- Atlanta is one of the most culturally & historically rich cities in the United States. From it's impact on civil rights history to it's present day dominance over Hip Hop, Atlanta's influence is felt. In this episode of Streets by VICE, we'll be traveling along Ponce de Leon Ave. Although it's not that long of a street many Atlanta residents consider Ponce to be the heart of Atlanta. The street houses many of the city's most iconic landmarks, and passes alongside it's most notable neighborhoods. During our travels on Ponce we'll meet everyone from civil rights leader, to street artists, to councilman, to some of the most influential hip hop producers in the game, as they educate us about their Atlanta.

Just the way he said "Ponce de Leon" I know he is not from Atlanta.
PONCE duh la-on
Facts
Im not from atlanta but can pronounce the name
I can pronounce it but I'm not from Atlanta, I speak spanish
I say it like ponce-deh-leee-on
Everything changes at night, trust me on this one.
Hell yeah. Not from here, but this place is a living hell

@@FolkBoyify Atlanta is nice as fuck compared to where I live. I've been living in Camden NJ for over 30 years, it's like living in the middle east without the burkas
Yo! You nailed it 100%. Downtown is suits and ties by day, but if you plan to be out after dark, you better be on point.
DrPoetry1 lmao it’s not a living hell, but you gotta know where you walking at night.
Atlanta is really a...unique place. Being one of the only cities that has a large black/minority population of middle, upper middle suburbs like most white cities. It is also one of the most culturally diverse cities in America, It is a great place to grow up, being exposed to pretty much all walks of life in one general region: Rich, poor, white, black, latino, asian, jewish, islam, christianity, etc. You grow up with a pretty realistic look on the world here right off the bat..
The city is one of the biggest influences on music, sports, and the civil liberties we all enjoy and benefit from today all around America. The city is still growing to this day. Even though it is not perfect (like fucking Singapore or some shit) It is almost the polar opposite of what northern black cities like Detroit, which seems like it's forever deteriorating. Funny how the world works.The black cities in the "racist south" seem to be doing far better than the black cities in the "liberal north".
MIGOS YOUNG THUG AHHH
Yea when they call it a black city it's kind of inaccurate, just more like a stereotype. Im so grateful to have grown up around Atlanta because of how many different people I met. I moved to Greensboro (Idk if you know where that is) but people are different here and more close minded.
Don Antonio on top of that whites are moving in and blacks are moving out.
That’s cause there’s nothing for people to capitalize off of. Brooklyn is completely gentrified
True! I'm from Brooklyn NY and I just said that same shit to a co worker last week! I told him that the ancestors that stayed in the south left land and homes to their families. All we have is 20 fl. Projects and apartments! Wtf we suppose to leave our sons?! So yeah yr right. The south is a much better look!
Now I see why Atlanta has pocket areas. I've been here for some years and it still fascinates me how you can cross over a street and the energy is different.
Wym by that
Its on the 33rd parallel sp
I never realized that the name change in a street meant segregated streets. That is quite interesting.
I enlisted into the US ARMY from the old SEARS building, when it was the Army enlistment center
1971. As a kid, I used to ride my bike all over that area. I always felt safe back then. I lived off Courtney and Briarcliff, off Ponce De Leon.
I mean I always thought it was when the city or county changed.....
Me either. And I been living in Atlanta for 15 years.
Gerrymandering. It's called gerrymandering.
Remember metropolitan?
This is insanely beautiful documentary I’d love to sit down with that elderly lady just to hear the history she went through and give her a hug for what she went through
S/o out Atlanta much love from Los Angeles California.
Camp Phillips too many people are moving here from cali and driving the rent up to ridiculous prices
No don't be lol. Don't be salty Georgians are the nicest people. But honestly I have met so many people from San Francisco and LA who think that 2500 for rent is a great price so they pay it and then use Georgians get priced out of our houses because we are used to/can only afford half that. I was just being honest.
ratherbenapping 10 any stats to back that up?
ratherbenapping 10 people from GA move out West what's your point
Rene listen if you want to go get an education and get a high paying job you can get off of TH-cam and go do it. Hating success is the slowest way to progress. Why don't you try to learn something from those people like how they get their money? It ain't from talking shit that's for sure...and no one says 2500 is a great price. It's the landlord who raise the rent and where are they from? Ah yes Atlanta
Vice, thanks for a good showing of Atlanta. There is so much history in Atlanta I would love to see this expanded and shown as a full hour show on your cable station.
I love my city I'll never leave! Even when I travel I get home sick and start missing the skyline 🙌🏾😍 no greater city like the A Shawdy!
AMEN!
