I'm doing a skit with my friend for a project on Romeo and Juliet. We are going to recite a partial act of Romeo and Juliet in gangster. I can translate some stuff (greetings, friends, etc.) but I think I'll need some sort of translator if I'm to get this done correctly.


It's only 40 or so lines between the two of us. Sampson and Gregory for those who are interested...


Suggestions? I've been googling gangster translators since forever but came up with dirt, foo.

Don't go dropping N-Bombs in your little speech. I could see people taking offense to this sort of thing using the translator that HN provided.

Just get really, really drunk, call all your ex's (to get right and pissed off), have someone punch you in the face a few times, then try to read the lines. Record it, and you're set!

That's cheating.: D

Here is one the lines I'm having troubles with: "But thou art not quickly moved to strike."

The ebonicstranslator was nice but most of the text proved ineffective. Some words were translated, but most of the conversion was additional text that was in the original. It added "yo mamma" after every phrase, or "peep dis shit."


gizoogle doesn't work for me.

oh yeah, did I mention I can't use obscenities?

should probably go with something besides gangsta speak then. you might end up with something like "yippee kai-yay mr. falcon"
