If you say so :ehh:

The creator said that tons of rappers auditioned for parts and that Meth was far and away the best actor for the roll.

i've probably mentioned this a few times but i really didn't like the kid Randy..he really got on my nerves.

I really fukking hated Ziggy and almost every scene he was in. I know he's one of those minor characters people love, but I just couldn't get into it :manny:

if you hated him he did his job perfectly.

I didn't have any problem with the character but cosign Chris Partlow. He didn't sound like a West Baltimore hitman he sounded like a Nigerian who grew up in Silver Spring Maryland to me :manny:

i didn't think meth had it in him :salute: he totally validated himself

dude grew up 6 blocks from me. i used to just imagine that he was too brolic for silver spring so he moved to west baltimore in search of adventure

a lot of the kids were amateur actors pulled off the streets by robert chew (prop joe). he ran an acting academy in baltimore. funny shyt is that dude was an INCREDIBLE actor because he was so flamboyantly gay in real life.

Prop Joe was gay in real life? What other things you can tell us about the cast?
