Dude professed his love for her and she told him he was gonna stop her from being successful, then the next time she sees him, she asks if he can play piano on the demo:dahell: then asks if he can come out to meet the producer :dahell:

Books should've dropped her. How u gonna sneak into a club play your crush favorite song, save her from a shootout then get the friend zoned :stopitslime:. He finally gives up on her and on the next sign of her showing any interests he's back to his old ways looking like :gladbron:even when he realized she was using him for her church performance to impress a producer.. :snoop:smh ..
Besides he should've messed with Ra's sister :shaq:

But the the black girlfriend has both of her parents at home, they run like 2-3 stores and the family seem to be happy as fukk.
Yea I know I'm just saying it was slick.. even though she went out of her way to party with people who might be considered "cafre"

Eh, but Shao was literally, living in an abandoned building that was lucky enough to still have running water, she showed up to his place in the 2nd or 3rd episode.

Lmao yea but still she hated that dude from the Jump even though he was part of the incrowd she needed to get noticed.. plus the "cafre" comment wasn't cuz of his living conditions. Cuz he's a black guy that interferes with her plans and has a huge influence on Zeke/Books. And you remember when they were at the new music spot when they used her song to scratch and Shao said he's not using the "wackness" part she got mad and was saying to her friends "those little nikkas don't kno music"

3 eps in and I'm not feeling this
I'm 3 eps in also but I'm going to stick it out. Its pretty good, nothing special. Is it me or is this show more like a musical stage play.. not to mention its on the corny side. If it had a more serious tone to it and tame some of the more outlandish characters a bit I could get into it more

Yeah it comes off like a hood Glee at times, but then someone will do or say something really fukked up and take it to Rated R levels. The tone is very inconsistent.

I'm seeing mixed impressions.

Can someone give me an idea of the tone/direction/plotting of the show? Or just compare it to existing shows? Is it Empire meets Vinyl, more or less? Completely different than that?

Trying to decide if I'm going to watch it this weekend or one of the other shows on my to-watch list.:patrice:

It's right in the middle of those two shows with theatrical like visuals.
