Watch it breh as people are getting shot and killed here like crazy.
I'm already knowing bro. I'm from the hood so I have a general sense of danger & where I should/shouldn't be. Since you from the M, can you recommend the best BBQ/chicken spots? And any strip clubs, regular clubs, bars, lounges to hang out?

In reference to the bold, that describes Baltimore to a T as well. Matter of fact, I’ve always thought of Memphis as a country, more Southern version of Baltimore.
YOOOOOO I fukk WITH MEMPHIS ON SOME OTHER shyt 
It ain't no Vegas or Miami, not even gonna front. Memphis is hood as hell. The best way I can describe it is a mid-South Jacksonville or if the west & south sides of Atlanta combined into their own city
THE FOOD MY nikka
Gus's, Gibson's Donuts, Central BBQ, BBQ Shop, Bryant's for breakfast, I think I seen somewhere that Memphis is one of the most obese cities in the country & it makes sense
I know this the only part y'all care about, the women
If you love black women, Memphis is HEAVEN ON EARF. Darkskin, brownskin, yellabones, as far as the eye can see
Idk how Memphis nikkas stay loyal, you see a bad sista then 5 minutes later you see another bad one. It's kinda like ATL in that aspect but the women are more country, and I love country hoes
Would I live there? I love the women & real estate is mad cheap, but it's cheap for a reason. Several times over the weekend I would be outside somewhere just chilling & hear a choppa going off in the distance. I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express in South Memphis & no one told me there was a body dropping out there everyday. There was hella yellow tape everywhere. I'd have to live way out of the way in Germantown somewhere, or import a Memphis wifey & visit her people a few times a year lol

Yurrrrrrrrrr
- Historical Black City. Home of one of the best southern rap scenes - Three 6 Mafia, Project Pat, Young Dolph (RIP), Young Gotti; Birth of Aretha Franklin, Glorilla, Morgan Freeman, Elvis Presley
National Civil Rights Museum
The museum sees itself as being located at the site of Dr. King’s assassination but dedicated to offering a look back at the wider scope of the Civil Rights Movement.
Blues Hall of Fame Museum
The Blues Foundation pays tribute to blues artists and music through awards and a hall of fame. I knew of a few artists and had heard a few blues songs from movies and television shows before visiting the Hall of Fame Museum.
Rock N Soul Museum
The museum is physically divided into four sections. You begin in a relatively open main area where the progression of Black life and music moves along the left wall and the progression of White life and music moves along the right wall. There’s information about the two forms of music but also a look back at how the consumption of music developed and was influenced by life in rural areas.
Memphis women not bad
COZY CORNER
Black-owned and operated, this legendary barbecue shop gets name dropped frequently by locals as the best in the city. Cozy Corner is known for their signature smoked cornish hen, but the rib tips are the shop’s underrated, secret weapon.
BEALE STREET
If you’re planning a trip to Memphis, a night on Beale Street is a requirement
Beale Street has always held a special connection with the city’s African-American community. Black musicians first started playing music here in the 1860s. In the 1870s, Beale Street was purchased by an African-American man by the name of Robert Church. That acquisition helped make Church the South’s first black millionaire.
Blues legend BB King also got his start playing gigs here – the B.B. is his name an evolution and reduction of his former nickname, the Beale Street Blues Boy.
The Pocket is a cozy place to stop by on a date night if the pairings of music, drink and low light ambiance sound like a good time.
