If BP with vocal fry are never on board with the culture, how did we get fooled by Kanye?

[Eternally Jaded]

And this guy has never had the usual inflection that many associate with BM in his speaking voice.

Vocal fry is heavy in his voice, so how did he slip past the watchdogs?

For the record, that squeak/whine is what is considered vocal fry, yes?

No. Kanye's voice has gotten weird over the years but he's not frying. He's almost the exact opposite.

Word?

I always associated it with that whine/nasal squeak added onto words.

You got any examples of dudes doing it?

Any real “black person” knows all American Blacks have our white people voice that we learned from listening to our mothers talk to bill collectors on the phone.

And what is vocal fry?

Vocal fry is that low register cracking voice. It's not the upward inflection at the end of sentences (people often confuse the two) which is also annoying. I'd murder anyone who talked with both.

Vocal fry is like that sorta dragging valley girl accent.

Yup, makes me think of California surfer dudes as well. Not to be confused with "uptalking," where the voice gets higher pitched so that the end of every sentence sounds like a question.
