I agree:

This accent


YouTube - RED NECK GAMES 2008 Dublin, GA

Vs.

This accent


YouTube - Vito From Jersey -- Americans traveling in Italy


I would say the Northern accent is much better.

what do you think? NYC is part of NYS. thats a pretty stupid question, to be honest.

i'm not confusing anything. i was trying to say that if you put a person from NYC in the west, the southwest, the southeast, the mid-etc. etc. that person will raise eyebrows when they speak.

its the same as a person from new orleans or boston or someplace speaking oustide of his/her state and/or region.


this section of CD represents a small fraction of ppl scattered throughout the u.s.

i think that the world has more of a say so than CD.

NYC in general is iconic. know about it.
And you guys have officially changed the state of FL to the 6th borough. We really appreciate that too. Driving is a breeze, everyone is so nice an patient, and it's soooo laid back down here now. We are so privileged and thankful.

You don't think it's similar to people creating fake accounts to make southern cities look bad? Personally, I really don't care which accent is better, I have no problems with girls......next subject plz

YouTube - Mia X Interview - thugplay.com

Houston women also have sexy accents:

YouTube - TroubleSum on Bush, McCain, Obama + the need for change
That girl does not speak in the typical Houston dialect. In fact she sounds more like someone who might be from the outskirts.

That's your opinion, its not to me, Mia X's voice was very annoying, I didn't hear an accent in the second one but her voice was nice.

I like Trina's accent.

True. She probably from the northside. However, she just talks more proper. Not all Houstonians sound the same.

By north side you mean like Spring/Atascocita right?

I was thinking she was probably from somewhere like Sugar Land or Pasadena.

So I guess this must just be on the internet huh? Because when I am up north and talking to real people, not online aliases , people always comment on my accent, and the girls always say its sexy. And to be honest I really dont have a GA accent, my moms from Philly and my pops from the Chi so my real accent is a mix of their accents. But when I go up north I flex or put on extra hard and put on a GA accent just because it gets me play. I go out of my way to say things like "right chere" or "shawty" knowing good and dang well I dont talk like that at the crib all because I know if I put on the GA accent its easy to get laid up top. All this online hate towards the south exists only online because when Im up in Philly, DC, Jersey City or NYC I get shown nothing but love.

Yeah call on NYCRicanpapi to back you up, your viewpoints are suspect anyway. After you said that people in NYC rock Enyce and Rocawear in 2009 I look at every thing you say like . When I go up to NYC to hit up Fulton Street in BK or SoHo to go shopping I dont see any stores selling that stuff and I see nobody wearing that stuff. And we stopped wearing Enyce and RW in the A waaay back in 2004-5, so Im pretty sure you all stopped rockin it before then
