It is my fond wish that I live long enough to see the day where a phrase like "fo shizzle" is viewed as quaint and hopelessly obsolete an anachronism as "odds bodkins" or "so's your old man."

What a beautiful world this will be

I'm pretty sure that the whole nizzle/shizzle/dizzle thing is something Snoop Dogg made up to see if gullible white people would believe that black people really talked that way, and it just got way out of hand.

Actually, the "izzle" thing has its roots in actual street slang, immortalized in Frankie Smith's 1980 smash hit Double Dutch Bus ("Dizzouble Dizzutch! Dizzouble Dizzutch!") Perhaps Snoop was bringin back a bit of his childhood when he started to izzle everything.
