New York State? Ok, obviously the borders get stretched further and further as people want to be included in our inner-city enclave of "street cred." But anyway, shouldn't Rolling Stone just make a list of 40 most innovative producers rather than a lame top hits list?

officially? Does the city send you a certificate or something?

A person who takes up residence in NYC for 10 years or more is officially considered a New Yorker. There's a girl in my office from Texas who honestly believes she's a New Yorker because she's been living in the East Village for two years... Makes my cry laughing everytime she belts that one out. A New Yorker is also someone who was born in New York State, but I never give any props to those peeps. A True New Yorker is someone born and bred in NYC.

Dylan was born in Minnesota. John Lennon was a Liverpool boy. You weren't all wrong though, at least Lou Reed is a Brooklyn boy.

Is anyone who lives in New York City for any period of time now a "New Yorker?"
