I guess that is true, but I think that would refer to something like "a real friend" or "a real hero" rather than saying, for example, that the lyrics of a song were "real" or that someone was "being real". Maybe my own interpretation of the word isn't quite accurate, but I've never heard that construction before about 3 or 4 years ago.
