I'm So Hip Even My Errors Are Correct: Nikki Giovanni Delivers "Truth Is On Its Way"
...
Perhaps the album's best-known cut is "Ego-Tripping," featuring Nikki's bell-clear voice backed by a syncopated beat, handclaps and joyful noises from the choir. The poem, with lines such as "I'm so hip/even my errors are correct," pulls from The Dozens and presages the braggadocio of hip-hop.


What's the meaning of the lines "I'm so hip/even my errors are correct"? Are these famous verses?

It's certainly not a famous phrase. The writer is simply trying to suggest that they are so amazing/cool/hip that even their mistakes can't actually be considered mistakes. They can do no wrong.
