Driving Like a Nigger 

There are many facets to Driving Like a Nigger. Generaly, all over the road with total disregard for traffic laws, use of turn signals, speed limits, signage, (particularly, no parking signs), and of course, the lack seat belt use. (In most cases, with rap music thumping). Driving Like a Nigger can also apply to coming to a complete stop on a narrow residential inner city street, totaly plugging up traffic to bullshit with a bro, pick up a hoe, buy or sell crack, etc. etc. etc. Driving Like a Nigger can also be defined as positioning the drivers seat so it appears to be non existant to passerbys, and of course to sit on that reclined seat in the Detroit Lean position, one hand on the wheel, the other hand on their crotch.

running like a Kenyan on speed 

Golfing term. When you've totally topped the ball, but it squirts along the ground and goes a bloody mile because of how hard you hit it, your ball is 'running like a Kenyan on speed'.

This derives from the fact that Kenya has a long history of some of the best long distance runners in the world, and the effect that the drug speed has on people.
"You jammy sod, that ball's running like a Kenyan on speed!"
