    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

    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...

    I may have been mistaken she may have said 'slave mentality' rather then 'field slave'

    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

    He damn sure did...like he knew walking on the set that day "I gotta ? the MJ part" lol...I feel like him and Zeke are gonna be the 2 who take music the most serious out the crew

    Yea I can see that

    Feel like the oldest brother will get into the management side of things

    I dunno about Diz lol

    Lol let's hope they become a self contained unit and Diz starts making Zeke's album covers. I can't deal with another ending a kid's life on a sad ass story like The Wire and what happened with ? . Still hurts to see him become a dope fiend lol

    Finished Ep. 5. This ? is righteous. Mylene can get all sorts of D. Shao's discipline - for the most part - is admirable.

    Where's the soundtrack? It took me three episodes before I figured out that was the GOAT Nasir doing the voiceovers. Nas is the ? Greatest Of ALL Time of this Hip-Hop ? , B. Hands down.

    Found the soundtrack on Apple. "Rule the World" is my ? right now. The battle track vs The Notorious 3 should be jamming on the radio right now, as should "Set Me Free".

    The uncle and Mylene's mama was standing on the office. Kinda lookin like they were getting themselves together after they had sex.

    I think she mentioned something about "We can't do this". Then said something "My Mylene", but the context and the way he said it sorta indicated the Unc might be Mylene's father. Wouldn't be surprised considerin his brother got two other 2 kids.

    I think Mylene is the uncle daughter as well. That ? wouldn't be dropping off that much bread to his brother just to keep him afloat if it wasn't. Not saying he wouldn't look out for his brother but the uncle gave Mylene mother a nice chuck of change just to help his brother struggling church.
