Messed up grammar in rap music?

Postby S.T.A.N. » Jan 15th, '10, 11:25

Why do all rappers use for example "You was here" or "We was going" , i mean the word "was" shouldn't grammatically come after YOU or WE.Its just not correct.And again i hear they say " I want them shoes" the word should be Those or These. I think you get what im trying to say here. Why is it so? Are there anymore words like that?

and you hear UGK, from texas sayin Trill instead of true and real.

A lot of rappers do it for rhyme's sake.

Slightly twisting the grammar around can make a rhyme flow better. :y:

BUT
One thing I can't fucking stand is when I hear "aks" in place of "ask".

Fuck man.. That shit gets to me so bad for some reason.

[Obie Trice]
We got you niggaz, nervous
On purpose, to hurt your focus, you'se not MC's, you'se worthless
You'se not them G's, you'se a circus, you'se no appeal, please
You'se curtains, you use words, cool heard, slurred in two thousand third
You'se purpin, you'se no threat, who's ya servin?
We lyrically oughta bury you beneath the dirt when
You fuck with a label overseein the Earth
Shady muthafucka, O. Trice's birth
And as I mold, I become a curse
So we can put down the verse, take it to the turf
Cock and squeeze, and he who reach the hearse is he who
Depicts fiction in his verse
And as I breathe, and you be deceased
The world believe you deceived just to speak
You'se not the streets, you'se the desk
Use not your chest nigga, use a vest
Before two's choose ya rest, you chose death
Six feet deep, nigga, that's the depth

i think it's stupid. it's only because they're too lazy to pronounce the "s" before the "k". it takes more effort to say "ask" than "aks".

oh and "one mo' again"... "let me aks you that one mo 'gain."
