Bun B code switching with this Trill Burger ad for GMA

[O.Red]

Some of you sound like white people who expect Black people to be walking caricatures.

All people have a laid back method of speaking and a professional way of speaking where they will make a bit more effort to structure their sentences and enunciate their words.

Man stop nikkas get so obtuse about this shyt

Why does no one ever accuse Denzel of code switching or talking white? He's very articulate

But Denzel's voice doesn't go up several octaves when he speaks

 

[Cladyclad]

bun has always been articulate, though.

Op a illiterate son of a bytch

 

[Tribal Outkast]

This thread is out of control

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Bun B has acted and spoken his age for the last 20 years we all know he’s articulate.

I’ll keep it a bean tho I know it was for GMA but he was a little jolly in it

Gotta get them trill burgers out to the mainstream

‘If I was on GMA’ Michael strahan himself dont code switch

Here’s Wall Street trapper on Ellen, heavy Nola accent and all. No code switching (Ion like how they had the bruh interviewing him and not Ellen)

Bun B=selling a product to a targeted demographic he has no prior social capital with

Michael Strahan=media darling who already had a career lined up

Wall Street trapper=Ellen wanting to be hip

3 completely different situations

I'm sure Bun spent thousands on stats and analytical information..

The 60 year old white guy wants to be "trill", but he don't want his family wearing pimp c shirts...

GMA is the major leagues and Bun has no social capital to be playing around

This actually makes sense to you! Ngga..

He’s selling burgers​

Tfoh man Lmao

 

[elizjon]

He would look more clownish if he was a 50 year old man acting like this lol.

He is 50 years old, on gma, trying to appeal his business to a bigger crowd. I am not trying to bring the hood to my restaurant

you’re remedial if you think a restaurant called “trill burger” isn’t trying to appeal to the hood.

 

[Numpsay]

Lowkey, a lot of PA (Port Arthur) nıggas weird like that.

Watch your mouth breh

I refuse to believe that your this naive, so I'm gonna take fault for not explaining myself..

The man is obviously trying to expand his brand and is using the GMA exposure to reach as many as possible and develop his social capital..

The more family friendly he is, the different kind of bags that are gonna stroll into his business

He isn't trying to appeal to the free Pimp c crowd...they already know him

Whether he is selling burgers or scarves, if your are told you gonna be on a nationally televised show that

Airs in the morning
In the media capital
Humans from all over the world show up 2

Why would you bullshyt around with a once in a lifetime opportunity?

If you have an issue with him changing his speech or whatever, that's one thing..

But yes there are bigger bags at stake even if you don't see it

 

[Born2BKing]

Bun B is a burger salesman and sells his burgers the same way to everybody. Snoop has the cool, the charisma and icon status to sell endorse a munchie meal under the 'Snoop' brand.

Trill Burgers has to stand on being a great burger.

Sounded same with Drake that he did on GMA. Guess he code switched for Drake?

I mean …I’m legit speechless.

Respectfully, please stop explaining the concept of code switching and being acceptable for white palettes I overstand what you think is necessary and why. What I am telling you is we no longer need to do that. Period. For ANYthing. For ANY demographic.

That could be it right there, but also if there’s one product people don’t gaf what the owner ‘sound’ like it’s food. Like gahdamn jay z don’t gotta code switch to make billion dollar deals but to sell some quarter pounders you gotta be ‘hey, it’s the trill OG’

Jay has been code switching for years man lol. That hair on his head changes nothing. I’ve met company ceos with tattoo sleeves on both arms. It is what it is with that. A man that tell you you need to stop wearing jerseys and wear button ups because you’re 30 now, also that fine art and Euro Jay stuff he was on is worse than what you’re saying Bun is doing lol. I respect the hell out of what Jay has done but that’s how I feel.

No. Code switching is a very specific thing and it pertains to how you speak. Not anything else. Jay z in interviews is the same nasally awkward dry sense of humor dude for the last 20 years

And you’re still conflating speaking professionally with that goofball shyt Bun is doing. No.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Seems like he's just selling a product and adapting his message to his audience but hey

 

[Blessings]

Exactly. Some of these nggas are legit dumb Actually let me fix that. They’re not dumb they’re ignorant. In the true sense of the word, they just don’t know: they don’t know that you can be and sound articulate without purposely trying to ‘sound white’.

Bun B in the OP vid is trying to sound white. Kanye talking to Kris Jenner years ago when he went viral, was trying to sound white. We don’t do that anymore. And tbh I don’t really ‘code switch’ either.

I feel for anyone who sees that OP vid of Bun and sees nothing wrong

OP should’ve posted that interview in comparison with the burger ad.
