N2  - African American slang, often rooted in African American Vernacular English (AAVE), reflects the unique cultural,
social, and historical experiences of Black communities in the United States. It evolves rapidly, shaping identity,
solidarity, and self-expression while influencing mainstream language, music, and media. This linguistic phenomenon
encompasses creative wordplay, metaphors, and distinctive pronunciation patterns, serving both communicative and
cultural functions. Studying African American slang provides insight into social dynamics, resistance, and innovation within
language, highlighting the interplay between culture, identity, and linguistic creativity
