Just finished the season today. I wouldn't say his arc was disappointing as much as the seasons was. Everyone essentially worked with everyone at certain points and it just never really jibed for me. I don't know anything about the source material to know what they were trying to set up, if anything with certain characters.
at points they don't bother adding any dialogue, but just show reactionary shots. think krs-one did a whole song during the third half of one episode.
The music focus is about the same as it was in S1. I think it is the genre they are shooting for (70s blacksploitation).
The only reason I suggest moving Rossi to C&D is because Shades has dealings with them in the comics. And there a lot of NO under-the-breath references in S2 that it seems they were planting the seeds for why he would turn up in NO.
I still think Colter holds it all together in the end. Shades is still playing Juice in my eyes.
Nah. Shades is a strong person. Juice was a sniveling coward.
It seems like they try to feature artists from Harlem, Queens, Brooklyn, and NYC in general.
They had Stephen Marley in one episode. The Marleys are more Miami based, aren’t they?
His wiki says he grew up in Jamaica and lives in Miami. His appearance probably has more to do with the Jamaican influence of season 2. Not all of them are from NY but for the most part they seem to be especially the rap artists. You've got Mobb Deep, KRS One, Ghostface Killah, Wu-Tang Clan, D-Nice, Jakim, Jadakiss, and probably a bunch more I'm forgetting that are New York artists.
I think it makes sense if they are all NY based artists. It is supposed to be a connected, influential LOCAL club. So logic would dictate that the acts would be either current up-and-comers or established acts paying homage to where they came up.
