"The Wire's" Jamie Hector (Marlo Stanfield) Discusses Pusha T's "My Name Is My Name"

[Mad Good Dro]

"The Wire's" Jamie Hector reveals how he reacted to Pusha T referencing his character's statement.

When Pusha T revealed that his debut album would be titled My Name Is My Name, the Clipse rapper explained that the inspiration for the album title came from Marlo Stanfield, a character from HBO's critically-acclaimed series, "The Wire."

On "The Wire," Stanfield, played by Jamie Hector, gave a speech where he shouts, "My name is my name," referring to his credibility in the streets.

In a recent interview with The Urban Daily, Hector shared his thoughts on Pusha drawing inspiration from his character's statement.

“I was in California at the time and I got a text saying, ‘Did you hear that Pusha song?’” Hector said. “When I heard that he named the album that, I was like ‘It’s true, bruh. Pusha T is your name and that’s what everybody is going to remember, so you have to carry that weight.’ I appreciated it.”

Hector explained the mental state "The Wire's" producer told him to get in for the scene where he made the aforementioned statement.

“If IBM or Apple or any major corporation did not that know their name was being dragged through the mud, they would be pissed off with their employees when they found out, because your name is everything,” he said. “It holds its weight and that’s what brought the intensity for me to do that scene.”
