I been to Atlanta last year and love it..dont care what nobody say
correction dumbass..... i dont care what anyone says! not NOBODY say. nice ghetto speak....lol
If you’re a hip hop idiot then yes, it makes perfect sense. If you want to become civilized then no.
I loved living in Atlanta from '96 to '98! I love the diversity and culture there.
Thanks for sharing this video.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Stay strong ATL ✊
Oh yeah!! Salute! #iShotcha
I was in Atlanta back in the 80's for about a year and a half. Have a lot of memories, some good some bad. It was 12 years after MLK's death and I had the pleasure of marching with Mrs King and a whole crowd of my beautiful brothers and sisters singing, "We shall Overcome"! Ironic how that song still resonate across the world!
Amo Atlanta. Viví cinco meses y nunca sentí temor por mi vida. La gente es muy agradable. Ayudadora y sencillamente me enamoré de la ciudad. Todos los días sollozo el haberme ido de ahí.
Se que voy a volver y eso me llena de esperanzas
I work for an ATL based business, and live in SC. Y'alls city man, the traffic alone is enough to keep me outta there. Awesome city though.
Man. My city. I been there for ten years. Norcross Is my hood. I miss ATL thank you for the video 😎
I'll say it it even if no one else does. First, great job on the video. I was ATL two days ago for a week and loved it. Me being from Flint, MI I went to Bankhead to get a feel for the community and I love the people as if they are my own family. Much love for Atlanta
I appreciate you seeing the value in the video...it's great that you can vouch as you visited it when you came down...thanks so much for the feedback! Our thoughts and support are with you and the city of Flint as well! #iShotcha
Dorian Willingham. MF'S from Flint and Detroit be all over Atlanta.
Great video, I'm from Atlanta. Lived on Chappell Rd & Bankhead Hwy. I graduated from BTW & also went to MBC. I truly enjoy these documentaries. If you would like to see some other parts of True Bankhead hit me up, I would like to show you my stomping grounds. Great video & Good job...ATL will always be Home for me.
Im from north carolina i support you man started from the bottom and made it
I miss my old neighborhood. 76-1996. Grew up on the East Point/College Park border. Virginia Avenue and Harrison Road. Eagan Park. Went back and few years ago. and with all the new homes. I don't even recognize it anymore. I do love living in Cleveland Ohio. Absolutely no traffic. Lol.
You told the truth brother
Your hospitality is A+ NO matter
If you were homeless or not
Much Love to you all
Including my ex husband
and family Wish I never left
had to leave cause of family
Issues Circumstances was
the case
I came to AtL by misatke, and ended up buying a home there, I so Love Atlanta cold and all
I miss the old school Atlanta back in the 90s during my childhood and teenage years. We have more soul till gentrification came watered down nearly half of the city but fortunately some of us are still maintaining and thriving though
Absolutely love Atlanta favorite place to visit...but when I heard about the Atlanta child murders it put a terrible feeling in my stomach...but black kids are still going missing everyday!
Im from Los Angeles and visited atl 4x this year so far. 1st thing driving around i realized it has alot black culture and history. Murals of black people on the walls of buildings, black colleges around downtown. There isnt much diversity in people which reflect the resturants. Traffic is bad, alot of forest n open space. Has a small town feel, not as big as people portray it on tv. Its very humid during the summer. However, the people are friendly and welcoming. Has a community feeling where one is willing to help the next. I love it
Truth and love. Our true freedoms!!
I am from Atl been there 34 years it’s my. Dirt I moved to Florida to get away from the traffic and cold winters I grew up on roswell road sandy springs
Dan Dicristina I grew up in sandy springs also.
Rich
Than you! You gave us good history and the real deal! God bless you brother.
This one of the best vids ever , and your own family be scared to claim where they originally came from
Good video man, Atlanta has alot to offer.
I appreciate the feedback...thanks so much for watching! #iShotcha
Way too much hip hop bullshit culture. MLK J would not be a fan of such nonsense, that I can promise.
What about Oglethorpe, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Decatur, Emory University, Druid Hills NE, Chamblee, Dunwoody, Buford Hwy, Norcross ????? All these places were there when I was growing up there- especially Fernbank Science Center & my school 'cross the street- Fernbank Elem. & DruidHills High? There are alot of places associated with Atlanta,Ga.
