The further into the projects you go the more it occurs. The more gangsta the rap artists or athlete, the worse it seems to get. It heard it on the radio this morning; the DJ was interviewing a football player. It’s just as bad as high school girls saying “like” to describe everything or people saying “umm” at every pause instead of just taking a breath.
