But for everyone else looking for good drinks, good music and a good time, Houston can hold its own. If you're unaware of what goes down in Texas then you simply aren't in the know.
And even then, with clubs like Zanzibar, Club Riddims, etc., Houston holds its own, especially considering that its Caribbean population is smaller than Atlanta's. You have that Jamaican cooler party that occurs here.

No disrespect to Red John and Spade, but they don't live in Houston. I think Red John frequents Houston though.

as do I.

I said visit and/or party.


People from Atlanta come here for Drake Weekend just as Houston go to Atlanta for a special occasion. At the end of the day, people from Atlanta are still coming here to party and vice versa.

They get a couple of faux urban developments and think their New York City.

I know it's uncommon but certainly not unheard of. If Drake goes to Houston just for the nightlife I'm sure other people do as well.

Likewise, no one I know over here has ever gone to Atlanta just for the clubs. The destination cities out here are New Orleans, Miami and Los Angeles.

Well, he does visit, so he knows about the city.
