where the surf meets the turf. i will share with you a pet peeve. i don't like it when people refer to san diego by anything other than its proper spelt out full name. san diego. it's not enough for us to be america's finest city? we need to have a cool moniker too? we are not "daygo." we are definitely not "the san d." we export sun, that is all. we are not cool. we are lacking in culture, in hip hop, in many things. we have no rap stars coming out of here giving us "street cred." san diego is suburbia people. well, most of it anyway.



some cities have nice little nicknames. new york has the big apple, new yawk, zoo york, whatever. san franciso is frisco or the bay. san jose is man jose. detroit got "the D" from eminem and fifty cent (to my knowledge). san diego has yet to achieve that status. we don't need no stinking cool names for our city. the only one i'm okay with is "diego," as in "diego to the bay." but that's probably only because dr dre used it and anything dr dre says is immediately cool.



so, for the record, i live in san diego. and if you live here, you live in san diego. it is not "daygo" or "san d" or "ehgo" or anything stupid like that. use san diego, use SD, use diego (only if you are rapping along). but that is all. thanks for listening.
