  Speech
Speech can be described as an act of producing voice through the use of the vocal cords and vocal apparatus or other means, such as sign language, to create linguistic acts in the form of language that communicate information from an initiator to a recipient.
The success of a speech act depends on numerous factors, including the presence or absence of a variety of speech disorders, the ability of the speaker to express the intended message, and the ability and willingness of the audience to play the role of recipient.
Speech is a composite of sciences (phonetics, anatomy, philosophy, psychology etc.) and therefore it is extremely hard to master the skill.

Yet the rapper also shows his angst-ridden, social-responsibility side, resulting in some of "The Rising Tied's" most wince-worthy moments, though on "Right Now," he, Black Thought (of The Roots) and Styles of Beyond trade out a series of quasi-evocative, desperate scenarios faced by everyone from the troops in Iraq to the poor here at home.

Freedom of speech is protected in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights and is guaranteed to all Americans.

What's fascinating to me about African American speech is its spontaneity, the requirement that you not only have a repertoire of vocabulary or syntactical devices/constructions, but you come prepared to do something in an attempt to meet the person on a level that both uses the language, mocks the language, and recreates the language.
