or how did it form
that shit is so unique like you know a cali cat
when you hear one...just by certain words
being that i went to an HBCU you were around black folk
from all regions so i kinda can pick up on how certain
words are pronounced and what not

i grew up in jersey and ppl not from the northeast
kinda bunch ny/nj talk into one

but that cali accent, obviously this is a more extreme case
its unique we know black folk came from the midwest and down south
and made that their home but why do you niggas talkm the way you do

accents have always intrigued me
i wish i wouldve studied vowel shifts and phonology smh
