there's no need to back it up with concord jare, it is what those 21century rappers are instilling in da brains of dia fans. Imagine Eminem saying YOU IS THERE WHEN YOU'S KICKED MY BUTTS! Lol, it's damn erroneous jare, 'you' remains plural and only plural verb e.g are must succeed it... E.g YOU ARE SO VERY STUPID FOR CHOOSING TO BE A STREET HO.
