I read an article on this once (from memory so dont quote me) but the guy grew up with a lot of Jamaican immigrants and their kids and picked up Jamaican Patois and the associated slang and street terms as a second language, he was also a rapper. Its been called cultural appropriation by some people... personally I think growing up with people of a different ethnicity and learning their language AND making art with it is a bit different but people will make their own judgements.

Its a mash up of english and that but Its not nonsense if you speak the language.
