Look closer......look at the hat and the way it moves. I'm not saying the shyt was hovering above his head...... but just look when the replay shows.

Paperboi keeps taking L because of his attitude.

If Paperboi wasn't so obnoxious towards them dudes, he probably wouldn't have gotten robbed.

He could've played it, like:

"Yeah, bro. I got into it with this loudmouth bytch who was gettin on my nerves. We were in her car, so I walked out on her ass. Now I'm on foot like a mf."

They would have laughed it off, left him alone and went about their business. Maybe even help him out.

son....stickup kids are stickup kids.....fukk u talkin bout....

Paperboi is at a crossroads. Be "Paperboi" or be "Alfred" but he has to make a decision because he can't be both like he wants.

Rerun of Van ep

The problem is that Al is a rapper who doesnt really want to BE a rapper. He is the other side of the coin. When you hear that “rap took me out of the hood” story you never hear about how these young black men literally feel like rap is the ONLY alternative they have to selling drugs.

Season 1 Paperboi said it several times. He genuinely feels like he HAS to rap. Its not about the love of the artfrom because if it was he’d be happy simply being an underground rapper. But hes said over and over “i’m just trying to get PAID!”.

So you have a lowkey street dude, who wants to better his life and make a quick buck. He puts out a mixtape, one song blows up. And now his cousin is trying to make him a star. But to be a TRUE star you gotta play the game. The “rap snacks” game. The “performing on tables in front white men like a goddamn circus monkey” game. The “dating an IG thot/upcoming singer” game. The “fire your cousin for a manager with real industry connections” game....



Al wasnt ready to play that game. Because his heart’s desire was never really to rap. Hes a hustler. Not a rapper...

I can tell you are not from the hood or live around the hood.

Paperboi is well known in the streets. So when people hear his music they will assume he "made it". Hence, why alot of brehs want to rob him. You don't remember three episodes ago he got robbed by his plug man? Well he's a target in the streets.

Regardless of how Paperboi play it off he will still get robbed.

Did FX just fukk up

They may have, the test screen didn’t show up when I watched the encore. Hmm strange.

 

[Tim Dripcan]

My breh Paperboi going through that hardship. It's really robbin season for him.

The episode takes place on the anniversary of Alfred’s mother’s death.


Woods” is tonally different than“Barbershop,” which you also wrote. The latter was a pretty comedic episode, whereas this one was kind of dark. What was the most challenging part about writing this episode?
Conveying grief the right way. I don’t know how apparent it is, and it’s not really the focus of the episode, but a major part of Alfred’s mood in this episode is that it’s the anniversary of this mother’s death, and you sort of get a glimpse of his mother in the beginning and people are kind of checking in [on him], and he seems a bit morose.

This nikka really walking in Atlanta

I tried that shyt one summer and realized quick why it's a car city.

 

[EffedUp]

No. Willie is EARN’s mom’s brother

I got that. I figured Willy, Earn's mom and Al's mom were all siblings. I'm referring to the picture in Willy's house.

 

[Reece]

Paperboi gotta work on his situational awareness

That's twice this nikka almost got fukked up this season for not reading people's energies

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Is next week's ep. featuring a fukkery-filled pajama jammy jam?

I’m willing to bet that next week episode will go NOTHING like you expect. That’s why they only show a lil bit of the preview

No wonder. I thought that was really his mother checking in but he was only dreaming. It all make sense. No wonder he was going to through his mood swings.

When you lose a love one so close to you. It would tear you up emotionally and physically. I can relate to his situation.
