The reason Kendrick felt so comfortable dissing the accent is because of these suburban white kids who do these stupid Toronto accent exaggeration parodies on TikTok... not because of the Black community who authentically speaks the way they do.

    I'm old enough to remember when you could tell when someone was from Rexdale, or Finch, or Scarborough, or Flemo, because depending on which part of the city you lived, you had different phrases and ways to annunciate words. When a jungles spoke, you knew right away. I saw the shift when Scarborough mutes started speaking like they were from west. Scarborough yutes had more of mixed crews, where you'd see more white mutes in their crews and next thing I see is white girls from Oshawa and Indian mutes who don't even hang with black mutes, speaking like this. Weird.

    i grew up in upper scarborough so as a kid i never knew anyone who spoke in the 'Toronto accent'. eventually i started work with youth, esp inner city youth, and sometimes i hear the 'vibe' of the toronto accent but 1. it's usually like every few sentences, there's some slang and 2. the adults definitely do not speak like that. so i believe it's either non-black people acting dumb or young people/kids who think it's cool.

    As an American from Buffalo i definitely understand what you’re saying. My aunt lived in Mississauga and is now in Scarborough. I’ve spent plenty of time in the GTA and this accent was something I only heard from black ppl until recently. Regardless you made some excellent points white people mimic black culture no matter where in the world. Social media has just made it spread like wildfire… the mimicking that is. Words that are deemed ghetto become pop culture as soon as they leave our communities within a years time.

      Unfortunately, most of us Canadians... of all backgrounds ...don't understand the benefits of being bilingual.
      We SHOULD be multilingual, but too many folks attach power and conflict to language (as tribal indentifier/loyalty)...
      ...so what started out as a brilliant means of resolving the centiries old (English vs French) settler conflict still hasn't reached its potential.
      We're stuck in dumb tribalist behavior here in Canada too.

    Toronto is what you get when a small city tries extra hard to act New York. New York has a very distinct accent. And it’s absolutely badass. So Toronto tries to follow in its footsteps and make its own district accent. The end result is a cringe-bastardized version of Jamaican, ebonics, cholo accent and UK all mashed into one. It’s the most unoriginal accent I've ever heard.

      Even tho I agree with most of your comment, I disagree with the last part. If you’re not Caribbean you’re valid to speak like that IF THAT WAS the environment you grew up in, it becomes natural at some point. Plus African immigrants have also put on for the dialect, specifically Somali people. So if you grew up in an area like for example Jane and Finch, where there’s plenty of African and Caribbean people, even if you’re not Black yourself sooner or later you going to pick up on the dialect and you will start sounding them because that's the environment you grew up in, but if you grew up in an area where there’s no black minorities around you, then you will not sound like that. It’s no different from white kids in America who grew up in the hood and start speaking like the stereotypical Black or Hispanic person in the hood.

    What Jamaicans refer to as "twang" is when they go from speaking with the Jamaican patoi and accent to making an attempt to speak with the proper English grammar and accent like the British natives of Britain (white ppl). Usually, something that natives of Jamaica find amusing and funny when they're hearing another fellow Jamaican trying to speak proper English like an American or British national.

    But check this out now can u blame em? Jamaicans are more times the Center of friend groups and most vocal in them so yo tbh long as it sounds natural I have no problem with it being used. Look at a man like Turk what u gonna tell him. Imagine ur raised ur whole life indulged in it not knowing u even sound a way. But the “putting on” er’s tryna sound a way to be unique or make fun needs to dead cus those r what’s trending on the net. And to be fair we don’t have enough authentic representations I been sayin this from time. All the ogs gone marlon Palmer, 4yall n dem

      Yall shut up with yall ignorant ass takes. People can say the Toronto dialect sounds "stupid" or "ugly" because Toronto is not the only city that gets insults like that. I've seen an equal amount memes of the Baltimore accent, and I'm pretty sure the people over there don't care because it's been there before the internet saw it, and it will still be there after, same thing with Toronto, black communities in the city have been speaking like that from AT LEAST the 90s it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
      New York is arguably the most famous city in the world and their accent is also one of the most iconic and recognizable in the world. AND THEY EVEN GET CLOWNED for how they speak. Black people in Florida also sound "stupid" to some people because they slur some their words and you can't really make out what they're saying unless you're from there. Memphis still gets cooked LIKE CRAZY for how they talk, everybody gets clowned

