'Da', in street language, is the principle definite article and equivalent to 'the' in more formal English.
The use of the the /d/ derives from two main aspects:
-to add emphasis on a phrase
-quicker and easier to ignore the 'th' sound, usually for non-native English speakers (such phenomena is prominent in the word 'ting' rather than 'thing.')
Other variations of this include:
-dis (this)
-dat (that)

Da!...Don't we always go this way?
Da!...That was a dumb thing to say.
Varations: daa, dah, doy, a-da, a-doy, da-ah
These varations were all very popular in the 70's. "Da", with a short "a", was originally pronounced in a brief, crisp, insulting manner. The more recent "Valley" pronounciation, "Da-ah", beginning sometime in the 80's draws out the short "a" into almost questioning tone.
