Where would Black culture be without Atlanta?

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.
Didn’t know that. Thanks for the drop.
Elaborate.

And the same way east coast nikkas look down on southern nikkas as bamas. Southern nikkas look down on Jamaicans and other foreign nikkas, or is we gon move the goal posts and pretend Florida nikkas ain't shyt on Haitians. Caribbean nikkas ain't influence American nikkas to wear no dreads.
It was still making NY nikkas money so I guess it's fine.

Atl has nothing to do with NYC rap falling off. NYC rap fell off because they went full
during the shiny suit era
and then ran out of new musical ideas by the late 90's/early 2000's
Dipset was making money well into the 2000's.Atl has nothing to do with NYC rap falling off. NYC rap fell off because they went full

Diplomatic Immunity 1 was classic NYC Hip Hop but most of the shyt they released after that was infused with Southern whatchumacallit.
