I think Irv is still doing a lot of drugs. He looked sweaty and shaky and skinny and moving his mouth weird.

That Nas impression was almost like a voice over, spot on. lol

Irv had his time, and had great moves way back when, but he fumbled for sure, and was never the same after 2005 or so. He's not Dame, but he's close.

Didn't watch the clip in OP (laziness on my part...)


Of all cities, why Baltimore? Does this have anything to do with the TV show The Wire being filmed there?


I always wondered how the street politics worked out filming an HBO show in a legit Baltimore hood. Did David Simon check in?


Always wondered how The Wire staff, random production ppl, actors, etc interacted with the locals in Baltimore..
A good deal of Wire characters were actually locals...not sure how street they were...
And he still ain't hit the p*ssy :mjgrin:

This book covers it pretty well. Basically they worked with and even hired the locals. And the local folk appreciated their stories being told. For the most part, they didn't see it as being exploited.

David Simon and Ed Burns lived around and worked in Baltimore themselves so that helped as well as also having a mostly black cast.

nore was/is a street dude. he’s been in prison. he knew what was up with that dumb ass idea.

I remember seeing Juice the weekend it came out. I went to school and we were all taking about it. A kid was saying how somebody started shooting outside one of the theaters. Other kids say they saw it on the news and it was in the newspapers.

Found out years later that the shooter was Nore :mjlol:
