The phrase "my bad" was coined by black people. We were saying that way before hip hop adopted it and put it into song.

RAYVON LYRICS
My Bad
I heard you've been stressing
I hope that you really learnt a lesson
And realized that I was a blessing
You took my kindness for weakness
And look at you now
Depressing
Girl you're really falling off on your dressing
You haven't shopped in a while I'm guessing
Tell me how you feel
When your girls looking hot and you know that your not
Are you missing
The Bacardi, and the parties, and the crissing
And the dinners at The Spinners and the kissing
I know things ain't like they used to
Now that I'm gone
No more cruising in the X5
No more platinum cards
No more versace on your backside
Your heading straight back to K-mart
[Hook:]
Remember when we used to go for boat rides
We used to have some beautiful laughs
I showed you my sensitive side
And you took it for me being soft
[Chorus:]
My Bad,
I should have treated you like the skank you are
Instead of having you riding up in my car
If I had stuck to my original plan
You'd have been a one night stand
My Bad
I should have known you could never be true
I should have treat you like those other guys do
If you only knew who was cheating too
You would see the jokes on you
My Bad
You thought I was a dreamer
You thought you got me because I let you have my Beemer
Now who you think has been the real schemer
When all of a sudden I'm hangin with all of your friends
Like Regina, Remember her?
When last time you've seen her
Well the next time you do she'll be cleaner
Cause she will be rocking your jewels and pushing your Benz
No more days at the nail shop
No more tabs at the bar
No more flossing in the drop top
No more hanging with stars
[Hook]
[Chorus x3]
My Bad

I've always wondered if it didn't start out as , "mmm I'm bad".
That would make more sense to me..maybe I saw that somewhere.
What in the world would "My bad" actually mean anyway? Short hand for "My bad decision" or something like that?

I don't know but it sure is getting to be irritating to hear. Not quite as bad as inserting the word "like" after every word in a sentence, now that's IRRITATING, but none the less like I said its getting old.
