Ebonics: In English!

  I figured what the hell are they saying so I looked up some phrases (watched Airplane the other night):

Jive/Ebonics: “Sheeeeiit, foo, I’z be doin’ dat shit an’ shorty be axin me fo’ sum’ scrilla.”
English: Shit, friend, I am doing that stuff, and my girlfriend is asking me for some money.

Ebonics: “Yo G, you frontin me?”
English: “Excuse me, my peer, are you attempting to influence me to engage in a violent action with you?”

Ebonics: “You gots to git those Benjamins so you cin git dat bling-bling fo yo ride”
English: “You need to get money so that you can get expensive accessories for your car.”

Bill Cosby said: “I can’t even talk like these people talk: ‘Why you ain’t’ and ‘Where you is’. Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.”
