ebonics

Ebonics is the mixture of ebony (a tree that if stipulated to use to represent the Afro-American race) and phonics (of phonetic). In other words this means a type of dialect created by Afros-American in the states of the South of the United States, that now is known in everybody due to expansion of the expressions of this dialect.
Ebonics concentrates proper rules of grammar, actualy, changes of the formal rules of the English.

example:

The verb "you be" disappears
English: You are crazy!
Ebonics: You crazy!

Negation with ain’t
English: You are no hero, friend.
Ebonics: You ain’t no hero, man.

you can see it in one music:

[Verse 1: 50 Cent]You can have it your way, how do you want it
You gon' back that thing up or should i push up on it
Temperature rising, okay lets go to the next level
Dance floor jam packed, hot as a teakettle
I'll break it down for you now, baby it's simple
If you be a nympho, I'll be a nympho
In the hotel or in the back of the rental
On the beach or in the park, it's whatever you into
I Got dat magic stick, I'm the love doctor
Have your friends teasin you 'bout how sprung I gotcha
Wanna show me how you work it baby, no problem
Get on top then get to bouncing round like a low rider
I'm a seasons vet when it come to this shit
After you broke up a sweat you can play with the stick
I'm tryin to explain baby the best way I can
I melt in your mouth girl, not in your hands
hahaha
