@@stoneyhighhigh3677 Exactly!!!!! But this man is a legend for doing worse than these women have ever done. Apparently only men can exploit women sexually.
I was in college when it was strong in the ATL. A lot of my friends went. I didn't go because of hearing about all the sick shit going on and all the rape that was happening in front of people out in public. It was to animalistic and a disgrace to our people.
I remember one of my older cousins talking about going to this event. He said a lot of dudes committed SA and it was done to a lot of college women from the AUC allegedly. If true, maybe this documentary will spark some much need conversations about SA in the Black community and maybe even open the door to possibly getting some R-kits tested that were never tested. To each their own but during the pandi I listened to this guys music and to see Black people on tv screaming and applauding this just lets me know the BC is done. Just wow.
Tamron if you were at Temple U, you should know that the Greek Fest or Greek Picnic in Philly started all that wile'n out with our people. It originated with strictly black Greek-letter fraternities and sororities coming together for events, food, barbecue and later grew to all of the wild'n and chaos. Philly was flooded with black people coming from all over the country for a week in July (the wild'n out and partying edition was only for a day or two). What started as a celebration of black people coming together, years later it turned into complete chaos for that weekend of fun.......violence and SA's soon became very common. So, when ATL began their version (on steroids) of the same thing, I never thought once about going. I'm 100% for free speech, but the obscene and very explicit music played a huge part in the fast track of our decline as black people......which ultimately was the planned agenda.
Yep on point, them people running & in control of the industry knew exactly what they were doing. By all the applause & cheering I'm guessing folks still don't get it.
Me too😅....my mom wasn't having it! I used to be so irked and mad at her😅. Like mom whhyyyy I can't gooo! I was about 15 or 16 lol. What in the world was i thinking at that age!
I was a college student when Freaknik❤started, honored my parents’ wishes & didn’t go but I’m sure I’ll see someone I know in the documentary. I wish I’d gone,though🙂
😂I was there. I was one of the few that was in shock by what I was seeing. My family & I was looking to see if we could find my group in the documentary but thankfully we were dressed modestly & we didn't make the cut lol😅 we were just shopping, eating, enjoying the break, & looking❤ we had fun though
Why don't people give credit to the guys from Alexander City, Alabama. They owned a small music store that started the Lawsuit and helped Luke win that case.
Luke oversimplified the issues with censorship. Gangster rap, especially Ice T’s Cop Killer, had the US govt. on edge. Yes, much of what HipHop expressed were the crimes cops did to young black men. This was the 90s, drugs and violence were crippling black communities and cops targeted young black men, selling or not. Flashback to Rodney King. So the pushback from the streets was done lyrically. But it also glorified violence, drug trafficking, and misogyny. And when the music sharks-NOT BLACK OWNED- saw the money potential, they pounced. What started with more party songs and conscious rap turned into propagating violence, gang culture, violence against law enforcement. In Luke’s case it was mostly leveraging strip club music and culture that was initially underground or a subculture. Then as it hit parties, campuses, and eventually radio, it became mainstream. Fast forward a few years. The problem then was struggling artists got seduced by the money potential. They weren’t thinking and didn’t care about the consequences that come with distributing the messaging and the visuals. Once they signed those music contracts, in most cases it was out of their control cause they didn’t own the distribution channels. Tamron is a journalist so she knows there’s a deeper nuanced conversation to be had. Luke is smart. He knows too controversy sells. It’s called show BUSINESS for a reason. And when that much money is being made not just by the artist, but the true owners of the business game, they’ll fight Congress or whomever to keep it going.
People are confessing to crimes in songs and shouldn’t be excused of their confessions to crimes just because it’s in the form of music. It wouldn’t be excused in no other form…
That's still wrong cuz of the artist's artistic freedom of expression. Crimes shouldn't be excused, yes but self-defense and revenge in street justice should. A genre of music shouldn't implicate an artist of a crime they didn't commit but the racist justice system assumes. Use common sense. Y'all sound like clowns saying this
@@ShyheimMalachi you just sounded like a clown stating what you stated. If I murder someone and put it in a song assuming that I’ll never get caught just because I’m a quote rapper has absolutely nothing to do with racism. It’s called arrogance and a confession…
@@StopthePRESS537 black ppl are 50% exonerated more than any race statistically more for crimes they didn't commit and 7 times more convicted for crimes they haven't committed. Black men get longer jail/prison sentences for non violent crimes white ppl do so it's definitely racism. When death/black metal rock artists literally sing and growl about murder, rape, dismemberment, mutilation, and torture in their songs or when outlaw country music sings about gangs or cowboy bandits of violence or say they would murder, and yet the judicial and court system doesn't use them, especially like back then. U still sounded like a clown. Hip-hop is the only genre implicated in this for a reason dummy
Luke, although responsible elevating the "Freakiness" of Freaknik . . .Was also responsible for its demise in a lot of ways. He brought a level of debauchery to the event which eventually got out of hand, eventually causing it to turn sour. During the interviews people wanted to blame it on white people not wanting to see black people have a good time (comparing it to spring break in Daytona and other beach communities, which they claimed were never "censored") but I call bullshit on that . . .I lived in California near Chico State during that time period and parties were ramping up all over the nation, not just Atlanta. (Chico was named the #1 party school by Playboy magazine in 1987. During that time, they had something called "Pioneer Days" which ramped up over the course of 5-10 years, to the point where they simply had to shut it down because people were destroying property, rioting, raping women among other things . . .Halloween weekends were also degrading during that same time period) Eventually . . .Chico did the same thing as Atlanta did, re-routing people out of the downtown area and strongly discouraging people from out of town from visiting these events. Chico at that time was basically a white community, and they experienced the same pattern as Freaknik did. (It was simply the time period we were in, along with the music and the vibe having less boundaries causing large groups to get out of hand and forgot how to act accordingly.) Interestingly enough, 2Live Crew was being played all over the place and probably contributed to the same behavior most everywhere it was played. Life has and ebb and flow . . .When things get too far gone, something always happens to reign it in. It's simply how life works.
People are all excited about this documentary and Luke and Lil Jon calling it "black joy", there was nothing joyful about black women being fondled and raped in some cases at Freaknik. I am glad they shut this down, PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!!!
I went to Padre Island Freak Nik had no idea what where Oh lord I was with guys who protected me Nope she is not parttaking. It was funtime being with them.
well to be fair, the last Freaknik was in 1999. which would have put Usher at.......20ish? 21 maybe? Playing Devil's advocate. But im pretty sure the 16 and 17 year old Usher was in attendance too lol. On a smaller scale, my pops is frat and surely allowed/enabled me to attend many a function during years that i surely should not have been present lol. 🤐😛😂🤤
Damn Tamron Hall. I know you didn't write what you read, but I would like to believe that at least you of all people know about Watts Stacks? The real black version of Woodstock. Or maybe you dont?
Luke done put on weight. Back in the day, it was c-r-a-z-y. I got some pictures to tell the story. Tamon Hall can't show the story I know and Luke can't tell it. We had a ball.
Uncle Luke’s music had em running to the dance floor back in the day…
Let me see ya pop that thang 🗣️
The best to ever do it!
Facts!!! 😂
Don't stop Get It Get it!!!!

