  • @JavaLatte - I think the 'be' usage here is a bit more modern?

  • @MichaelHarvey I't take your word for it. Modern passed me by a long time ago.

The difference is that 'be' for 'is' (and, also, 'gonna' for 'going to') are street talk, slang, informal, and not standard English. Avoid them in formal writing, school work, etc.
