Not at all. 2004 I lived at Club Chocolate/NV. It'd be cliques from every side of town and folk getting crunk, but everyone turned around and got some twerk.
@Black Ops right... chocolate on Glenwood was the move back then💯 every club/party I went to I got at least 3 or 4 phone numbers and too many twerk/lap dances to remember... chick's danced like they life depended on it back then😂... see some of yall gottah remember.. well maybe you don't know cuz you weren't around then to experience or witness but crunk music started the whole twerk movement in and around Atlanta... Yin Yang.. lil John's salt shaker.. Ti's "Do it"... Roscoe Dash ... Waka Flaka "Round of Applause".... Cash Out "She Twerkin" ... and many others I can name but this comment getting long enough so I'll stop there 😂.... all those hits named were birthed during the crunk era in Atlanta with alot I didn't mention so that notion that "crunked killed girls dancing" is a flat out lie and slick hate... why do you think Atlanta got some of the best strippers the last decade in the country? What do you think they were dancing to and where most the music came from during the crunk era??
“Up all night rocking looking for another party , because they can’t face reality right now” sounds about right I enjoy hearing him say that because I feel like even at a young age I understood that living reckless and party party party party wasn’t what life was about at all there was literally a moment, or I actually had a literal aha moment and mini aha moments in the mist of partying with my friends, getting drunk and stuff like that and they would come at so many random times, but eventually they started to just all happened simultaneously. Every time I went out any time I got dressed up to go out to the club to do this or do that the more and more it got meaningless and overwhelming and I knew I was wasting precious moments and times in my life that was supposed to be better spent doing something with purpose and I also knew most importantly that that wasn’t what God intended for us to be in this life, but it was something and there are things way more beneficial than that lifestyle and the fact that us as “the” people we grow up around those type of things a lot escaping reality and not just in the party form just in other ways even folks with all the money or folks that have what is considered something in society you’re still chasing that high of something that drains and starves all your spirit energy and soul power, so just hearing him say that it was a jewel and a treasure all in itself
Man look Atlanta was the best-kept secret we were down here having the time of our lives in the 90’s. As much as I loved the freaknic era it was that and the Olympics that put Atlanta in the spotlight. People from all over started coming here they saw how black people were living well and partying like it was Vegas! Not to mention all the women! Puffy's punk ass came down here first and brought all the New York rappers then BMF happened in 2001and that's when it all went bad. In between that Katrina happened and that brought a big influx of New Orleans people.
Not just the gangs. City council changed a lot of local laws and ordinances. Bs legislation and a lot of clubs died. Once they lost buckhead club district... the ripple effect hit hard on all sides
Blame BMF for that. Shirley Franklin wasn’t playing! She changed liquor laws and everything else after the Wolf situation. There’s an Atlanta before and after BMF.
I’m not from Atlanta and I miss those times lol. I was late teens early 20’s when that music was coming out and it was good times. Seem like music topics ain’t even about nothing these days. Jewelry, girls and gang stuff lol
@@clarencedolan699 That height of Freaknik was almost 10 years before the BMF era. Think about how things were before after. It was two different worlds.
Even though I appreciate the interview with Sean Paul. When you going to interview Dewayne Hendrix talk about the missing and murdered children Atlanta state that y'all claim y'all love so much.
I think I grew up in the last generation where it was more hood vs hood than gangs in Atl. Pittsburgh and Mechanicsville didn’t used to get along but we stuck together against anybody else.
Boyyyy me and cousins on bouldercrest use to be so fun ,my momma use stay kirkwood ,all I knew at the time was candler road walking to Piccadilly with momma 🔥🔥
The great migration to Atlanta stopped the party as well! There is now a bunch of new people (from other states and foreigners) in the city from everywhere!
I could be wrong, but this is what I heard. So I’m not from Atlanta Georgia, but I was born and raised in Georgia. A small town close by Macon Georgia. What I was told, was what ended up happening with Macon and Atlanta becoming as violent as they are is when people from other states started moving there. People from up north specifically New York and New Jersey places like that. But also people from Florida. I heard this from an old head years ago. The conversation was originally about Macon, but he said that it’s also the case with Atlanta. Again, I’m from a small town in Georgia so we don’t have violence like that. We rarely have a murder. Hell we used to keep our doors unlocked at night until the last few years or so. Yes, we do have the same issues as other places: drug dealers, fights, break-ins, theft.
Being a Hip-Hop artist isn't dangerous. J. Cole rides around on a bike by himself. Do you really think Kendrick or Drake are in fear of their lives because of rap? If you choose to stay in the streets, glorify the streets or conduct business in the streets YOU'RE putting YOURSELF at risk. That has nothing to do with the label or music industry. Ppl beef all the time and it's not being instigated by people at the top. At some point self accountability has to come into play. Gangs (Tribes) and beef were in our communities before rap. Even African tribes had beef with each other before white people existed on this planet. They even helped slave traders capture people from rival tribes. All this is nothing new just another way of doing it. This isn't about Hip-Hop, it's about man's natural proclivity for violence.
P do u remember performing at NC State in Raleigh NC and the broad was tripping on y'all over a fish plate? I was there straight from Ben Hill...funny as shit...also back in 99 them folk was hating on da Souf... first college party I went to they booed Master P bout it bout it and then rocked out on that Time for the percolator
Ive said and ill say again.... The last thing we needed to happen....was Gang Culture getting to the Sothern Cities..... yea there was small fragments in 80s...90s.... but never to the point where is equated gangs and southern teens But now through the music..... Gang Culture has reached the South.... The reason them ngs in St Louis.....Memphis....Chicago,,,,,,, go so hard.... is cause...thats that Mississippi Blood.....
There was a lot of gangs in Memphis in the 90s. I was shocked when I went there and they had GDs, VLs, Bloods & Crips. At least Chicago doesn't have L.A. gangs and L.A. doesn't have Chicago gangs. All 4 in one city is a recipe for disaster. No wonder Memphis is so violent.
in thtoe ATL the gangs was your high school and nobody was dying just a fist fight everybody went home at the end of the night, but dudes running from trouble in there own city came to the ATL, a city to busy to hate and they brought that gangs s**t to the A and then all of a sudden ATL dude start just following like sucker and ruin a good thing friends become foe and death soon followed and killed off 2 generation and now we dealing with the offspring of a lost generation and it's to reach them, it's a 24 hr job and no one has 24 hr to put into it so thing are messed up fam damn peace
There’s a lot of money in dead rappers. Owning 360, name-image-likeness. Shit, they got Tupac halogram on tour and his face on t shirts at target. And his family won’t see a dime.
Born in 90' and grew up quick... I remember saying close to the same exact ish... i knew the world was in bad shape since 2008 & knew things werent never gonna be the same. I was just hoping I was gone be wrong about it...
We the best generation we grew up before the internet to livin in it…nowadays these ppl are weird they don’t know how to communicate because they always on they phones
@@LuccianoCityOfChamps exactly bro 💯💯 I miss them old days and wished my son could’ve experienced life when it was real and more traditional… too much evil in the world now. (There was some back then too, not as prevalent and in your face tho). Take care tho bro and stay safe in this crazy world.

As a kid I was motivated by the movie scarface like alot of people. But what we always fail to realize is that those type of movies it never ends well. " A young bull once said to an older bull was lets run down there and bone one of those cows. The old bull said " Let's walk down there and bone all those cows. I have learned that slow/ clean $ is better than fast/ dirty $
