Life in the ATL just got a real throwback moment with the shout out for Jermaine Dupri’s latest video shoot. The hit-making producer went on Instagram thanking everyone that showed up for the shoot and tagging collaborators such as SauceGod JMoney, Bunna B, Sean Peast, and Niya Awiya. The caption was classic ATL, all about that ATL vibe. “They say we got 1, so many people was walking up to me saying Thank You this feels like Atlanna,” he wrote, tossing in the hashtag #YKWTI and even shouting out to Magic City. Afterward came the flood of cash emojis and appreciation for the culture of this City.

That snippet of the video was very short but fraught with that classic Atlanta bounce. Just the short cut of “Come on eighty!” gritty; the people had that feeling. Comments began flowing in from people who wanted to see the Old Atlanta or were just excited about the city’s rebirth. A person described it simply as “2006 Atlanta” and thanked Dupri for bringing back that feel. Another said it felt like 2015 all over again, and someone jokingly commented that they needed a part two because they missed the first.
But not everyone was brilliant in reminiscing. Some went on with side conversations, like when one person noted the way Offset and JID are doing the goth thing, and then there’s Dupri keeping it classy. Then here comes the guy still bitter for getting blocked by SauceGod JMoney because he spoke up for Omeretta. Drama doesn’t sleep!
Then those laughing all the way to the bank about what they were watching. “What the hell did I just watch?” said one with tons of crying laughing emojis. Another said jokingly, “We need to find the old lady who originally made this dance back in 2013 & bring her back for the video.” A good time.
But the takeaway? Atlanta culture is alive and well, and Dupri is one of those that keep that spark alive. Whether it is through music, dancing, or just city pride that can’t be moved-from-as they said, this video shoot spake a thousand words for why the A stays winning. With homecoming season soon upon us, that energy will roar!
Some are already begging for the drop of the song to come sooner, while others claimed it should have come out at the start of summer. I guess better late than never when this much nostalgia-and-energy is involved. Here’s one thing I can say for sure. When Dupri says it feels like Atlanna, you can bet on it to be the vibe.

A shout for the old heads, the newcomers and everyone else in between who stepped up for this one. Atlanta is a place that can make moments cost timeless, and this was surely one. Now the real question…when’s the next?
