It's dialect. It's written to mimic the spoken word, but in no way is standard American or British English.
Many authors use dialect to "flavor" their writings with everyday speech, but usually a little goes a long way.

Not proper english at all.
Plus, only 9 out of the 15 words in that sentence are spelt correctly. 7 of which really can't be spelt any other way.

I think it's English, although I don't understand it myself. What's off da chain?
Obviously it isn't "standard" English, but then why should it be?

No. And yes. It's based on English, but slang is far to "loose" to be proper English.
