Sierra was pretty much 100% right and dropping jewels trying to help out Paperboi. He didn't listen and paid for it. She was super cool and sound like my homegals.

The scene with the chic hit home for me. Cause when it comes to ho's i'm exactly like paperboy. Just fukk em a few times and move on. Never let em get too close to me. But then there always comes along one that's just genuinely dope as fukk to be around. Good sense of humor and easy going. No matter how cool you try to play it, you cant ignore that you like hanging out with that bytch. Next thing you know you catching feelings:mjcry:......but no matter what I always end up getting rid of em eventually. Just like paperboy did. But that scene in the car. Where you could see dude smiling and laughing, even though he was trying to hide it. Its something we haven't seen from him the whole series. I thought that was dope and just a real ass scene. Chic was actually able to break into paperbois shell for a minute.

Loved the episode, definitely thought a few shots were a nod to The Sopranos, "Pine Barrens", the overhead shot of the suddenly ominous and unsettling woods, and the whole arc of the story. The transition from shopping and pedicure's with a women who quickly went from attractive and sharp to abusive and toxic, to getting beat up by some kids, robbed, almost shot, and running for your life, clutching a stick in the dirt, the voices echoing around the trees. All very well done. The homeless man, who, true to life, can probably go from funny (Deer guts LOL) to sad, to dangerous in a few seconds. When that box cutter came out I tensed up, never let a homeless person get too close to you.

I esp. liked the scene in the gas station, it just reminded me of myself as kid, trapping and living on couches or hotels, cleaning myself up a little in a bathroom somewhere. Or finding those points of oasis, lost somewhere, no phone or some shyt like that.

I remember a deal going bad when I was like 18, this kid just swings on me, and barely misses, and just starts trying to run my pockets, I ducked the punch, and he grabbed my shirt, I ran on some football play type of shyt, crossed them up, and ran for the trolley, which like a movie, came right as I ran up, and I was gone, with my half ounce, and only missing my phone, which fell out in the car. Reminded me exactly of that scene.

yea that was a scary scene. Some homeless people have a nice way of making you let your guard down.

Makes me wonder who’s gonna almost die next episode.

He got that Drake shyt going on :pachaha: sounds nothing like Paper Boi, in fact this looks like a skit on Atlanta where Alfred just sold out and became what he didn't wanna become

Just finished the episode. Besides the blatant robbery that occurred in the episode, I think that paperboi was robbed of his security and "real-ness".

Paperboi felt secure in his position as the, "real as fukk MC who really be about this thug life" probably because nobody really tested him (besides his own plug if you wanna count that), but I think that PB being stuck up by some bad ass kids, as well as the talk he had with the IG thot, really changed his perspective (hence why he took the pictures with the one fan at the gas station).

PB is not that real nikka from the hood anymore, he's a celebrity, and when you're a celebrity still hanging round the hood dudes/"real nikkas" you'll eventually become a target, and with it being robbin' season, PB is looking like steak to a bunch of hood dudes with nothing to lose.

With this change, I think that we will ultimately see PB drop Ern as his manager. You can already see the writing on the wall, as other celebrities are starting to get exclusive deals and free shyt, and PB is just like, "How you get that? :ohhh:" while the celebrity is like, "Doesn't your manager do the same for you? :mjpls::usure:"

The final episode of robbin season is Paperboi robbing Ern of a job brehs :mjcry:

Final episode is titled, "Crabs in a Barrel" maybe PB goes full hollywood on nikkas and drops Ern because he believes that Ern is holding him down as an artist and a brand due to Ern's own personal demons? (Aka that crabs in a bucket/crabs in a barrel mentality)

Also, the ending RIP credits were of Paperboi (Brian Tyree Henry) actual mother, who passed May 12, 2016

If he drops Earn he gotta drop Traci’s scamming ass too. Darius sells drugs for a living too so hes gonna have to cut ties with him as well. The season might end with Earn, Traci, and Darius robbed of Alfred’s friendship

From knowing Glover's work, he seriously had to resist the urge to kill off one of the characters this season. He's into this morbid "life ends" shyt.

Had the same thought. I got the feeling that Darius was really supposed to die in Teddy Perkins. I actually thought it wouldve been hella ballsy to do so and i’m not at all under the impression that Donald wouldn’t take it there if this wasnt only season 2

The dualities of being Alfred/Paperboi:ohhh:


The fans he wants (those young black
Kids) dont respect him for keeping it real.

Meanwhile the fans he DOESN’T want (clueless surburban white kid) respect him for keeping it real:wow:
