Intransitiv
Definition
In linguistics, an adjective describing a verb that does not take a direct object (e.g., 'sleep' in 'I sleep'). In hip-hop lyricism, metaphorically refers to self-contained flows, punches, or bars that hit hard without needing elaboration or 'objects'—pure, standalone impact.
