Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told’ documentary Trailer (streaming on Hulu March 21, 2024)

Would've liked for them to go more in depth and expose the rapey nikkas that were harassing women who need to be recognized

Like how? That was a lot of men, who were they supposed to go in depth on? Why?…this wasn’t supposed to be a surviving Freaknik, it was a history of the festival. All the participants made it clear not all black men were like this or condoning that behavior, focusing on it more would’ve turned this into yet another exposé of how the black man = violent sexual predator, we good

Mfers wanted "Look at these nikkas actin' up!" instead of nuance of a situation.

It was tame, but i did like how the event OGs were interviewed & the footage of the early events

What would 21 Savage know about Freaknik? He moved to the US/ATL as a kid during the end stage

OUTKAST SAMPLER!!!!
That tape made it's way to NYC. My friend gave that to me to make a cassette dub


It was mentioned in a quick moment, but i wonder if they're going to make a spin off about Black Bike Week

Thought it was OK.

Definitely didnt expect to see anything wild.

My complaints:

• Felt very much like an ATL/South hype video.
• Certainly tried to spin this into some sort of empowerment thing (Black unity, Women's, etc.)

The Doc didn't even start becoming critical until the last 20 minutes, and of course it focused on the trope of "Black Male are sex crazed!"

 

[Big Boda]

I agree. However, this is what we got.

yeah whatever.. im sure there were execs at hulu worried about backlash from releasing a censored water down version of freaknik history but were reassured by others "hell if they complain we can just say their hornball pervs too eager to see nudity. its a win win. most of them wont unsubscribe from hulu" they depend on a segment of viewers like you excusing their false advertisement.

I see what you mean

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Like I said it was the old flabby nikkas back then 35-45yr old and done 50 year old nikkas that fukked it up with the sexual assaulting and predatory behavior

Like Facebook, it went downhill when it stopped being a college thing. Too many people that didn't know how to act around women
