This shit is wack. They keep repackaging boys in the hood menace to society and all the other hood movies and feeding it back to us. The momma g story line was bogus. Lamar's character is beyond lame. They'll probably have a season 2 but writing is ass. Shit can't hold a candle to snow fall but watch on the finale they probably have a cameo of Franklin to have viewers wanting another season

The music industry was born thru organzied crime and blood money but I was/am hoping for more an inside baseball view of the how industry works. I was disappointed with Atlanta for not going in that direction.

Damn, Big D ...

fuck that nigga...people like is the biggest cancer in the black community

When Dara made that 3some offer...Leon should have said, "You know Dara, you have a really sweet lady inside of you...you should let her out more often." Then he steps off the porch and turns back to her and says...."But, I'll take a rain check on that three-some offer..."



But who was really at fault for all of that shit??

So the season is in the books. I'll say it was good, but not great, and my issue is going to be this: in the original Snowfall, the main character is based obviously on Freeway Ricky Ross, but as is the case with most drug kingpins, drug lords, gang leaders, or mafia dons, most of their life was not recorded on tape, so it's easy to take their stories and craft a fictional narrative from it.

When we move the story to the early 1990s, the West Coast hip hop scene has blown up all over the state, so how does a fictional rapper exist in Artillery exist in 1990-91 when we know and have documented footage of what was going on?

The smart move is for them to lean into what you said.... I said earlier I hope the show gives us an inside look at HOW the music industry runs...

Is Artillery ever going to do concerts?

Is Wanda going to scout more talent?

Are we going to see Lamar do more in terms of music production/creating rather than just seeing him spazz out?

Is Leon going to be like Suge, Puff or Dame or Irv or Percy???

The ulitmate lesson that we learned from that era is you can't run a legitimate business like it's a criminal organization

MURDER INC.
DEATH ROW
STATE PROPERTY

its not surprising they didn't last long and all failed in the long term.

The show could give us insight on how all of that went down...how a bunch of street dudes and girls went from slangin and bangin to their finger on the pulse of something that would go global straight off of their balls and bravado BUT the streets and the boardroom are two completely different things and you can't street nigga youre way thru life...its an unsustainable way to behave. Ask Suge, Puff or Dame or Irv or Percy.

Thats what I hope the show does.

I’m upset they ain’t give SYMBA more music time on the show
Everybody debating online (and real life) if DG got “that Karvel treatment”
Big daddy should have had more screen time
