What is meant by "da hood"? I hear people who are into rap say this a lot but I can't make any sense of it.

Answer 1

da hood is dialect for "the neighborhood" or "my neighborhood." I learned this in Ebonics class?

Answer 2

"da hood" is a small box in the world where it's hard to escape from. It's all about struggling and hustling for clothes, shoes, and cars. It's about being proud to struggle and never go anywhere.
I was raised in "da hood" but fortunately realized there was more to life than that little box of the world, and with hard work and perseverance I left it!
Life is much more than petty money, hoez, and clothes.
I rather purchase a b.s. car and get the hell out the hood than hustle for name brand clothes that only rich people can afford to buy!

Answer 4

It's a rap slang meaning their neighborhood. It doesn't have anything to do with the type of neighborhood your could like in the suburbs and have it called the hood, so get it confused with just ghetto neighborhoods.
