After an elongated hiatus, ‘Atlanta’ returns on March 1st.

Now in its second season, the FX show (which is the brainchild of Donald Glover) is being co-dubbed ‘Atlanta Robbin Season.’

For those wondering why, the answer is supplied in the newly released trailer (“everybody gotta eat”).

The show sees Glover star as a college dropout-turned-manager to his cousin, a rising rapper played by Brian Tyree Henry. Season 2 is set during the holidays, which writer and exec producer Stephen Glover says serves a key purpose. Because its a window during which robberies rise as people buy more things and need more money. Per the show’s writers, the “tense and desperate time” becomes a metaphor for the characters.

Chris Brown has a serious problem.

What it is? The polarising nature of his legacy.

For, while some commend him for maintaining his position as one of the world’s biggest stars, many cite his declining pure sales and quality of his new material as grounds for their refusal to name him one of the greats.

Worrying, as he now finds himself forced to look on as Beyonce, Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Drake elevated to heights his critics believe he will never reach.

You can tell Chris Brown writes his own music. 1. Bc it’s repetitive 2. It’s basic. He’s not living up to his potential, and he had chances to do so, but being rich since an early teen kinda hinders your growth as person. Or so I’ve heard.

Now, the critical mass has launched a scathing attack on his art after he took to Twitter to reveal that he’d like to tour with the first three artists mentioned above.
