left strut will break if we dont fix it soon.

Carny: thize lizeft strizut wizll brizeak sizoon izf wizeel dizont fizix izt sizoon

snoop was definitely not the first person to bring it into 90's hip hop...

for example: Dr. Dre's The Chronic came out in '92...and Another Bad Creation's Coolin at the Playground Ya Know came out in '91...

the latter album has my favorite example of carny speak...mostly because it's funny to hear a little kid say it...

"My name is Mizark, chillin at the pizark, I gotta break because my momma said, "be home by dizark."

nice.
