Go to any inner city - NY, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, whatever and see if they sound like Adam.

The ones in Chicago do, as do the ones in Gary, Ford Heights, and Melrose. I can't speak to the other major metro areas, only the people I know. Someone having been in a gang or even in prison doesn't automatically mean someone is ignorant or can't form a complete sentence. That's more in line with the Hollywood stereotype.
