Sounds country to me. Currently in STL so my opinion is valid

 

[Whore D'oeuvres]

That "nothing 'country' about STL" thread and those KCMO brehs got you hot and bothered

 

[Mastamimd]

It may not be Southern country, but it's country

 

[Striving For Greatness]

Nelly mo said y’all country so y’all country

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

I genuinely love these kinda threads... accents, dialects, and all. Been intrigued by it since before I could realize


That being said, even Nelly and The St. Lunatics described it as a "Midwest Swing"

DJ Quik put that tag on STL on a national level with "Jus Lyke Compton".

If someone from St Louis came to me I would immediately know they aren’t southern.

that “thurrrr” “hurrrr” accent is officially related to the Midwest to me.


That’s all I heard from the black folks in Ferguson after that cop killing for weeks on TV.

 

[WaveWhisperer]

We have an accent. Lil drawl .

nothing to be ashamed of

Everyone said I had an accent when I moved out to Cali from the Lou. Even certain words, folks knew where I was from.

to this day I still get asked to repeat what I said when I say “fo” meaning 4. It is what it is

It may not be Southern country, but it's country

There’s nothing country about a city that has urban infrastructure and was literally the 6th most populated city in the country at one point with historical rivalries with Chicago

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

So @BrownBunny would you say Memphis has a southern accent? Because Memphis right down the interstate from stl. And it's not that dissimiliar

 

[FlexPavilion]

Ghetto ass Northside AAVE is not a Southern accent

I don’t know anything about the “hur thur” some of you all were insisting on.

There's literally a song called "Right Thurr".

I went to school in Central Illinois, and a lot of people from St. Louis went there. Some added 3 or 4 extra R's in their words and some didn't.

I think we sound country but I don’t know anybody besides nelly chingy and them who actually says hurr and thurr. I say here and there.
