Have you been to Dallas lately??? I can assure you that all the culture there is to love about Houston, Dallas shares none of. I can't say that I know of any Dallas rappers, but a country accent surely doesn't equate to soul. I mean hell, Shreveport has the same annoying accent...
Its game time homeboy...
No I haven't. Haven't set foot in Dallas outside of DFW. If you don't know any Dallas rappers you aren't a rap fan at all. Black Dallasistes don't have a country accent in the sense of someone from Shreveport. You are not making yourself look any better here. Even Jacksonville has a soul.

Your first two sentences are the only ones that dont sound like a bad joke. I'm not a rap fan because I'm not familiar with whatever obscure rap scene that exists in Dallas??? Secondly, dude I just moved from Shreveport and the accent is exactly the same. Locals even refer to Shreveport as an extension of the Dallas metro area.
Oh and I've been to Jax. My wife and I love the beaches...but Soul? Identity? Uh no...
I wouldn't. Who knew someone could affect an entire state just by calling you out on your inaccuracies. More people should correct you just to see what else could happen.
I lived in Shreveport for a while after Katrina and to anyone who actually knows what they're talking about, Shreveporters sound exactly like Dallas natives.

Black Dallasites don't sound like blacks in Shreveport. And I know both.
Orlando has my vote. It is a city which has nothing unique. It's a manufactured environment which exists to plug the most banal forms of commercial tourism such as corporate theme parks or bland cookie cutter HUD-like suburbs. The city has a distinct lack of taste and culture. Young people dress in gaudy faux hip hop styles and talk in strange white suburban ebonics knock off language. The schools are horrible. The sports teams all suck too. The older folk are completely uncultured unwashed Floridian types who can't comprehend anything beyond the Floridian bubble. If they are transplants they are soon absorbed into the soulless culture-less quagmire that is Orlando.
God help you if you run into the wealthy "elite" in Orlando. Their lack of taste is only surpassed by the gaudiness of their gilded plywood walled McEstates.
If a radio station hundreds of miles away plays a dead, obscure, regional DJ's music, Dallas must have soul.
Sounds silly 2 you, but when the meaning "Soul" is so obscure and unsure, like in this thread, then what annie_himself said, doesn't seem so off. What is soul in the context of this thread?
