[@rudegirl84]

[@atombomb31458]

Brox...you nailed it man. Secaucus..deadon!!

[@spokest]

Since first seeing this vid I have returned to Joburg, visited Alex, been out on night shift patrol with SAPS... the old SA I knew so well from the days of my youth is gone. Still a hell of a buzz going on though. One of a kind, nowhere else quite like it. BTW couldn't find Cashless Society CDs in any of the shops I tried, but you have converted me into a Perceptionists fan! Dankie my swaer!

[@Jhampa108]

I love you Jozi your the city !!! its too bad these streets show no pity...... PEACE

[@onelovek15]

Yes! Tell them that africa has educated people and beautiful cities. If i were to say anything it would be that South looks alot like los angeles. Sandton is beautiful. Take a trip to Malawi one day.

[@POCAHONTA13]

i like this city me gusta esta ciudad

[@Jhampa108]

EXATCLY thanks for the comments !!

[@lionzion22]

I was in Joberg last year, and that exact same sentiment kept corssing my mind. It Atlanta!

[@jsanders2004]

JoBurg!! I miss Joburg so much!!!!

[@glenw123]

mis home sweet home...wish eveything changed and we could all live as "simone"

[@n0manland]

Cape Town has the mountains and the oceans. Jo'burg just cannot compare with beautiful Cape Town.

[@Jhampa108]

first is trak by the perceptionists called 5 o'clock The second is from local group Cashless Society trak called 8-3-1 I luv u off album Africa Raw material (go get that!!)

[@goonerfromjhb]

Roughly between 5-25 million Rand, Those big houses in Houghton are some of the oldest houses in JHB, they are considered ' old money' whereas Sandton is considered 'new money'

[@mikekamler]

My Joburg ... damn, you cant not love the place ... despite everything its still the block that i chipped off ... love ya Jozi!

[@goonerfromjhb]

Thats between 1.8 to 2.5 million rand, you can still get a massive house anywhere for that price. I'm from the south of JHB, Mondeor, Meredale, Glenvista, Glenanda, Ridgeway are all decent areas. In the North places like Rosebank, Parktown, Parkurst, Sandton, Houghton and further North places like Midrand or Randburg are full of good newly built properties

[@TheRNP93]

such a great city, if all goes well i hope to live there in a couple of years..greatings from the uk :)

[@roquemoz1]

I live in Anchorage-AK, and i've been in JHB it's a very huge,modern, and clean place..of course there're some criminals but not like NYC or Chica or even LA, it's really beautiful and exciting city but very hot..

[@goonerfromjhb]

Rep Joeys all the way! I hear you...In the words of James Brown, You GOTSTA GOTSTA LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!

[@NeoFalcon69]

@TOTALFOOTBALL1989 The Perceptionists - 5 O'clock - good song.

[@goonerfromjhb]

@drbrth Yes Bru there's alot that gets shot in South Africa....lol...glad you like the flavour

[@dan2hamilton]

what is the name of the first song? is johannesburg a safe place for vacation

[@prepschoolkid]

they are doing urban renewal projects in Joburg.

[@Jhampa108]

this was taken in early 2006........ alot has changed. Major development is underway.

[@noway24]

wow this video is fascinating... more like this please! perhaps other cities in sa?

[@yardlet6]

Public transit sucks in many SA cities so some township guys got the idea to transport people using vans(called taxis)) It is a huge business now. Joburg has now put the first leg on an express busway with stations throughout the city. High marks so far.

[@leon1002555]

hahahahahahahahahahahsahhahahahahahahahahahahah without the spaceship hahahaha you made me laught dude....

[@goonerfromjhb]

2:22min I used to smoke bud on that coner to the left next to the municipal building and opposite the civic theatre there was a shweet park there with a GOOD ALL ROUND VIEW

[@LexingtonWells]

omg cool! i want to visit ZA so bad!

[@KateeAngel]

good video

[@OlizerVanAntoninus]

I used to go to Jhb regularly in the 80's and early 90's, I certainly wouldn't go there now.

