I know..Just a fucked up scenario
Watching now... So far this is really good.
Mad everybody in lockup was black
Set in Dekalb County....pretty accurate.
Man Another thing that I have to say is damn..... the accents are on point. On point... It's rare to see a show that actually has black people that actually sound like they are from the south.
I tried watching it but this shit is whack.
Donald sound like he from up north. He don't sound like he from Atlanta.
It was odd, but they actually used Nigga in a realistic fashion.... even the random White dude who says it when he thinks he can get away with it, but immediately plays it off.
Everyone doesn't sound the same as proof by him actually being from Atlanta himself.
Would have been nice if they had real actors from Atlanta playing in the roles. This shit is on some bs.
Cause everyone from the South doesn't always sound a like..... His character went to Princeton. Which explains alot. My accent changed after College.
Side note... The jail holding cell scene was pretty much perfect. That is exactly how shit plays out. Shit is like some weird Airport waiting area.
Donald is from Califonia and resides in Los Angeles.
I just wanna know one thing. I keep lookin at the trailer. Is them niggas walkin backwards and they run the tape forward? Or are they just walkin funny like that? Shit is crazy.lol
No ATL accents but this is funny as hell.
Yeah but Donald is originally from California and he now lives in Los Angeles. He lived in Stone Mountain, Georgia for awhile but he never lived in inner city Atlanta.
Glover was born near Lancaster, California,[2] and was raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia. His mother, Beverly (Smith),[5] is a retired daycare provider, and his father, Donald, Sr., is a retired postal worker.[6] His parents also served as DeKalb County foster parents for 14 years. He was raised a Jehovah's Witness.[2][7] He attended Stephenson High School and was voted "Most Likely to Write for The Simpsons" in his high school yearbook.[8][9]
I'm not sure what constitutes you being somewhere but just because you were born at a place doesn't mean you were raised there.
Either way, point is everyone doesn't sound the same...their's a certain dialect and accent people have but everyone doesn't get it or use it. Especially in the South. I can see if this was NY or Boston we talking about.
Georgia is Georgia..... I grew up in Humboldt, Tennessee but grew up sounding like I'm from Memphis.
Plus he grew up in Georgia in Dekalb County. Went to High School in Stone Mountain... Dude is from the south.
DJ Paul has lived in vegas for like 12 years now, but aint no one saying he isn't from Memphis.

Stone Mountain is not the inner city of Atlanta though. Folks in the inner city of Atlanta talk different from someone from Stone Mountain. I know this cause I've experienced having properties in ATL since the 90's onto now and seeing how the people there talk so I would know.
He just don't sound like a southerner to me though, maybe it's cause he don't live in the South anymore that's probably the case.
It may not be Atlanta but it is the south lol. Everybody from the South doesn't have a southern accent is all i'm saying. To be honest, I didn't really even know where he was from I thought he was from Atlanta. I follow his music and he's shouted out Atlanta a lot far more than any other region or city so that's kind of what I assumed.
That cat probably never sounded like he was from the South. There are people out there like that. Like everyone says Designer sounds like Future......well lol...he from Brooklyn.
Exactly....
I don't know why people think everyone from the south sounds like they have a country twang. I liked how you could almost tell the parts of Atlanta where the characters stayed almost from their accent. Especially the Dude who was telling the story about wishing he stayed at home and not see his boy that he hasn't seen in 11 years. I mean that shit was almost perfect... I don't see how you could write that shit down. That had to be improvised some, because I could go to my neighbors house right now... and ask him to tell me a story and dude would exactly like that Kat in jail. Exactly...
And you dont "sound" like a Canadian you fraudulent fat fuck.
Real Atlantans don't even know this dude, he's not considered a Atlanta rapper. To be honest I had no clue who he was until I seen him on this show.
This entire conversation is insane... Stone Mountain is a freaking Suburb of Atlanta.
This is like saying that a Kat from Southhaven has no right to sound like a Kat from Downtown Memphis.... When in reality they are all in the same county.

You never heard how I sound. I was born and raised in Toronto, but I also have properties and homes in Atlanta, Toronto, New York City, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Montreal, Detroit and Ottawa. I know all about Atlanta though. I have a Southern swag.
Hold up.... Have you never watched Community? And he never said that he is an Atlanta Rapper...
Nope never watched it, never heard of the guy until now.
Naw this appears different.... plus it seems like he is throwing in some Mystical elements as well... with the random dog and the brother in the suit.
After being in the south for some time, I found that to be the most authentic
I really enjoyed the show. I wish it was on Netflix. I would have binge watched the whole season tonight.
Great writing and production value is top notch.
