Poppin' ya collar

A phrase generally used in the hip hop lexicon. It describes not only an action, but also a general attitude. The term was originally used in this sense by the rapper E-40. When used by E-40, and many other hip hop artists including Three 6 Mafia in their song Poppin My Collar, the term refers to the act of pulling one's collar, or the clothing where one's collar would be (as when wearing a t-shirt), with the thumb and fingertips. One then releases the clothing in varying degrees of flamboyance. Used in this sense, "poppin' ya collar" is more about the attitude and message of confidence portrayed in so doing than any clothing style (see upturned collar). E-40 immortalized the term (and the accompanying attitude), in his song Pop Ya Collar from his album Loyalty and Betrayal.

poppin' my collar

Poppin' My Collar is the best song by Three 6 Mafia, and one of the better rap songs to come out in a while. The remix with Project Pat is the hottest version of the song. If you don't have this song you better go out right now and buy it.

Yo, you gotta listen to Three 6 Mafia's song Poppin' My Collar.
