Who Got The Props

That stuff will rot your brain. "Props" is rather recent slang for "proper respect". The question "Who got da props?" is a rhetorical one demanding affirmation of the speaker's ascendancy.

PametusI looked up Props in a dictionary, but I can't understand what this phrase means.

You will not find rap slang words in a proper English dictionary, unless they have been assimilated into the mainstream.

While still still slang, "props" is hardly "gansta rap" talk these days. It's not uncommon to hear something like "It was nice to hear Mary get props in the staff meeting. She worked really hard on that project."

I don't know the original phrase quoted and I don't know the song it's from, but it's not that unusual of a word right now.

I'll have to step out of my b

I give you props for being willing to do so!

Sounds to me like she is a stage hand. They have to get lots of props.

Excuse me, but what does "step out of my bubble" mean?

go out into the larger world around me
venture out of my small and sheltered world
(to learn what is happening that I have been unaware of)

Does that help?

Thanks for teaching. "Who got the props" is the title of a song by Blackmoon, American hiphop group.

I understood it well. Thank you very much. I like this phrase.
