- Miami is best known for its luxury lifestyle, Latin-infused culture, and as a popular tourist destination. This four-part documentary series focuses on Miami's most notorious ghetto 'Liberty City,' documenting the struggles, the failures and the successes of Liberty City locals. Watch this raw, uncut four-part series that captures for you aspects of Liberty City life: how things go down in the hood, violent shootings, police corruption and the drug epidemic.
Director's Note:
My aim in producing this Documentary series is to give the people of Liberty City a voice.
Though currently known for its Bad and Ugly aspects, there is also much Good in Liberty City; and the words "Hope" and "Never Give Up" remain strong in each individual in the City.
3rd Episode:
We visit Poonsville and the historic Hampton House where Muhammad Ali, Aretha Franklin and other black celebrities and entertainers used to stay.

Who’s still watching this 10 years later?
One of the best budget documentations about Miami out there 👌
The more a person says "You know what I'm saying," the less I understand what he is saying.
you funny ass fuck you know that
LMAO. Agreed!!!
For real......lol
Hahahahhahahahahaag
Lol
Who else lives in suburbia and finds this so intriguing !
Me
The glorification they give about the struggle is crazy to me. They're not talking about how their trying to get out the struggle. Their talking about how they cheat, take, thug & steal to take care of themselves, their family, & their "circle". Even if someone decided to come through to help this community, they would be scared as hell to even help! Crabs in a barrel. Pulling each other down. Nice cars but house look like a trap, crack & shed houses. 26 inch rims, tvs, video games, & custom sits in your car can go towards a down payment on a house- OUT OF THE STRUGGLE! smh We gotta do better.
I wouldn't been seen dead in any of those ridiculous cars.
I'm probably the only one watching in 2019 but sis you speakin the truth. I'm a project baby but also first generation college grad. I was raised with this shit. Mama and daddy both r.i.p but they glorified this shit. I was different. I refuse to let my kids glorify this. I make it my business to continue to rise above my circumstances. I respect where I'm from but I also keep pushing forward for more. I choose to break the cycle of poverty. I'm from the mud but I will not stay in the mud you feel me.
@@daniellemiller2547It's an echo chamber of excuses and denial.
Less judging more actually teaching each other
@@daniellemiller2547 good for you Mrs.
I love hearing the old man at the end tell the story of the Hampton House. I looked it up and it was a beautiful place.
they knocked it down now rebuilt nice apartments
Miami quote of the day "You know what I'm saying"
Ya feel me???
🤣😂🤣
From the west coast L.A. north to Detroit down south by way of little rock to lousy Anna back up to new York closing it out in the 305 if "Ya don't know what I'm sayin" best come correct "Ya feel me"
Thanks for this docu series. I grew up in overtown in the 80's and I see the struggle continues.
One of the only things I don't like about the depiction of cities like Miami and others, is that they either show you the best parts... or the worst parts. When I tell people from Miami and what part I'm from they go straight to thinking I was raised in the projects. Like there isn't a middle class anywhere. But I guess that's the aim of the media.
Outside of Miami Gardens is there a black middle class neighborhood where it’s majority black and middle class or more income. Like Atlanta Charlotte desoto tx Charlotte Richmond PG county MD?
Dude lost me when he said, "I made a mistake and caught a murder case..." Yo wtf! thats not an "Ohh i made a mistake moment"
Much respect to you all
For supporting your families some straight laced men who consider themselves “professional” who don’t even do half as much as you guys! Much love ❤️
I lived in Allapattah, FL for years (right next to Liberty City) and I can say that the people in these neighborhoods have the most heart and are of better character than all of the other pretentious people who live in the better areas of Miami. God Bless them.
Stop cappin
ive been up and down 27th ave for years and always saw that building with the fence around it just before you crossed the 112. but i always thought it was a historic black church from those things on the front that looked like crosses. had no idea that it was the hampton house. now this makes me want to take my camera and go get some shots of it.
I will never understand why these people put so much into their vehicles and looking flashy..meanwhile..they're living in Section 8 housing, sleeping on someone's couch, don't have a job etc.. Like..who are you trying to impress?
So true!