I love Atlanta
the people that live in Atlanta need to stop all of that senseless violence. It's ridiculous. Atlanta could be a great city, but when you need a gun that speaks volumes
Atlanta is a city in flux. New young money is coming in from the outside and changing neighborhoods. I suspect that within the next 10 years, a lot of these old hoods will transform into something unrecognizable. Best part of Atlanta is the low crime rate. You'll never hear about mass shootouts in the ATL. Great town with nice people. Very diverse.
I haven't had problems going to the bluffs. I'm a Korean dude that gets along with everyone there. Just don't get in anyone's bad side
Atlanta doesn’t have a low crime rate. Everything’s high including the std rate.
Atlanta was nice . It's the best city in america for blacks who want to be in business. But I fell in love with other countries and cities outside the u.s.
Nice hat, great video and definitely the best city in the world! 💯
Y'know Ol' boy is right. Being from the hood, you don't know you in the hood. Coming from being raise in Goulding "on the West Side of Pensacola" ever since i was a youngen, i always thought seeing all the negativity in the area was a normal part of life. But i didnt realize the harsh reality behind all that i've seen and done was nothing but a short entrance to the grave. Dang, life sure has its ways.
Atlanta has some great BBQ. I also heard a rumor that a giant astroid was headed to Atlanta. Couldn't happen to a more deserving city.
Living 14 years in Atlanta, love here but traffic. Still much better than other state, my friends said.
I am so glad to see a positive video of the A from someone actually from the A i LOVE ATL i miss the old A but change is inevitable ya welcome to come ya welcome to stay any disrespect an we'll make yo ass fly away #daDirrtysouth #FILA

I'm from Florida by way of Jamaica, been here 14 years & I love this city! It's all in how you move & the people you surround yourself with. I've met quite a few stars in the "hood"... I worked at Walters on Cleveland Ave...it seems Momma Dee, Wakka's Mother, Cash Out, Ti, Momma Cash, young Thug & his Lady love real soul food & I love SW Atl. Great video 😀...I've learned how to ride the train from Eastpoint to Doraville, the flea on Metropolitan 😀😁 I love 5 points & shopping at the Underground! #FILA

Just came across this video, Checking the content of threads pertaining to Atlanta. Breif but good video, most of Atlanta has been watered down, with the population growth exploding since, 1996, After then Mayor Bill Campbell declared Atlanta an " International City", During the time the Olympics were on the way. The hoods were being torn down to make way for financially stable people to "improve" the look of the city, with that, Atlanta started slowly loosing that authentic grit it once had. People truly from their knows it, The Mayor basically gentrified the metro area, Catering to a more desirable people to fill in what wasn't desired. I'm from the westside, My Grandmother lived next door to Wayne Williams, He went High School with one of my uncles. I was told he did not commit those heinous crimes, It was all set up. That situation goes real deep. You are correct, During that time, People in the neighborhood watched out for one another, their were watch signs in the areas that posed a lot of crime, which seem to be everywhere on the west side. But Atlanta now, is not a true Atlanta, An authentic Atlanta, Because of the growth, it brought more crime in, & less caring people. But if you are truly from Atlanta, you can tell whose from the eastside, westside, north & south side. Most of the soul of Atlanta has either left, died out or sold out. I miss the old school restaurants, like the one that was family owned across the street from hightower station😋., Only an old school head would know what I'm talking about, But it's always good to see videos like this, Oh yeah, The Underground isn't the same either, The reputation it had after it was done over, is basically ran down, or it's just me. Anyways, This is a some what a quick " hood recap ", ( I mean that in a good way).
Thanks so much for the feedback! This is exactly what we wanted to convey in the short amount of time we were given. We submitted this in a contest for Atlanta Film Festival's Short Clips. It had to be no longer than 5 minutes and represent something about Atlanta. We chose to do a short documentary on someone who was truly from the city. Salute! #iShotcha
i'm one of those implants to the area, but I understand. The same thing is happening up in Detroit where i'm from, they're starting to build new homes and neighborhoods where projects and century old neglected housing used to be.
Bro. We Probably Know Each Other ! The Atwaters and friends. Wayne Didn't Kill Those Children !!!
