How could east coast ppl call the south bamas when philly and baltimore exist?

[Formerly Black Trash]

I mean the accents

 

[semicko82]

and this is coming from someone with a thick southern accent

I don't think the term bama has anything to do with accents.

What's wrong with the Baltimore accent? It's unique

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

New York nikkas don't realize they have the most easily recognized accent of all ADOS brehs.

Soon as a Queens or BX breh opens his mouth, you already know he gon tell you your pizza and bagels ain't shyt and he been rocking this best fits since '93. Philly, Boston and B-More are the same damn way.

West coast is a mixed bag. Some nikkas sound like Marshawn. Some sound like Cube or Snoop. Some sound like surfer nikkas.

Down South you have a lot of different accents. Flaw-Da nikkas don't sound like Memphis brehs. New Orleans brehs don't sound like Dallas or Houston nikkas. Brehs from The Sip got their own accent and lingo.

Only brehs you can't pinpoint (to me) is the Midwest. St. Louis...yeah, but not Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland or Gary. I just assume if a breh sounds "hood" but doesn't have an obvious accent, he's a Midwest breh.

Take it a step further and say only NYC/Philly etc., got white people and black people that sound the same. Rural Deep South too...not so much in the cities though.

listen to somebody from Philly say Doll or Salmon. Philly is justified

The term Bama didn't come from Northerners ironically enough, legend has it was started by their neighbors to the West (The Sip) or brehs from the Carolinas.

Personally, I think it's the sip, but it ain't that deep outside usual back and forth joke cracking

They are absolutely the bamas of the east coast fwiw

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Kinda reminds me of that 50 movie where Terrence Howard character calls himself Bama and 50 asked him why he call himself that and he said that “he didn’t want to be called Carolina”

I thought it just meant someone was primitive or country.

I say salmon the right way but I when I moved to MD I did get packed up for a couple of years as a kids

Because of “Dall”, “Gahd”, “Mahm”

I get shytted on for how I say "water" living in Chicago.

I'm biased, but I don't feel Philly has an accent separate from the northeast. Some of the words/slang are country as shyt (jawn, drawin, etc), but they/we sound like Jersey folks or a less exaggerated NYC accent.

I thought it was people from the south (like Alabama) that went up north but their style was off and it was easy to tell the were from the south. I think it's mentioned in Malcolm X. In the movie the scene with him and Shorty wearing the loud suits was making that point.
