True but in the South, we don't start dying and declaring a state of emergency once the temperature goes above 89 degrees. Or when a Tornado Watch pops on the screen... We use to get those all the time in Memphis..

Not for nothin, ATL doesn't really count as the "south" to me. It is very similar to many big cities across the country. Richmond, Memphis, etc moreso give me the southern feel.

ATL just feels like a southern city with a lot of Northern transplants to me. I feel more like I'm in the South when I'm in ATL than Memphis for some reason.

You probably feel that way because of the Transplants. There were more people who I knew who WEREN'T from Atlanta when I lived there, then folks that were. If you get a lil ways outside of the city (or to the right parts of the city) there can be no doubt that Atlanta is a southern city - transplants are not.

The weather and the insects lets me know for sure ATL is all southern, lol! Plus, if you go to residental areas outside of the city, you'll see the southerness with the trees, growing fruit, etc.

He will go down as one of the worst rappers ever. I'm serious. I don't know how he's even made it this far. He has no rhyme skills, limited delivery, and lives off of hype - literally. He can't move units unless he's fighting with someone in the industry, and then - NOT even then. Dude is wack.

Nail on the head. Plus his voice is just monotone. Can you please show some inflection (sp) or emotion dude, please. His best song ever was Party in the Club that he did by himself. Everything else with just him went down hill. Wonder why he feels the need to always be beefing? That's what put the nail in the coffin for me.

Wonder why he feels the need to always be beefing? That's what put the nail in the coffin for me. He's trying to channel the late great Tupac Shakur...
...but it ain't working.
For one he is nowhere near the lyricist that Tupac was. He has nowhere near the delivery that Tupac had. And he has nowhere near the relevance and clarity that Tupac did. Tupac spoke about real life, not just gangsta talk. 50 just can't seem to communicate the same. I'm sure some of his songs are about real life, but they sound aritficial and crafted for a gangsta image. Tupac seemed genuine in everything he did, the good, the bad, the ugly. His passion was to his message not his image. You felt like you could at least relate to a part of his life. 50 Cents is caraciature. A cartoon. A minstrel. He entertains on occasion but nobody takes anything about him seriously.

And like you said, Tupac got classics after 10 years of his death that will still get a party jumping or have you nodding your head. 50 only has one, and it's really on relevant now if it's being played during someone's b-day (ain't gonna lie, will have it playing for mine) If I would equate any rapper today that is even remotely near to Tupac's work, it would be TI, but that's just me.

<----Was damn near 30 before she realized that restaurants like Houston's served UNsweetened tea because people actually drank it like that. I thought some just preferred artificial sweetener.
Winter is enough to keep me in the South forever. I don't see how y'all do it. I have to spend a lot of time in Chicago for work and that wind is some BOOLSHYT!!!!

You can keep all forms of frozen precipitation and all those daggone tolls you run into going North from VA on up. $7 to cross a daggone bridge in NY? Y'all can have that.
PS - Anything below 40 is frigging cold.

Neither one was a banner day for Black History Month.
