    Joe Clair and Big Lez were so pivotal in my growth as a youth. They were so much appreciated and trust believe flowers are deserved for him and her. So good hearing Joe Clair again 💯💯💯

    Joe represents DC so well. It’s such a good balance of street and book smart which most youngins don’t realize is a major flex. His comedic timing is fire too. Always knows when to insert the joke. Great interview.

    Lemme tell you as a BMore native every single thing he said about Baltimore and DC is 100% true! LOL - I will say there are alot of pockets where we do come together but whenever its a cultural question - Go Go v Club Music, Ravens v Commander, O's v Nationals... for those area we don't cross lines. However, its nothing to find us hanging out in each other city.

    What’s crazy Joe isn’t lying about the DC-Baltimore thing…. I was in Job Corps in Port Deposit, Maryland in the mid 80’s and DC- Baltimore was different as hell from the music to style of dress…. DC cats love GoGo and AJ Jeans & Diadora tennis shoes- Baltimore cats loved that House/Club music & Russell Sweats & Avia tennis shoes….. The fights in Job Corps was crazy DC cats thought they were Sugar Ray always thinking they could box but them dude would jump you quick as hell…. Baltimore cats would was like wrestling dudes 😂Oh yeah the first time I heard “shorty” was from DC cats and B-More cats would say “Yo” which we called them Yo Boys😂

    Joe Claire was hilarious back when he done stand up in the Ibex in uptown N.W. DC,
    seen many GoGo musicians perform there my fav being BackYard! Cleezy was hilarious on ComicView, Def Comedy Jam as well as Rap City. Props on him reppin on Fox5!!
    This was back when BET HQ was in N.E. DC across from the USPS in Brentwood! He was spot abt Go Go music in Bmore definitely rare! There indeed wasn’t rappers in DC back then & do remember Joe Claire, Tigger & Dj Flexx on WPGC.
