Private Notes
The series opens with a confrontation between local rapper Alfred "Paper Boi" Miles and a man who breaks off the side view mirror of Alfred's parked car. Alfred's cousin Earn tries to mediate the situation while stoned sidekick Darius has a sensation of déjà vu.
Issues like police brutality, mental illness, and transphobia are addressed as Earn awaits bail after the boys get arrested for their shooting incident.
Earn goes on a date with Van even though he's broke; Paper Boi proves he might have what it takes to hustle.
Paper Boi deals with a social media troll, internet criticism, and exploitation; While Earn tries to trade his phone for quick cash, Darius sets up an investment for the future.
Justin Bieber, who is depicted as an African-American, makes an appearance in Atlanta at a celebrity basketball game, rubbing Paper Boi the wrong way. Meanwhile, Earn sneaks his way into a high-powered agents meeting after being mistaken for someone else, and Darius gets involved in an incident at a shooting range where he is criticized for a questionable choice for target paper.
Van meets her WAG friend Jayde for dinner and they clash over their respective lifestyles. Later, they smoke weed and reconcile, but Van forgets she is scheduled for a drug test the next day. She tries to use her daughter's urine, but spills it and finally admits to her boss that she's smoked, who understands but has to fire her.
A satirical episode, Paper Boi features as a guest on a talk show called Montague, being part of a discussion on the media's indictment of Black culture and its intersection with trans people. Commercial parodies play throughout the episode during the breaks of the talk show.
An NBA star named Marcus Miles is in the same club as Paper Boi, hogging the drinks, women and limelight, which aggravates Paper Boi. Additionally, their promoter is avoiding paying Earn, who attempts to chase him down throughout the night. Eventually, Paper Boi strong-arms him and takes his money. Later, another shooting happens (outside of the club), which the police link to Paper Boi on the news due to his "armed robbery".
Earn wakes up in another woman's bed and Van comes by to pick him up for a Juneteenth-themed party which she believes will help her establish good networking. The luxury home's owner is a rich White man who is shown to know quite a lot about Black culture in an anthropological way and his bourgeois Black wife. To impress the party's attendees, Vanessa and Earnest have to pretend they are a married couple who love fine art. Earn ends up going off on the homeowners when the wife insults Paper Boi and his hip hop management career after he is outed by some valets. On the drive back home, Earn and Van have sex in their car.
Earn loses his jacket, which has imporant items to him, after a night of partying. The Uber driver, who is a drug and weapons dealer, has it but ends up getting shot by police while wearing it. Later, Paper Boi gives Earn a generous 5% pay which he gives to Van. Earn's coworker Justin comes by and returns the important item he desperately needed—a key which unlocks the storage facility space he is living in.
Ayyy! We back in the city but thangs feel a little different. Must be Robbin' Season. Free Paper Boi!
Trappin ain't easy, ya dig? Shout out to all my credit card scammers in the club tonight.
Earn is out here making that money. Too bad he still look broke as hell. This whole city runs on stunting, you feel me?
When you go outside the city white people be acting different. That's why I can't even go to Marietta. Too weird.
You know how you need a fresh cut but your barber is always on some wack stuff? He's lucky I only trust him.
Darius is trippin in this one. Y'all know I woulda been left.
Yeah girl, we gonna party tonight! But if you don't post about it, did it really happen?
Why Paper Boi always got an attitude? He rich, right? That's why I can't feel bad for these celebrities.
We might have to make that move tonight. I heard there's a pajama party and Paper Boi is gonna be there.
Y’all youngins don't know nothing about this. This one takes me back to middle school. Shout out Miller Grove!
Sometimes you gotta go where the money goes. But it be feeling like something is holding me back. Like I can't leave.
Wow it’s been a minute. I mean, I like this episode about the troubled kid but we waited 50 years for this?
I think everybody knows blackface ain’t cool anymore, we get it. They be trying too hard to go viral.
This one was cool. Going to rich parties and meeting weirdos. Season 1 was better.
I was legit scared watching this.
Sometimes shows just be over my head acting fake deep. Where's the poop jokes?
I've definitely seen this before on a better show. They're always stealing ideas. But the fashion industry gotta be exposed #streetwear.
White people watching this be like... Pain.
Al and Darius walk around Amsterdam. Psssh, I could make a way better tv show than this.
Black and White episode? Yawn. Emmy Bait. Why do they hate black women so much?
Yo Tarrare was a real person. Wild. They gotta stop biting these better shows tho.
Woooh chile, Atl is the GHETTO these days. I'm thinking about moving to Miami where it's safe. Leave all my exes on read.
We got grown men out here being this petty. Y'all really need therapy. I don't cuz I already know what's wrong with me.
I'm tired of all these old heads hating, just let me listen to my Italian drill music and blue eyed trap in peace. Y'all can listen to D'Angelo or whatever.
My family is so crazy we need our own reality TV show. How you still got beef from the 70's? Whew. And y'all need to stop flirting with people's daddy.
One time I was gonna be an extra on this TV show but then they started asking me about Social Security numbers and taxes and being up there at 5am. I know y'all ain't doing that with Taraji.
Ay, Ya'll remember how we used to hit the club and do the Pool Palace and Crank Dat and nobody got shot? Yeah me neither.
Libra men are the WORST. How you a air sign and ain't got a passport? Ain't nobody trynna go on vacation in the woods with bugs.
An in depth look at the making of the American Classic A Goofy Movie.
They always making Paper Boi go through something.
You know what? As much as I hated this show, I think I'm gonna miss it.
