Lil John and the east side boys wouldnt be named that if they were from Houma instead of ATL.

How come Louisiana rappers don't call themselves "T Wayne," etc? that would be kinda cool.

In Louisiana you would be "little bird"

I got family there, but we never used the "T" moniker.

New Orleans isn't Cajun. We need a rapper from Erath to make it big.

Foreigners often have weird customs. They should assimilate and become Americans.

Yeah I know, but it seems like something that would catch on across ethnic lines. so it's just white people, then?
