this is a scarecely known fact about Mingster:
the first two years of my life in the US were spent smack in the middle of Oklahoma City (NW25th street, if anyone knows what OKC is like). the school i attended, Taft Middle School, was a few blocks down from NorthWest High School, and i swear the school was 85% African American. i spoke nary a word of English when i first moved here (i was 11 years old), and all my friends were African Americans. by the time i left Oklahoma City and moved to Arcadia (a suburb of Los Angeles), Mingster spoke English like a true Brother from the South - and the N word was a natural part of the language for me until i moved out to CA. the first day of school at Foothills Junior High in Arcadia was really interesting. first period was English, and when i opened my mouth to introduce myself, the whole class (including the teacher) were on the floor laughing. think of the embarrasement i had to endure: an Asian boy, 13 years old, speaking English like a true "Brotha".
i corrected my accent rather quickly, but i swear once in a while my tongue would slip.

you guys think you hear the worst of the newest generation of slang? Welcome to highschool... The lettered words you guy's refer to are common place, but more common are the words heard every day turned into horrible wreched sentances that can make you squirm, words not yet disallowed in school systems. You can't get thrown out for yelling it in the hall like you can if you say the N word the F word and so on, but you will lose a teachers respect really fast if you throw one of these choice words out. It's horrible. I can teach you guys how to talk smack sometime. Or, not..
