No.

I think London is dope. Hell, there are honestly only a couple of American cities that even hold a candle to it.

The class and quality of the place makes America look cheap in comparison.

Expensive though.

G no offense but you have never lived there. Going to somewhere as a tourist is an ENTIRELY different perspective.

You are just quoting travel brochure talk. You went there with money, you went to Marylebone, they oo'd and ahh'd your American accent and your swag and you made your mind up.
Work there, live there for years and then I'd love to hear your song.
You'll run back to the U.S with tears in your eyes.

You try living there for five years and I'll see you sing the same tune when you have to buy a rainjacket to prevent your custom suit from Saville Row from being destroyed by the incessant downpours. When you find out that there is hardly any sun and when you see the level of hater-ism in London.

I remember playing ball once, these guys both jumped this guy from NYC just because they were hating on America. The British culture is about hating.

For an interesting and accurate depiction of London, obtain and watch the two films called Kidulthood and Adulthood. It's based on the West London lifestyle (West London is the most affluent part of London, Madonna and Gillian Anderson have a house there and you will often see Hugh Grant milling around).
When you absorb that film, you will see what the deal is with London.
