Hi,

This is the second part of the bi-weekly posting of the Totally Unofficial
Rap Dictionary to alt.rap. It is extracted from the WWW version accessible
at:

      http://www.sci.kun.nl/thalia/rapdict/

This part contains dictionary-related items, like some rap geography,
a who-is-who part and a wishlist for the dictionary. 

Please help making this list more complete. If it wasn't for the help of
the UseNet alt.rap community, this list wouldn't be one percent of its
current size. Feel free to use or to contribute to this list. I don't
want anyone (including myself) to use this list for financial gain, though.

WISHLIST
========
Below is a list of things that we are still too insecure about to enter
them in the Dictionary. If you know more than us, or if you have something
to add to this wishlist, let us know!

   _wilding_
          Check out this mail we received:
          
     _I have heard that the term "Wilding" didn't exist before the 1989
     Central Park Jogger attack in NYC. At the time, I remember some
     people questioned whether the term the kids used in the
     interrogation was actually "Wild Thing". Do you happen to know
     whether "wilding" or "buckwilding" were in use prior to the attack,
     or have they come into being as a result of the publicity
     surrounding the case? My wife would appreciate any leads you can
     offer...she's doing a documentary on the case. _
     
          Can anyone tell us more?
          
   _[al-li-zay]_
          There is this particular brand of alcohol which is mentioned in
          the remix of Brandy's "I wanna be down" as well as 2Pac's _"All
          about you"_ and a bunch of other songs. It sounds like
          "al-li-zay". What is it?
          
   _227_

          -- Snoop Doggy Dog (The Chronic).
