 I don't think its hip-hop Utopia,  but its pretty close to being the
hip-hop Mecca of the South.

People come from erewhere come to kick it/live in Houston,
becuz for the most part we don't hate...we innovate and
congradulate.

Master P lives in Houston but is from New Orleans,  Eightball &
MJG live in Houston but are from Memphis, and the list goes on.

Literally i havent been to too many other places that has as
many hip-hop related clubs with live performances that aint
overpriced  (Pheonix, Chocolatetown, Jamaica-Jamaica has been
open for 11 years, The Roxy, Riddims for the dancehall,
Carringtons, Coco Loco, Studio 44, just to name a few) were you
can take folks to have a good time.

plus,  H-town is the city of the vehicle fashion show,  we got the
carfreaks, hoppers, and the boppers 4REALª.
You'll some some shit you aint seen before i garawn-tee.
From candied 'Lacs on swangaz & vogyes to the foreign big-
bodies with 4 tv's in the headrests.

And pound fo pound,  the only place that I've seen as many fine
gals as here have been in Louisiana, Virginia, and Philadelphia.

Even the laws dont hate for the most part,  they're all getting
paid to be security for the events.  I've gone to a club and a law
walked up to the ride when we were smokin' & leanin' and gave
us a flyer for a pool party at some other spot the next day.

Plus,  Houston has the Kappa Beach Party and the Texas Freaknic
that was held last weekend.  I'm sure at least 25,000 people
were there.

Mane I hate I crashed the big purple trophy truck.
It used to be the boppa-stoppa.

Come down and see whut we all about!!
They don't call H-town 'The Space-City' fo nothin'!!!

Stay UP!!
