This dude is so lame and a try hard to me.

He's always been.

That's why he's had trouble resonating with the black community. We can detect fakeness very easily.

I tried to get into his music, literally with every project. Even the mixtapes. Dude basically just cosplays other people's music that worked for them, and does his version of it. It's like he's doing impersonations all the time. Problem is, his main producer is a white dude from Sweden. I loved Atlanta, but the show's writers were 95% white after it blew up. And the show was about black people! So he's very disconnected from the community, but then complains about not getting the love from his own people. He's smart enough to know why that is, by now.

He's spent his entire career reveling in being the "safe" black dude. So of course, you're gonna be seen as a sellout.

Legend did his thing. :to:

The Steve Lacy joint took me by surprise too. Heavy Kauai energy on that one. But I heard there are more tracks on the album that weren’t played tonight. Would be surprised if Tyler doesn’t end up on it in some fashion.

That’s not true.

There were 41 episodes.

Donald was credited for writing 9, his brother 11.

Jamal Olori - 4

That’s not true.

I'm close friends with the creator of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. She worked on Atlanta too.

And I was on set for mad episodes. It's very true. First season was all black, it changed after that.

Which is why Black Twitter flipped out when the news came out. This isn't breaking news, bro, lol.

This is untrue.

Season 3 of Atlanta out of 10 episodes 9 were written by black writers.

Season 4 of Atlanta out of 10 episodes, 8 were written by black writers and one was co-written by a black writer

His next series Swarm was co-created by a black woman and all 7 episodes were written by black writers.

The series after that Mr & Mrs Smith was co-created with a white woman but out of 8 episodes, 4 were co-written by black writers.

I like Gambino’s more Weeknd-esque stuff. Been listening “19.10” for a few years now and glad we got the final version “To Be Hunted”.

He’s definitely a theater kid at heart, but he can rap when it’s a very laidback/pop track. Anytime he tries to go off I feel kinda :unimpressed:

That “white dude” producer of his from Sweden with four Grammys, two Emmys, and two Oscars in his belt is indeed a fukkin’ problem, lol.

You ain’t gotta like the two, but I feel like you gotta respect the come-up at the very least.

Not true. At all.

And Francesca isn't white. She's Hispanic. But again, my brother wrote on Atlanta for the last couple of seasons. The majority of the writers were white. They fired most of the black writers and brought in white ones. Like I said, I was there a lot after they hired my brother. Glove wanted to push the show as being written by black writers in the first season, which it was. But that changed after the new deal, and certain people weren't writing sh*t, but were getting credit as if they were.

Suck my dikk. The white producer’s accolades have nothing to do with lame ass Gambino’s disconnect from the black audience. Get off your knees.
Attributing a disconnect with Donald from the black audience after delivering arguably the last great black show on television is wild, to say the least.
