Wasn't expecting anything too crazy since it was being produced for Hulu. I'm sure an uncut version will leak.

Taking another look, it seems the few instances of nudity were blurred out.
I was assuming they were doing to do like the Woodstock '99 doc and have uncensored nudity.
didn't see the woodstock one,but I'm guessing the style and type of dancing was slightly different...lol.
I could have sworn 98 was the last but it was mid. Or maybe 96 was the last good yearI graduated high school in '98 and moved to Atlanta. Cancelled it that year
Nah I went in 94 & 97. 97 was the final good year cause in 98 the dumb shit started
And I think Luke and Dupri gave this doc some grace to those chics that thought they’ll be exposed faces - showing pussy in the streets. Cause when I stayed at the Clariton of off Spring St. downtown I’ve seen niggas run Trains( not forced) in chics ..even offering me and my crew some when we were passing by.. talk bout SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
They should have spent more time on the early days of Freaknik instead of fast-forwarding to the 1990s.
Luke didn't have to take a shit on the young brother for buying the trademark and trying to bring it back with a different vibe but Luke is a one-dimensional person anyways, so it should be expected.
The coomer brain in me wanted to see some throwback Black titties and pussy but it was smart to blur faces, blur nudity and just keep it PG-13 (although the doc is actually rated R).
Also, in my opinion, it's a product of its time, it wouldn't work today, you niggas can talk about the all unforced trains that you want, you can't have that shit in a city that is basically the capital of Black America because it's a tragedy waiting to happen and it will fall on all of us.

Watered all the way down. Them mommies and aunties who were losing it about this only exposed themselves.
thanks...
If you're talking murder, I recall that only shooting happened like in 96. I remember cause my young dumb ass went with my girlfriend
Is it possible that earlier it was majority local folk, then it jumped off in the nineties when out of towners and rappers came down?
That's basically it.
Did she get trained?
Went 94, 95 and 96 and you are correct on that. We left early in 96 all 6 of us where in the Navy and didn't want to get caught in no BS.
It's an OKAY documentary, I certainly won't be keeping it on my Plex server but there is definitely a restrained feeling about it.
Because you're dealing with something that is a product of a different time and could NEVER work today and I believe that this documentary was originally much rawer and featured much more (uncensored) nudity and candid conversation but when women started voicing concerns, it probably got scaled back and cleaned up and became more of a celebration of Atlanta culture as a whole instead of the event itself.
When did the city crackdowns start? I remember at some point local law enforcement had started curfews and severely limiting what people could do.
96 was the start cause of the Olympics.
