Rap Dictionary
ridenoun
A vehicle. So we rode in his ride -- Ice-T (Bitches 2). Most rappers would consider a 'ride' to be a very luxurious car, such as a Ferrari or Mercedes Benz. Lamborghinis and Porschias are also popular. Some rappers like to 'soup up' their 'rides' by taking older or more affordable cars such as Cadillacs, and adding nicer rims, seats, interiors, or sometimes by adding hydraulics.
