The Official DC/Maryland/Virginia Area Thread

I was in New York and Although Go-Go (again like Reggae) did get a lot of love outside of DC nobody officially liked it. I remember I was in London and this half white Ghanian dude mentioned something about Chuck Brown I was taken aback. This dude I knew who was a Marine posted a video about one time he saw Junkyard in Japan.
Atlanta comes close but no city is as bougie as DC is.It’s like I be saying...Few cities in this country can touch DC when it comes to day parties and brunches, most especially during the summer
Baltimore is like Detroit All of it is on the come up. DC is insanely expensive now so DC nikkas are commuting. But If I had some real bread (I'd put it in stocks) but If I were gonna buy some land I'd buy in Anne Arundel County near Glen Burnie near the Marc and on the East side of Baltimore. I knew a chick who lived in York PA who's father developed vacants all over the east side.
As a New Yorker moving to DC the New York DC beef deserves a whole thread.Definitely. Many people don’t know that GoGo helped to contribute to the early development of Hip Hop when the art form was still in its infancy and even helped it transition into the new school version brought in by artists like Doug E. Fresh, Biz Markie, Run-DMC, Salt-n-Pepa, etc. Hell, New Jack Swing wouldn’t even exist if it wasn’t for GoGo either
It’s interesting that GoGo fell outta favor with a lotta New Yorkers as the 90’s approached. Prolly had something to do with the drug game going on and the heavy resistance coming outta DC and PG towards NYCers on that drug trade/street tip coming down trying to set up shop. Hence New Yorkers calling GoGo “jungle music” and DC nikkas calling Hip Hop “that New York bamma shyt”. That level of animosity turned NYCers off from fukking with GoGo and DMV folks from fukking with anything NYC (with exceptions such as Bad Boy and some of the 80’s veterans) for a hot minute.

When a deejay would viciously cut up Trouble Funk's "Pump Me Up" at a NYC or Philly park jam or club in the 80s, people didn't associate what was one of their favorite party tracks with DC GoGo. To many of us, It was all beats you heard as Hip Hop coming from the turntables and huge speakers.
Very few deejays could cut up Pump Me Up like DJ Cash Money.

Flipping. Have like 20k to play with, and access to a hard money lender.
That worked both ways, back in the days everyone thought that E.U. Played on Slave to the Rhythm
Turned out some white euro produced it. Maybe he heard the Go-Go beat back in the day or maybe it was a thing of great minds thinking alike.
being from DC there were tons of songs that people thought were Go-Go orignials that were "sampled" from other songs.

Wow bro, I just did a quick look in those areas and it's insane right now. Inventory is crazy low so prices are inflated. The only property I found for less $600K was this.

It's about $400K
There were a good bit of properties going for $800K so I'd hate to imagine what the fukk shyt in DC is selling for (good lord!!!)
A lot of joints would've been $400K at best last year. There was actually a bunch of fixer uppers in the $200K area last summer and my friend was trying to get me in on it.
I don't know what the fukk is going. Just keep checking. That shyt ain't normal

Bruh DC, Nova, MoCo, parts of PG and Annapolis are in a different universe when it comes to the cost of housing. Ten years ago you could find a good home on the southside for under $300K. Now.... Good Luck
You’re not sniffing a SFH for no less then $600K and it still might need to be fixed up

Funding For Southern Maryland Light Rail Project Passes In General Assembly
I’d say it’s about time
That stretch of Branch Ave got decent density to support a light rail. My thing is, are they gonna expand Branch Ave/301 an extra lane or two to accommodate the new train and to ease congestion during construction once this proposal officially gets the green light to get off the ground?

this joint changed the game for real....byb already had the streets and youth on lock this was pretty much the start of there takeover
Its funny when you talk to oldheads on both sides who where really on the scene in the game it was never that deep....the internet creates a whole narrative though
Hmm... It depends on how much someone wants to self snitch. But DC was the "murder Capital" at that time. They didn't count the literal teenagers and foreign flag teenagers who went down south and never made it back.
I don't know if you remember that Asian Immigration lawyer who disappeared in Dupont Circle and the obvious white guy who killed her tried to make it seem like a Black murder by throwing her ID in Anacostia Park and they dreged that dumping ground and found a bunch of random bodies.
I'll just say that when George Pelacononos started writing for The Wire People thought he was talking about DC and not Baltimore.
