Collegiate A Cappella 

Music done by college students involving only voices and no instruments. Usually sounds stupid and worse than the original hits because the performers are drunk and care more about getting laid. There are some good groups, but mostly just a soloist sucking and the rest of the group going "doo-doo."
Kayne West: Yo Off the Beat, I'm really happy for you guys, and I'm gonna let you finish, but the original artists had better versions of the songs you covered.

A cappella 

"A capella" definition is wrong. Not usually used by rappers, but rather by people that actually...sing (and sing well) without instrumental accompaniment. Please see

...for more enlightenment on what a cappella is.
"Hey guys, let's sing real a cappella, with no instrumental accompaniment. And better yet, let's actually sing and use musical notes in our music and not chant simple rhymes and curse words in a monotone like the music artist b rabbit does in 8 Mile!"

"Sounds great! Wait, b rabbit is a music artist? Since when?"

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
