Bibby the barber. Lord. That man made Earn look like a saint in silk pajamas. He can cut some hair but ooo weee; he requires the patience of Job.

Nita Cherise and Nikki. Who are they and where did they come from? Who cares? Atlanta FX is a dope ass show and they're dropping knowledge about it. Or something like that. Skkkrrrr Bop Bop.

It was supposed to be a nice lovers' weekend but of course things went sideways because Earn is a turd. This little freak town was weird AF but still. Once again, c'mon son. Released by:N/A Atlanta FX Season 2 Ep 4: Helen Review by Rappin' Atlanta is licensed under a  Creative Commons License.

Wandering into woods is never a good idea. It's not safe. It's dark. It's scary. And sometimes, it's inhabited....

Last episode of season 2 ended with a classically sweet tea @$$ episode of Atlanta FX. We approve.

Forget Drake, NYE and social media posting. Your regular, run-of-the-mill girls' night out can be every bit as scary as visiting some freak in the boondocks for a piano. C'mon Van. We're worried about you, Lil Sis.

Nita Cherise and Nikki are going to do what they gotta do to record and produce this show. It's just necessary. Plus someone has to break this AtlantaFX show down because the characters, writing and storyline are too dope not to. And we know all about getting robbed and exploited. Sort of.

Earn's behind should have been fired a long time ago. We've been saying it for several reviews. Now who wants to jam to a mixtape of throwback snap music?

What's attending high school like in a severely image-conscious place like Atlanta? Apparently brutal. Oh the memories. Almost needed to schedule a visit with a therapist for this one. #Bothered

In this episode, we are feelin' Clark County, Boogz, Tracy and Minnie. Earn...not so much. C'mon son. C'mon. We really need you to come on in.

We slid down several walls after watching this. Several. Trauma is spelled w-h-I-t-e-f-a-c-e, as in Donald Glover, please don't do that ish no more. For serious. #Shook

After the incident in the parking lot, Al and Earn find themselves in jail. Al gets out quickly because he got it like that. Earn...well Earn absolutely does not...and it goes down...for real.
