Area codes in which rapper Ludacris claims to have hoes

Now this is what I call fun with maps:

In the tune Area Codes, rapper Ludacris brags about the area codes where he knows women whom he refers to as “hoes.”:

“I’ll jump off the G4, we can meet outside/So control your hormones and keep your drawers on/’Til I close the door and I’m jumping your bones/3-1-2’s, 3-1-3’s (oh), 2-1-5’s, 8-0-three’s (oh)/Read your horoscope and eat some horderves (sic)/Ten on pump one, these hoes is self serve/7-5-7, 4-1-0’s, my cell phone just overloads.”

Conclusions:
+ Ludacris heavily favors the East Coast to the West, save for Seattle, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Las Vegas.
+ Ludacris travels frequently along the Boswash corridor.
+ There is a ‘ho belt‘ phenomenon nearly synonymous with the ‘Bible Belt.’
+ Ludacris has hoes in the entire state of Maryland.
+ Ludacris has a disproportionate ho-zone in rural Nebraska. He might favor white women as much as he does black women, or perhaps, girls who farm.
+ Ludacris’s ideal ‘ho-highway’ would be I-95.
+ Ludacris has hoes in the Midway and Wake Islands. Only scientists are allowed to inhabit the Midway Islands, and only military personnel may inhabit the Wake Islands. Draw your own conclusion.

About Curzon

Lord George Nathaniel Curzon (1859 - 1925) entered the British House of Commons as a Conservative MP in 1886, where he served as undersecretary of India and Foreign Affairs. He was appointed Viceroy of India at the turn of the 20th century where he delineated the North West Frontier Province, ordered a military expedition to Tibet, and unsuccessfully tried to partition the province of Bengal during his six-year tenure. Curzon served as Leader of the House of Lords in Prime Minister Lloyd George's War Cabinet and became Foreign Secretary in January 1919, where his most famous act was the drawing of the Curzon Line between a new Polish state and Russia. His publications include Russia in Central Asia (1889) and Persia and the Persian Question (1892). In real life, "Curzon" is a US citizen from the East Coast who has been a financial analyst, freelance translator, and university professor; he is currently on assignment in Tokyo.

    North Omaha is a historically black community, and the birthplace of Malcom X [1]. My assumption is that he is referring to this neighborhood.

    Has anybody done something similar with Wilt Chamberlain’s areas of, um, personal activity?

  4. Michael says:

    Is he ex-military? Do those islands get USO tours (and does he do USO tours)?

    Hilarious and excellent visual diagram. This is why ComingAnarchy stays on my RSS

    Dag, you are making me laugh . . . that fool should wear a safety helmet in case he falls down while rapping about “hoes”.

  7. Jing says:

    This just highlights the endemic dysfunction of black masculinity in America. Instead of thinking of women as bitches and hoes, mainstream blacks would do better thinking of them as mothers and daughters, sisters and wives.

    When did you add comment moderation to your blog?

  9. Younghusband says:

    Jing, we have always had it, but for some reason your comments are getting grabbed by Akismet. Someone on some other blog must have submitted you and now we have to keep manually moderating your comments. Try using a different email address next time you comment. After an initial okay you will be able to automatically comment.

    Sir,

    Astonishing. Does this kind of individual have to make an appearance here? Never heard of him, and even better, never had to listen to his music. Is he one of the artists they force certain prisoners to listen to ?

    Nice map, btw.

    Ernst Jünger comes to mind, he wrote (summary translation): “We are astonished that Caligula was honoured as a god and forget how often comparable laurels are attributed in our day and age.” This was in the 1950s I think. Still valid today.

    As the originator noted, the song (which I have not heard) seems to have something in common with ‘I’ve Been Everywhere’ by Johnny Cash…. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/johnnycash/ivebeeneverywhere.html

    I hope you’ll expand that into a thesis… a theoretical framework concerning the geographical distribution of hoes. I will look forward to the book.

  14. Joe says:

    So what’s next… perhaps a map of the entire journey referenced in “Pimpin’ All Over The World?”

  15. Ben Reed says:

    I can’t believe you put this on your blog without attribution to http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/ – does this indicate that Kaplan has been replaced by Stephen Ambrose? Plagiarism is bad, kids.

    See first link: “Now this is what I call fun with maps”

    For the avoidance of doubt, post amended.
