Why is uk rap so fucking trash?

I can't take it seriously at all, there's something about a British accent that makes making threats or acting tough sound really corny.

If you actually were bilingual you would know that "maldito" goes before nouns.
>>
>>9164769
If you actually knew spanish and weren't a fucking pleb you would know that the word "mamanepe" is not a real word, but is actually a common phrase used by the spanish-speaking youtuber Elbananero, who plenty of times finishes his string of insults with maldito, instead of starting with maldito.

Go back to reading your fucking english-spanish dictionary, I am clearly on a level beyond your white understanding, get rek'd.

WTF.
You sharing an anecdote about your opinions of an English dialect is not linguistics. Actual linguist on standby.
>>
>>9164775
>spanish
>not assuming that every word you don't know is an obscure regional insult
and one that contains 'mama' of all things
>>
>>9164785
>Actual linguist on standby.
Okay, what is the linguistic explanation for

IT DAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Being the pronunciation for "It's there"
>>
How did Nas write The World is Yours? I mean how does one get to that level of linguistics? Seriously. I'm not into rapping or anything but I'm genuinely curious about how one can write something like that.

How do I Nas like linguist?
>>
>>9164790
Language variation. Is this supposed to be African American Vernacular English? If so, and you need a specific explanation, there is null marker as a third-person copula, meaning "It is" becomes "It", or "He is a linguist" becomes "He a linguist". Secondly, the voiced dental fricative in General American English (the sound at the beginning of "there") becomes a voiced dental plosive in AAVE. Finally, r-dropping is an extremely common feature of English dialects and AAVE happens to be one that does that as well.

Are you autistic or racist? It is not fucking african american vernacular you racist asshole. The singer there is Shaun Ryder, a britbong.

I made a mistake telling you to go to /lit/, maybe /pol/ is more up your alley.
>>
>>9164817
Not too much of a difference depending on the British dialect
>>
>>9164818
So the english speak like black people?
>>
>>9164820
No. There is a huge dialectical discrepancy in England, so some dialects may have similar features to black English.
>>
>>9164824
This really makes me think. What is the linguistic explanation for niggers developing a dialect very similar to some english regions. Are black people native from england?
>>
>>9164833
I would prefer you not to use racial slurs. And no, I'll try to dumb it down to your level of reading comprehension. Unrelated languages can have like features.
>>
>>9164860
Why did you say nothing when the other guy used the racial slur "britbong" but now you make a big deal about my use of "nigger"?

What is the linguistic explanation of that?
>>
>>9164863
You're not very good at this. I'm only responding to keep bumping this and have a real linguistics thread.
>>
How do I master linguistics to the level of Nas?
>>
>>9164870
Hi samefag. Study metrics (i.e. stress, prosody, etc.) You really can't be a poet without a deep understanding of it.
>>
>>9164871
? Can you suggest books for that? I want to improve my English too since I'm not a native speaker.
>>
>>9164885
Unfortunately I don't have the papers that I used in class anymore. The main thing is to understand stress.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(linguistics)

From there, you can move on the syllable weight, prosody, and metrics. Just google each and read a couple articles. I'll return if I find something more solid. Sorry I can't be of more help.
>>
>>9164871
Linguistically speaking, why do brits sound like such soft wimpy little bitches?
>>
>>9164885
Thank you. Do you know anything about improving writing like good sentence structuring and whatnot?
>>
>>9164907
Linguistics has nothing to say about your opinion of certain English dialects.
>>
>>9164908
Linguistics won't help you with that. Honestly the prosody stuff is probably not going to help you with poetry either.
>>
>>9164775
>>9164789
>ignores the fact he actually watches spanish youtubers
>>
Please explain the origin of the phrase "it costs a buck two eighty"
>>
any linguist or just general hip hop enthusiasts know the pros n cons or just general diferences of hip hop in stress timed languages vs syllable timed ones?
