DETROIT - THE MURDER CITY Documentary - Starring Seven the General

[tombstone9173]

Is it just me or does anyone else see interview after interview of the most dumb people you've ever heard speak into a microphone in this movie? No wonder Detroit fell apart if these are the people who ran things. There was hardly an insightful and intelligent comment save for the narrator of the film. LOL

[VADY2B]

lmao at the crack heads ignoring the police raid and still trying to buy some crack that's just sad

[whales]

Robbing Rosa Parks? Seriously?

[whales]

Detroit needs an Omar

[Danglesboy1]

and what i mean by pig is a crooked cop a lazy ass cop that doesn't like his or her job , or the badass with a badge but off duty wont so much as look at you dont get me wrong i respect the police but i cant stand those pig types

[Danglesboy1]

1:00:00 my true story i was about 15 years old livin the east side el centro ca . got up early to smoke a before going to school tolerable and i heard a honk so i look across the street to the coke n herion dude spots a sheriff vehicle stops im thinking oh shit dudes done . the dude comes out a couple seconds of talking see the exchange and the sheriff takes off what im saying is there are real true blue police officers and then there are the pigs every where. its nothing new

[dolamich]

all that access and no one invented true power. armories, factories, and control. dam ya'll let the wrong muthafuckas set ya'll up. Detroit could've been a African Connection, but because we loved to flash shyt gets lost in the wind. Its up to you kids to make the change. don't be shyt like this. Our elders have felled us. Now I see how all the black inventors died off in the early 1900's. they babies got drug out.

if you go to the church you will find out its not about money, but about life. we battle not flesh and blood but against principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness in high places. Detroit is , has been,and always will be battling against these forces.You go to church to win against these forces through Jesus Christ.

[WORLDWIDE187HUT]

how in the hell can some young niggas,barely in they 30's,speak on some shit that happened damn near 30 or more years ago?!?!?! these mf kill me with that shit.thats like a 60 yr old claimin he is a korean war vet...niggas used to get mopped up for speaking on too much shit(esp. shit they dont know about),these days its looked upon as a badge of honor.that shit is crazy to me,how all these rap gangsta niggas is TELLING EVERYTHING.mark azz niggas

[tooosweat]

@WORLDWIDE187HUT  Its called a Documentary and anybody that was born in the 70's or early early 80's witnessed, lived, or fell victim to the bullshit. The dudes in the video say they heard about what was going on.

[motorcty313]

what a place and i love it. always will

[Shonuffassassin]

Somebody needs to do a documentary on gentrification and how downtown Detroit is getting taking over. Before I75, Comerica Park, and Ford Field was built that area was a prime time spot for black folks. Its only a matter of time before the old Brewsters are knocked down and turned into a parking lot. Best real estate in the city right now is anything directly off Woodward from downtown to 8mile. WAKE UP PEOPLE before it's too late. Biggest gangsters in the D Mike Illidge and Dan Gilbert.

Detroit. Model Cities Program. Destroyed by the liberal utopian dream.

[terminuszone1]

Atlanta actually has the second biggest race riot in history behind the Watts riots- the early 1900's there close to 50 murders...just a couple more than Detroits

[ABSOLUT5000]

7-Mile 20/20, SMD, BK. I love my city

[primo3232cwb]

[PharoahsKingdom]

Good documentary. This should be a wake up call.

[1motsi2]

this my movie nicca lol wut up doe?

[mosesjeff81]

Crazy thing my friends think it,s coool that Detroit has the rep. that it does. Detoit is alright but you have to br from here to like it ! If your not from here it seems more fucked up then it really is !

[marloc187]

@mosesjeff81 the part about you gotta be from there to like it ain't true at all. I konw plenty of people who love Detroit and ain't lived there a day in they life. But the last part is true.

[blkaladdin]

Detroit's murder rate exploded in 1973

[cjtorrice]

It's never going to change until the people of Detroit change their philosophy and politics. Give guys like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Allen West a read, a listen, and a chance.

[TheZigzach]

I need subtitles

[MikeSears100]

The problem is to high taxes and to BIG government.

[shananagans5]

@MikeSears100 Exactly. Big government, social program after social program leading to high taxes destroyed Detroit starting with the Model Cities Program. What is really messed up is they keep asking for more & more of what is destroying them. People need to realize bigger gov & more welfare isn't the answer. That just turns you into beggars.

[QuitestBtheLivest]

When U growing up in the D, shits crazy but it don't faze U cuz its what U know, what U see and hear all the time. When U move out and see how other folks live...U like damn what the fuck wrong wit us.. 7 the General, this was hard 2 watch but the truth is what it is...

[lilpoppyflower]

Seven, that made me sad man, I dont like to think that people gotta be livin in fear of their life everyday for no reason. I do live in a country where people die everyday, but its not from anything like the people of Detroit are going through. Man , I really do live in the lucky country, I hope one day you get the chance to spend a week or more in Australia coz its just not like that. I hope it improves and gets better for all. much love xoxoxoxox

[MrMedicinebox]

The problem with Detroit is that there are too many white people. Not!

[Meta4XYZ]

Why the hell is the music so loud that I can't hear the interviewees? Who edited this?

[seventhegeneral]

[sbaker12]

@seventhegeneral damn this is some powerful shit man...well made documentary..what did you use to edit it? also curious how long it took you to compile all this vintage footage...the narrator is great..im from nyc and i can hear that midwestern in his accent really gives it that local authetic feel...keep up the good work man

[marailius]

[MacNifty]

documentaries like this are classic examples of strength in speech and with todays youtube "vision" included. It's shit like this. it has been messed up for a long damn time. hope and change bitch is bullshit. When you see that scene with all the "loans" store fronts. It's not different today with all the "cash for gold" shops. like Tappers who never had a store south of 14 mile in oakland now has a store in oakland mall. no Jewels no gold sale. Only take peoples prized precious metals.

[warren85slanger]

thanks 7!

[jdawg420247]

Dope shit I own this on DVD!
