  • he sounds alot like gil scott-heron in this.

  • @Bloodsport1 Yes. Is there a problem with that?

  • @southerngentry1  Feet fetish?hmmm....

  • No, you obviously don't understand the history of English in America. When Africans were brought to this country, they were never taught 'proper' English, and so they transformed what they were taught into Ebonics and slang, which are still considered English. Since culture maintains speaking mannerisms within communities, it is ignorant to label a lyrical genius as a disgrace. The way one speaks does not reflect one's intelligence level, but rather more accurately one's childhood environment.

  • its not anti white?

    there speaking about hip hop so hes suited there

  • How I know what? I'll assume you mean my position concerning his intellect. I will cut to the point directly...The only reason he is even permitted to speak at a university is due to the fact that Temple, due to its geographical location and anti-white rhetorical/educational fashion, is the only place that would allow such an academic disgrace.

  • no it doesnt, its generally where your from

    care to share how you know that?

  • No. You're correct, it has to do with how educated you are. In the case of the above speaker, he doesn't have either an education nor a concise acumen going for him.

  • shut up

    the way you speak has absolutely nothing to do with how clever you are

  • It's evident that you don't know how to speak or are familiar with the history of the English language. It does have an origin. In fact, it has many equally important origins. This is not following in a trend...but in your words "creating one." Oh and by the way, don't it "my so called english." I don't hear you speaking any other language.
