It's a false sense of superiority based on TRIBALISIM........and a cac named "wilie lynch" :mjpls:

Something I personally know well...because when i first moved down south ..I was guilty of this as well :snoop:

when i first visited the south 1990 nyc was still holding rank as the Mecca of hip hop...it was still the golden era

so i was the kid from the "east coast" with the new fly clothes and brands they never heard of..the music and artists they weren't hip to and the lingo

THIER WAS NO INTERNET BACK THEN.... :whoa:

so cats from other regions if they wanted to be on top of hip hop shyt..they had to fukk with a NYC "plug"

and i was that dude in school with the nyc radio tapes (flex, red alert, stretch, pete rock) and mixtapes (ron g, kid capri )

so i got Gassed up...

then on top of that...you got teachers and elders saying .."Wow..you speak sooo Proper..you ain't from here".... :ohhh:

then on top of that they (the schools in the south) were placing me on a higher reading level and advance classes just based on where i was from...

so i really got gassed up..along with the fact...girls BACK THEN was in love with the "boys from new york city" even though i was orignaly a jersey cat
:mjlol: but to THEM all of us were the same :manny:

so you couldn't tell me shyt......

until i got Knowledge of Self in 92 and realized how much alike we are as black folk where ever we at...

and that we all our fighting the same devil who don't give a fukk where a "n1gger" come from..we all were subhuman in the devil's eye

but i still had that "east coast" bias..thinking i was still advance based on alot of east coast propaganda at the time fed by the east coast west coast beef

all that changed in 97...when i dated a chick from georgia and her family showed me so much love we even traveled to NYC together cause she had family there as well....

i never forget we were on I 95 xmas eve...and she decides she wanted to listen to Tupac's MACHEVILLI album cause she was a big Pac fan as well as No limit and all things southern...

at first i was like :camby: cause i was straight east coast...if it wasn't produced by dj premier , pete rock or large pro and didn't come from the big apple

i was like NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!... :russ:

but that album and our convo on that trip CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR ME...it was soulful and introspective just like our trip...

i felt a common bond with a black woman whom just happend to be from a another region...next thing you know

i had to realize all the MAD LOVE i got from the south....invites to cookouts...people helping me with my car...teaching me practical skills to save me money and time
:ohlawd:

and i ingulfed myself into the culture....by going to down south car shows...beach parties...clubs ...listening to bounce music..miami booty music and dirty south and eventually trap..and i had a DAMN GOOD TIME :lawd:

partied my azz off in Florida....DUVAL STAND UP!!!! :salute:

and got "ENLIGHTENED" too.....first got indoctrined in Moorish Science here in georgia...met a deep Black Rosicrucian Cat who put me on a "higher plane" than most of what my masonic brothers at the time would ever see....went to charleston sc. ....savannah...beufort and the Gullah islands and discovered Geechie culture and our significance in the early building of this country...so much cultur here in the south!! :ohlawd:

but most importantly i realized how beautiful and fun it is to be black regardless where you reside.

as RAKIM ALLAH says..IT AIN'T WHERE U FROM..IT'S WHERE YOU "AT" (mentally) :manny:

so in laymens terms Black Folks whom fail to acknowledge the COMMON BOND we all share and stuck on these false superiority ideals

are just a bunch of LAME SELF HATING PORCH MONKEYS WHOM DON'T LIKE THEMSELVES AND FAIL TO SEE THE G.O.D (GOOD) IN ALL BLACK PEOPLE regardless of thier place of orgin.

I think it all depends on what the metric is for "better".

For some people a crowded bustling city, with option of public transit, living in a condo, ability to see the latest concert or sports team, and access to a higher paying job based on Cost of Living is "better".

To some people, being in a medium size town, with access to hunting, fishing, a single family home, a car, access to relatives, lower taxes, a decent job, and going to church Wednesday and Sunday is "better".

Every place has advantages, it just depends what you defining as "better".

This is coming from a guy that grew up in a town of 50,000 people, and we looked at people in smaller surrounding towns as country folk, but Raleigh and Virginia Beach were the closest big cities.

In college in North Carolina, alot of DMV guys would call folks or activities from the South Bama. It got me a lil perturbed, but then I just started calling them Bamas and laugh at their shock, like you just said they ain't shiit. A lot of those guys became my homeboys. Even my cousins from Philly would come down and complain about the lack of activities when we were growing up, but that just meant we spent many hours at grandmas house. They talk about it as special moments to this day.

It is what is. I wanted to move to NYC after undergrad. Cities are magnets, but smaller towns have value too, it just depends on what your metric is for "better".

It's not necessarily a black thing, but just northerners in general feel like they're better than southerners. As a Northerner myself whose lived in the South, to me the South was just real slow. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. I mean up north things move faster. We get the newest technology, latest fashions, app developers and businesses test their markets here, jobs pay more, people speak more proper English, and people from all over the world find their way to NYC, Philly, DC, etc. Outside of real estate and nicer weather, the South don't really got shyt on the North to be honest. The South is more traditional where as the North is always looking to improve and searching for the newest and latest thing.

Actually the south has the most rapidly growing immigrant populations in the US. Not only that, but markets like IT, Bio Sciences, Energy and finance prevail all over the south in cities like Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, and Charlotte. Furthermore, the South is the root of most popular genres of music. Rock, Funk, RnB, Blues, etc. Not only that but the South has cornered the market on Black fashion, style, dress, etc mainly influenced by Hip-Hops home base being moved down south. No one really emulates Northern fashion anymore than vice versa. Parts of The South are too warm anyway to emulate northern fashion trends. Outside of NYC, the South is on par with the north in terms of shopping whether luxury or other.

Yeah....I think the synergy of Northeast planning, which is densely populated, mixed use, and walkable themes have become not only normalized but desired in southern sprawled out places. It's to the point where economic development is racing towards building up downtowns, and for good, bad, or worse gentrifying the older, more traditional neighbourhoods in medium to large southern cities.

The Northeast Corridor, connected by Acela train from Boston to DC (one day Richmond, VA) is well known, but the Southern Piedmont Corridor, Atlanta to Raleigh (one day Richmond,VA) is starting to become acknowledged aa well. The main thing missing is a solid high speed train network and then that Southern sophisticated version of the East Coast will be even more pronounced.

Underrated thread IMHO, Whats Your Megapolitan/Megaregion/Megalopolis Looking Like??
