where does the word 'hiphop' come from? — This unsigned comment was added by 212.17.82.33 (talk).
- hip (meaning "cool") + a catchy combination of hop (dancing style, in contrast to a 50's hop) I think. --Connel MacKenzie 08:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, why is the definition implying it's a reduplication of hop (akin to the word chit chat), when it's pretty widely known hip and hop are two separate words, hip not being there as a reduplication, but rather implying it's "cool, catchy, trendy, up to date".
