The DMV is a super provincial place where everybody try to tell you where or where you not from when they are even more delusional and confused about where they even from.
People from Mo County and Northern VA tell everybody they from DC when they never had an address within the city lines of the District before they were 18 years old.
And if they are from DC, they are a super cac or cacminded Afric00n or Spanish person from some mayonnaise ass place in Northwest that is an extension of Bethesda.
Wale put DC on the map. He came up in the Go Go music scene in DC for God’s sake and actually lived in DC when it was the murder capital.
Although crime is rising today in DC, the gentrified cac colonized DC of today can’t hold a candle to the DC of the 80’s and early 90’s.
You never hear people from Oakland saying Pac, Spice 1 or Too $hort ain’t from there... and none of them were born and raised in Oakland. You don’t hear people from Compton saying Serena Williams ain’t from there even though she moved away as a kid. You don’t hear people saying Gang Starr wasn’t from Brooklyn or Kurupt not from L.A. Not to mention the countless rappers who claim Atlanta over the past 20+ years who ain’t born and raised in the A.
DC just a hater city. Anybody who hasn’t lived in DC or PG every second of they life, not “from” there and is a “bama”.
When nobody outside of the DC metro area claim DC anyway.
DC ain’t like NYC, Cali or ATL where people move there and try to claim it.
