The part of speech reflects that used in the full entry, and not necessarily the part of speech as it is used in the quotation below.
Quotation: OutKast are so weird I gave up on getting a handle on Aquemini, which is when it started bubbling in my brain. I love how they represent the dirty-dirty with more juice than Zeus, rocking the ill mbira and letting Erykah Badu shake that load off with trunkloads of booty-club bass.

The “dirty dirty” is taken from the term “dirty south” commonly attributed to Atlanta based and Dungeon Family affiliated rapper Cool Breeze who released Eastpoints Greatest hits in 1999.

The “Dirty” in dirty south can refer to the storied history and social conflicts in race relations. Touched on in Goodie Mob’s “Soul Food” [eg. Cell Therapy] album as far as government corruption, an impending race war and modern day out-right discrimination that is still allowed to continue. Wikipedia lists it as a style of music but it is the state of the south that got turned into a catch phrase and people identify with but it was from much deeper roots.

Keep in mind that we're interested in terms that are not well-covered in mainstream dictionaries, or not covered at all. A mass of unexamined Google hits counts for nothing, but an early use of the term you've found in a book or periodical is very useful. A term does not have to be new to be recorded here, it merely needs to be worthy of more attention.