LadyMsJay because its bigger then that the section 8 is a cover up to run the drug op and the hoods helps move the weight take it from a guy that grew up in all the hoods in fl ..from orlando to mia ...
Come up in an area like that it's all you know. Most young poor people who now have jobs that provide a decent income will spend most of their money on clothes and shoes and cars. They want to feel good about themselves and it's what they have seen on people that in their eyes were doing well.
They’re extremely egotistical and narcissistic
It's a culture I guess... Way of life living on the edge.... Defies logic and rationality to be exact...
is this david chapelle´s show?
Im curious. If i wanna sound gangster aprox. how long per day do i need to work on my intro? Is there a certain amount of number and name drops that must be surpassed?
Shanks please do a 10 year anniversary with all the people from this GREAT documentary
Lol at 24:50 the dude says “Muhammad Ali stayed there, when he was training to fight Cassius clay” that’s like Batman training to fight Bruce Wayne.
I believe its circumstantial. My father sold drugs & I have never done drugs, nor chose a path of life to pursue them in interest or by force. Every street hustler is not all bad; my father provided for us the best way he knew how when other things didn't work out best. He wasn't violent, but I'm sure he took precautious, protective measures for the streets. I'm college educated & my family has long moved from the 'hood' in Liberty City. I just believe ppl do what their circumstances allow.
So many fine gentlemens. That german shepherd at 12:19 must be the neighbourhood scientist.... Yo know what I'm sayin?
The best part of this was The Hampton House. I didn't even know about it. Thanks for that.
6:24 Yeah, he's right. I'll stick to South Beach. The only "trouble" me and my sister had there were guys honking their car horns at us.
I remember a few of you guys from the USA flea market i used to do tattoos out there for year, i stay in Kentucky now all luv stay safe out there
Greatz to all the real people livin in a f### up World, Stay strong and do your thing
What up this Shunga-Li thanks for putting my life out there lets do more
I’m funna pull up on you
I can't believe chris rock really in the hood like that interviewing OG's and everything bro
FLORIDA HOOD VLOGS lame
"Muhammad Ali was training to fight Cassius Clay" -.- really?!
Griselde'Flocko 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Obviously he had trouble remembering but it wasn't hard to use the internet and figure out what he meant. Ali was still Clay when he fought Sonny Liston on Miami Beach
it's nice to see that Chris Rock has gotten some work again...
Glad they gave a shout out to Sesame Street, R.I.P Big Bird
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Does this document comes with ENGLISH subtitles/caption??? Lol
😂😂😂😂I'm surely getting a good laugh watching these comedian,you know what I'm saying!!!
lets also add "You feel me?" was said by that chain wearing guy like a hundred times..lol you feel me?
May 2015. Hampton House is restored.
Lynn Lynn indeed it is and it's coming out pretty dope salute Mia stand up
Muhammad Ali stayed here when he fought Cassius clay 😂
lol @ 24:54 when muhammad ali was training to fight cassius clay ; must've been a helluva fight!
Toward the end of the vid, an older man talks about The Hampton House. Blacks weren't allowed to stay on Miami Beach during the 60's, so they'd stay at the Hampton House. Well, the man said that they are restoring the Hampton House and it will be used as a Historic museum type place, that'll chronicle Black Miami's history. Muhammad Ali, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, and Sammy Davis Jr. all stayed at the Hampton House, at one point. That segment was the GOOD.
PREACH!
I have a question..does dude with the good curly hair have another newer channel?
Good Documentary...
Very good doc.
What a disgrace, luckily I grew up in a decent neighborhood and now I am on my way to have a 6 figure net worth at the age of 27, and yes I am black.
Unknown Bro I need a piece of that bro, trying to turn a new leaf frfr.
Unknown
If you weren’t lucky then you would be the “disgrace “.
How are you going to hate everybody in a bad neighborhood. Do you see white people taken responsibility for all the fucked up shit they do?
Help don’t hurt.
I wonder how many of these guys are still alive...
Probably like 2 and these 2 are in jail
Everybody still alive and going well but thanks anyway
nanacondabjj 93 everyday is alive and free thanks for the hate
@@JohnDoe-qi8pv I'm not hating...Just want to know...Some of you are portraying that you are thugs and shit...What happens to thugs? Dead or jail...I haven't seen a successful thug yet.
