I must agree with thinman. I’ve lived in DC for four years and grew up in Philly and I know nothing of Philly and DC hating each other. If Philly hates anyone, it’s New York and DC doesn’t have enough of its own identity to collectively hate anyone.

Nah, Philly don’t have no ill will toward D.C., just maybe NYC.
Chrissette Michelle is a local girl too.

I’ve been to Philly & D.C. but the first time I heard The Roots was in Boston when
?uestlove was judging the Berklee College of Music and Essence Magazine “Take Back The Music” Hip Hop Song Writing Contest.
He picked my boy ICEE JAKE and I’ve been a fan of “The Roots” ever since.
This new album RISING DOWN sounds great, I hope they come to the Columbus Ohio area it would be great to see them LIVE.
