Talk:レペゼン

RFV discussion: May 2020–December 2021
I see that there is a hip-hop group called レペゼン地球, but I'm not sure if this term is used generally to mean "a representation". It does remind me of the African American English use of Represent!, so the hip-hop connection makes sense. Cnilep (talk) 05:19, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Web dictionary says: A phrase often used as an abbreviation for the English verb "represent". Mainly used in hip-hop lyrics. "represent" means . For example, "レペゼン大阪" is reffered in the meanings like "I came on behalf of Osaka" or "I'm taking charge of Osaka".--荒巻モロゾフ (talk) 20:47, 12 June 2020 (UTC)


 * This is weird to me (but of course, I'm an old): it seems to be used mainly in names of rappers, groups, etc., and sometimes in lyrics. That said, I did manage to find three apparently independent attestations. FWIW, none 'represent' a hometown (unless you count ). Cnilep (talk) 03:49, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

レペゼン is a pretty common hip-hop term to mean “represent (the hometown)”:. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 02:32, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