I'm an Aussie who lived in and around Atlanta from 94-2000. That city will always hold a special place in my heart and I still miss that skyline.
atlanta aint shit its a slave city
The GOAT lol
Atlanta is city where ISIS has recruiting terrorist for future attack in USA
The beauty of 4th Ward....getting robbed at gunpoint anytime of the day.
154914 1312 they gentrified it like that?
Yeah forgot to mention that part. 😂😂
I've been in Forth Ward for a long time I've never had that problem?
We still have healing to do as we lost our generation to the jungle life and have forgotten our ppl struggles , we got to eliminate our ppl who chose to be a problem to our community and protect our ppl who wanna see change
@@khensuahabuhetepre1372 mannn that its some much foolishness in that comment you made while trying to sound smart. No man left behind. You change their circumstances not leave them. I come from the jungle I was just blessed enough for someone to help change my circumstances so I never had to go back... Im Real Atlanta we go back when we got a man down.
It's so funny how they made gentrification sound so "nice" 😂
Right..
+J Briggs judging by that sarcastic comment you know exactly what it is. Google , Bing, & Yahoo are all free girl. I ain't ya school teacher.
+J Briggs "black people are useless without us" gaaaaag . Sis where
+J Briggs white people Not u do not make black areas nicer they make it whiter while they push out the people who have lived there for decades & they obviously want those homes bc they feel they are good enough for them but not good enough for black people and want to see them in "ghettos " so they can then complain blacks do not want to do better
A black man in Harlem told me that blacks bring a lot of this gentrification upon themselves.. they let those brownstone homes go to shit year after year then wonder why a white man can come buy those cheap, renovate, and turn around sell those for $1.2 mil!
If you know Spanish your brain tells you there's something wrong every time they say Ponce. Lmao
+Joey Laren if you're from England a 'ponce' is a gay person
Joey Laren sthu
This!!!
Spanish or from Florida, it’s pronounced Pon-say
I swear i learned the word in puerto rico
Stop going to Atlanta we full shawty
Everywhere is full. People need to stop fuckin
lol right!
same with bay area.
Thank u! Then they come here making traffic worse 😩 I be ready to hurt somebody on 75/85
I'm moving to atl soon 😭😁.
Misleading and incomplete because it did not mention GENTRIFICATION. That whole Boulevard, Ponce area is experiencing so much of it with a lot of the original inhabitants being FORCED out because of pricing.
2 yrs later, and the beltline forced everyone out. Ponce is like Buckhead #2 now.
It's by plan but we not showing progress and I know economic suppression has alot to do with ghettos remaining ghettos
@@williamwade4980 and why is that what you automatically think? not like it could be regular people working decent jobs but nah we bring drugs into it.
It makes me sad how much ATL is gentrifying. Housing is getting crazy expensive.
Yea if you live in Buckhead and Smyrna lol. It's like $650 for a 2 bedroom apartment, pretty average.
Where?! Not in Atlanta... Maybe $650 per person in a 3 bedroom apartment...
Ha.😂😂😂😂 Three bedroom house with a 1 bedroom apt attached, $450/mth. But then again I live in rural NC.
I pay $1200 for a 1br in Sandy Springs. Honestly that's on the low end too. Really nice apt go for like $1400.
Kristen thats 4 x the amount of my mortgage on a 3br 2bth brick home in sc.
I grew up in Atlanta, GA and I loved it! I remember when I was younger me and my cousin would go hunting for salamanders.
one of the best docs ive seen. Ive actually been thinking of going to Atlanta for college and this was that nug
So basically....... Rich People livin next to Poor People, is called DIVERSITY. LooooL!
gentrifaction
+MR. BSK man sf oakland... lol all fucked up. i cant afford to live in my own nmarea no more cuz all these fucking yuppies moving from out of state.
Apparently lol.
Yup... the Bluff backs up to the folks with bucks. People in the Bluff get shit on regularly.
My thought exactly.. I think it's called gentrification... hmmm
Atlanta is the best! Atlanta is home! I LOVE YOU ATLANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck ATL bitch
why did u get humiliated here?? if so, i can tell the wound is still fresh..lol
+TheCracka85 What's wrong with you? He loves his city, so what?
+Turkee S Africa is your home.
Africa is your home too!!!! its everyones home!
Forever I Love Atlanta
FILA❤️💎
FILA
That was a really good video. I'd love to see more from around Atlanta.
She has some serious history on those walls! Great video VICE! Makes me want to visit and learn more about Atlanta!
I love Atlanta. I went to college at Agnes Scott, so I lived there for years. My place was right of Ponce De Leon, not far from the house where the Moonies lived.
