No he was not Tracy was fukking with Earn nonstop and showing no respect because PB shows him none . You ok with your boy putting a gun in your face and pulling the trigger as a joke
Why would you show any respect for someone who clearly doesn’t respect THEMSELVES?
Again, this entire endeavor was Earn’s undertaking from the very beginning. HE chased down Alfred talking that manager talk and hasn’t made not ONE respectable decision since getting Paper Boi on the radio in episode ONE.
Remember, almost every dumb ass , backwards thinking, self destructive situation that Earn has gleefully allowed himself to suffer through, Alfred has been on hand to witness.
This nikka let FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS slip through his hands because he let that same Ex con he was calling “a dumb country ass” finesse him on a credit card scam.
This nikka took a field trip to a STRIP club so he could feel good about tricking off money, while he’s homeless with a child to feed
This nikka thought it would be a good idea to book his street hustling rap artist on the same talk show with a transgender activist so they could debate a topic that Alfred was clearly out of his league on. That shyt could’ve been HELLA damaging to Paper Boi’s brand
This nikka, after KNOWING that his client has suffered through not one, but TWO robberies, arranged for him to sleep at a deranged fans house.
Earn is a fukkup. Who hasn’t proven that he respects the title of Manager. Dude thinks he can just skate by on book smarts and hide behind Al when shyt gets rough (hence Al having to put himself in FURTHER danger in season 1 and beating up the club owner to get the payment that Earn, his MANAGER, negotiated without any legal paperwork)
fukk Earn. That ass whooping he got was the best thing that could’ve happened to him. Hopefully it’ll provide him with some actual clarity
