I know how you feel. I've had a lot of friends who've turned to.. lets say less than good for you things.

My brother's friends did a gangster remake of Othello in grade 11. Anyways, in their video, they had a rap...




Full video is called "Othello (Gangster Remake) Part 1/2" and obviously part 2.

Ugh, I know what you mean.
My friends have now started saying things like :
Yoo man, when you reaching the lib? (library o.o) OR
Who you gonna chop now? OR
Oh yeah this person and that person got beef now yo, they gonna scrap today after school! You reachin? OR
Yo you look so proper, I love your goods! (clothes . wtf? )

AGH its really annoying, I use the beef line a few times but only for their sake.
I don't get it!

I don't have any friends like that, mostly because I'd never befriend anyone who acted like that. However, there was this one rising senior a grade below me in my homeroom who said "yo" every other word. I want to kill her. She also uses "brah" seriously. She's ugly, to top it all off.


@Arly: Where do you live, because their grasp of the English language seems... weak. Funny nonetheless (or perhaps because of that?)

About the video... Basically they had a group of 6 people. 4 ESL Chinese, and 2 sorta regular people who did the script writing, editing and filming (most). I'm from Toronto, biggest city in Canada, so that's not the problem. Not all people talk like that. =P If you watch the ending of the remake (It's not a full remake... The act where Othello kills Desdemona), two "real" gangsters show up and kick them out of their "territory". But yeah, those two guys are the script writers. They seem to always make videos with the ESL people for the sake of humour.

But yes, most of the people I know have been in Canada for at least 7 years (long enough to gain Canadian citizenship). I'm born here.


There's this guy I know who's brown and has a heavy accent. He tries to act black (like every other brown guy). The mixture of the accents is pretty funny. He acts tough and stuff, but he's really kinda just a wimp... but they always act like they're better than everyone else and give that attitude. Yes. That attitude. (Being vague is fun!)

tell him to come to Mtl.

n'd come to Lindsay Place High and say he's a Crip.

den go 2 Riverdale, and say he's a blood.

And go anywhere and say "I hate M.B.T.!"
