Damn it CO. I've told you before and I'll tell you again... Don't hate tha playa, hate tha game.

BTW - Bling had an entirely different meaning prior to 1998, so all those quotes are pretty silly.

Not true, my friend.

"For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future bling."

Wrong. It is written in the Bible many times how Jesus used his super powers to change things to bling.

The word "bling" was first used on record in 1998 by fellow Cash Money Records artist Lil Wayne on the track "Millionaire Dream" ("I got ten around my neck, and baguettes on my wrist, Bling!") from the Big Tymers album How Ya Luv That. The word was coined by Lil Wayne who often used onomatopoeia, he later extended its use to "bling bling" for the hook he wrote and performed on the B.G. track of the same name. "Bling Bling," released in 1999 on B.G.'s album Chopper City in the Ghetto led later in the 2000's to the term proliferating through mainstream hip hop and eventually spilling over into popular culture as a sarcastic term used to mock the perceived vacuousness of hip hop culture.

It wasn't even added to the dictionary until 2000.

PROOF:

A square slip of papyrus recording the title Iliad, Book II, followed by a date: the month Mekheir (February) and a number (zeta crossed out and corrected to eta?) and a reference to "bling". Purpose unknown. Several sillyboi (Oxyrhynchus Papyri nos. 381 and 958) designate records (mnemonika) for business or administrative activities specified by month and year of an emperor?s reign. The papyrus slip might be thought to label a copy of Iliad 2 similarly written in the month Mecheir. But in comparison with extant sillyboi, the slip seems too wide to hang properly if attached to the end of the papyrus roll, and is thus more likely a reader?s note or reminder for reading or study.
The Oxyrhynchus Papyri vol. XXXI no. 2605