[@LexingtonWells]

what song is this??

[@MrPukkaGaming]

whats the song called @2:42?

[@prepschoolkid]

What is the average price for a house in houghton?

[@Jhampa108]

its WAAAY better than anywhere ive seen in england :P

[@prepschoolkid]

thanks for the info.

[@MrAngryGorilla2000]

@BrandonVT Maybe South Africa will improve, plus I was doing a vacation project on it.

[@prepschoolkid]

Which suburbs in Joburg have homes in the $200,000-$300,000 range. ( Im not sure how many rands that would be).

[@Jhampa108]

yeas my brother.... ONE OF A KIND ima send you some goodies bra PEACE

[@michelleadel]

superb track btw, where can I get a digital copy from?

[@goonerfromjhb]

It even originated in my own suburb....JHB Southern Crew, Big-up all the 1995-1998 ravers, E.S.P, KRYPTON, 96 Degrees, JHB park station & electric workshop massive, not forgetting the bikers&pill poppers @ HideOut(north jozzi)...and those that supported the "private choc parties" in JHB Mondeor...the shoot-out in front of Reality(1999 put me off the circuit big time) we're spinning the decks in your honour bru...peace...hope you guys are shweet, DJ Digger G & MC B hailing from JHB.

[@dan2hamilton]

that place looks cool i wanna go really bad

[@prepschoolkid]

At 5:30 is he still in Hillbrow?

[@BrandonVT]

@KSwain10 No. There is a huge migration of the 23-30 years old range back to the cities. The United States will never be like South Africa because we don't have race wars.

[@spokest]

The mp3 of 831 would be lekker my china that's for sure! Hamba gahle!

[@BitchinnShoes07]

this place looks like Oakland right next to the Bay. but kind of like Minneapolis.

[@gerardelgado1993]

at least Joburg isn't half abandoned

[@lavinialive]

Hey Bru (I assume) This is lekker vid. I should put some up of Pretoria. Just wait till Jacaranda time next year:)

[@Jhampa108]

thx

[@LexingtonWells]

thanks

[@SpectralTempest]

Im homesick! But dunno why Id miss it. Guess its the vibes. Ya the crime is bad, but I havent had problems with it. If you keep your eyes open you'll be just fine. Its not worth paranoia. At least theres no civil war. Nice track, one of the mc's is Mr. Lif.

[@jaquesTNT]

so unbelievebal many vans driving around in this country ? why? ongelooflijk veel busjes rijden er rond in dit land. hoe kan dat ?

[@michelleadel]

I wanna come home!!!!

[@cjdacka]

Looks so much like Australia

[@gattopoldo]

what happened to all the motorcycles, JHB was full of them

[@MuffDiver408]

I wonder why this person did not step out from his/her car?

[@goonerfromjhb]

The delivery-vans are taxis, basically you cant get any rougher than Joburg city and Hillbrow(2:54mins) unless you go to the townships/shanty towns. for the most part of the video these streets are dangerous enough during the day, but at night they're pretty much no go areas. If you go into the townships and film, you'd run a serious risk of having your nice camera taken off you at gunpoint, & your car, lol

[@Munchkinross]

The whole section between 2:18 and 2:50 has changed, they closed 2 lanes and is supposed to be used for the rapid bus transport system. I work near there, and not once have I actually seen a rapid bus on this road, and they took 2 years to turn them into bus lanes with a terminal. Damn new government wasting taxes like this makes me sick. Can't wait for the DA to take this city away from the anc.

[@Jhampa108]

thanks for the comment bra

[@goonerfromjhb]

No...he's heading for Houghton now, in 5mins he'd be in one of the richest parts of JHB

[@quatlen]

@mautwana It is a fact that Johannesburg is dangerous, it has statistically been in the top 5 cities for murders, robberies, and rapes for the past decade. Travelers also have their fair share of problems while traveling there. I know this because it is a fact that isn't hard to find. As for the ugly part, that is just an opinion but I guess I'm just used to beautiful infrastructure. You don't have to go there to know this general knowledge about the city.

