The structure combines "off" (starting from) with "the rip" (the start, possibly from the moment a race starts or a record begins playing), forming a phrase for immediate initiation. It is used in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and hip hop culture to mean from the very beginning, right away, or immediately. People typically say "Off the rip, I knew he was lying" or "Let me tell you off the rip, I'm not interested." The term originated in late 20th century AAVE and hip hop, possibly from the phrase "from the rip" meaning the start of a track or race, and remains common in street slang and rap lyrics.
