Honestly dudes from Chicago dont really have an accent

[hoodheronova]

Everyone has an accent The midwestern accent isn't "no-accent" it's just the most neutral sounding one and this is the one used for boilerplate media (the news, entertainment news, etc), and mid-westerners have tested as being the most averse to hearing anything that doesn't sound like them. The west coast accent strikes people as being too liberal, the New England and Northeast Accents are associated with elitism (upper class) or aggressive (lower class), and the southern accent as unprofessional (upper class) or dumb (lower class).

The mid-west being so big and not associated with any particular lifestyle stereotypes and the really flat vowel sounds make it sort of "basic" english

It's the most boring accent imo

damn brotha your well researched. You a millionaire yet?

Chicago sounds closer to TX nikkas(drawl not as heavy or slow) then ATL or FL

Sounding country means you southern. No own thinks southerners sound like default Americans

 

[Dreamzeedream]

yea but if it wasn't for the words Keef used, you wouldn't be able to tell he's from Chicago. Its weird that Chicago doesnt really have its own style

fukk outta here

nah not necessarily, theres levels to this shyt pimp

You can't use the way these hood nikkas in the south side Chicago as an example of Chicago "accent". Chicago doesn`t really have an accent to me; I agree with the thread starter.

Gambino sounds more "American" than keef.

 

[How Sway?]

There's definitely a "white" chicago accent (da superfans on snl) but black folk don't really have a noticeable accent. Not to me anyway

Most either sound like cross between a country twang b ut fast talking city guy (kanye, lil durk, keef) or they got no accent (chance the rapper, vic mensa)

So country is the default American accent? Where are you from, breh?
