The northern most southern city is beating the city that's at the most southern location in the USA! Classic!

that is a close one. good question. i will say DC.

you have a lot of dyed-in-the-wool southerners who move to DC to be involved with politics, or to take a federal job. i have literally never met anyone who moved to miami, for any reason at all.

nike boots, you may be right -- but northface is a west coast thing, and has been standard-issue for yuppie southerners for at least 15 years. northface seems popular all over the western world.

Dreds are more reflective of popular culture than southern culture. NY dudes rocked dreds way before it became trendy. Remember Busta and Das FX!

The pics of DC were awful comparisons to southern cities. LMAO.

Yea no bull someone needs to post some real pics.

Matta of fact here goes a video with pics, covers everything from glamorous to hood. Welcome to D.C.



and can't forget about Neighborhood Life by the infamous GoGo band UCB (includes more pics of D.C., but covers a few of the hoods in Uptown (NW), NE, Southside (SE), SW, and a hood in Forestville, MD.):

Stop it 5!.. lol

No but seriously, you might have had a few heads with dreads up there back then like you still can see people here and there with some up there, but its not or never really was a NY thing unless the person is jamaican/west indian or whatever. So lets not start the NY set the trend thing or was the first like yall NY'ers like to do.

edit: Oh my fault, you from DC ... LOL
