Throwedest on the microphone

Because Stuff White People Like wasn't enough:

Understand Rap: Rap Music Explained.

Example:
"them ain't high-beams bitch - my wrist is on"
The diamonds on my bracelet are so shiny you might mistake the glare from them as high-beam lights of a vehicle.

Example:
"take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic"
Here, Mr. West is referencing the sign made with two hands creating a diamond shape framed by the thumbs and index fingers in recognition of Roc-A-Fella, and making a pun about the eating disorder bulimia, characterized by the violent expulsion of food.
