Where can I find live hip-hop? (Or at least bars not filled with preppy white people) Just moved up here from the ATL, and I have no idea where to find the kind of nightlife to which I'm accustomed.
Just looking for bars/clubs where I could find some good live hip hop, or at least the kind of place where that's what they're playing on the stereo.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

The most popular local hip hop is gogo. There are a ton of venues that host shows. You can find some here: http://www.tmottgogo.com/ or by following bands/promoters on twitter. There are a ton of national hip hop shows around town that attract a diverse crowd. As far as bars, there are a plenty downtown, on u st, h st, and Georgia Ave with a mostly black crowd. A lot of the neighborhood bars are really mixed (DC Reynolds) If you haven't found one you're not looking hard.
