What do “ballin’”, “pop(or poppin’”, “clubbin’” mean?

I think the `rap english` \-> `everyday english` translation would be: "Every night we go to the club, we take the pills (presumably drugs), and we have fun"

Pop pills just means to take pills, like pop the top off the medicine bottle I suppose

Considering you got good answers in several comments, I'll just chip in and add that you should probably not use that slang unless... Uhh, how to put it... Unless people you normally associate with also use that slang.

"Clubbin" is short for clubbing, which is when you go out to a nightclub. In the context of pills, popping means taking. So when they're popping pills, they're doing recreational drugs. Ballin'/balling is a fairly nebulous term for partying. As far as why people drop the g in "ing" verbs, it's just a reflection of what happens sometimes in regular speech. I don't know that there's any specific reason for it, it's just a common thing that happens when we talk.

Clubbing means going to clubs. Popping pills means doing drugs. Balling literally refers to playing basketball, but in slang refers to making a very showy display of one's wealth.

Ballin means having and spending a lot of money and poppin means to take the pills. Clubbin is just being at a club and doing club activities

Clubbin': Go to (night)clubs Pop them pills: Take pills [Given the context, it probably refers to psychedelics] Ballin': "We ballin' " roughly means "we're good" or "we're feeling great"

Clubbing means going to a night club Popping in this sense means to toss into your mouth like a snack food. In the context of pills, this means they are taking a lot of drugs for fun. Balling is a newer term that means something like "having fun" or "being cool", but specifically in that "we are having a night out, and it is intense" kind of way.

In this case: Every night we go out to clubs, we take recreational drugs in the form of pills, we live lavishly. (These words can have other meanings too—this just refers to this context.) Saying something like “in’” instead of “ing” is a feature of many dialects as well as many varieties of informal speech.

ballin' - living a great life; being extravagant pop - to put something in your mouth (I sprained my hand so I popped some pain meds.); in this context, recreational drugs clubbin' - going to the dance club

Why I can’t see comments 😖

I don’t know what’s going on with Reddit but I can’t see your comments guys 😭(Reddit says me “nobody’s responded to this post yet” Can somebody screen comments and send the screenshot to me?

This is a slang and very informal english and its kinda hard for learner especially if they are from a country where clubs, drugs, and discotics were banned. For easier understanding, this verse has the same meaning as Everynight we have a party (in a club), we take some drugs, we dance.

When a word is spelled like that in English, it's usually slang from the -ing ending, or the present participle. "Ballin" comes from the phrase "To Ball Out", which can mean both preform well at basketball or spend a lot of money. "Pop" comes from the phrase "To Pop Bottles" which is derived from the sound a champagne bottle makes when it's open. Opening champagne is associated with being wealthy. "Clubbin" is the action of going to night clubs, discos, or parties where there will USUALLY be alcohol, drugs, and/or women.

"clubbing" is going to a club. "popping pills" is the consumption of pills, most of which contain some sort of drug. "balling" is usually slang for "partying hard".

Besides some informal and slang words, this sample also includes dropped verb forms which can be common in certain communities and dialects. I would recommend seeking out some other sources if you as an English learner, want to learn general or standard English. TED Talks are generally good for example.

dropping the g in ‘-ing’ verb forms is just an informal, casual way to say them. clubbing = partying at a (night) club. popping a pill = taking/swallowing a pill, usually recreationally (as in, they’re not taking a prescription; they’re using drugs recreationally). I’m finding “balling” kind of hard to explain. I guess it usually just means generally having fun—I associate it with playing a ball game, like basketball. But it also has some implications of “living a luxurious/wealthy lifestyle.”

G is often dropped to represent the accents of the people saying or singing the words. In a great many English and American accents the G isn't verbalised when it's at the end of an 'ing' word. This kind of writing makes clear how the speaker is pronouncing the words. The words themselves: Ballin - I believe this is gangster/street slang. It basically means living it up, having fun in an excessive way, having lots of money and spending it. Being a big shot. Pop (popping) is slang for taking drugs in pill form. Not sure on the origin, a pill bottle makes a pop when you open it, you pop pills out of a blister pack and the phrase 'pop it into your mouth' all seems likely to me. Clubbing means going to a club, aka nightclub. A place where adults go late at night to drink and dance and often try to find sexual partners.
