do you write I'ma I'mma ?
I know both are possible, but i don't know wich one is the most common, I used to think it was I'mma but now i would say I'ma.
Of course I'm talking about American slang.

You can use either of these. Whichever you're comfortable with. Perhaps "I'ma", because it's simpler, shorter, and easier to write :P
"I'mma" is more complete and formal in a way, in slang 'grammar' that is xD

"Ima"....as in "Ima kick yo ass out the house if you try to set me on fire again"
At least, that's how we said it in high school...

Even if you are in America, "I'ma" is not a good way to write 'I will'. Even in casual use, it is associated with a very low level of English articulation.
Cheers.
p.s. @James, I share your sense of despondency :-)
