So, Uncle Luke of the infamous group "2 live crew"
is trending due to the the Fre@knik documentary being released on Hulu.
What was Fre@knik? Fre@knik was an annual spring break festival in
Atlanta, Georgia that started in 1983 as a small picnic near the Atlanta University Center. It
evolved into a large gathering of black college students celebrating black unity. Over the years,
Fre@knik became infamous for its wild parties and cultural impact, attracting attendees from
historically black
colleges and universities. The event faced criticism for lewd activities,
violence against women, and public safety concerns, leading to its decline and eventual
end by 1999. Despite attempts to revive it, official Fre@knik events ceased after
1999 until a themed concert in 2019. The documentary "Fre@knik: The Wildest Party
Never Told," executive produced by Uncle Luke, Jermaine Dupri and 21 Savage, explores the
cultural significance of the infamous event, focusing on its impact on
Atlanta
and black culture. The film features commentary from various
personalities like 21 Savage, Lil Jon, Killer Mike, and former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
It delves into the highs and lows of Fre@knik, showcasing both the celebratory aspects
and the darker sides of the event. The documentary highlights how Fre@knik became
a transformative moment in cultural history, solidifying its place as a legendary party that
left a lasting imprint on black culture. Uncle Luke, also known as Luther Campbell
, or as
I like to call him, one of the founding fathers of Black American degeneracy although his mother was
from the Bahamas and his father was from Jamaica, played a significant role in the history
of Fre@knik. He was a prominent figure in the music scene and a key player in
the rise and fall of Fre@knik. Uncle Luke's involvement in the event and
his contributions to its cultural impact are highlighted in various discussions and
documentaries, showcasing his influence on the music and pa
rty scene during that era.
The documentary delves into Uncle Luke's involvement and sheds light on how he helped
shape the legacy of Fre@knik, and by legacy, I mean, how he destroyed a wholesome
gathering of Black college students. What is the internet saying about the
documentary? Well, let's take a look. So basically Fre@knik started as a picnic
created by some wholesome HBCU students, and Uncle Luke ruined it by bringing
all that legit fre@k ish to the scene. Uncle Luke who is of Bahami
an-Jamaican ancestry
is responsible for turning Fre@knik that started in 1983; which was a nice, peaceful,
innocent Greek party in the park into a dark and dangerous fre@k party in 1994!
Seeing my church deacon on the Fre@knik video. Ah, so Fre@knik went down hill after over-age,
non-college ninjas showed up and started harassing the girls.
Tracks. I’m halfway through Fre@knik before
all the craziness happen. Anyhow, as I always say, Gen X hands down had
the most beautiful, Black people. Y
our Mama and Aunties with the
seated sigh of relief after not seeing themselves in that Fre@knik doc.
Mothers, fathers, aunts, and uncles taking victory laps in the living room after not
seeing themselves in the Fre@knik doc. I asked my mom if she in the
fre@knik documentary, she 'gon say “what year they pulled it from?” um, EXCUSE ME?
It was originally just supposed to be a picnic. Not Uncle Luke contributing to turning
Fre@knik into the predatory nightmare that it became known for its fina
l years.
This Fre@knik documentary 'bout to either break up some families, or it’s going to open the door
for healing. May the odds be ever in your favor. Cartoon Network owned the trademark
for Fre@knik? That’s so interesting. So what I’m getting from this documentary
about Fre@knik and its downfall is, Uncle Luke kicked off the deviancy and non-college
ninjas took it to whole 'nother effing extreme? I really hope this woman has healed from such a
scary experience. I commend her for being
able to speak on that situation, especially publicly.
So I watched the Fre@knik doc. Unpopular opinion in 3…2…1…
Luke was a major (but not sole) contributor that sabotaged Fre@knik. I’m
from Miama, and I stand behind what I said. Good night.
The Fre@knik documentary on Hulu was disappointing AF. They tried to
gaslight us for almost 2 hours into thinking it ended because quote-unquote "the white
man didn't wanna see black people happy." No, it effing ended because y'all couldn't stop taking
advantage of women and y'all acted a darn fool. Fre@knik: the wildest party never told.
I can’t say that it's a good documentary, but it was an interesting watch. It’s really
unfortunate how something so positive and fun turned into something so dark because ninjas
refused to keep their hands to themselves. Uncle Luke saw a wholesome picnic and was like.
Why they got 21 Savage in a documentary about Fre@knik? Girl, you ain’t even American!
So my take from the Fre@knik doc is that the rise and
fall of the event was much like Facebook.
It was started by college students at the AUC, expanded to other college students in the
US, then the ninjas who didn't know how to act started coming and killed the vibe.
This reminds me of the challenge about things black people were afraid to admit. Remember the
one about being afraid around hood people? Again, hood people in this context refers to
thugs and ratchets, not people who just happen to live in the hood. Remember when
y'all said that
was anti-Black and people who criticize hood people are whitewashed?
Well, this is what happens when there's no accountability. Good people lose out. Continue
to protect those who destroy our community. Anyway...
Let me know what you think about Fre@knik, and if you've seen the documentary, what did you take
