“The only way for me to face my demons is to go into my consciousness and search through all of those uncomfortable thoughts,” adds Meechy.įlatbush Zombies’ frank approach makes them a particularly intriguing act to come out of Brooklyn – post-Biggie, Jay-Z and boom-bap, the trio draw as much inspiration from Stanley Kubrick and the Grateful Dead as they do hip-hop. “When Steez passed, I realised that there’s a darkness that can follow any of us, and I’m never going to be the only one going through shit,” Erick says. In 2013, local MC Capital Steez killed himself, a death that left Brooklyn’s rap community devastated. Both he and Erick Arc Elliott write candidly about their experiences with suicidal thoughts, confronting the darkness that comes with being young, black and depressed.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: and you might like to check out the growing collection of curated slang words for different topics over at Slangpedia. There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it. Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms.

Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.ĭue to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary.
