[Professor K.]

Can you answer the other questions?
I asked.
As i never heard any grassroot talk.
or skill discussions culturally of any one you named.

This is a hiphop forum.
Can you show us rhe value culturally in hiphop of north carolina. Aa real talk. I never heard of anyone grassroots in the southern regions as these bboys or bgirls of any pillar like that.
Sohh i am realistically skeptical.

As i know who i am.
Sohh i am being gracious enough. To find out about areas. Where being honest. No top flight actualized skilled emcees have made note.
Nor have i heard of any bboys or bgirls of any pillar.
make note as well.
Sohh i am inquiring to know. In an effort.
to make my time in this region higher in quality.

MAVI is one of the hottest young underground MCs in that Earl Sweatshirt type lane. Niche market but if you wanna talk about real Hip-Hop shyt then he's making waves.

Richmond seemed really nice the one time I visited.

Also Raleigh ain’t bad lol. I just like Charlotte more. I only get up to Raleigh for work mostly so I’ll end up seeing different parts of it when I go. There was this really nice part of Raleigh that me and my co worker drove up on sadly after covering that mass shooting that happened in a nice neighborhood where I saw a ton on black folks. I was like I’d probably live out here if I lived in Raleigh. We went to that neighborhood then to a nice shopping area that was near there

Responding to the edit, just saw it:

That shooting happened over in East Raleigh, I'm not as familiar with that side of town. The neighborhood where the shooting happened is 28% black, so you're right, its plenty of us over there.

Raleigh is dope, I prefer it to Charlotte, though I got love for Charlotte, too. It's really cool living somewhere and watching it mature and grow up right in front of you...

look in North Charlotte, WT. Harris, University, Northlake Mall area.

East Charlotte is where all the Hispanic people live

West Charlotte is Black (Freedom, Beatties Ford, Tuck, West Blvd

Avoid anywhere where you would have to take Independence (east Charlotte)

South Charlotte is white

North Charlotte is Black ( probably don't look by 85 and sugar creek or graham)

I love Charlotte. Moved here from Detroit in 2013 and love it

Trip got extended so I had time to drive around and see more of the city. Pretty much used this post for a map and it was a perfect breakdown breh, feel like I got a lot better feel for Charlotte now.

Only thing it really seems to have in common with Atlanta is 285/485, but even that's not the same as the city doesn't really extend all the way out like it does in Atlanta. Otherwise, structurally/flow-wise, it's not like Atlanta at all. Oddly enough, it reminds me way more of Denver and Philly in different ways than it does Atlanta. Not saying it's a "little" version of those cities either, but the Atlanta comparison is solely geographical/population growth based.

Beautiful black women. Very slow paced. Job market seems kinda weak. Food is aight, nothing to write home about. This is all anecdotal evidence from visiting.

They call it "the next Atlanta" and I don't see that happening at all. It's too slow & the old money white people will fight tooth and nail to stop that from happening.

I give it about 5-7 more years especially once they reboot the transit system with the expansion of the light rail.

People don't realize that this growth is relatively new..really didn't start seeing the changes until the mid 2000s once they finished leveling the hoods around city center. Hell they're just now putting the finishing touches on West and North Charlotte (around N Tryon & Graham). That old white money isn't going to be keep the fences up for too long, it'll adopt a passive pose like it does in Atlanta until choice opportunity presents itself

Only similarity it has to Denver to me are the New Urbanist box apartment style that have been built in most cities over the past 15 years. Other than that, Denver is far more different from Charlotte than Atlanta is...

Never been to Philly though...

Yeah, those style apartments + grid system + flat(ter) landscape + flowing directly into these neighborhood pockets straight out of/in between downtown all visually/aesthetically remind me of Denver in snapshots. I haven't been to too many cities so there are probably closer parallels, but I do know it doesn't look like Atlanta

I can see Denver for sure not so much Philly, Philly and Chicago are very similar

One stretch of Charlotte vaguely reminded me of a part of west(?) Philly headed towards the suburbs. Not a one to one comparison at all, but my mind drew far more correlation than to anything Atlanta
