It has only 25 views, but he wants to avoid fans finding the post and hyping the killer.

Earn and Al venture to the studio after their discussion of Als Crank Dat video.

(Al admits to Earn that while the guys incredibly kind, his music downright sucks.)

The driver exits the car and stares ominously at Al, yelling Paper Boi!

The entire mall erupts into madness as another shopper (pushing a stroller?!)

Amid the flurry of bullets, Al keeps on trying to escape.

Terrified and filled with adrenaline, Al pushes the young man into a glass shop window.

He operates out of a van and is known around the neighborhood simply as Shoe Man.

I mean, I would too, depending on the friend and the shoe.

We all have our vices.

Darius puckers his lips and Earn begrudgingly leans in and kisses him back.

Al is still trying to find safety amid the shots flying in the mall.

Al quickly gets into his car and emphatically thanks him for saving his life.

That shooter turns out to be someone Al had beef with from high school.

Darius asks what happened, and Al simply says he thinks the man was still mad.

Its a great way to show the cyclical nature of Black culture and traditions.

Atlantais no stranger to guest appearances from polarizing celebrities, e.g.

Liam Neeson and Chet Hanks, and now we can add Soulja Boy to the list of questionable cameos.
