How come black ppl don't talk like this anymore?

[MIKE SPLEAN]

Black people don’t seem as sharp as we did back in the day in general.

Cause it’s not cool to be educated or to have common sense

 

[Complexion]

People follow what they see on screen. Weapon of mass influence.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Yes, I said 'we'. I'm a 70's baby.

Ah, this explains your c00ninsh ways a little bit more.

y'all gotta stop pushing these dumbass narratives.

Literally sound like parrots repeating what a cac says

 

[BaggerofTea]

Southern brehs and mid west black folks still have that cadence heavy.


Sounds like northern brehs have been white washed

I was just thinking the same exact thing. I was watching some talk show clips from the early 90’s, and the Black people in the audience were able to clearly and concisely deliver their points. Today? A lot of us can’t even say what we have to say without stumbling on our words or rambling incoherently. Something definitely changed

 

[concise]

The pervasiveness of mass media has affected all accents across the country.

i've noticed that suburban people from various parts in america all sound like the same mufukka. shyt is weird AF . especially early to mid 20's suburban people.

They're too spread out and too sheltered compared to everyone else so they pick up a lot of things from the tv and movies.

Interesting question
It seems like cadence changes over the years for all races. That's why white people don't talk with that Nucky Thompson "yaaah wanda say" 1920s cadence either

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

what happened to that rhythmic cadence? only old nikkas still talk like that

I met an old school south side Chicago Pimp in Vegas talking like that, Dude was fly as hell with it

Miss talking to my Uncle Leroy
Video took me down memory lane

 

[Ahadi]

Idk why the first guy reminded me of Kendrick Lamar.

 

[Cape Town JHB]

I watch this YouTube channel Hezakya Newz & Films, and it has a bunch of throwback videos and I always notice how people speak.

How the hell does that guy have access to that much archive footage, does he get it from Internet Archive or did he inherit a stash.
