Memphis on the internet.
The Rivalry
Memphis Reddit users examined the old rivalry between Memphis and Nashville last week. The debate was sparked by a Lonely Planet story earlier this year that pitted the cities against each other on music and food. Neither won. Neither really won in the Reddit comments either.
“The rivalry is stupid,” wrote u/RedWhiteAndJew.
“People in Nashville are just as tired of the Republican fuckery in this state,” wrote u/Educational_Cattle10.
“The rivalry is completely a Memphis thing,” wrote u/StreetAvenue. “Folks in Nashville don’t give a shit.”
Pigman
Redditors also remembered the Pigman, a Memphis urban legend.
“He was reputed to be a man with the face like a pig due to an industrial accident,” wrote u/Absotivly_Posolutly. “He lived under a bridge in Millington around Shakerag. You were supposed to be able to drive out to the bridge at night with your headlights out and flash them three times to summon the Pigman.”
NLE’s Clone
NLE Choppa goofed on YouTube recently with a video of him receiving a clone of himself from “the government.” The clone had copied NLE’s tattoos and speech mannerisms. But the rapper “broke” the clone in a dance off, finishing him with the “infamous Memphis twerk-walk.”
