Overall Meaning

The lyrics to B.C's song "Swarm" paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle surrounded by wealth, violence, and a sense of invincibility. The opening lines "So much money coming in I can't lie, If I see that Opp then he's a dead guy" suggest a ruthless attitude towards enemies, referring to them as "Opp." The singer boasts about filling their pockets with money earned from their criminal activities, portraying a lifestyle where material wealth is prioritized above all else.


The repetition of the word "Racks" in the chorus emphasizes the accumulation of wealth and success in the singer's life. This constantly repeated mantra highlights a fixation on money and the desire to amass more of it, no matter the cost. It reflects a sense of greed and materialism that drives the singer's actions and decisions.


The references to drug dealing and violence in lines like "I can, serve you, that, yuh, You not, built for the trap, yuh" paint a picture of a dangerous and illicit world where the singer operates. The imagery of finding enemies "found in the ocean" suggests a brutal and lethal approach to dealing with opposition, further emphasizing the singer's merciless nature.


The lyrics also touch on themes of loyalty and camaraderie among the singer's associates, as seen in lines like "I got some niggas around me they known for the shooting." However, there is also a sense of detachment and dehumanization in the references to "goblins" and people who "do not look human." Overall, "Swarm" offers a dark and gritty portrayal of a life defined by money, violence, and a ruthless pursuit of success at any cost.

I feel like this was quite straightforward though.
It’s definitely a character study and we get into her psyche and how it started to fall apart.
Episode 6 tells us the ending for sure, she rushed on stage and was arrested and detective Greene is on her way to her.
Episode 7 is showing us how detective Greene found out about her.
Her obsession with Ni’ja is an extension of her yearning for Marissa: that’s the last strongest thread she has to her sister.
Everything we see from when she rushes the stage is all in her head. The walk out and into the car is probably when she got arrested: her idol probably freaked out and rejected her and in search for nurturing and reassurance she pictured the only person who understood and loved her: Marissa.
We did get some background: she killed someone at her grandma’s, red milk= blood.
I think the reason we didn’t get the background is commentary on the “sad stories” looked for with criminals.
Social worker said it well: you need to know how she’s broken so you feel better about yourself.



@mindingminesx

this show had my media & cinema studies degree working lmao i loved it, but i agree that we needed more backstory on dre

this show was interesting to see as someone who was on stan twitter for 10+ years - seeing people get doxxed, mass harrassment, being extremely defensive. whew

episode 6 was confusing at first bc they were alluding directly to the beyhive not ni’jah and used different faces. it tied together in the outro of donald glover’s interview about the show.

basically episode 6 is the “reality” of andrea greene. it’s meant to discuss the glamorization of true crime (that scene where the social worker dragged them). the documentary closes with “real” dre running on stage at the concert in atlanta then being arrested. the inclusion of the news clippings tells us that the story we’re watching is actually the dramatized version by donald glover. what we’ve watched is television so we don’t know what to believe.

the ending of episode 7 is dre’s imagination of ni’jah embracing her and her idolization of both ni’jah and marissa morphing.

i do think the scene of rashida and dre mirror what happened with marissa.

when marissa texted her about festival, it used blue bubbles instead of grey. when she finds marissa’s body, her phone is on the charger.

i have a lot more to say - i agree that it’s one for a rewatch. overall, a great show and i think it’s one that’s helpful with media literacy. some people really thought that andrea greene was a real person lol.

The internet finds every excuse to shit on Chloe. It's very weird...she's so harmless compared to most people's favs.

@angiemono8539

Yes, but at the same time, I find it strange nobody ever raises or criticises the negative comments Donald Glover made about black women. It's so disappointing that he's such a self-hating black person and the black community praises and backs him with no critique, it's very toxic and devalues black women with our collective endorsement.

@dietmtndew3363

Didn’t she work w Chris brown? Not sharing she deserves hate but her actions are questionable

I saw the Marissa/Ni’jah face mashup as confirmation that Dre was in love with Marissa all along and that Ni’jah was just a coping mechanism for it. With internalized homophobia and all the other trauma she experienced she had no way of comprehending or healthily dealing with her feelings which is why we she was watching Marissa and Khalid during THAT scene. Also, even before Dre gets in a relationship with Rashida we get hints at her sexuality with the mom’s comments in episode 6, her ambivalence to men and her telling Billie about how she was called a homophobic slur as a kid

@Kevin-eh2wz

That also reminds me of the episode in which Billie is when she makes a face at billies character and the other girl kissing

@liwzie

hadn't tought about it like that, very interesting!

@ambriaashley3383

Mhm. She & Marissa had serious boundary issues, maybe even since they were kids. It’s one thing to be close, but to watch your BFF/crush have sex?? And the reverse, as a friend you’re not gonna check to make sure the door is LOCKED or at least CLOSED before getting it on with your man & your roommate is home?? Good Lord lmao
