We Was.. (Is it correct english?)

Postby SajN » Mar 31st, '08, 15:48

We was on the same shit that Big Daddy Kane shit with compound syllables sound combined

This quote is from Yellow Brick Road by Eminem...
I always thought the right form is "We Were".
But after listening to this song, and also another Eminem song where he says "We Was" (Don't remember song name), I've been unsure..
Or is Eminem just stupid :sweating:

I didn't put this on the Eminem section because it's just a little question..

its "we were"
but "we was" is more slang-ish lmao
the same as sentences like "iz u crazy ?! "
or i guess more famous "the way i are" lmao

I wondered about "the way I are" too...

Hmm.. In One Shot 2 Shot, Kon Artis says "Is you hit?"

isn't it "Are you hit" ?


fucking slangs :n:

honestly fuck proper english, it's used by less people than those who use slang... Slang is the way to go. though i dont agree with we was, but something like gonna is better than saying going to.
