    Show was better then I expected

    I like how everything is so over the top and flamboyant and how the djs, graffiti artists are being built up to be these mythical beings. A lot of what makes hip hop culture great

    Zeek, Jimmy smits, shaolin have really embodied their characters

    The music was lit

    Shaolin is fine

    Oddly enough I'm alil attracted to Cadillac... Bruh is a coke head and can be a ? up... but i like his style

    Jaden Smith's acting leaves a lot to be desired. He got better as the season went on

    Lol @ Zeeks introduction to punk. It was kinda cliche. And alil random. But the show tag line is it's a coming-of-age romance about two Bronx teens growing up during the rise of hip- hop, disco and punk in 1977...so I wonder if the daughter will be our punk conduit as the series goes on

    Like how Zeek kept his integrity and didn't let ed kochs man lead him to far astray

    The dj battle in ep 6 was lit. Boo stole the show

    Can't wait for prt 2...

    Wonder how long the show will last...it is one of the most expensive tv shows netflix has produced and the reviews haven't been all that favorable

    Does it bother another else watching scenes like when the teacher basically asked Zeek if he wants to be a field ? and know that it was more then likely conjured up by a group of white men sitting around a table in Manhattan, LA somewhere sipping Star Bucks

    It's nothing new and the writing has been good, just makes u think

    On the first episode...

    When the ? told Maylene he love her and she said she don't love him, she don't want no boy...

    All I could see was this..

    That's why I said I would of stunted on that ? too if I was Books. She only want him not that he starting to put himself on, BIIIIITCH you wasn't with me shooting in the gym.

    Nah she wanted him to help her get on. He knew that and was fed up. The push and pull between those two would frustrate anyone (rightfully so). He tried to cut the cord but the minute ? went south...

    It's kind of funny seeing the girl who was once his only aspiration transform into a distraction from any other goal. I think that "tug of war" might be the crux of this series.

    Yea that bothered me... cuz the opposite of a field ? is a house ? and that's still within the realm of "slave mentality"... I'd feel like the teacher would be smarter than that... I'd have to watch that scene over again because I'm paraphrasing...

    Smash Zeek'a aunt tho.

    I thought the aunt'a bf was a azzzhole tho in the beginning. ? azzz ? who STAYED in his house robe. Especially when he was ? about that damn toothpaste. Lol.

    But muthafucca probably spit some of the realest s*** to Zeek throughout that entire series. His respect level went up after that. He actually did care about Zeek'a and also saw his potential.

    My respect for unc went up when he thought he was clowning Zeke about working for him and the aunt was like "you always said...." damn, I can't remember what he always says, something about having initiative and hustle...but anyway, unc was like, "Damn, I do be saying that don't I?" Lol
