3006935, Random shouts out to your hometown in songs
Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Tue Jun-26-18 10:00 PM
Jus Lyke Compton came on my Spotify Daily Mix and of course Quik mentioned St. Louis. (314, 636!!)

He got it right with 'hot as a m#thaf#cka, hot enough to make 'ya cuss'.

But the line before I'm not so sure about, 'Movin on to St. Louis, where they country as f*ck. With gold teeth in they mouth, but they still know what's up'

I've heard of folks from E. St. Louis or maybe even Chicago thinking that folks from St. Louis were country but having lived there I don't quite see it.

When I lived in San Francisco, I sensed that some of the people I worked with thought I was a bit country, but I just took that as folks being from a 'real' city kind of being out of touch with 'flyover country'.

Outside perspective aside, do any of you double-take at the random comments artists mention about your hometown?
