it makes more sense than you using a person that got shot in the mouth as an example of how ppl from a particular region speak.
I was just stooping down to your level and showing you how ignorant you looked. I sound NOTHING like Slim Thug or Lil Keke. You talking down on someone else's accent like your accent is better. I could easily go on youtube and find the worst videos of new yorkers and post them on here. However, I have enough sense to know not all northerners sound like that.
Why don't you post interviews of Isiah Washington (Houston) or Tyler Perry (Atlanta)???? No, because those would go against everything you've said towards the south.
No I'm saying quit comparing southerners to rappers. We don't owl sound like dem
please read my posts instead of skimming through them.
i have said this at least three times in the last few pages:

unless someone wants to do it before i get home?
youtube is blocked at my job, so i can't actually search for things through youtube. i have to go through google and its easier to type in a rapper name and song title to pull the video's link and get an example of the way that they pronounce words than it is for me to get an average joe speaking.
but rather than use any other rapper, unlike myself that has used MANY different rappers from MANY different states,you want to use ONE rapper that got shot in his mouth as a representative of the region that he comes from. and he sounds different than he did before he got shot.
Just stop. No one is going to take you serious if you keep basing our accent off rappers. When artist rap; they rap differently than they speak.
Think about Rihanna's "Umbrella" song. Notice the way she says umbrella? Just because someone pronounces something one way in a song doesn't mean they naturally speak like that.