We as black people absolutely have to take a stand and stop letting white people invade our neighborhoods and take over and white wash out the culture. Atlanta is one of the few cities where Educated Black people with money, and Black entrepreneurs can stop the invasions, unlike other cities where white people basically gentrify an area, and the Blacks are too poor to do anything about it. Atlanta is starting to feel really watered down, but it's not too late to stop it. Right now it's kind re-adjusting to the changes.
Our money doesn't match that of white folks even at the top. Best thing to do when you know your area is going to be gentrified is to hold onto your property until it booms and generate new wealth from it to pass to your kids and that's the way to really catch up.
you can't mention Atlanta and not mention SUMMERHILL bankhead maybe more popular do to the fact most of the rappers come from that area and who not from Atlanta that's all they know so when people visit if they are a hood dweller 1st place they ask about is bankhead or the Lenox but all real atliens know the heart of Atlanta is that southern downtown wrap around from 4th ward Thomasville SUMMERHILL MECHANICSVILLE WEST END to THE BLUFF Outside of that next you got The WESTSIDE THE BLUFF to bankhead or The SWAT WEST END to CAMPBELTON RD then it's EAST SIDE Moreland ave to BOULDERCREST. If im lying correct the order

Derrick Hunter Summer Hill was actually worst or at least just as violent as the Bankhead Area back in the late 70s, especially 80s & early 90s..2000s was new era Summer Hill.
@@chaucerparks5941. Remember the Summerhill riots?
That pistol tells me a lot.
Open carries his pistol... :p Sig Sauer though, not bad choice..
They keep recommending Videos about Atlanta 🤷🏽♀️😂
Bankhead is a toilet. Buckhead is upscale.
hi Brandon casey and Brian Casey
Lived there.
Messed up cops, traffic that's unbearable.
Low wages.
Humid to the point of being nasty.
Patels all over the place.
Pass.
WTF???.....your gettos looks waaaay better than what I've seen......I've seen Farrrr Worst..... Believe Me....lol
Atl is blessed with better than most northern midwest cities. The hood here looks suburban compared to Detroit. But bad shit happens everywhere, no matter what city or hood you're in, so even though it don't look as bad as Detroit, I respect it
No I agree with you.... because I respect my city....that's why I came back and left ATL.....but I gotta say....I got a job with in a week there.... Here in Detroit they don't do that....they just talk about how they have a job.....I met cool dudes from there and hooked me up with a job...Two jobs...three jobs.....a beautiful young lady i worked with there warned me about going back but I didn't listen....I was home sick and the gays we're heavy down there...I've seen things there that I Never saw.....but the women I worked with treated me like a Star Celeberty.....

Atlanta is alright.....I've been there and live there for 3 years NiCCA.....and all that name shit you trying to blast on me .....😂😂😂......I'm not worried about that......you don't talk that shit to the white supremacists though....but y'all real tough on other niggas....why?.... because yall feel comfortable Fucking with your Own....so He'll yeah I'm a Fuck nigga.... because I's Likes to Fuck thee Ladies Bruh'....or as y'all say it there.....FOLK......

Great video
Barry AsILayDying McHugh thanks so much for your feedback
Buckhead is on it's way to becoming the next Bankhead. I wonder why it never works the other way around - where a dump hood like Bankhead turns into the next Buckhead.
Every major city is exactly like this.
Facts.
I thought the same when he was explaining why it was the best
You also can't talk about Atlanta without talking about homeless homeless people.
When THEY Took Prayer Out of The Public Schools, it Was Time to Get Strapped !
makes me want to move there
*ATL* my ass *Dude* sounds like he's from *(B-More)* Baltimore* .... *Real Talk* 😊
you can see where that guy dyed his beard and mustache
Good ass eyes
Grandma,s house was supposed to be a place u can always call home and go back to when your man beat that ass , but damn shelter here they come
ZONE6 STANDUP!!!!
5 points!!
Hell yeah Atlanta the greatest city on the planet. Watch our show Buckhead Manie on our channel!
Hey bro... I’m in the works of creating a documentary about the Old Atlanta. How can I get in contact with you?
ishotchamedia@gmail.com
You really think you need a gun in the car to ride around Bankhead?
Yeah. Anywhere in Atlanta. I don't know if you're from there or even from the south, Some people perceive Atlanta as a " Country Town", compared to larger cities, But , There's country everywhere, Good & bad everywhere, As far as " Bankhead", The street itself isn't all Bankhead, That's going into the Bluff, which is " Bankhead", You don't know what kind of situation you can find yourself in, You don't have to have heat, but it's safer & smarter to do so, Legally.
