it's like half slur, half retarded, half drunk, and alot of trying to be cool/valley bullshit west coast crap.

I don't think the accent thing is an attempt to be cool. It's just a way of singing in a certain range without sounding terrible. I think it's kind of the same as how David Bowie's voice completely changes when he gets into certain ranges--except Bowie sounds fucking awesome, and Armstrong sounds fucking obnoxious.
