Get the keepin it 100 mug.Although some people keep it real, some people keep it realer. Shane is an example of keeping it really, really real. By keeping it really, really real, he does what he wants, when he wants, to whom he wants.
When the homies tried to roll hard on Shane in the HBG, he whipped out his gigantic man-cock and smacked those bitches in their silly faces ...Obviously he was keeping it realer.

1.Caucasians defining terms that aren't in their cultural vernacular, or realm of understanding, as a way to demean members of another culture or group is a sign of being a racist ass-hat...and that's just "Keepin' it real".

'Keeping the candle lit, thanks.'
Fishermens' wives would keep a candle burning in the window, to guide their husbands back from deep-sea fishing trips.

Get the Keeping the candle lit mug.A philosophy and identity concept that arouse in hip-hop culture, and followed primarily by African-Americans.
"keepin' it real" is an expression of living only for instant gratification and lack of desire for more. Only the most basic animalistic tendancies are to be acted apon. Lust and anger are the primary emotions. Drinking alcohol and smoking weed are the main hobbies.
Recieving welfare while working as a criminal is one of the few ways to make money while being "real". The other are playing sports such as basketball and football, or working in the entertainment industry.
Jail time is status quo to the point that having never been to jail is mark of weakness in the eyes of those embracing this concept.
The only thing that changes with any certainty is the slang.

Get the keepin' it real mug.It’s an ignorant saying used by a person that is rude and not tactful. But the person tries to make their rudeness acceptable by saying they are just “keeping it real” or “Just being honest”. But in reality the person is accepting only the opportunities and rules taught to them by other ignorant people. Its all a lie, because if a person really “keeps it real” then that person would not wear deodorant, would not bath or wash. etc (because that is truly keeping it real).
A woman walks down the street wearing a hair weave and fake nails. Then she runs into her friend and says, "Yeah its true. I got fired, but I told off my boss again. You know I'm keeping it real."

Get the Keeping it real mug.To reach the boundaries of over-reacting, while maintaining sensibility. "Keepin' it real" should only be brought into action when something personal is being attacked, such as one's manhood, one's mother, one's moral code, etc.
