What happen to Bun B’s Texas drawl?

[Soylent Greenz]

I'm reading the comments and I know for a fact alotta yall nikkaz live in rooms in some bytch/ya momma house.

Bun got to be over 50 and yall want him to talk like Charleston White.

 

[NoMayo15]

Y'all gotta stop acting like there's no middle ground between speaking proper and being an ignorant hood nikka.

This. And I don't know why so many are in here defending it like it's at all necessary.

I mean, did Jay code switch like this when he transistioned to other business ventures beyond rap? Do Cube, or Ice-T sound completely different when they go on The View or Charlie Rose? Ludacris has got to be near 50 now, but he's not talking like his real name is Clarence.

I mean, it's one thing to grow up and not sound like a complete bama, but this is too fake.

He a old ass lanme ass fake. That's why. I remember when every Houston concert this fat goofball would ride the out of town rappers jock to get invited out on stage. Everybody was sick and tired of seeing this dude crash ever concert

 

[CashmereThoughts]

I’ve met him as well he was extremely nice and laid back for a celeb. Him and chamillonaire

He was nice and down to earth he just wasn’t talking like that

That drawl is rare for educated folks. Why do we keep needing rappers to be bottom of the barrel?

 

[Dameon Farrow]

Angry Faced for talking crazy about the man that gave us that fire verse on Murder. Not acceptable. He could come out talking Chinese with sprinkles of Greek for all I care. Dude is a legend.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

Be unaware that rappers play characters brehs.

I had to rep. People forget these dudes are actors in majority of cases. And that's not a bad thing. Al Pacino can run around playing everything from a mob boss to the devil himself and nobody cares how he rolls in real life. A black man has to be a walking breathing stereotype every minute. FOH

Lmao, no that's not it at all. Jay-Z isn't a walking stereotype, but he doesn't put on a fake ass Buddy Holly ass voice to appease white people either. I'm listenin to the Murder verse now and the contrast between this and the OP interview is massive. Bun doesn't have to be sellin dope on the corner to still be authentic.

Jay Z has a fake ass persona peroid voice hair dress

 

[audemarzz]

yeah okay. ive met this man in real life twice this was not his energy. why he wasn't "friendly" with me?

Bun Jordan doesn't associate with "nikkas". You might have looked like a fan of "hard rap"

 

[Silver Surfer]

Bun one of those dudes you just gotta remember his old music and take it for what it is

 

[staticshock]

A lot of you want these guys to carry that street dude mentality into the corporate world where there hardly any Black people.

You should know how to conduct yourself as a professional and you should also know how to conduct yourself in a more relaxed atmosphere around people you’re more comfortable with too.

He isn’t getting taking seriously running up in a board meeting or speaking in an interview with a cup full of lean rocking a grill. Bun is also older now too, dude is in his late 40s almost 50 years old, he obviously isn’t going to be on the same type of time he was on in his 20 and even early 30s. You grow up and you evolve.

Lol nobody is asking him to have lean with him. Folks are asking why he talks like a white bytch now…you can still be professional and yourself while not talking like a valley girl.

Look at Anthony Edwards. Bruh is a media darling and loved by everyone because he’s himself. He doesn’t go around trying to portray being a street nikka. He keeps it professional but he still has his Atlanta accent in front of cameras and white folks.

 

[REdefinition]

For comparison sake, here is a recent interview of Bun speaking in his natural speaking voice. He doesn't sound ignorant or uneducated at all. Just a normal older black man voice. This is NOT the voice from the video in the OP lol.
