John Salley Names the Event That's Most Similar to Freaknik Today (Part 24) 

I remember I told my girlfriend I was going to visit my cousin in Atlanta and Freaknik just happened to be going on at the same time. "You went to Freaknik?" I got a earful when I returned 😆 🤣. I live in Canada it was great to be around that scene when Bass music was poppin because we hardly heard that music here at the club and it wasn't on the radios at all....for obvious reasons lol. Youngins missed out on that now defunct music era.

Atlanta is the strip club capital of the word, largely because of this time period

My brother. Thanks 1 down several to go.

What is BRT?

@@jacbauer2411 it's a Caribbean festival they be having in Jamaica & Atlantic city

Listen to his man..he knows what he talking about..Uber soca epic kills.

SCREEN SHOT!!👍🏽

​@@AliFrankTheTank yea

So why am I a virgin at 26?

LOL!!

@@ReallyGotMotion That's ok. Virgins are cool now. I'm not one tho.

💯

YUP

Word

Damn girls be fuckin on sight there or something ????😳

This the comment I was looking for. Bana went downhill a long time ago.

@@S1MONPHOEN1X Exactly. It got really wack when corporate sponsorship took over, and they started charging people to get into the parade route.

@@lethal5flow679 It was poppin in the late 90s til like the mid 00s. Clubs the weekend had some sold out venues with parties of like 3000+ people and lineups where you couldnt see the end. Nearly all of those places don't exist anymore and are condos. And the non black communities in the city whined about noise and crowds/traffic to the point that no outdoor events can go past 12am or risk massive fines for promoters. It's best if you combine a trip to Toronto Caribana with seeing your family that lives here. Otherwise dont waste your time/money. Best part of the weekend for me is the Sunday BBQ at my friends house.

Is it still lit? I was there in 2002 and it was out of control (the pope was in town)

Maybe even earlier since Fat Joe name dropped it on "We Thuggin" back in 2002

Fcts

That place is violent! Look at the uproar about all the stabbings this past weekend in London at notting hill.

😂

Real spill

This comment right here

😅

No, that’s Will Smith.

U clearly just said whatever without being informed. KMD wasn’t even the 5th to win one. Will Smith is the first.

that and all the down low mfs over there

Bingo ^

@@datniggaeazye.5968 YEP

Sooo many gays in atl ude think it was gay black capital of the world oh wait it is

You've never heard about Caribana??

@@general52 I haven't

On da seawall, folks from everywhere…

It's likely you're not from the Caribbean descent that's why you didn't hear of it.

Na we really be wining and liming. Not having sex in the streets. The focus isnt getting freaky

Nah I from New York and love the Labor Day parade, I also go to caribana every august in Toronto but I heard Trinidad 🇹🇹 carnival is the best.. definitely go next year

​@@JohnKing-jz9zb🇧🇷 carnival > all them other events

Definitely off the hook but can't compare to freaknik imo. I went to both at there highest point and nothing has compare before or after.

Or the essence in New Orleans.. caribana in Toronto is nothing like freanik

I was thinking the same thing. I saw that on the Dr.J docu "The Doctor is in" as well. Salley got that one wrong!

He clearly has not been to Trinidad Carnival 😂

Caribana is the closest thing to Freaknik???....I'm calling super duper cap on that one.

@@lethal5flow679 I’m too young to be able to compare, I was simply saying he’s right that Toronto carnival is lit still

@@ThirtyThreeHipHop I feel you but I think he was referring to North America

@@X45018 True. I haven't been in a loooonnnnngggg time. And I remember it to be more reserved. Definitely better than labor day in NY nonetheless.

Daytona was better, trust me

@@doncardi8699 Trust, I know. Black Beach was unreal...🔥🔥🔥

Daytona Black Bike week was wild, but it was nowhere close to Freaknik. Shutting down Daytona as opposed to Atl is not the same. Daytona is a strip, Atlanta is a whole city. Not close and I attended both. Matter of fact I was at the first DBB in 89, where like Freaknik was created for college kids but turned into something more.

@@clarencedolan699 Naw, depends on what you experienced. We use to leave Daytona and head to Freaknik. You forget beach attire, the beach. The parties were better and of course the performances

Caribana in Toronto is nothing like freanik.. matter fact is more like New York Labor Day parade

What a shame you missed freaknik for that and didn’t even end up in the nfl smh

​@@tilabryant5591 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Freaks everywhere

Caribana eventually surpassed Freaknik. As word got around Freaknik became a cesspool of horny animalistic men grabbing every female in sight often against their will. I remember me and my cuz and brother pulled like 6-8 guys off of these 2 girls at a gas station pump they were tearing their clothes off against their will and videotaping!! Looking back it coulda went real south for us if any of them were packing heat!.

I didn’t see anything on him being murder. One of his sons unfortunately drowned in Florida.

His son drowned in a fla retention pond after driving off road. Idk wtf john salley talking about