[@cerberusvids]

@gattopoldo ANC... nuff said.

[@tak178]

It can't be that bad...they've got Nando's!

[@atombomb31458]

Oh sorry. I meant Syracuse NY. Oops!

[@PLMORRISON]

So how are things in the CBD? Carlton Hotel opened up and running again? No? didn't think so... Used to be a beautiful city...I loved it. I am gay and used to go to Champions...I think that area is now called 'no man's land'

[@cherryboppp]

who are you to say don't go there? I would say to anyone to definately go, just be careful and enjoy the beauty of joburg

[@fepute]

Nando's originated in South Africa

[@Jhampa108]

Yea thx man... R.I.P Lucky ! ;(

[@Jhampa108]

5 o'clock by the perceptionists yea man its safe just dont do anything stupid but not much happenin in joburg for tourist really probably better go cape town unless you wanna go game reserves

[@Jhampa108]

word

[@atombomb31458]

looks like Buffalo NY

[@Jhampa108]

wonder why I was walking all around Johannesburg fool how do you know what I did....

[@caveman357]

Its not all that crazy. Ive been once and im going again in 4 days. AFRICAS beautiful. people exagerate the bad parts of africa and ignore whats good. I like it better than US. and Im from WASH DC

[@prepschoolkid]

Oh ok thanks.

[@tak178]

Yes. I am aware of that fact. :)

[@Moraud5386]

Joburg seems like Harlem

[@philfreyre]

5 o'clock by the perceptionists

[@broxboy86]

no it looks like secaucus NJ lol

[@itsallhappeningtoday]

im sorry but i was born in johannesburg and lived there half my life and i absolutely love the country but johnrhysmusician is right, the streets are dirty, there's rubbish everywhere, there are gangs and robbers but that doesn't mean your going to be shot when you walk around the streets in the middle of the day. It is a beautiful place but it is not a clean city and i was born and raised around dark africans, im not a racist.

[@saltemann]

i get superman high

[@whatthefuck386]

where are the goddamn aliens?

[@Jhampa108]

no not the CBD

[@lmankj]

What a dump it's become, thanks Mandela/ANC great job.

[@robertchutney]

Maybe you walked without the video camera?:-D

[@goonerfromjhb]

Biggest city in Africa, Biggest flavour on the continent, make no mistake, its no place for being incompetent, this place will hit you bigger than a comet, it'll leave you saying ' no no, I haven't got it! if you got the money, dont flaunt it, plenty out there who have the dreams, just not easy cause they dont have the means, some get needy others get greedy, a combination that'll kill you with speedy, and believe me theres plenty to see, but dont get stupid and you wont end up R.I.P!

[@Jhampa108]

perceptionists - 5 o'clock

[@Jhampa108]

lol Oh Dear.. *sigh* This video was taken in 2006. What the hell do you know about South Africa you live in Texas. If you go into the CBD today you will notice how clean the streets are and how the vendors have been moved off. Property is boomin, places are being renovated all over the CBD, even Ponte City has been sold for re-development my friend ! Stay in Texas and forget about South Africa. You dont want us and we certainly dont want you.

[@onlineamiga]

Weired.. you didnt get car jacked...

[@deerbattler]

It looks boring without the spaceship over it

[@joerichards1000]

@sh4p3shifter but that doesn´t justify apertheid. does it?

[@wingsweep1]

hahahahahahaha i dont see no prawns

[@vusomujo]

@itsallhappeningtoday ya gaborone is far much better

[@MrMarko2000]

It´s so horrible and ugly, I don´t know how they can make a championship in this place so miserable and pathetic.

[@Jhampa108]

I think if your english was a little better you would understand that he has been there before and IN four days he will be there again. Africa is beautiful. I look at your page and laught to myself. I feel for you, so many pins an needles in your head. shame.

[@dr1gba]

but they are whites
