what it do

Real Talk. What it do is country slang used in the south for decades by many older african americans. Made popular in Houston by its underground rap scene in the mid 90's(for you bay area folks who think yall made that word up, that's southern slang that dates back before e-40's birth.) It is used as a greeting and even a question. (People in the bay area say they use it to ask about something. Ex. As you're looking at someones ride you're like what it do? It drive's you dummy, there's in slang in that question, just inproper english. I must say that they sound dumb using it too.

"What's the deal?"
"I don't know you tell me what it do?"
