B.G., a rapper from New Orleans who sang about his “bling-bling ring” and his “bling-bling car” in the late
90s, had no idea that the phrase he’d created would become universally recognised. He started using the phrase
as a cool new way to refer to his shiny diamond ring and big, fancy, expensive car, which were and are status
symbols in hip-hop culture.
Showing off your money and the expensive possessions you can afford to buy is of great importance to hip-hop
musicians, so these artists approved of the new expression “bling-bling”. It eventually came to mean diamonds,
jewellery and anything else extravagant and fancy – possessions that people bought specifically to show off.
“Bling-bling” quickly developed into a popular slang expression, which found its way into many hip-hop songs.
Soon, people outside the hip-hop world began adopting the expression “bling-bling”. In the year 2000, after
having won the NBA championship, the Los Angeles Lakers ordered diamond rings for the whole team with the
expression “bling-bling” engraved on them. Many shops and websites advertise and sell all kinds of bling-bling
jewellery with enormous sparkling jewels on them. Fashion stylists make sure their clients – including famous
Hollywood stars – wear flashy jewellery at important events, so they’ll “bling”, or stand out.
Because of its increased use, the original definition of bling-bling has changed. It has now come to mean a
flashy lifestyle that shows the world you’ve got plenty of money to spend and can afford just about anything
you want. The phrase “bling-bling” also appears in the media. News giant CNN has used bling-bling and other
hip-hop language in order to appeal to a younger audience. Recently, bling-bling appeared in the respected Times
newspaper in Britain. It was used to criticise a famous politician for his bling-bling lifestyle, when he borrowed
a luxury yacht to go on holiday.
It was only a question of time before the expression “bling-bling” was officially accepted as part of the English
language. Today it even appears in standard English dictionaries. However, for people in the hip-hop culture,
bling-bling is already outdated and they’re busy looking for something new to replace it.
