Ebonics, n.
A non-standard form of American English originating from black people in the United States. Derived from a combination of the words ‘ebony’ and ‘phonetics’. Made popular through its wide use in rap and hip-hop music.
Eg.
ENGLISH: “My, you’re a lovely young lady.”
EBONICS: “DAMN bitch! Youz a fine muther fucker!”

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?”

The song chosen was “One More Chance (remix)��? by Notorious B.I.G. Here’s a sample:

Lyrics:
First things first, I poppa, freaks all the honeys
Dummies - playboy bunnies, those wantin’ money
Those the ones I like ‘cause they don’t get nathan’
But penetration, unless it smells like sanitation
Garbage, I turn like doorknobs
Heart throb, never, black and ugly as ever
However, I stay coochied down to the socks
Rings and watch filled with rocks

TRANSLATION:
As a general rule, I perform deviant sexual acts with women of all kinds, including but not limited to those with limited intellect, nude magazine models, and prostitutes. I particularly enjoy sexual encounters with the latter group as they are generally disappointed in the fact that they only receive penile intercourse and nothing more, unless of course, they douche on a consistent basis. Although I am extremely unattractive, I am able to engage in these types of sexual acts with some regularity. Perhaps my sexuality is somehow related to my fancy and expensive jewelry.

It’s done extremely well, and I realise now why rap stars continue to proliferate this bastardisation of the English language: because it sounds stupid otherwise. Hilarious read.
Haha fuckin Hilarious
