Hes does that type of off brand sh*t all the time.
Do you have Kermit on one of your hands and Miss Piggy on the other? This sock puppetry is getting out of hand.
No, you are not going to walk into any DC club and hear a series of DJ Kid Capri and Funkmaster Flex mixes followed by an hour of dancehall and soca. So in that sense, Boston is more like NYC. And DC is more like Atlanta.
Nothing aggressive or streetwise about DC? Have you seen the crime rates? DC is not a soft city by any means and compared to any city south of the Potomac river DC definitely has an aggressive east coast mentality.
New Orleans and Atlanta have even higher crime rates? What does that have to do with having "an aggressive East Coast mentality?" What does "an aggressive East Coast mentality" even mean?

This is like the most retarded post of 2014. Clubs in DC play Kendrick, Wale, Drake, Cole, The ASAP's, Montana, Ross, BIG Shawn, Jay etc...

That's not what I said, is it? That's what every club plays because today's music is homogenized.
I said that you're not going to hear a Kid Capri mix followed by an hour of dancehall and soca at the Park, Luxe Lounge, Bar 7, etc. And that's because: (1) people in DC don't vibe to Up North rap the way Bostonians do and (2) DC doesn't have the same West Indian population Boston does. A typical Boston set will run through Top 40 tracks, move on to harder East Coast raps and classics, and then swerve into Caribbean territory for the rest of the night. You're not going to hear two hours of Bounty Killer, Mavado, Vybez Kartel, Shurwayne Winchester, Alison Hinds, etc. at Park because the West Indian representation is not that large. Unless it's carnival time, you will never see a black crowd in a major club that's more than 50% West Indian. In Boston, the crowd will be roughly half West Indian on any given night.
And Boston nightclubs will invariably have a larger Hispanic presence. So not only will you hear a lot of throwback dancehall songs, but you get a lot of old school Daddy Yankee and stuff like that. Nobody's playing Daddy Yankee at Park on Thursdays.
He has a habit of putting down his newly adopted city every chance he gets whenever it gets compared to Boston, NYC, or Philly and often times always points out the negatives of DC and rarely the positives. Don't even get me started on his personal agenda regarding the regional culture here

+1 Apparently some people think the DC nightlife is non-existent to national and international celebrities. And even still, one can still enjoy a night in The City without a celebrity or two or more showing up. I believe Boston's last call is 1:30am whereas DC is generally 2am but is often 3am to 4am in some major districts on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Boston might have some late night venues as well, probably gotta look for them. DC's a fairly good nightlife city for those into Hip Hop, Salsa, Jazz, R&B, House, Indie Rock, old school Punk, Samba, Dancehall, Trance, and World music. And of course, the local GoGo sound as well. The nightlife in New York may outshine DC's, but give credit where credit is due. Someone else with better knowledge of Boston's nightlife can offer up their own case.
Btw, its spelled Big Sean
Looking forward to seeing Jay-Z again in a couple of weeks! Turn up DMV!!!

How's it going Down North there of the Mason-Dixon in bustling Clinton, Maryland? I'm sure Woodyard Road would come as a real culture shock to someone from Dekalb County, Georgia.
I think I may be one of the few posters here who's actually lived in Boston for multiple years. So saying that Boston is more similar to DC is not "hating." It's just the reality, which is why the poll looks the way it does.
Maybe the results would look much different if DC were being compared to Phoenix instead of Boston.

So you don't know much about Boston, huh?
This thread isn't about which city has the best nightlife. It's about which city is most similar to NYC. As far as nightlife is concerned, a club in Boston feels and looks more like a club in NYC. The crowds at Jovan's (in Rhode Island), Opal Lounge, Roxy, Sugar Shack, etc. look very similar to the crowds at Rebel, Taj or Sutra in NYC. And the music is more similar. Your typical mainstream DC crowd is not going to tolerate four hours of dancehall, but crowds will in NYC and Boston because West Indians make up a much larger portion of the black population. And you see more Hispanics in "black" clubs because Dominicans, Blacks and Puerto Ricans all roll together.
