You're referring to phrases typically used in AAVE. And just so ya know, AAVE is a completely grammatical dialect of English, and there is nothing wrong or sloppy about it. It just doesn't function in exactly the same way as SAE. All dialects are different. It's always fashionable to throw stones at the dialects of the "lower classes," but linguistically, it is just as developed as any other form of the language.
Keep in mind English itself was once a peasant's language too lowly for the ruling class to bother with. That's why all of our military jargon is French.
AAVE? I'm not familiar with that term. What's it mean? Oh yeah, another is right. My autocorrect is broken so it happens.
