while everything you're saying is correct, I've often felt like in cities that didn't have large black populations, the experience was little more authentic
Let me explain
So when I would be in places like Boston or Portland or in the Southwest like Phoenix, all of the black spots would really be filled with people who weren't chasing vanity, but more so the experience of enjoying themselves
Especially in Boston. Like, the jazz clubs didn't convert at 11pm to hip hop clubs. People went to authentic spots for a single purpose. The live music wasn't cringe worthy. Everything was authentic.
Even in Chicago where theres a large black population, I felt like it was either the weather or the density of the city that weeded out a lot of bullshyt that you see in ATL Houston or Miami.
Even in DC the black nightlife scene is a little elitist but still somewhat accessible.
I enjoy ATL nightlife for its uniqueness and variety but to say that its the best, I'd have to argue...
Trust me guys..
It wasn't always like this
Sh1t changed in ATL
I first started partying in Atlanta in 98...and it was a great AFFORDABLE fun place to be at. .
None of this bottle service crap.. or having to be in a foreign whip to holler at women... And the only cats really wearing iced out jewelry were the out of town cats from NYC or the few random celeb rappers you would see at Lenox or an event..
Hell it was great for a REGULAR DUDE
And the women were REALER and ACCESIBLE
looked way more natural and we're hella nice cause they had that SOUTHERN GIRL charm..
Even if they were stripping in the club they still were cordial and went to church on Sunday
I remember the Cash money ruff Ryder tour came thru and going to at least 3 after parties where the cover charge at each venue was no more than 10 bucks...
All Star NBA weekend was great too.. I would see slot of my college friends and working class partners too
Birthday Bash Weekend was AMAZING.. I went to every one like it was HAJJ and never paid more than 60 bucks to see stars in their prime like Kanye.. Ludacris... The Game...Trina. .Usher... Jay Z. ..8 ball and MJG... T. I just to name a few..
It was like the Summerjam of the south
And this lasted for years...
Until the "HEN" came through laying them golden eggs as Pee wee Roscoe said...
The "hen aka BMF
2003-2004 shyt changed for ever
ATL was no longer the regular n1gga fun spot...
No more old school classic Chevy dunks or Olds 98s and Buicks like I had
YOU HAD TO BE IN A FORIEGN
and YOU HAD TO BE THROWING CASH AT THE STRIP CLUB
AND YOU HAD TO BE ABLE TO DO VIP or BOTTLE SERVICE with your PEOPLE
AND YOU HAD TO BE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY OR AFFILIATED WITH THE MUSIC GAME
if not YOU BETTER FAKE IT TILL U MAKE IT
THATS WHY THERE IS SO MUCH SCAMMING GOING ON
The day I saw a bad Bytch texting all her friends to send her $20 so she can get in the club was the day I stopped trying to impress these heauxs.
Being a broke boi sucks so much. My little 50k a year isn't nearly enough to allow me to live how I want to live. I bust my ass and still can't fukk most of the hoes I want, afford the cars I like, or live in the houses I fantasize about. Call me ungrateful, but I want... no, NEED it all. Money will buy me happiness. I don't care about any other human other than my immediate family and myself, of course...
hell fuggin yeah.... either in buckhead or old national... late 90s early 2000 were the shyt far as night life..... damn wtf happened... I dont even go out no more like that,,, just lounges or hit up a cigar spot and chill... hell even the strip club aint the same no more, all my spots are gone
Trust me guys..
