Stringer got one year of being on top and he was trippin like crazy. In the end both of them were right, but Stringer was impatient with Avon. Avon was the type of person you needed to show real hard concrete evidence that he could leave the streets and when he failed that's all the validation Avon needed to know he was right.

Avon was right about the streets though, the game is the game and once Marlo saw Avon was weak that's all he needed to topple that empire and Avon knew it. Funny enough String being on top was what made that organization weak, he got passive with them boys and that's why their muscle was trash.

Breh if u stay in the game, u will either be in jail or dead... There are no old drug dealers.

If you get to that high a level, its hard as fukk to clean your money, cuz 9/10 nikkas like that know NOTHING about real business, which is why clay davis bled stringer dry :dead:

If u get 100 drug dealers at that level u get lucky if 5 make it out alive and not imprisoned

Rewatching it now and after reading some different opinions, Stringer kind of looks like a clown now. Like he did all that fake smart shyt just to stunt on the little nikkas and the workers. He was mad disrespectful to people too. He gets credit for the money laundering tho, can't front on that

Also I'm noticing more clearly how strong Avons name was. His rep was bulletproof on that show. Had connects on demand for dope, muscle, get out of prison schemes anything he needed.
