No better anthem for a city in recent years than Empire state of mind. Dare i say greatest of all time. Jay-z Alicia keys. This had people that hated hip hop bobbing their heads. This song was top ten in cities outside america

Everybody & their mama in Texas & the whole South knows this song. Its an H-town anthem.
AHHH!!! I love that song!!!


Also, Electric City by the Black-eyed Peas makes me think of H-town sort of. I think the beat of the song is pretty appropriate for the overall pace of the city...

Well it came out in 1998 & was an instant club hit all over Texas & the South. It's still sets a dance floor on fire 12 years later that's how popular it was.

You must either A. not originally be from Texas or B. way too young/old to know any better.

Sorry, but no--I was born in Texas and in college in Texas in 1998. I also listen to rock, rap, hip-hop, etc., and I've never heard this song.

Roll around hit your block drunk gone or not
Let it up , let it pop like bump the whole block
Southside how we holdin all the gangsta's throwed
Music hittin so hard knockin outside mobile
Hit the highway cruse controll goin let it roll
Po Up the drink fired up shoin up in the glow

Pop trunk, let it down sho up in my ride

Why show when they can steal strippin wood grain grille
Run the light , shine'n bright , float a smooth as a kite

Where they at , where they at, 'for i pull out my gat
Looking good is understood flossin for my hood
taking pride in my ride like every player should

I don't see how Electric City sells Houston, they never mention Houston and that band has nothing to do with Houston.