@@aprilb1920 you don't know many thugs then...
I'm with you on that- trynna build myself up to be the same way. Right on Brotha.
"Muhammad Ali stayed here in room 35, when he was training to fight Cassius Clay" lmao
Lmfaol
Are you smoked?..you know what I'm saying
3:06 -- 1/2 beetlejuice and 1/2 Jay - Z
Best part was the gentleman talking about the hotel.
Those of us born into slavery accept it as a fact of life. It matters not whether the slavery is urban, suburban or rural, it creates its own story and we adapt - something we do very well. Of the few seeking a way out of this trap, even fewer will succeed. For the few seekers I recommend "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World" by Harry Browne. The book made a huge difference and assisted my escape from slavery.
So sad for the children who have to live around this puke.
Fat Albert: "Free all my Nigga's that's in the penitentiary, but if they don't get out soon, we gonna' break em out"
...
Dumb Donald: "All us got felonies"
...
Rudy: "Anybody who gets in the way gets it. Don't look at us like we bad people or criminals"
...
Mush Mouth: "Room 35 was Muhammad Ali room when he was training to fight Cassius Clay" :(
ancel1961 fuck you and instead of writing shit pull up fuck nigga if you kno what I'm saying
Why the hell do they talk like they just came off the plantation???
They never left.
RubyTuesday Fla it's just the accent my nigga
Whether or not you agree w.my opinion of "circumstantial" lifestyles, it's the truth. You cannot speak on or judge something you've never lived or experienced. I empathize w.these ppl bc this is MY 'hood. I come from here, I lived here among them, I was able to 'get out.' I don't look down on them, these same guys are my cousins, Uncles, friends and old neighbors; People I relate to bc I grew up in this SAME environment. My mother was an educated woman as well, who picked up where my father...
Love the Hampton House segment, i swear i learn new shit everyday on youtube. I had no idea that blacks couldn't stay on miami beach back in the day. Wish the Hampton House would have stayed more preserved, with just a shell it kinds of takes the lure of the "orginal" joint from back in the day. Where you could walk into a room and say "malcom x stayed here, or MLK, or Mo Ali, Sammy Davis Jr, Jackie Robinson" etc.
I really like what they saying
Lol
I wonder how many are still alive.
He lost me at Big Bird diarrhea. I can't take these guys seriously. I just can't.
big bird dyed red
dont forget butterball, thats a real og
As long as u are the monitor side u dont have to take them seriously. But the streets of dade county aint nothing funny
The "monitor side" is usually the educated side so yes, I'll elect my right to not take them seriously. Those guys have every opportunity to make it out the hood. I did it. They can do it.
BammBii oo is that what he said lol - all i can say is im sure as shit glad i dont live anywhere in america!
lol right right, well it was nice chatting with you champ
you sound very intelligent.
Excellent documentary. Bit of advice. , don't show license plate numbers. You put it together well, so not a big thing to hide them. Experience of pro documentary makers has showed that showing those plate numbers leads to nothing good for all parties involved.
i dont think the Poon's really care about their plates showing.. "you know what im sayin'"//lol
Ya know what I'm sayin'...
yea thats me
I don't understand why y'all encourage that "Thug Life" with all those RIP's
You ain't about that life
...it was the life my father lived, but I was much smarter. We had a home, we had parents and my mother was strong. She refused to allow us to conform to the societal battle that had engulfed our neighborhood. She wanted better for us, she forced us to do better, taught us better and led by example. Most of these ppl didn't have that, bc their circumstances were ALOT different. What can you do? You live life the best way you know how, based on what your circumstances and upbringing will allow.
That second dude that started talking if that dude don't look funny as hell
Oh my gawd, every other word is "Mah nigga" and "You feel me?" and "You know what im sayin'?"
