I'm guessing NYC is the only major city where folks on the outskirts know not to claim there from here. Cause Chicago, LA, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, etc all have this problem lmao no one from Westchester is saying they're from NYC unless they want to get roasted.
Nahhh DC nikkas are notorious for that territory trippin shyt too. So much so, some of them nikkas will always say some shyt in their social media bios like “From DC…
NOT ‘DMV’”, “#DCorNothing”, “Uptown/NE/Soufside…DMV is a sin”, “Real DC nikka! fukk a DMV”
They stay thinking MD and VA nikkas be claiming DC whenever we say “DMV” or whatever. I can’t speak for VA but MD nikkas don’t be claiming DC like that, at least not PG County lol. City nikkas stay being pressed thinking we be tryna claim DC or some hood in DC as if we don’t got hoods our damn selves or as if we’re supposed to be ashamed to live around Black wealth. Calling us Meezys and shyt, like damn moe why y’all hating?
Hell it ain’t even like we came up with that term, it was two DC natives on local radio who created the term back in the day
It’s funny too because PG and DC got a Kush & Kemet relationship and it’s always movement going on between the two and we both share the same damn culture, one’s just more generally suburban in appearance than the other
Hell with how much DC been gentrifying and all these city nikkas moving out here as a result, you would’ve thought they kill the rhetoric but old habits die hard with some of them lol. I got into an argument a few years ago with my ex (she’s from Soufeast) on Twitter during a usual DC vs. MD thread that happens on social media once every year and she was talking she’d move to VA before moving to MD blah blah blah….Fast forward, she’s now living in Capitol Heights here in PG
Most Black folks in MD and DC are way too prideful to up and move to VA, so I knew she was wellin during our old argument lol
But yeah tbh, a lot of us MD nikkas usually view DC the way 2Pac viewed New York. Basically “We
LOVE DC but
fukk DC”
