If you switch back and forth depending on the people you're around, you're phony.

Ehhh..........as a bilingual you can't really say that, you have to understand where u are to frame and convey your ideas appropriately.. Does that mean go full white face like Kanye does? Hell no...

So every NT'er who speaks another language, or American culture isn't their only culture, and they respect their parents' insular worldviews are phony then.

No one was every talking about change languages.
Plies didnt change his language, unless we're counting ratchet as a full blown language.
Let me know so I can start teaching Ratchet in other countries.
Get my doctrine in Rachetivity.

***** said it like we're the ones with the problem.
If your father asks where were you when you were over your boy's house, would you respond, "at my n's house"?
If you were at the dinner table with your parents, would you be like, "I'm pooped guys, I was savaging in these streets heavy, nahmsayin'? N's be thinking it's a game b...pass me the..."
If someone went back to their native land, they wouldn't be like "yeah dude, dude yeah, dude, like dude, dude bro, yeah dude bro".

Ill give you an example... In Spanish, you can be a straight up hardcore goon, thug, shooter, heartless animal... But when merengue, bachata, salsa comes on, your masculinity isn't questioned because you can cut a rug & dance well...in English?
Forget about it, take as a example Chris Brown
With language changes social normals also change, its a contextual thing..
You can make da same claim with Kanye "acting white" around white people to better acclimate to their culture, but its way more frown upon in english because da only reason he's relevant in that circle is because of his rap/hiphop background that he conveniently packs away when he wants to "speak proper".
Why compromise who he is to pander to people who will only see him as one way anyways? Might as well let that Southside Chicago flourish right? Im on that boat.
English accents, grammars, syntax, etc. All have hierarchy in society...this is OLD school class warfare.

Its nuances u pick up when he said it. I understand what he said immediately, but da real issue is some people don't wanna bury da hatchet as fast as others...
look at da SC massacre... Some folks were legit mad that those churches forgave that killer as fast as they did for da sake of being a good Christian.

Word, kind of tough to explain to folks without a deep culture or real interactions with folks far outside of it. American bravado is an odd thing.

So you really tryna tell us you talk to your grandmother the same way you talk to your boys? You talk to the people you interact with on a professional basis the same way you talk to those you interact with casually? With no differences whatsoever?

Actually, I mostly talking about Piles turning up the ignorance for IG. Every time I heard Kanye talk, he sounds like a regular middle class black man, Ive never heard him "talk white".
Exactly Plies out here looking like he dropped out of HS and he knows better. Perpetrating a stereotype.

Bruh..we talking about speaking.
Right. I understand. This dude out here making seem cool to be unequipped.

Now its grandmother?
To answer your question yes. What make you think I talk to my boys like I dropped out of school in the 8th grade? Yall act like theres no in between. Idk maybe its because Im country, but Ive been told many times by females that they can tell I have an "edge" to me. Maybe Im an anomaly.

The thing I always noticed with Kanye is, he's played his double lifestyle card many times
He grew up in the hood, but he wasn't a hood *****. And a lot of people can relate.
The thing is, being a rapper and trying to go hard ***** his whole jig up.
Like, if you want to be in the neutral zone, cool. Whatever. Nobody's asking you to be big bad Kanye one minute, then put on the forced "proper English" the next
Just be you, guy. Talk how you want to talk. Walk how you want to walk. But don't flip the switches. Be that 100 percent

Even Plies when he tones down his OD goon bihh talk you can still pull his identity outta of da eloquence..Kanye will completely become a whole nother individual...its offensive to hiphop cuz up until very recently.. Put a emphasis on authenticity.
