Michael Vick Makes Cameo In ‘Atlanta”s ‘Money Bag Shawty’ Episode

Thursday night’s third episode of “Atlanta” featured nods to the city’s recent past, including former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. The show also weaved some Gucci Mane fodder into the dialogue.

Earn comes into some money, hoping to show Van a good time, only there’s no good time to be had in the city this night.

The ending scene showing Vick pays homage to the football star’s time in the A and also what he meant to the fans. Down on his luck, he has resorted to racing people for money. Earn has been finessed out of money all night, why not again, this time on his terms?

Meanwhile, this is Van’s “Robbin’ Season” debut, with the first two episodes devoted wholly to the fellas. After the opening scene, she’s in pretty much the rest of the show, bouncing lines off Earn, who is trying to show her a good time on his dime for once.

“Money Bag Shawty” touches on a number of hot-button topics, including institutionalized racism, strip club commerce and VIP culture, but mostly it does what AtlantaFX has always done, and that is show you the truth through that ATL lens.