Uncle Luke is a legend❤
Y'all be having some weird legends. 🤨
Miami all day!!!
Meanwhile y'all say sexy red, cardi, Meg , city girls are the downfall of the community
@@stoneyhighhigh3677 Exactly!!!!! But this man is a legend for doing worse than these women have ever done. Apparently only men can exploit women sexually.

Your both right tho
I was their in 1994 in ATL. So many college students and it was fun. Uncle Luke a legend in Miami 🧡💚
He absolutely is. Florida as a whole I would say!
“ You like I’m just gonna admit now ”

I bet it was fun. LOL.
I was there in 94 too! Had no business being there because I was still in high school! But yeah!
94 was the 1st year I went to freaknik... Classic weekend!
I was there. Unbelievable. I'm now 55. 😂
Don’t stop get it get it 🤣🤣🤣
@@AT-zl6dkHaha 😭
I was just thinking the same thing.
Lawd, I am 47 and was stationed at NAS Atlanta. A time it was!😂😂😂😂😂
you see sexual violence?
After listening to 2 Live's first album I got hooked on their music back in 1986
Lil" Kim said it best in 96! If ya wanna cheap trick ......
Trick as in selling a**.. I had sense enough back then not to go anywhere with the word freak in it.
Betta go down to Freak Nik!
Hey, Biker Week in Myrtle Beach was off the chain too! OMG!But, Freaknik was ours!
Yeah and I live an hour away from Myrtle Beach
Gonna see alot of future doctors lawyers attorneys and all of them ladies back in the day I'll most definitely will be watching this 🔥💪💯
I was in college when it was strong in the ATL. A lot of my friends went. I didn't go because of hearing about all the sick shit going on and all the rape that was happening in front of people out in public. It was to animalistic and a disgrace to our people.
Yup one of my older cousins said there were allegedly a lot of SA's that happened at the FN events.
I absolutely loved this!
Now someone needs to find that Girls Gone Wild footage and really watch the panic set in. 😂😂😂

Or it’s just people reacting to a culture that overwhelmed them so they made lemonade from lemons. There are many ways to look at this.
I was a teen and wanting to go and my mom said girl no you not lol 😂 I heard they was doing the most lol 😂
Me too😅....my mom wasn't having it! I used to be so irked and mad at her😅. Like mom whhyyyy I can't gooo! I was about 15 or 16 lol. What in the world was i thinking at that age!
What a time to be alive! Freaknik is the wildest event I have been too 98 ❤
I'm not worried because I never attended Freaknik, but now Black Beach Weekend in Daytona Beach might be a different story😂😂😂
I went to Freaknik and it was-WILD !!! LOL. So glad there wasn't any social media around back then,what happens at Freaknik stays at Freaknik. LOL.
😂😂
@@kerry-j4m Thank you Lord🤣🤣🤣
Daytona was the prelude to Freaknik!!
