On Tuesday, 2 Chainz teamed up with the Fulton County Board of Health to offer free HIV testing at his pop-up landmark Pink Trap House in Atlanta. Crucially, the rapper promoted the event via various social media platforms:

Donald Glover’s Golden Globe-winning Atlanta, for my money, was the funniest and driest comedy on TV in 2016. It had heart, it probed into its characters’ interiors with uncommon insight, it sprinkled about surreal touches. (“It’s free chicken sandwich day.”) Most of its 10 episodes clocked in around 22 minutes, which…

The recognition for Atlanta at this year’s Golden Globes is keeping many of us alive while watching La La Land predictably and dishearteningly win a lot of awards. Here’s Donald Glover in a chocolate suit accepting his award for Best Actor in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical, after Atlanta won earlier in the…

On Sunday night, at least one person at the Critics’ Choice Awards decided that if reality no longer matters we might as well have some fun with it.

In its first season, the finale of which aired on Tuesday, Atlanta effectively solidified itself as an offbeat show about black people that dares to experiment in surreality. That subtle tone begins with its all-black writing staff, and their ability to essentially write about us by first writing about themselves.…

Donald Glover, who hasn’t been doing much press since the premiere of his stellar new FX series Atlanta, recently popped into The Ellen Show and discussed the legendary role he just landed in the next Star Wars.

Tuesday night’s Atlanta took a trip into the wonderful world of surreality with an episode-long parody of BET, done via the fictional “Black American Network.” As the show went about deconstructing stereotypes and hypocrisies, complete with a ridiculous news debate show and fake commercials aimed at black viewers, it…

The scene in Atlanta that gets Zazie Beetz the biggest reaction involves hair. In the pilot episode of Donald Glover’s FX series, her character Van walks into a bathroom and unwraps her headscarf to reveal a head full of Bantu knots. When I tell her over the phone that I slightly gasped at the sight of 1) a headscarf,…

As entirely expected, though surprisingly early, FX has renewed its two popular new series Atlanta and Better Things for second seasons after just two weeks on air, thanks to great receptions and ratings.

Atlanta’s mysterious, beautiful trailers paid off. Lots of people wanted to know a little bit more about what this show even was other than slow pans across the landscape.

In the premiere of Donald Glover’s FX series Atlanta, a deliberate anti-show, his broke, industrious protagonist Earnest Marks tries to gain a favor from a white friend who works at a local radio station. Failing at the power of persuasion, Earnest tells Dave, “I’m not ‘every dude,’” a statement we know to be false.…

In the first trailer for the upcoming FX dramedy Atlanta, not much happened. We just saw Donald Glover waking up over and over and over again. In this extended version, people actually talk and have awkward silences.

On Wednesday, a grand jury in Atlanta indicted former Atlanta police officer James Burns with felony murder in the June 22 shooting and death of Deravis Caine Rogers.

Donald Glover has been teasing clips of his hip-hop-centric FX series Atlanta with short clips that show him strolling in the streets with his boys. But here’s a promo trailer that involves actual scenes and a baby, under the dreamlike squealing backdrop of Flume’s “Sleepless.” There’s no dialogue to give an idea of…

On Monday, the anonymous Twitter account Raped at Spelman sent out a series of tweets alleging that she had been raped by four Morehouse College students. “This is my freshmen year at Spelman [College] and my last year because I decided to leave after what happened to me,” the user tweeted.

Beverly “Guitar” Watkins is trying to break out of the old folk’s home: “I want to be where I can be free,” she says. “I live that rock & roll lifestyle.”

This is... odd but not unbelievable: the Georgia Voice, an LGBT community paper, is reporting that Chris Brown bailed on a scheduled appearance at an Atlanta Black Gay Pride Weekend event. The supposed reason? The event, billed as “the biggest girl party in the country,” also had a handful of gay men in attendance.

So far, our (hungover, sleep deprived) heroes are, in relative terms, coasting: none of the usual van trouble, broken cell phones, or robberies of tours past. This is not to say that all is right with the stars. Let’s watch as they cross an invisible border to a magical land where people still smoke cigarettes…
