That’s crazy I was just thinking about that scene. That was the only moment in the season that really had me emotional. I don’t know the actor who plays Gata but that shyt was A level. Crying scenes always come off phony to me, but that was all genuine. That’s a dude who really been through real pain to summon that type of emotion. That’s when Dave went from just being a great comedy to a great show, period.

Gata isn’t an actor by trade he’s a rapper, but it seems he may have a promising future acting

Seemed to me that Gata letting him know he's got his back no matter what and still gone fukk with him regardless is what caused the advice to sink in. With everybody else they came off like "listen to me or else" so he felt abandoned but Gata was the only one that acted like he'll support him no matter what.

This shyt was hilarious. Some of the stupid ass details had me rolling. Especially his fascination with how to address "the blacks". And his "I take a charge and they don't even notice".

I felt like that moment with Gata made him realize he was now starting to disappoint the people who actually care about him. It’s one thing when record execs don’t like your shyt. But when your own friends start to lose respect for you it’s time to take a step back and check yourself. At some point in life you gotta grow up and stop chasing the cheap laughs.

I remember back in gator's bipolar episode, it showed how everyone he used to fukk with prior would turn their back on him when he went manic. however, lil dikky seemed to be the first person to accept him and his bipolar condition without judging and they simply accepted him. this is why I think he's riding so hard for dave.

I had a whole response typed up to address a lot of the points raised in that thread but I knew it wouldn't be worth it to engage. :manny:

Maybe you can fill me in? Because either I never heard of "lil dikky" or just forgot who he was until today, that thread made me look up some of his lyrics and interviews....and white dude looks like a HUGE dikk. An insanely privileged, incredibly ignorant dikk who simultaneously makes bank off of Black music while not only not giving an shyt about the Black struggle but openly mocking Black people and treating them like props for his jokes. And lots of other bullshyt too, I mean I barely know him and I already hate him as a person.

So explain to me why this would be wrong....

That’s fair, he’s definitely a stereotypically entitled white guy and I don’t check for his music (a lot of people in this thread don’t either). He addressed some of what you mentioned in his Breakfast Club interview, and he said the Vice interview spiraled after things got lost in translation (starts at 25:00 in the BC interview). Now, he doesn't give perfect answers but he doesn't double down on dumb after being called out on his privilege. He's a comedian and comedians do dumb things, but he addressed it and that's all I can ask for. Does that make what he said ok? No. Would I ever buy his music? Nah. But the show hits different for me after giving it a chance, especially because of how the black characters are portrayed. I initially thought it would just be some dumb jokes but the show has some layers.

Several of the writers are black, including the writer of the best episode, and two of the main characters are black (one of them is his real life hype man). I'd say they’re both well developed representations of black men. No token/clown behavior from either of them but they're both still funny, and they did an episode on mental health that showed more depth than almost anything I’ve seen on TV in a while. It's an interesting and funny show and it provides a platform for black actors/writers to showcase their skills at the same time.
