That happens everywhere tho. I'm from the Midwest but I don't have a black Midwest accent. I just sound like a black man. I could be from any region in America and people would believe it. On a another note, I find it strange that the Midwest is the only region where blacks and whites have completely different accents. Never heard a black man or woman say "Hiya". :russ: Probably due to hyper segregation.

I've traveled and lived all over...i pick up certain shyt here and there...most folks say I sound like I'm from NY even tho I've never even been to the place...plus I grew up in a home where they didn't stand for talking ignorant as hell and pronouncing your words...

this, been all over but I grew into adulthood up North.

if I get drunk and/or pissed off then I start soundin like Meek Millz when he was goin at the pastor :birdman:

all of my family is southern, im talkin TI merr chrimuh southern. just depends on your upbringing :yeshrug:
edit: lol somebody posted the video

Yu guys are overthinking this. Not everyOne in the South have souther accent like people from Atlanta and Alabama. In a lot of part of Louisiana people don't have country accents, but some areas they do.

Luda didn't really grow up in Atlanta. He moved there his high school year.

I think it also depends on how your actual family speaks. If your parents have a strong southern accent, then you are bound to speak that way. Killer Mike doesn't have a deep southern accent even though he was born and raised on the same part of ATL as TI.
