imhim Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 LOL @ this poet corners guy , haha. He needs to stick to talking about bitches. Also Africans talking like they are Caribean = FAIL> It's exactly the same if a white guy would to say that. Why would it be more acceptable for an african to use jamaican slang other than a white dude? IM NOT GONNA LIE, BUT IVE BEEN AROUND AFRICANS ALL MY LIFE... THE ONLY LINGO I HAVE ADOPTED IS "AH" WHEN I TALK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rnbizzle Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 ITS ALSO LIKE WHEN A BLACK MAN BORN AND RAISED IN ESSEX OR WOTEVER IS TALKING ALL APPLES AND PEARS... THAT IS VERY CRINGE... BUT WHAT CAN U DO... one of two things, have a relaity check or kill yourself. You are what you is. f*ck culture, f*ck influence your voice is your voice. White people and africans shouldnt be talking jamaican like its a normal occurance. Too many beggits tryna adopt a cool guy persona thinknig that using that slang will make them look cool or seem to be intimidating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elementalism Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Completely. Black people really are the lost tribe. And how can man chat about Maverick Sabre sounding Jamaican? Has nobody else noticed that the Jamaican accent and the Irish (especially Cork) accent are mad similar...? People need to learn their history, it's no coincidence. There were 30,000+ Irish indentured labourers sent to work in Jamaica, the Irish had a huge influence on the lilt. http://repeatingislands.com/2010/06/23/how-a-huge-irish-community-came-to-be-in-jamaica/ Imagine a Jamaican saying 'Cow' or 'Now' and then imagine an Irish person saying it. Even 'Go On' with an Irish accent leads to 'Gwaan'. Some f*ckery argument. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
