13000719, Black Chicago doesn't have a "universal" accent Posted by after midnight, Thu Apr-07-16 03:51 PM
Some people sound country: Bernie Mac, Chief Keef
But other people; Chance the Rapper, Robert Townsend (Hollywood Shuffle), Michael Clark Duncan (Green Mile), don't.
I don't know why that is. But people from poor/ghetto areas typically sound more "country" than people from so-called middle class Black areas, like Chatham, or Evanston.
I think it's safe to say California has that same thing going on. JD's gaffilin' from the first Ice Cube album, Too Short, and Eazy E all sound country as hell. But not all of Black Los Angeles sounds like that.