Vice I’ve seen several videos from you guys and it’s all been good! Great work on digging deep into the history of the city and on slavery in turn educates the viewer. Keep up the good work✊🏽!
This is some good history of Atlanta. I used to live off Courtney street, off Briarcliff, which intersects Ponce DeLeon. I would ride my bike all over Ponce. This was probably 1962 or 1963.
That moment you wear a dashiki and nobody else does...
That moment when you forgot to steam it! :(
You're CLEARLY blind 😂
The consious Community deep hur
Ponce is cool but peachtree got way more history
+Dan Devlin which one? there like 90 lol...
Jessika Cutts Strait up Peachtree. The one with Lenox on it
+Dan Devlin I was thinking the same thing. I guess they say Ponce as being more diverse, but Peachtree has way more history
Keef daThief but peachtree is real diverse too but ya i see that. mlk was big and he more affiliated with ponce
Thats was my first thought is why aren't you showing peachtree.
Claremont Lounge is iconic and essential. If you looked up its history and why most of their strippers are older you’d understand
0:10
Say it with me: "Pawnst-dah-Leon." We don't have a "Ponce-Daily-On" anywhere.
Lol, my dad is an Atlanta native and we got into an argument over the pronunciation of Ponce de Leon.
its actually pronounced Ponseh- deh- leh -on. Its a spanish name.
Did you even pronounce it correctly? 😭😭
Nah. Just pawnce hood. Otherwise Ponce. Only outsiders say the the rest of the name. Don’t make that mistake out there. It could cost you your life. Get robbed or played at the least.
@@acedueceable I lived in the area for awhile, said the full name, still alive
Atlanta is a cool city. I've driven through it countless times and I always love the opportunity to stop and enjoy the city when I can.
This is my favorite Vice show! Keep these coming!
Last 2 minutes gave me goose bumps. Thank you Vice for making me feel at home.
I love my city we need to get more exposure! Grady baby raised off Second Ave., Mark Trail Park, Decatur. West coast had Black Panthers, Atlanta had civil rights leaders!
S/O to all the fellow decatur babies!
I live off Tilson!
i lived off flat shoals when i stayed in dekalb county
Mark trail right by Mcnair n Gresham
@@jasonbourne-statham-vorhee9829 wesley chapel
I wish VICE would've went down Moreland Ave. Not just because it's the street I live on, but because of all the iconic places on or right off the street. From Little 5 Points and the East Atlanta Village, to the Starlight Drive-In and Fox Bros. BBQ. Hell, they could've even stopped by the Federal Prison lol. Either awesome video and awesome city.
Love little 5 I go there all the time. Crystal blue is a great shop
I thought that was Marlo from the Wire in the thumbnail
me 2 haha
+colenbrak LoL Michael Blackson is his real name
Streets by vice Baltimore next
they couldn't find someone actually from ATL? Nobody in Atlanta pronounces the street that way.
+colenbrak My name is my name.
Really love this series. Keep it going please!!
I can't front the 2 piece dashiki was cold
+miamiwax I'm saying! Need it in XXXL long. ; )
That's the single best comment I'll read today. I'm done.
Salute to everyone from Atlana. All races get along here pretty well!
Truly enjoyed this episode but I wish it was longer. Atlanta is so very culturely diversed
Great piece. More of this and thank you vice!
Zaytoven looks like Usher’s lil bro 😂
Wow! My friend stays in one of those $600,000 houses across the street from the projects, next door to the daycare center. Her home is gorgeous.
There definitely ain’t a single project near a 600,000 home
This whole Streets of series is fucking awesome! Great work.
Thank you for sharing this was so amazing
Mannn I been here All my life. The gentrification that happened here is CRAZY. Sometimes I can't recognize my own city. But it has it goods and bads at the sametime.
facts bro
I’ve lived here 21 years. Never heard someone actually pronounce Ponce de Leon like that. 😂
Then not from Georgia either so that doesn't count lol.
As a cultured white boy from Massachusetts, when I think of ATL, I think of straight up genuine flavor and one in a million artists that stay changing the game.
Living in Denver but used to live in peachtree corners/ norcross. Off Spaulding and Holcomb bridge. Atlanta is an amazing city!
I liked this report. Born and raised here and this city is full of good people of all colors. The history is something to be proud of.
I remember joining the Army in 1978, government put new recruits in the Claremont Hotel until there were enough to shuttle us to Ft Jackson...
First time in a strip club @ 17 because back then 18 was drinking age and they turned blind eye to underage patrons. In those days they really put on a strip show at the Clermont Lounge and last time I saw a naked woman for the next 6 months
I see so many places I know and even a friends apartment building! I miss Atlanta so much
what a tumultuous history, but what a beautiful place
Glad Vice came down to see us in the A..🙌
that's dwn!
