Yup he used that shyt to get in the right mindframe. Thats why he didnt have time to deal wit his mama cryin. It goes back to the point that Unc mentioned in the previous episode. "All of us are part of that boy"
And its gotta be said...I don't think any nikka in the history of television ever been beaten and robbed in 2 seasons as much as Franklin has. I know he's got some get back but damn. How has this nikka not committed that as much as he's been punked. I gotta go thru the recaps and try to come up with an official count:
He got beat and then robbed by Lenny and Ray Ray
Then robbed for that money by that rapin ass nikka.
Gets beat up by 12 in front of his friends and family
Gets beat up by them ese's who broke his mamas car window
Gets t-boned... tased... kidnapped...tortured and extorted by the CIA dude
Got a gun pulled on him by Kevin and had to be saved by Leon yet again...i guess this don't count but damn man...this aint leadership
Got robbed by one of his own people for crack profit
then had a truck of money "ambushed and ripped off"..which was really some nikka in the crew who claimed it was for the nikkas in the crew who got killed by the Messicans
Got robbed by the rich white boys pops who took all the cocaine.
Had Leon's bytch take some product and throw a fukkin party
Got robbed by Oso and that Cartel bytch for the Crack formula
Got a kitchen robbed by Leons crackhead bytch...who later said she had been stealin all along
Then went to jail...got robbed for his shoes...and his bunk
then got his ass kicked by Ray Ray and them
Then he got his ass beat by mexicans and c.o's after gettin his chucks back...
Hope this nikka has better luck in season 3
When you break it down.
Wanda really ran off on the plug twice.
But that was pre jail franklin,post jail Franklins transformation might be startling,for those who have been watching from the beginning.
I guess he doesn't have to neccessarily become a beast,Ace wasn't like that on Paid In Full.
But all those L's he's taken makes you feel like he's going to have to be a beast to make an example out of somebody.
Because the word on the street had to have been that he was looking like a lick.
Him catching that body with Kevin in broad daylight even though he is an accident murderer,the fact he got off probably will be legendary in his hood,and let folks know he means bidness
