Any attempt to assemble an exhaustive list of the Bay Area's infamous urban lexicon is an impossible task because our slanguage evolves at a ridiculous pace. That said, Rafael Casal of The Getback Crew does a great job of compressing a good number of current Bay Area slang words in a very short amount of time, without sacrificing clarity (unless of course you don't speak the language).
And if you don't understand some of the terminology, just pause the video frequently so that you can study up on the definitions. Oakland may have shot down ebonics education in the schools many years ago, but that doesn't mean you don't have hella vocab words to learn.

And if you're not familiar with Mr. Rafael Casal, he's a dope emcee and accomplished spoken word artist. Check out his music and blog after you check out a bit of his poetry below.
