ATLANTA S4 EP 4 Reaction | Unfiltered Bachelors x NineNerdYards

That guy who Al was playing Uno with is gunna. One of the biggest up and coming rappers from Atlanta. He has recently been fighting criminal charges from a Rico case

I'm guessing the granddad is the molester based on Earns expression and the conversation with the siblings. Also, can't help but to notice Gunna wearing checker board and Al are wearing water blue. This is the third secret door. Maybe two if the first door was considered rebirth based on the description Vann said when they tried to get out of the first door.

There were a lot of references to the black experience 😂. Growing up we always used to be STARVING in the middle of church because church is like 3 hours long (atleast Haitian churches are) so as a kid you’d literally feel like you’re going to die and Grandma would always have either butterscotch or cough drops in her purse to help the hunger 😂

[@EJD339]

Damn. 3 hours long? Im surprised they don’t serve food for an intermission.

[@officialkiva_]

Mime praise dancing is very popular in black churches in my area & I’m in the Midwest…& free Gunna btw

[@EJD339]

It’s always so interesting to see what other churches do when you don’t grow up with it.

[@bebeenderson7863]

The guy AL was playing Uno is Gunna an internationally famous rapper from Atlanta.

[@iamdcarrington]

If y’all are gonna do this every week I definitely need to watch the Atlanta episodes sooner to tune into the livestream

[@NineNerdYards]

You gonna come on the live WHENEVER works for you. I mean you are D’ANGELO.

[@369Dimension]

👍do another live re-cap on sunday

[@LuxuriousBlu]

Yodel Kid was more of a representation of the new generation of rappers that die from overdoes as whole than just one rapper in particular. If I had to pick one wrapper he represented, it would probably be Lil Peep or Lil Xan.

[@pevnut]

xan not dead tho.

Great discussion! Everyone had thought-provoking ideas. I enjoyed this episode even though it wasn't as out-there as others, I don't fault it for that. One of the most fun things about the show is the meaning you can interpret which this ep had a lot of. I think the most layered symbolism was the shot of the liturgical (mime) dancers. In the context of the whole show, you have several references made there: the white face boy Tobias Walner of S1E6, then the "transracial" episode after that, Teddy Perkins, the YWA, and even contrasting it with the blackface Zwarte Piet crowd of last season. Then, within this episode's context, you have it being part of the broader theme of race, colorism, and what it means to be Black, but pass with a "white" face so to speak (a metaphor for light skinneded folk). We see Earn's aunt, who is played by lightskin Ain't Vivian of Fresh Prince fame, engage in white woman/Karen behaviors like centering herself, self-victimizing, and calling the cops (against her darker sister no less). And what makes it all complicated is that she does have at least somewhat of a legitimate grievance because her dad has kinda been kidnapped, but she's being super extra every step of the way in addressing that. But yeah that's just analyzing one shot in one scene in an overall great episode. The writers will give you Fanon's "Black Skin, White Masks" distilled into a few frames and a couple seconds lol

[@robertjohnsilvaiii]

Wait y’all don’t know who Gunna is?

[@EJD339]

God, isiah Whitlock was so good in this. His facial expressions were so subtle but telling.

The Kid making fun of Earn's Dad in an attempt to film a viral moment was such and interesting reference to me. There is a Tik Toker who's content I like. He does these videos where he is stopping old men and shooting on their shoes. His vibe isn't as disrespectful as the kid in the episode but it is weird and rude that he does this because the older men always seem clueless as to why this stranger is stopping them for this. And they do attempt to walk away and he jokingly insist that they wait for just a few more seconds while he admires their shoes yet its clear he isn't admiring the shoes he is making fun of them. I admit that it is kind of funny. Yet its definitely rude and I wonder do these men feel bad. The men are usually clearly poor and not very assertive or aware so I assume they are either close to homeless or just regular guys not doing so well. Roasting an old man who isn't doing well honestly isn't cool and a cheap way to build a following. Though the guy who does the videos doesn't seem like he intends to be rude. Its so borderline F'd up that its interesting how people will sacrifice a strangers peace to capture a viral moment.

[@b6x2]

What's the guy's username?

[@ray_maestro_]

@@b6x2 I believe its SLV_sounds . I do find it funny. He does seem generally nice to them but its weird to be nice just to stop a person so you can film and talk shit about their shoes.

[@b6x2]

@@ray_maestro_ jajaj lo vi y es cierto, aunque sí me pareció principalmente irritante no luce como que solo aborde a la gente sin una charla previa al menos, so..

[@bebeenderson7863]

Black families in Atlanta and in general in the south are usually huge. Her saying they he have kids all over Georgia is just kind of a southern stereotype.

[@ray_maestro_]

I could def see the yellow color being a reference for light skin. African Americans def use yellow or red to refer to lighter skinned people. Donald def has a song called "Redbone". You should check that song out lol JK I'm sure yall know the song.

[@2samarie2]

Is it me or do these Atlanta episodes be comin out fast asl
