Aladin wasn't naturally that good. He got those skills because he lived in the slums and had to steal to eat ("...Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat...") Jay, while son of Jafar, lived in similar if not worse conditions than Aladin did. He had to steal to eat, as well as stay on his father's good side. Traits like theft aren't inherited, they are fostered due to their environment. If Aladin or Jay had grown up as a sultan, or a visier as Jafar had done, they would have been groomed to be proper and eloquent.
