ILL (hip hop wise):

1. (v + adj, negative) = to be obnoxious, or to act weird, as in eating dogfood; "YOU BE ILLIN" (Run Dmc - You Be Illin' [1986]).

2. (adj, positive): "Most illnest b-boys" (Beastie Boys - Rhymin' And Stealing).

I always looked at "ILL" as meaning "dope". But for this site I would say it also means "FUCKING AMAZING".

I can see this thread may become controversial, but hey I always have believed in Fade's Ill concept and to me Ill has always meant something so great you have to find another word to describe it hence ill supercedes the word greatness and thats what we all are all here to accomplish as up n coming producers "greatness".
