The song is universal you replace Miami with any city and the song would still make sense.

While true, but Miami is more known for its club and nightlife more than LA or the Bay Area.

That might be true however if you were out in California and you heard the bay version or la version first you would have NO IDEA that song was orginally about Miami.

I can't think of a Chicago rap anthem like the new Jay-Z song for New York. That is one thing I'm jealous of about NYC is they always get songs anthems to their main city. And NYC even have the I love NY shirts.

I actually heard the LA trick song before Miami Trick lol

I just feel the song matches more with MIA than LA though.

You're not going to see that in Philly, either. Not a whole lot of Dominicans in the city. Jersey or Reading, yeah.

New York is the city, but plenty of songs have been made about or heavily reference L.A and Chicago. Two from Kanye and Lupe:
