- Thread starter TheOddOne

Really great part of the episode for me. Especially his facial expression during while saying "thats not true"
Dang this dude is too talented.
Face it, we're just greedy brehs.
I have a thought that if this show was an hour long it would overstay it's welcome and have filler

His vocals have improved a lot since the Camp days.

Definitely, his So Into You cover is fire.

While I'd love an hour, I feel the same way. I'm fine with amazing and concise 30 minute episodes.

So does Donald have a leftward sloping penis? A slightly droopy eye? Every man has to be imperfect somehow.
Yup.
In terms of rap notoriety, he's still seen as corny to the community with reviewers somewhat liking BTI but not liking his last mixtape STD MTN as far as I remember. I also sorta felt bad that his protege Chance the Rapper ended up being more famous than Donald in the rap game and is now working with Kanye, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, etc.
Other than that though he's pretty much perfect.
I really liked that moment. They set it up as a cliché moment where you might think they'd go the 'chop off his hand' route but they didn't. Granted, a scene like that is kind of out of place in a show like this but still. The off hand remark of them just getting the suitcase open and taking the money while the guy keeps his suitcase worked well.

Really messin' with this show all around. Great music too.
Had a good argument with a friend last night about the whole 30 mins vs an hour thing. He was confused that they didn't show the shoot out/aftermath, of ep 1 and transitioned straight to them being in jail in ep 2. "It's not The Night Of my dude..."

D: Man, I ain't scared of nothing. I got Daddy right here.
PB: You call your gun "Daddy"?
D: Yes.
PB: That's weird, man.
D: Is it weird when your girl call you "Daddy"?
PB: Man, that's completely different, and yes, yes. It is.
D: All right, what about Papi? I know you ain't got no problem with Papi.
PB: Man, Papi, that's like... cultural.
D: Oh. Oh, okay. Because it's Spanish, now all the sudden, it's sexy.
PB: Look, that shit always creepy. Man, if a bitch called me "Daddy," man, something wrong happened. Real talk.
D: Yo, you not gonna see this, but your assumed perversion of the word "Daddy," I think that's stemming from the fear of mortality, man. What you call your gun?
PB: Nigga, gun.
So good :lol
Nice touch that later at the drug deal the rifle was called "Percy".
PB: You call your gun "Daddy"?
D: Yes.

Just caught up on this, show's hilarious and shot extremely well. All three eps have been great.
...uh, nah.
Glover put Chance on as an opening act for some shows and on a feature for a shitty mixtape. That doesn't make him Chance's mentor. Chance was already a Chicago celeb at that point and working on a record that dwarfs anything with the Gambino name on it
You shouldn't feel bad that an immensely more talented musician found success where Glover didn't. You should feel good, hopefully events like that helped Glover to realize shit like Atlanta is where he belongs.
Lmao, anyone notice Darius was dressed like a 70s hustler for no apparent reason during the drug deal
You can tell these dudes ain't about that life
What is this stan shit I'm reading lol

He's professional, man. They ain't no duffle bag boys.
lol gtfo here. Literally a quote from Chance while touring:
source:
http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2012/09/...ambino-cosign-signing-to-caa-and-new-mixtape/
^from four years back, means nothing. You can't credibly think Gambino's music has anything to do with where Chance is at now
lmao not evenI think Chance is hit-or-miss, Coloring Book's good but a mixed bag, overall he's at least got his own sound even if he puts it to lame stuff sometimes and he seems like he's got a lot ahead of him.
It's less that I'm about Chance and more that Gambino is a terrible awful musician and Glover is a very good writer and actor, and I think the fawning over every aspect of him (e.g. claiming his disposable work is responsible for other musicians, speculating on his dick...what some might call "stan shit") distracts from his actual talent

Woah there I mean if you don't like his rapping fine everyone has opinions. But to call him a terrible awful musician is pretty far fetched. Seeing he had a lot of success with his music says otherwise.

People inextricably hate on Gambino. I bet a whole bunch of people think like the dude in the chicken place, even if they don't admit to it

IDK, Gambino has some pretty hot bars.
I don't see how Childish was a mentor of Chance either. I feel like Chance was just being nice like how any young person would say about an older person. Donald is like 30 something isn't he lol.

Soooo
Let's talk about how hilarious yet familiar/uncomfortable the restaurant scene was.

Haha okay buddy. I'll just trust what Chance actually said instead of his stans putting words in his mouth.
That shit was too real. The moment where he just goes off on the waiter was cathartic.

Both of their albums are top 3-5 hip-hop releases in their respective years so, as long as you're into experimental stuff, yes.

Just watched the first 3 eps - what a cool, slow burn of a show. Definitely love it.

Finally caught up with this. Instant favorite show on tv right now. This shit is wayyyyyyyyy too good. Nice to see Glover channel his past life as Troy in this last episode, his facial reactions are still on point.

Lol ander ain't that guy. And honestly I love Drake and Young Thug and shit so I'm not really vibing with what that dusthead character in the episode was saying either.
But I also think gambino has made pretty bad music. And yeah I listened to the Internet album, it wasn't good.
He's making wise choices with the sound of this show too. I was kinda worried he'd be plugging his own stuff in (as he has every right to of course) but instead I'm getting a lot of atlanta/trap sound in here. Paperboy sounds like most trap rappers right now. Heard some Migos and Kodak Black too in the episodes

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Some restaurants are super militant about the kids menu thing. I was on a casual date a long ass time ago and she tried to get something off the kid's menu cause she had a bird stomach. I'm like alright, cheaper meal that's cool with me. They didn't let her do it, said you literally had to have the child with you. I don't know why a to-go place would give a fuck though.
They need to do a scene about movie theaters literally checking people's bag for snacks. That happened to me last year. lol.
And sometimes it is folks on a power grip.

Glover continues to impress me. When I was a kid, my friends and I were obsessed with DerrickComedy. Fast forward 10 years later, and I'm still enjoying what he's doing. He's grown up a lot.
Damn good show. Just watched episode 3 tonight. I'm rarely interested in TV, and this is the only show I've watched while airing in over a year. Looking forward to the next one.

Latest episode was great. Fucking loved Vanessa's reaction after that heartfelt speech by Earn. So many funny scenes in this one, which have already been quoted, but I especially liked the cut from them saying they can take care of the handcuff problem to the obviously simple solution. A classic setup and punchline but they had created such an atmosphere of tension and dread that it worked beautifully.
I am really enjoying this show.
