Chicago’s influence has very much taken over the streets and suburbs of America. Surprisingly, it may have influenced some kids to become involved with the street life. He noticed the change after he came from juvie.
Newly signed Epic Records artist Bobby Shmurda said the Chicago music scene influenced some kids from his Brooklyn neighborhood to gang bang during an interview with Global Grind.
“That Chicago wave that just passed… that influence was crazy,” he said. “I came home and a lot of kids that wasn’t like that, they gangsters now. They bang banging and all types of stuff.”
The gang banging aspect of Chicago’s influence is debatable. But Chiraq had an undeniable influence in slang.
Chicago’s slang terms have undeniably been used by many inside and outside of the industry.
For example, terms “thot,” “fufu,” and “opp” have become urban and suburban America’s new cool term to utter.
Thot is a term used to describe a promiscuous woman. Fufu is the shortened version of fugazi, meaning fake. Opp is a shortened term for opposition.
Young Chop commented on the trend of “thot” and “fufu” going mainstream.
“NIGGAZ AINT START SAYIN ‘THOT’ & ‘FUFU’ UNTIL @ChiefKeef & @youngchopbeatz
“Nbs,” he wrote.
Chop previously sat down with TMI to define the term.
“Thot is a girl that like to give herself up quick…like the first day you meet her,” the “I Don’t Like Producer said. “A ‘thotiana’ is a skrag of all skrags.”
Popular Chi Town videographer Dgainz echoed those remarks.
“Everybody saying Thot now lol,” he wrote on Twitter.
Hip Hop celebs have even adopted the terms.
The Game recently dropped a single titled “Thot.”
In the Young Chop-produced single “Guap,” Big Sean raps, “You fugazi, b-boss up, boss up with your time dog.”
106 & Park host Bow Wow referred to women as thots in a tweet, writing, “Have about a million thots sending me dirty videos & pix on this new IG private messenger. It aint thirst no more these h*** is parched.”
50 Tyson also used the term on Twitter, writing, “But i can’t wife a thot See its levels to this shit..”
50 Cent offered his rules on keeping a thot.

Chief Keef elaborated on term on Twitter earlier this year.
“Thot = That Hoe Over There Thots = Them Hoes Over There,” he wrote.
Chief Keef occasionally uses the term in his music.
In “My Niggas,” Chief Keef raps, “B*tch, I got a lot of f*cking thots.”
Chief Keef’s past thot anthems include “Love No Thotties” and “Lots Of Thots.” Chief Keef latest ode to these women is “Thots Gone Krazy.”
