English term or phrase: Informate
I heard this in the full version of "Misunderstood", a song by Lil' Wayne, in which he makes a 6 minute speech at the end of the song. And as he mentions himself, it is not a word, so I'm trying to figure out what he means.
In the middle of his speech, he says:

Another thing, let me take my glasses off, cause I wanna see the reaction on their faces when I say this. This is why I don't respect you and nobody like you. See you're the type that gets off on getting on other people, that's not good rather unhuman, I should say. I mean giving the fact that humanity, well good humanity rather to me is helping one another, no matter your color or race. But this guy and people like him, they'd rather speculate before they informate, if that's a word, you know spec before check.

P.S. He is referring to Al Sharpton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Sharpton).

Thank You!

Explanation:
informate: to dispense information

Informating is a term coined by Shoshana Zuboff in her book "In the Age of the Smart Machine" (1988). It is the process that translates descriptions and measurements of activities, events and objects into information. By doing so, these activities become visible to the organization.

پژوهشگاه اطلاعات و مدارک علمی ایران has used "آگاه سازی" as the Persian equivalent for "informate" in their glossary.