Hell yea niggas car jacking and robbing all day everyday I'm from Dayton, Ohio and we dnt play that shit but dwn there it's going dwn and yu will get yo issue if yu got that fire on yu, women an all can get it so shit ain't sweet
Yeah you better carry something in The Atl or you a fool. Atlanta is not what out of town ppl think it is
Adrien Gadson I'm from NY shit HAPPENS ✌️
Glad I did not grow up in the slums, "Hood", Shit Hole, etc. Thanks to my parents and what they taught us to make us WHO WE ARE, my kids avoided growing up in a shyt environment like this also.No excuses, do your job, raise those kids they way they should be raised which will reduce the disgrace that is being presented in this video.
So instead of being proud of being from the hood...go in that hood and change it. Channge the crime, fix it up, teach your men to stop destroying their neighborhoods, stay with their spouses and raise their children. Make an honest living and stop hiding behind the race card. -- a strong, black woman.
I mean have yall seen the projects in NYC? That's hood. Yall got houses yards driveways and that's the hood?
You have to carry your gun to feel safe in the best city? Someone is going to steal your gun from your car without a lockbox.
my fault I left out CLEVELAND AVE So in all actuality if go 4TH WARD THOMASVILLE SUMMERHILL MECHANICSVILLE LAKE WOOD CLEVELAND AVE WEST END TO THE BLUFF .
Derrick Hunter Thanks so much for the feedback and support!
That neighborhood is busted up with gangs.
It looks quiet lol it doesn't look divers to me
That shit don't look like a hood, it looks like rural backwoods Tennessee
Fix up the HOUSES....open up BUSINESSES....AFTER School and WEEKEND...COMMUNITY Centers.....hopefully all the stars he spoke of and more...will...REACH BACK 😢💔😢😩
GENTRIFICATION !
Why NOT go back and fix the area they grew up in???
FIRE SIGN exactly bc that’s approximately what I’m going to do w my own city. Ain’t no way I’m building up others before my own .
They are! Check bankhead on Zillow. All of the properties have been bought up.
Man they should invest into they're old area. Would be a great tax write off.
A lot of blacks own rental homes in black areas but some of them are slumlords.
Yeah. True. I've seen it.. North Tulsa Oklahoma.
Clean it up and rent it not gentrification

Damn dis accent sound more southern them memphis, ATL TOO HOOD
Being in the hood at one moment and being in a major part of the city in a few minutes is not unique to Atlanta. Most big cities are like this
Bruh I salute da video pimp... But ya can't say ATL without da EAST Side da BEAST Side ya digg... #Zone6 wea da real nigguhz dwell also apard uh da ATL.....
STOP.
EAST ATL hell yeah a whole Lotta dons,slimes, and savages round here nawwfr💯🐍🎱🔺🌎💵💸
sorry I don't miss ATL😏
MLK J would not approve of ATL’s lowbrow, gangster hip-hop culture. You guys are deluding yourselves if you think that shit is a sign of progress. To even talk about him with that crap playing in the background is offensive
I ain't living there. It looks like bait and switch to me.
BrandonSeattle thanks for your feedback and support
Wow, you must really hate the northern cities. What does it do for you to live under more billionaires there as opposed to any other city? Do they share the microsoft money with the greater population? Or do they just raise property values to crazy highs and make it to where a family making 100k per year is considered poverty?
Algonquin J Calhoun I was thinking of moving there but guess not after your colorful yet informative synopsis lol
@Algonquin J Calhoun. And by the way. Ted Turner sold his Atlanta assets and moved to Montana over 20 years ago.
Toussaint Louverture almost tricked me.
#NewSubscriber
Atlanta cant touch LA.....
But it's so dangerous. You guys brag about how the killings are cool and how it made you a better person. White people are scared of the blacks because of the culture. Look how insanely dangerous it is and you guys like it. Whites want no part of any one thing you have to offer. Way to easy to get killed.
Great Lakes Are you nuts? Listen to what he I saying. You have been in denial over this insane violent crap for so long you don't get it! This guy just said he "wouldn't change one part". It's yours, you made, you own it. It's all yours. No thanks to you and yours, and now I'm smh. Geezus H Christ!
+Sweet Cheekz Lol those are facts!
