not so "intelligent"
yes they are cultural
but they are mindless and can be detrimental to the group as a whole
Tip Drill, Wacka Flocka, etc are "cultural" but they are also not very "educational" and can easily be detrimental to Blacks as a whole

now when a predominately white run TV program starts using AAVE like "where you is?" and "i bees over here my main man now give me some skin"
i just find that a mockery in 2015

and i'm all for meshing of the cultures
i got a story about a Black guy, a Korean and a Jew in Italy comparing and contrasting the JD's (J Dilla vs Jermaine Dupree) if you want to here it.


Much respect to Stu Scott who even has given us this medium to talk about such subjects
