Where would Black culture be without Atlanta?

[CodeBlaMeVi]

Sounds unfortunate. Ya'll really should fix that.

I don’t live in Atlanta.

Fashion is heavily influenced by where you live but the roots culture is all from the south. Now, you have big city offshoots but the oldest branches are southern.

I would say that's a product of aframs from all over, regionally speaking...not just NY or Boston

Blacks in Boston and NYC didn't start the Timbs? The starter jackets? The sneaker game? Baggy jeans? Army jackets? Fitteds?

Seems like people made practical clothing appealing.

nikkas had dreads in NY in the 90's since its heavy Carib influence here.

Dreads are still heavy in nyc just only in the Caribbean scene. Not so much in the American scene which also includes American carina

When I think of culure, I'm looking at the fashion, the attitudes, the swag of our people. Almost every area except the Northeast has been tagged with that "Bama" label because they were always playing catch up - which, in some ways, they still are. The NE, where I really only include Boston and NYC as the two cultural hubs and beacons, has guided the swag of black people the world over. From the US to Canada to countries in Europe or even Africa, the swag of our people bears the influence of that region.

Nyc yes Boston no. Nyc Jersey philly &dc is base of east coast style.

Hey if the shoe fits, the ad hominem is needed then. Especially when u got a nikka who resorts to poke at a nikkas grammar on a message board that is about sports, music, and fukkery

@bolded these r words, that nikkas who can't reply with anything good to comeback with say

*Incoming another post about my grammar, just so u can get the last word in. Plus u ain't got shyt else to poke at*:Mjparadise:

Curious, why are you keep citing Boston? Their black culture has a distinct West Indian flavor. When I think of northeast Afram culture, I think NYC, Philly, Jersey.

Boston typically doesn’t register so I’m interested in what you believe their contributions are? And not to say there isn’t, but most of all the native blacks that I know from there or surrounding suburbs, down to the Cape and MV are all well-to-do. But they are very assimilated so I never viewed the city as some bastion of black culture.

Wouldn't have fell off. ATL one of the reasons rap garbage nowadays.

You weren’t saying nothing cause the hip hop died thing has been said around multiple cities regions outside the south.

And I don’t think hip hop died either but I also understand weirdos like you as always talk nonsense.

But carry on and take nyc penis out your mouth which I know will be a very difficult task for you. But I’m here to help you!

In the 90s, Boston was just as influential as NYC. A lot of rappers in NYC took cues from how heads in Boston were dressing, to the point that dudes in Boston and NYC basically dress unlike black people in any other city. Boston was just as much of a hub for that crisp, athletic dope boy swag you saw in NYC. Right now, West Indians and Cape Verdeans are deep in the Bean, but it wasn't always like that. But even those cultures still, as you yourself noted, assimilated and followed the African American swag in the city. Before Run DMC was talking about Adidas, Boston heads were the first ones rocking that. New Balance started up here. There were gang fights between Boston and surrounding areas over Reebok and Adidas. All I'm saying is Boston was definitely a pioneer in fashion in the same way NYC was, and certainly more than Philly or Jersey.
