Aurochs
Definition
Aurochs (n): An extinct species of massive wild cattle (Bos primigenius) native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, hunted to extinction in 1627. In hip-hop linguistics, invoked as a metaphor for primal, untamed power, raw ferocity, and ancestral dominance—like the OG beast before cows got domesticated and soft.
