They just don't understand. It's amazing. I don't blame them, when you stay on SoBe all day, hell, you can even find Black folks on SoBe, especially during Memorial Day Weekend. SoBe has become more geared towards the "urban" crowd in the last 5yrs. So no excuses!!!

That's different. The Bible Belt deals with socially conservative evangelical Protestantism (mostly Southern Baptist) as opposed to the Mormon Belt of Utah. South Florida is primarily Catholic.

Not really regarding South Florida. Dallas does have more Catholics in raw numbers and percentages than Miami according to this link.
USA, Statistics by Diocese, by Catholic Population [Catholic-Hierarchy] But I understand your point on the Bible Belt and Mormon Belt.

Well, that's South Florida. You got the primarily Catholic Latino side, then you got the charasmatic, protestant, evangelical, Southern Black side. And then you got the inbetweens, like Catholic Black West-Indians and Protestant Black West Indians. Then you got the practitioners of Haitian Voodoo and the Latino practitioners of Santeria. Both religions use synchronization of their dieties with Catholic Saints. So you can have one who is a "Catholic" at mass, but then goes home and offers sacrifice to their deities and "St. so-and-so" who is actually an African deity or African god. South Florida in a nutshell.

They are Southern rappers with strong Southern drawls, and they hail from Miami's Black inner-city, in the Liberty City neighborhood in particular. This vid doesen't feature the artist that we're discussing, but it features the neighborhood they were raised in and gives you the feel of the neighborhood:

This is too easy Miami is definitely less southern. Miami is practically a CARRIBEAN melting pot. Where as in dallas southern bbq, fry catfish and George bush is very much alive. However dallas does have a large mexican community which gives it a little latin flavor.

Well...no.

Miami is less southern, but Dallas is practically devoid of Southern BBQ and fish frys.

Dallas also has a far larger Asian and foreign born African population.
