I sometimes see this sentence "I been ~ing".
I think it should be "I HAVE been ~ing" but is this "I been ~ing" used as one of slang words?

I think it is very natural to take out "have" when speaking. Of course, it is not correct grammar and is only used in casual situations.
For example, when I see (or message) a good friend after a long time, I will often say "How you been?!" instead of "how have you been?" "How have you been" can sound a little too stiff and formal when talking to friends, in my opinion. But that's one of the few situations where I freely take out the word "have."

Does this make the sentence more natural like "the way that real American people say"?

I think you will hear that or a really short version of 'I've' where the 've' part is not stressed.

I think this is sometimes slang and sometimes poor grammar. I would use "have" in order to sound normal.

Yes. Recently another strange thing that is cool is to say, "imma". It's like, "I'm about to do something or I'm going to do something. Ex. (Imma get busy up in here!" Blurring words or leaving off sounds makes it cool in certain music.

@doryuu: thank you! That's what I thought. I understand :)) I wanted to learn words that young people (like around my age) often use so thanks again. And if you know other words/ways to say something without sounding stiff, can you teach me? I really wanna know.
