The actor who plays U-God looks more like U-God than U-God himself.

The art of sampling scene is simply brilliant. Someone posted it on YouTube and it's probably the most famous scene from the whole show. I'm sure every producer can relate to that scene.

If this show doesn't get you excited about hip-hop, digging crates for old records, and the Wu in particular, then you're a lost cause. Every aspiring rapper needs to watch this show.

Season 2 is way better than the first season

Dude play ghost was a lazy actor. Sad he got so much screen time

Yo I gotta admit they've really gotten into the characters!

I've been sleeping on this. Are the episodes 30 or 60 minutes? I need to buckle down and watch them this year

Each episode is about 60 minutes like 55 or 52. Shit would be good but for WU fans it's even more entertaining!

The Criminology episode was dope!

Bruh this show isn't serious lol. Why is ghost wearing a christian cross? The Rae kid is really trying though lol. damn

why are they dressed like Shaft? LOL

The dude who plays Rae might be the best actor on there. The show is pretty good. Some episodes are directed by the legendary Mario Van Peebles, so they have an old school flavor. I’m just loving the ‘90s references. You mfs forgot about Tales from the Hood, didn’t you? I got that on Blu-ray recently

For real? That's pretty nice to have Van Peebles. Heard RZA was picking up some directing duties on the show too, and was trying to mix in some cinematic flavor at times.

Have been meaning to watch Tales for over a year now. haha

damn lol

This season is real dope. nostalgic shit.

I think they could do spin off series, or RZ and Tse could tell other hip hop biographical stories like Nas, Biggie etc

I finally started watching tonight. First episode was entertaining... Wasn't expecting Rae/Ghost beef

Season 3 is dope

Still have to catch season 2 somewhere.

Season 3 was the best imo.

I just wished the show was more realistic, but I get it, sometimes it has to be this way, for entertainment purposes and also to tell the story faster.
