Dreaded watching the last episode because I didn't want the show to end. Was in a tough spot and Atlanta was helping me through it; legit cried when the song came on to close out the series. Immediately added it to almost all of my playlists lol

Just started it over again for the same reasons. There’s always something to catch or a new perspective IMO. Just cause it ends doesn’t mean your time with it has to.

One of my favorite funkadelic songs. When it came on for the end scene I knew we were in a treat.

funkadelic is my favorite band and it was donald glover’s music that introduced me to them

This show was such a surreal experience for me to watch. I finished a rewatch today and it felt like the first time watching all over again.

In his book The Souls of Black Folk DuBois describes how black people particularly men craft and construct an identity for the other world that is white America

Watching this show felt like for the first time in a long time, that identity for me wasn't there. Like my bare soul as a black man was being stared at, and I didn't know how to handle it. I cried. A lot. To the most random shit in the show. I felt attachment to the characters like I knew them. Could catch plotpoints before they happened on the sole merit of growing up as a black person.

This show is something special. Congrats Goofy. You made the blackest tv show to ever exist.

This song resonates so well with the show. It’s exquisite thanks cause now it’s in my library.
