Pahoehoe
Definition
Pahoehoe (noun): A type of smooth, ropey basaltic lava from Hawaiian volcanoes, symbolizing effortless glide in hip-hop lingo—like a rapper's flow that snakes silky over the beat without cracks, contrast to jagged 'ā'ā. Straight fire from the earth's core, metaphor for premium, molten lyricism.