Just love the way they talk even though I dont understand much
+slick67cuda middle finger up for you mate
+slick67cuda you are, I am not into ignorant people like you coming out of the blue and and looking for trouble my comment was pleasant, and never hurt anyone. Not everybody speaks like them from where I come from, which I enjoyed. So keep your lousy comments to yourself

Oh my look at them car wow sweet
This is so sad
ANYBODY who stays in poverty and says it's because they are "having trouble finding good jobs" where they live simply does NOT have a "good education". They may THINK that they do but a "good education" would include several things including the knowledge and confidence of how to pick up and go TO the "good jobs" or even better how to CREATE a "good job" regardless of where you are.
Anyone who can't do that ...does NOT have a "good education", just a facade of one and needs to study MORE!
3:47 "King Rich" lol😄👍, you´re lightyears away from one or both of those, buddy
The Gentlemen at the ends shows some of the root of what we see today in neighborhood like theses, centuries of racism and being starved out economically.
Racism and discrimination is a bad problem in the USA. I am originally from the Caribbean. I lost everything because of attacks against me by racists. My ex wife was Hispanic and her mom (Rose Fredericks) who had black in her was racists against blacks. My business fell in Miami by acts of a racist Judge (Marc Schumacer) who was Jewish. My business on wall street was attacked by a racist Jew (Hal Shaw, 10 Hanover Place, Ny). Before all this, when my daughter was just a newborn, my Management job in Miami, I had to leave when a racist name Ed Cunningham continued harassing me. He became the comptroller at Canam Associates in Miami Lakes 16095 NW 57th Ave, Miami, Florida... and the owner would not stop him because the founding partner wanted to promote me to a partner. A cuban woman named Maria Garcia who worked for me at the warehouses on 5100 NW 167th street, Miami, Florida... joined the attack against me and she even told me that I was hiring too many black people there. Well, they pushed me out of my partnership and now she is managing. She later rehired one of the former black employee as a part time as her cover up of being a racist. I can clearly remember being threatened by a grpup claiming to be white power ran by Dean, the boyfriend of Alise Bergamo in North Miami, Florida and even had to deal with a man name Alan Jack Small of lauderhill Florida who tried to intimidate my family members as he impersonated a Fedrral Agent which he even stated at the Broward Court in front of Judge Peter Dijols who did not allow him to succced with his nonsense there as he did in front Miami at the racist Judge Schumacer..... ken Ramnath, Director, Celine int'l, Inc Wall street, NYC... ken.ramnath@gmail.com
I like the good part with the brothers rolling in them souped up cars.. something good came out of the hood
preach
You have kids, but you spend your days hanging out in the alley? And the cycle continues. And did you hear that fool rapping that he could have bought a house with what he spent on that huge necklace? I am glad he does not live on my block. He could turn the whole neighborhood just by moving in.
Yo he would never be able to afford it
ToniA5555 we don’t spend our days hanging in a alley we are grown mans now we was talking about when we was kids like 12 years old and you had to walk thru the alley to go the store but damn nobody perfect and I understand the hate and dislike you have for ppl you don’t even know. We say you know what I’m saying because that how we talk where I’m from. Have a bless year and GOD
I get y'all hood but we do know what y'all saying. Dear God, you don't need to say "ya know wut I'm saying" every other five words. Yes, we know what you're saying.
nah im sayin?
It is what it is...ya feel me ?
Dude in the black shirt said "know what im saying" 53 times haha
Mario Martinez
And you counted?
Its a down south thing. Reconize. Every hood and coast has their slang
20 mins of ( you know what im sayin ) and 6 mins on the subject ..
7 years have passed and I still don't know King Rich!
It’s my step dad, he used to be a rapper but he’s still bumin
Part II: "This isnt the Lib I remember..."
Part III: "Theeeere it is."
It's a good doc.I have one about the Zoe Pound in GangLand 3,it really is heavy down there.Miami is a city I want to visit some day cuz aside of all the beaches and the hot girls I want to be at the Winter Music Conference also I wish to visit it cuz I want to admire a city that was built on coke money,that intrigues me and the movie Scarface has a lot to do with it.Watch the Portuguese rap clip from some of my friends called 'Marianas sa ta caba' (Cape Verdian for Marianas gheto is finishing)
What sons is playing out if that car 10 minutes in?
They just living this Life
