Damn, Black Thought!!!! :mjcry:


Slim Charles :mindblown:




Something about is his death felt metaphorical and ironic given the conversation between BT, CC, Chris Partlowe, Method Man about how pimps are almost left out now that they've opened the parlor. They still get paid but they weren't allowed to hang out at the parlor, one of CC's hoes left him through the help of Abby, Candy is pretty much on her way out of hoeing and getting into movies and besides that, Candy didn't have a pimp anyways.

Just feels like we're going to see a lessening of importance of Pimps in the sex trade industry with women gaining more power (and income) in regards to this show and this episode showed that. Very good EP.


It's a shame more people don't watch this show. This thread feels dead in comparison to some other shows. This is being slept on just like The Wire was.

It's crazy but it really took the Wire until season 4 to really gain a cult like following. Before then the ratings sucked.


Fortunately HBO values good art and keeps things going.


This show is too good to be only 26 pages through half the season. There's almost no one talking about this on my social media feeds or in real life.

I was surprised to see Reggie (Black Thought) get taken out. I thought he was gonna be the Amsterdam reporters source? Thought did well. He played a "gorilla pimp" to a tee.

I get tight every time a new cop comes in the parlor for a shakedown. And this is my 1st ep figuring out who Ralph Macchio is playing. Never realized he was the plain clothes cop. I know him from the original Karate Kid so I wasn't sure how he aged. I wasn't sure if he was the mobster dude (Rudy?) or his Rob Schneider looking sidekick.Hold up...is that Rob Schneider??

The fukk is Abby's problem with her parents?? She did look better in C.C.'s ex-ho's outfit than she did tho. Speaking of, watch that bytch come back and get her other armpit sliced open. SMH.

Sobotka is falling in love with Meth's (Rodney) ho. I wonder how that's gonna play out?

Gay dude probably gonna be patient 0 with that package. This mufukka is with a different dude every episode.

Bernice need to take her monkey ass back down south. If yall watch Power did you realize that's the same chick that plays Tarik's girlfriend?

That chick that get her ass beat by her pimp Reggie Love reminds me of Keisha Grey.

:takedat:

Anyway another solid episode. Cant believe next week is the last of the season. Was not expecting that scene in the diner.

pretty sure slim will be straight. just gonna say dude was sticking up the place so he had to clap him. won't be an issue.

thought CC was gonna be at the bus station when this chic was on her way up the escalator. surprised it faded out where it did.

abby gonna end up with hands put on her. this is the 2nd time she interfered in the pimp/ho dynamic. there will not be a 3rd time.

as far as the gay dude, he might end up with aids, but it also looks like he is gonna be the one who gets those disco parties popping.

frank sobotka is trying to save that one ho, shyt will also end badly for him.

shout to Black Frankie

I hate when they put bad wigs on black actors in period pieces.

The one they have on D'Angelo Barksdale should be unacceptable.

Sabotka, Slim Charles and the evil Franco twin caught feelings for hoes this episode smh. Sabotka paying this bytch not to smash :hhh: and being racist at the same time. Slim clapped a nikka and made an off-menu special for the bytch and she didn't even appreciate the shyt :hhh:. Franco kissed that bytch in the mouth :hhh::hhh::hhh:

Bernice need to come home :to:.... I mean, go home. She's not bout that life