      @@GRIMZTVNETWORK Every. Single. One. Not every single person. But people from every Caribbean nationality.
      I am Canadian born West Indian of African descent, born here in old Grace Hospital in 1959. Isolated from the majority of folks (immigrant and native born like myself)... because in 50s/60s Toronto, the majority to immigrants tended to live in the core, however some of us made the move to rent and purchase homes in the suburbs.
      I not only witnessed it by
      hearing but also... "feeling".
      While my sense of longing for belonging to "my own" was based on knowing (and need to "know") myself, as a West Indian, it ALWAYS felt weird when those of our background would try to sound like Americans. As a someone with a Jamaican mother and Bajan father... it was ALWAYS a comforting breath of fresh air when encountering (usually older, mature) West Indians who weren't "putting on" the U.S. accent. By early/mid 70s the emergence of Rasta Culture (real Rasta not follow fashion) was a comforting/affirming experience as well.
      On observation/analysis over the years, the pattern became clear.
      Most people, Black, Brown, Beige, White (and/or "other") often adopt ways of dressing, talking, dancing from other cultures they're exposed to because they "like" or feel they identify with the "energy" of another culture's style, however there IS other motives as well.
      Sometimes it is due to lack of self-appreciation and/or insecurity ie:
      - Rural country folk are disrespected as unsophisticated, therefore try to "present" as urban/city to gain cool and/or class. Not all country folk used to do this, but enough.
      - Lower income folks adopting middle and upper class modes of dress to gain acceptability through appearing wealthy, culturally sophisticated, or intellectually "smart".
      - Middle and upper income folks (of ALL ethnic backgrounds) adopting what is perceived as "Ghetto" dress and speech patterns to appear hard, full of "rebel" power, or clever (inspired by the recent 30 year emergence of Hip-hop style and Rap music iconologies and mythologies).
      The Hip-hop/Rap (Black/Afican cultural influence) reference is NOT new and this social effect follows the emergence of EVERY Black/African music and dressing style. Happened with Cuban Habenera, Danzon, Son(Salsa). Happened through the Argentine Tango (Cajengue and Milonga) scene. This also happened (as you may already know)... through Ragtime, Jazz, Swing, Soul, Disco, Funk, Chicago House, Detroit Techno subcultures as well.
      I am also old enough to have witnessed people Black, Brown, Beige, White (and other) all adopting "locks" hairstyling(s which is actually an old Testament consecration of self to GOD according to Nazarite tradition).
      This is (was?) adoption of style without original meaning... along with smoking ganja and adopting humble dress ...in order to "appear" humble, wise, spiritual etc.
      The phenomenons I'm referring to are known as enculturation and aculturation. Keep in mind these things are ofen part of cultural appreciation and should NOT always be confused with cultural appropriation.
      Along with the innocent natural appreciation and adoption of other cultures (ethnic, sociological) attributes we refer to as style...
      ...admittedly there is the other fear or insecurity driven motive I described above which you would recognize intellectually as "power by association"... but possibly refer to as faking, fronting... 😄 ...and my (70s) generation would call "signifying".
      You quite possibly witnessed (and recognize) the same behaviors among your peers in middle school and high school.
      In my day, teens joined (and sometimes bounced between) Funk, Rocker, Artsy Bohemian, Rasta, Disco-Soul, and Folk identities.
      Correct me if I'm wrong... 😉 ...but you probably witnessed youth doing the same with the Hip-hop/Rap, Rock, Alternative, Reggae, and House/Club identities of your generation, yes?
      You may not have investigated these aspects of human behavior I'm referring to, however, if you should share this conversation with your parents, great grandparents... you may find confirmation of the same process of cross cultural exchange...
      ...AND the various motives you've witnessed, and I also have lived through... to speak about.

Even if they’re born here their parents are Jamaican so they talk they’ve been talking like this at their houses since childhood. It’s their fault the fools are coping them. There’s hardly black Canadians in Toronto. As a matter of fact I’ve only met 2 black people in Toronto that’s fully Canadian with no connection to a country outside Canada... you aren’t going to find many of them in Toronto. Toronto isn’t like other parts of Canada. No 💩 they’re going to sound Jamaican if that’s their heritage. This isn’t the US where you have black Americans with no real connection to another country. . Almost all the black people in Toronto are of immigrant background and the Jamaicans have one of the larger black communities in the city. Where do you think guys like Andrew Wiggins parents are from ? Jamaica!
