I am on your side bajanyankee, but I do have to disagree with this. SF is responsible for one type of culture and that is hippie culture. SF led the hippie movement back in the 60's and it has not stopped. However, other than the hippie movement this is their main contribution, if ppl consider it a contribution.
If by hippie culture you mean vegetarianism, the green movement, etc then yea it is a major contribution. Name a major city in the world that is not making an effort to go green.
There are kids in the Bay Area and all over the world right now bumping to Watch the Throne and the Blueprint 3. The music given to you by the boy Shawn Carter who came from that BK Borough. I can tell you that NOBODY's listening to anything coming out of San Francisco. All of the kids you see wearing rags with fitted caps? That's Brooklyn, son. I can also tell you that NOBODY's imitating any styles in San Francisco. Brooklyn has a greater impact on the rest of the world (including SF) than SF.
You sure about that? I'm pretty sure there are few Metallica CDs floating around there, but that's just a hunch.

No. I am talking about looking homeless, not having a job and loving it, playing hackie sack, camping, hiking and stuffing their faces with organic granola. It's all good though bro, it's hella.
If you ignore that NYC bit the last 10 years of its street culture from LA and the South then you might have a point.
That's funny. When I studied in France, the very first question people asked me was "Are you from Harlem?" ou en francais "Vous etes d'Harlem?" When I answered in the negative, the very next question was "Brooklyn?" I mentored Arab, African and some white students in Le Blanc Mesnil and they knew all about TRL, Biggie Smalls, "Do or Die" Bed-Stuy, Fabolous, and 50 Cent. Many of them sported Yankee fitteds with doo-rags underneath (even the white kids). I wish I could go back and poll those kids on what they know about San Francisco. I bet it would be zilch.
NYC's influence is incredibly strong across the globe. It's the first city people think of when the US is mentioned. San Francisco is really an afterthought in comparison.
Levis is low quality, it goes together with ppl who watch nascar and shop at wal mart. How is that for elitism???
And yet if it werent for San Francisco, your precious rappers would be wearing polyester slacks.
LOL.
Furthrmore, Brooklyn is a d-list nobody compared to SF when it comes to business. San Francisco is a destination business city, not a place you might drive through on your from the airport to Manhattan.
Nice rap songs tho.
