Y’all dudes are influenced by too much hip hop. New York has different accents for different ethnicities. Black, Italian, and Spanish people all have different sounding NEW YORK accents. Also, if you listen closely you can hear the different accents throughout the 5 boroughs. For instance, I can tell off top if I’m speaking to a Uptown or Bronx person, especially females. The same with Queens dudes. Listen to Jay-Z’s accent and then listen to Nas or Raekwon’s, all different.

I’m from BK and I can hear the NY accent from some people, but not the overall majority.

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.

I’ll admit I have a hard time telling the difference between the black Borough accents. Someone said Brooklyn people talk with their hands. I can believe this because I do.
