Hell nah lol. Im actually headed up there in 2 weeks, never enjoy it and I got plenty of boys in the AUC and a couple at GSU.

Just going to smoke tree, check in on my bros, and watch my little cousin ball out

Cali is the place to be. Born in OC. Went to high school in NC, lived in ATL for 3 years and moved back to Cali when I was 23.

CA>Everywhere

Sunny and beautiful weather all year long. There's everything you can possibly want to do within driving distance. Doesn't get humid in the summer.

Before ppl start saying earthquakes. Yeah we have them. But a "big one" hasn't occurred in over 10 yrs. when there is an earthquake, everyone carries on with their day. No harm done.
 
I didn't even know how lucky I was to be in Cali for this long until I travelled to other states. I embrace it now.

Here in Sacramento, it's rained maybe 10 days this whole winter? I've been wearing shorts and T shirts for the past couple of months.. Occasionally if it gets below 70 I'll throw a sweater on. SoCal is that stereotypical Cali type sunny and 75 all the time. NorCal is a bit less stereotypical, but were almost like a different state tbh. Complete different culture and mindset between NorCal and SoCal. SoCal seems nicer and just more laid back.
 
Big ******* Sur
:pimp:

NY > CALI

New York started ALL trends in hip hop culture.
The best rappers come from NY (TUPAC WAS BORN IN HARLEM)
The best basketball stars come from NY (MJ WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN)
The best Foods come from NY
The baddest women come from NY
NY is the fashion capitol of the WORLD
The only thing that Cali got on NY is the weather, but thats cus NY is getting globally warmed from all the street **** thats going on
But deadass tho, why would i want to live somewhere where its 80 degrees all the time? I can't wear my timbs in no 80 degree weather
Cali is like a dreamland where people go when they want to escape the harsh realities of NY. ****** be migrating once they get their wallet snatched by Dominguez from Dyckman
Anyone can survive in Cali, You gotta have rhinoceros skin to survive in NY
People get thrown in subway train tracks if you step on their timbs, B
Do cali ****** even wear timbs? We were Tims y'all wear Toms
The only other thing Cali got in NY is the legal weed, but that ***** up ****** hustle cus its stopping ****** from eating
NY is the best place on earth. If you can make it in NY you can make it anywhere
As far as illegal activity goes, 80s hustlers in Queens got way more money that Cali

- As a NY native its my responsibility to say the above statements, even though I don't agree with it all


But in all honesty, Cali seems great from the outside looking in. I would move there in a heartbeat. The culture seems cool, weather seems great. Cali is one of those places that IF i were to visit there, Id want to pack my bags (separate duffle bag for my Timbs of course) take my life and get on the first thing flying to LAX and live out there

NY is overrated, I never understood how that whole "if u can make it here u can make it anywhere" stuff came up, that place us full of opportunity, so if u CANT make it there, ur ******ed

It's much harder to make it in Detroit and other places with a bad economy as there are less opportunity and u really gotta be on it

And Detroit chicks are much slept on, but I'm absolutely fine with that, more bad ones for me
 
Not related to this thread but I never understood how can people bear living in cities like Seattle or Portland. They seem coo but it rains every other day, gets hella cold, which means depression is certain. This goes for England also. I could never live in those places mane.
 
Seattle got the best summers in the country. If your afraid of a little rain you still probably wet the bed
 
"Iggins thinking Cali just sun and B*****".

Cali aint always what it seems. I moved from Brooklyn, to Cleveland to Cali. I lived in Cali for nearly 5 years. It's hard to say I don't love Cali. But it's very easy to see why there are certain things that makes you not love and adore Cali also.

I lived in SF/Bay Area. I'll just give a quick run-down of pros/cons of my sentiments towards Cali (Northern), of course it's my opinion only.

Pros:

-Food
-Public transporation
-Views
-Trees
-Ocean
-Shopping
-Friendly, uplifting people.

right..?

Now the cons:

-Homeless people everywhere
-3 out of people 5 are on some type of drugs (Alcohol, pills, etc)
-Not too much variety of women (some may argue, but the big booties are slim to non-existent)
-Expensive living
-Barbers suck (literally took me 3 years to find a very good barber)
-Rainy, extremely foggy for 3-4 months out the year (this can become depressing)
-People are really easily influenced by whatever is "cool".
-Extremely thirsty and costly traffic laws
-Parking is horrible
-Lots of accidents
-Highest gas prices in country


I mean, I love Cali and I'll be moving back there eventually after I'm married because my family is there, but I can tell you right now, it's not what it's all cracked up to be. If you weren't born AND raised there, you'll end up loving it just as much as you hate it. And it's not like the music videos - unless you're living a rich, filthy lifestyle.