Bruh, you went to the WORST strip club in the A
+Carlton Green Magic City
+Carlton Green Whaa? That's my favorite place. Had the best birthday there. It's more about the ambiance than the strippers. Def one of the best places to hang in Atlanta
Grandma's a LEGEND. What are you talking about?
Pink Pony lol
Magic City, Blue Flames, Follies sont mes strip clubs préférés hahahaa
Outstanding... proud to say I lived in atl 11 years...had the time of my life
4 years later and Ponce is so different now
This is really well done. The camera changes from vibrant colors to dull and drab ones from shot-to-shot but hey it is Atlanta ;D ;O *;D*
“If you come together on a common cause, you can be forceful..”
the end was very nicely cut
It’s so cool to see videos of your own states cities 🙌🏽
boycotts are the most affective way to protest.
No destroying ur own community and looting is the best
+Alan Bass kek
"Being a troll is really affective as well".
Preach it Akeem.
Facts!
I've been living my whole life in Atlanta up until now (just moved) and I just learned something I didn't know about my own city. Cool.
I go to that block a lot .. Great place.. good Doc to find things that are inside as a outsider!
I loved this video. Thank you for making it. I have always been attracted to Atlanta and finally had the chance to move here three years ago. Its incredibly diversity and the markings of it culture, historical depth and struggles make it a beautiful place.
Welcome my friend. I'm born and raised here for over 40yrs and love this city. It's crazy how much it's changed.
I'm 56 years of age and white this is part of my life and proud of it. I have lift East of ATL all my life.
No one in Atlanta pronounces Ponce correctly.
I love this show concept keep it alive
Educational and enlightening. Good reporting.
It is pronounced, "Ponce-DUH-LEE-on."
"Trap evolved from Crunk music....Crunk Evolved from early 90's Memphis rap...Memphis rap evolved from 80's Gangsta Hip-Hop" - Sci Flyy
Grew up in buckhead. Learned a lot about Atlanta I didn’t know. Great video
I love the backstory and to know organize noize has something on Netflix, bout to watch that now.. it’s sad to see that a lot of the technical work is left on the back burner.
Every time I think of Atlanta it brings a smile to my face; the food, the nightlife & the people. Sure, just like ever major city there's segregation however it's under the guise economic nowadays. The main difference I've discovered in Atlanta is the Natives vs Transplants.
Atlanta has become Black America's San Francisco!
tons of gays there, i had no idea. that surprised me since it's in the deep south.
That's a big thing to say
Most gays in Atlanta aren't from Atlanta
Yea since most came from San Francisco and other cities
Charlotte is like Atlanta but not gay lol
I love this series! More!
I love Mrs Abernathy. Our whole county needs a hug from her. Man I wish we could just love one another.
Vice came out with a good vid finally
Didn't know Dwayne Wade was a journalist too...
🤣🤣🤣 He does look like him!
keep em coming!
Fun to watch! Great job.
Its not diversity its called gentrification
truth
naw it's called whats tolerated
+Thejustin626 piece of shit talking in the suit and tie
+Thejustin626 Thanks.
The way he spoke about how "beautiful" it was that those wealthier folks chose to take advantage of a poorer neighbourhood really irked me.
+Thejustin626 It's called cleaning up a crime ridden shit hole.
I just about threw my damn phone when he interviewed Blondie...
😂😂😂😂😊
Thank-you for sharring your story,
Lol I realize we say atlanta like “Atlanna (THE RIGHT WAY TO SAY IT LMAO) everyone else say “Atlan-Tuh”
"I am not religious." 18:08
+ThoughtfulThug that's his permaface did u watch 2 minutes?
gro14 Kinda browsed through the video...
outkast goodie mob and killa mike hell yeah
I'm from Texas but I lived in StoneMountain outside of Atlanta in 90-93 and 96 I love the ATL and still do thinking about moving back
Great work!!
Martin Luther King JR would be appalled by the black lives matter movement of today.
I like how he says talks up trap "music", then says it was just beats made out of laziness in 5 mins. At least he is honest, suckers buy anything.
That's his lazy ass beats trap music serious business and the whole rap want this sound we lit
Gotta love Atlanta. Thats where I grew up👍. Ever one in America should learn from its history.
that was really amazing
🤣😂 he the only one in a dashiki got'em 😂🤣
Who else thinks that Blondie 12:20 speaks kinda like Jay Leno?
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Great work.
Thanks to this video I have learned nothing about Atlanta.
+Lucifer You learned not to go there.
"that was the first successful boycott that had ever taken place in our country." Ever heard of taxation without representation?
I like this series!!
I need to go to Atlanta!
