I've never actually heard anyone say "youse guys wanna" other than on the Sopranos, but I know it happens. There are so many subdialects kicking around. In my area of Connecticut we're rhotic speakers but once I get close to the Rhode Island border I start hearing the non-rhotic pronunciations (butter as butta/ park as pahk, etc.).
